The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 101
James Lindsay, host of the New Discourses Podcast, gets asked all the time about what really got him started in his campaign against Woke Marxism. Invariably, the conversation includes a discussion of the Grievance Studies Affair, but what triggered that? Before the Grievance Studies Affair, there was “The Conceptual Penis as a Social Construct,” and before the Conceptual Penis, there was a real academic paper called “Glaciers, Gender, and Science: A Feminist Glaciology Framework for Global Environmental Change Research” by four researchers from the University of Oregon, writing on a significant National Science Foundation grant. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James revisits this paper and shares with you exactly what it says, now understood in great clarity. Join him to hear how he was “radicalized” to start fighting the Woke in a serious manner, in their own words.

I have straight-up been sectioned under the UK mental health act for holding less ridiculous and arguably less harmful (to myself or others) beliefs than these..
This is a funny (sad?) story. But I could not stay for the entire 3 hours. Sorry.
Another 2 cents. You’re not radicalized. You’re rational. Thanks so much for all that you do!
Thank you James. Critical thinking is a skill that is rapidly disappearing. It is so heartening to be able to listen to someone who knows how to think and can clearly describe the false narrative of people like those who wrote the ridiculous Feminist Glaciology BS.
May I also say that I am deeply gratified that your discourses are not tainted by the specter of a superstitious belief systems lurking in the shadows. A rare find indeed.
Per my search engine, it appears that affirmative action was initially begun in the late 1960’s. All of the papers you have read sound like they were written by affirmative action candidates who would not otherwise have met academic requirements to be accepted to higher education institutions.
I know you don’t have time for it, but perhaps in your travels, there is someone with the resources to research this.
