New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 181
Surely you have noticed a couple of things about Woke. First, it acts like mental illness. Second, it actually valorizes mental illness for real. These outcomes are the logical consequence of having adopted the views of the postmodernist Michel Foucault, particularly his early work in Madness and Civilization (1961). Among the consequences to this civilizational catastrophe, besides the obvious, including the transgender ideological craze, is the completely destruction of anything like a “reasonable person” standard by which to judge things we see happening in the world. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this intellectual history and its relevance to so much of what we deal with today.

This discussion supports my assertion that many of these unworkable political ideologies are supported by criminals because they can be used to protect criminals. And by “criminal” I mean the criminally insane. Also known as psychopaths.
This is a difficult subject because both “sides” can use the argument that the other side is operating from a viewpoint of insanity. So, how do you determine which side is lying? Or perhaps they both are?
You have to be able to investigate the personalities involved. And that is seldom done, even though there are several modern tests that can be used to separate out the insane.
Criminals will use the “finding” of insanity to destroy a person. And this has happened quite often. So we have a continuing problem.
The only solution I can find involves a general educational upgrade to enable many more people to make this distinction. No improvement is achieved gives easily.
