Caffeine Stream 32: James Lindsay
After a fairly long vacation from the podcast, we return to discuss the academic spelunking of James Lindsay, agent of the "Greivance Studies Affair," mathematician, martial artist, and tireless critic of Marxism and other forms of progressivism.
We go over some of the major who's-who in the academic progressive world, including:
- Georg Hegel
- Karl Marx
- Herbert Marcuse
- Paulo Freire
- Kimberle Crenshaw
- Gayle Rubin
- John Fetzer
- Alison Bailey
And perhaps most importantly, we talk about the importance of having "philosophical attack dogs" ('noble puppies,' we might say) to defend the world from bad ideas. Everyone likes to rag on negativitiy, but the naive rejection of some combativeness cedes the world to sociopaths and manipulators. It's a better place with people like Christopher Hitchens, Vox Day, and James Lindsay who are itching to go to war with bad people, and maybe teach us not just to participate in, but even to enjoy that intellectual combat.
If nothing else, its an education in its own right.
