  • In an attempt to expose academic fields corrupted by postmodern ideology, Helen Pluckrose, Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay spent a year submitting intentionally broken papers to academic journals.
    Their secret project was cut short when an investigative journalist from the Wall Street Journal discovered the group had published a paper under a fake name.
    In October 2018, with the story set to break within days, the group seeks advice from Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying.

      Why am I so drawn in and affected by this? Something deeply attatched to me cannot take my eyes off of this. Are my early institutions of learning so corrupted? How do I remedy it?
      Personally, this has highlighted what I've been trying to figure out by myself ever since the term "worldview" entered my own vocabulary.
      I think I suffer from postmodernism, and have been considering it a personal cognitive disability for years. Thank you so much for what seems to be a step in some sort of pathway to recovery.
      This should, at the very least, reset what is considered "intellectual" and "academic".
      Thanks so much for having the foresight to record it, and thanks so much for sharing.

      I think the whole "coming after me" scenarios for Peter will primarily rely on someone filing a false report then having a group of students call for action against Prof Boghossian. All this may be orchestrated by another professor, or even some sort of diversity officer. I would suggest staying off social media, and just playing it safe. Befriend students in intro courses so that they'll take your class again Peter, and be able to be allies or classroom witnesses when such scenario described in sentence one goes down.

      People within universities will try to shit on them as much as they feel is expedient.

Call it the Intellectual Dark Web, call it the skeptic community, call it whatever. But there's a vibrant & growing hunger for these types of voices, & these 3 academics will find support because of it. I don't fear for their futures. Not because I think it'll be easy for them, but I just think they're clever enough to handle it.

      This is an incurable virus for any multi racial slash diverse society. They’ve reached their minimal viable mass. These people make the Bolsheviks look like Busch league. This is potentially going to be catastrophic if it’s allowed to continue to manifest. I’m very concerned that this is hurting actual liberal progressivism that’s not of the radicalized variety. It won’t even lead to useful change, just a generalized distrust, social alienation, the rot of culture and art, depression, hate in general... it’s incredibly regressive. Sad. This could end overnight by passing a law that labels these folks a religion. Call Marxism a religion, give it a framework, give examples, empower individuals to lodge complaints with the state for religious discrimination and/or abuse under the framework that the Marxist religious members are violating the rights and protections of the individual, group or organization. They’re getting away with this abuse because they’re not a religion in the public’s space but they are in fact a religious organization

      Wowbagger it will not work without force. There’s very little acceptance for the level of force common of the former USSR or today’s N Korea to prop up Marxism so they’re trying to occupy spaces and shame folks. What they’re up against is their not going to get more support. It’s at its max. Unfortunately for them their goals are far enough removed from the statistical average that they cannot possibly get everything they want... thus all everyone will get is nonstop social unrest and bickering but no consensus. They cannot win but their whole movement can make everyone very unhappy, alienated and insecure. They wanted to change the society sans war and that is not possible. They have to win with a war... that’s the premise required to flip a society the way they want to flip it. They can create “Balkanization” and civil unrest but not changes. Now you know what it’s like to live in the Middle East where there’s been many years of this social stalemate situation; people aren’t arguing politics they’re arguing reality, culture, social morays. The left can only create rot in the west they cannot takeover. I’m hoping it gets better and I’m pretty sure it will. But right now it’s not good.

      The Stig
      It already has been for decades.
      I have very little sympathy for either Weinstein or his wife. I attended UCSC (where they got their postdocs, I think) and had to transfer. It was just as bad as Evergreen.
      The wife says it all: “we thought we’d be ok within the framework of higher ed.” Notice there was a momentary flash across her face....because why? The arguments are more sophisticated? I don’t think so.
      It was because they thought they shared the same ideology.
      It reveals the rank smugness with which academics regard themselves.
      The Weinsteins have been perpetuating the very shallowness that has made them martyrs.
      The left eats its own, and postmodern intersectional political theory is its primary dining utensil.

    In 1972, when I was a student at UCLA with my major in Psychology, I took an elective class in Philosophy. The professor would regularly give the class a subject to write a paper about, arguing and supporting (with footnotes) the side of the argument of one's choice. One week the subject was: "Is There A Right to be Born?" I researched and submitted my paper supporting my position (and belief) of "Yes, there is a right to be born." The paper was returned to me, noting that I had failed the assignment. Rather than accept the failure, I asked if I could resubmit. I was told, "Yes." As an experiment, I decided to do a complete 180 degree flip on my position, arguing that there is no right to be born and supporting abortion because "a fetus is not a human being," completely opposite of my actual beliefs. I submitted that paper and was shocked to see that I received an "A." I saved the paper and often re-read the notations from the Teaching Assistant to remind me how the Left has taken over our learning institutions. And since then, I see it getting worse every year.

But the identity and grievance cultures are highly motivated and energised, clothed in infallible and religion-like certainty, against which the protection of tenure and unions are useless. While whiffs of this ideology are being felt in Europe, its advance in the white-dominant English-derived societies may be due to the exploitation of guilt regarding colonialism and its evils. It pains me to see colleagues who are personally opposed to this ideology but don't dare to act against it, even when in their own departments a minority, being loud proponents of "Equity, Diversity and Inclusion", start taking over politically.

