Bob Murphy Crossover: WOKE Right Fight | Hn 82

On this "crossover" episode, Adam Haman and Bob Murphy discuss the current "woke right" accusations flying around on social media lately. What does the term mean? Who is guilty of behaving in a woke manner, contrary to their stated beliefs? What's up with James Lindsey? Genius? Idiot? Something in between? Adam and Bob have the answers!

00:00 -- Intro. Adam (with his intriguingly raspy voice) introduces the episode. Bob complains of harsh working conditions. Then, Adam's raspy voice is explained. It's all Bob's fault.
03:49 -- The "woke right": What is it? Who's arguing about the term? Who is guilty of being "woke" on the right?
09:01 -- Bob leads a discussion of James Lindsay's history of journal hoaxes. Are these hoaxes relevant to the "woke right" debate?
19:44 -- Adam weighs in. What was valuable about the journal hoaxes? What claims were overblown? Plus, Adam reveals a critically important social maxim: Never heap praise and fame on a nerd.
27:21 -- How should we define "woke" and "woke right"? Are people being consistent when they use the terms? Does the latter term even make sense? Or are we all "woke"?
39:45 -- Adam asks some clarifying questions about this kind of "woke" analysis. Bob responds. Along the way, Adam discovers why humans invented language.
58:55 -- Is "wokism" a religion? What elements does it share with organized religion?
60:02 -- Bob wraps things up with some relevant quotes by Lindsay, Rothbard, and others.
66:27 -- Outro. Thanks for watching Haman Nature!