      Even in this video they say that while there are probably a measurable population of faculty in universities that might be silently agreeing but refuse to publicly acknowledge, what they have discovered is much more important for the students to make them aware of the snakeoil being sold in the guise of a societal cure.
      Additionally, these people you are talking about are held to the exact same rigid standards as these professors once were. Hell, Bret just wanted to teach his class like normal! But no, that wasn’t up to par with the updated grievance scholarship. So, for minding his own business, just because his actions can be loosely associated with disagreement, he was attacked, accosted and then hunted down like an animal. That’s what the mere implication of association with these ideas will get you.
      If it ever leaked that Loury was TALKING to these people? Instant Hearsay charge by his own colleagues. He’d be sold out in a heartbeat and sent down the River to drown. It would be unethical to facilitate such things when he doesn’t want any public association at all.

      random thing, but I learned a little while back that the bourgeoisie was basically the pre 19th century term for normie. I was pretty happy when I figured this out, and surprised that bourgeoisie looks so different spelled than it sounds.

      @@nickmagrick7702 Not quiet. The oppression olympics of pitting oppressor and oppressed has many historical parallels. Master-slave, bourgeoisie-proletariat, male-female white-black etc... The divide and conquer intersecting along ever increasing class dimensions. Normies are the the non combatant civilians usually oblivious to the culture war. Their hearts and minds are the battleground and object of the culture war. They may be middle class but are not yet indoctrinated by the "woke army" or their opponents.

      This is something that normies can get on board with. I think what makes it palatable is the dispassionate academic approach. It is fun subversion and trolling to get to the truth and bottom of corruption that most can't put their finger on.
      Culture war trolling can get a bit self serving and esoteric. The whole gamergate 4chan HWNDO KEK Trump progression can be a bit hard for normies to swallow.
      Strangely enough people that lived in communist countries can sense the parallels and know how to navigate this miasma.

    “Though the academic authorities are actually proud of conducting everything by means of Examinations, they seldom indulge in what religious people used to descibe as Self-Examination. The consequence is that the modern State has educated its citizens in a series of ephemeral fads.” - Nash’s Pall Mall Magazine, April, 1935
    “The position we have now reached is this: starting from the State, we try to remedy the failures of all the families, all the nurseries, all the schools, all the workshops, all the secondary institutions that once had some authority of their own. Everything is ultimately brought into the Law Courts. We are trying to stop the leak at the other end.” - Illustrated London News, March 24, 1923~~~G.K Chesterton.

    I just wanted to finally know who is Milo Yianopoulous, I knew some clips, seen a very few clips with crazy people (Big Red), but I was still fully in Blue Pill World (gonna describe the period pre-2016 very simplistic). Hell, in 2016 I started reading The Guardian.
    Anyway, I watched 2 episodes of JRE with Milo, and got to know The Rubin Report (of which I became a fan). That was early 2017. And I end up here, very very deep into a very nasty rabbit hole.
    I watched so much, I listened so damn much (since I can, because of the nature of my work, every working day I got my mp3 player filled with podcasts, YT livestreams, etc), because I wanted to know what's going on here. I did get there was apparently a Free Speech issue developing.
    In the Netherlands too I hear the language of people of institutions, I see the language of newspapers, I see the disgraceful attitude of our national news broadcaster, the NOS, and the number of people here who seem to really get it are extremely limited. Maybe there are a few more, but I only know 2 people here in NL who has a real grasp of what's going on: Sid Lukkassen and Sietske Bergsma. Marijn Poels (director of docus The Uncertainty Has Settled & Paradogma) seems to get to that level of awareness too.
    What I basically tried to do the past 2+ years, especially after I got a grasp of what's happening, is looking at developments, dynamics, etc. And by now I feel highly.....unsettled. And lonely. Because, who the hell am I going to talk about this. And how. I see how many people I know are way too much influenced by mainstream news, how I'm suddenly "not with" someone because I don't see how a certain politician is sexist as fuck and a thread to all women's rights. How that split happened? I listened to the person, they heard the narrative via the MSM.
    I barely have changed, besides being more mature than in the past, but in general I still have the same worldview, the same political stances, the same attitude towards people, etc. I used to be on the same level as most other people around me. Free speech has always been a no 1 principle of mine, which was no problem at all back when I was around the whole Occupy movement (Yep, had one in Amsterdam too). Now I'm suddenly some sort of thread...
    Great times people, great times.

    I am 62, I was born into a completely different world. Yes, I've seen things change (obviously) but it all changed so gradually. And now I look at the world and all I see is total insanity. I just can't get my head around all the crazy stuff that has come about, which now passes for normal. As far as I know, nothing like this has ever happened in the history of mankind. It's totally frightening, it's totally destructive for our civilization. I think Bret is right: the main force behind all this is power. It looks like reason is subordinate to power.

      Keep in mind you're now constantly confronted by opinions of people all over the world at near the speed of light. This might not be a massive shift in culture as much as it is an inundation of information you've only been exposed to in the last 2 decades. It's also increasingly becoming monetized and leveraged politically.
      I think it's a bit of an overreaction to claim this has never happened and it's totally destructive for our civilization. Corruption has been worse in the past, and with worse consequences. That doesn't excuse what's going on, but it doesn't mean the correct reaction is to panic and give up on everything assuming everything is irreparably corrupt.
