It can also help us understand the burning of the library at Alexandria.Third time’s a charm, it seems, and you’ve now produced a piece short on guilt by association or misconstrual and long on reasoned argument. If Harris has a problem with the IDW, he is absolutely free not to listen to a word they say. Are they government bureaucrats?
But his neighbours wanted to move away from him ASAP because of wild parties, violent quarrels with his girlfriends…Many in the literary society had problems with alcohol, but as a rule did not write about it. There is no place in that for focused discrimination to serve the interests of an especially loud activist class. Those issues are all known and accepted as such already – which was one of the points of Erics response.Its the sweet seduction of making oneself believe those other people just dont see those issues, which makes them less then those who do, who then feel superior. So….? At this point it’s three articles in without any direct engagement, I really hope you don’t do a fourth.Seems to me one bunch of lefties realized another bunch of their fellow lefties became deranged. By 1850, all subjectivity had been dismissed as nonsense by almost all intellectuals in the West (“God is dead”).Around 1960, a new tool appeared on a large scale. The ideas put forth by the IDW are far more centrist. Yawn.From my perspective you guys are nothing but a lot of sin sniffing thought policing Puritans who have had the power to ruin people for having different views. If you’re not buying this, perhaps a good idea would be to look at the social justice movement and ask yourself exactly why it is that the majority of the flagbearers are self-proclaimed Marxists? Sociology profs, Political science profs, there are always a few socialists there.As regards Rubin on Rogans show, I agree Rogan argued with him. Silicon valley? It seems that the author is of the opinion that the IDW wants to be taken seriously as liberals.
There are many schools of thought and I really wish such pluralism could be observed in other social sciences.Psychology is a special case, as it is ruled by psychologists, obviously. Insisting that the IDW “talk” to the intersectionalists is like insisting that the patient compromise with cancer.I watched that video when it came out, and will make the same comment. What is perhaps more relevant is how many of these zealots there really are, and it does seem that their power is out of proportion to their numbers. Furthermore they have NO institutional power whatsoever. They are also mostlybselling media now.I think outrage is just the currency they operate on, all of them. Rationality is a more complex epistemological tool to interpret reality. Physics, biology, chemistry, material sciences, for example. This is indeed, as you say, “a zeitgeist that is everywhere.” Bloom details how the academic post-modern left turned the resolutely anti-egalitarian Nietzsche into a left-winger (pp.146-52, 214, 221, 224-8,312-4).Our lobster messiah’s defense of hierarchies against post-modern Marxists makes sense if placed in this Bloomian tradition.Oh my, my, these labels can be so confusing …. Identity blindness was never something anybody assumed was established. If you like Hicks, grand. Ben of course has his moments of tearing into the red meat of the days political events, since that’s the other part of his program and he is welcome to his own biases, but there are genuine moments in there that reflect upon him outside of his status as a Youtube Pundit. It reminded me of what I read of what happened at Salem, Mass, in the early 17th century. There is a lot of defensiveness here in the comments section. Zizek called him on it, which made his lack of clarity eminently clear. You can’t make a list of believers in PoMo/Marxism anymore than you can make a list of fish who believe in water.That isn’t the point!
The fact they are on the road to hell has nothing to do with their intentions.The PoMo’s should be critical (deeply critical) of Marxism, but in real life they aren’t. It is powerful because it is empirical: but also because it is skeptical. Good for them.I’m sure Eric Weinstein and Uri Harris are very nice unauthoritarian people and I think it quite wonderful that the IDW is “politically diverse”. But you have to be very careful in how you frame your argument. To me, this is proof that the social justice movements on the left have become a cult-like, authoritarian religion. Most importantly, the critique of rationality is well founded. Identity politics does not appear to have much links at all with Marxism. She will find excuses for the authoritarians and also provide some intellectual cover for their actions.I think if IDW wants to survive their priority should be not letting people, who wants to destroy them, in. Here is why I believe that is:Feelings/emotions are present in lower mammals dating back 200 million years. To pretend that these thoughts are in any way objective is just as much a hegemonic attempt to ostracize non-like-minded “others” as any religious claims to Truth.So what’s the answer? That doesn’t make sense as it always has the perspective of the person who created it, limited by their time/culture.I think what’s missing here, Uri, is a key point – that Eric did make in the interview with me. One can criticize reason without abandoning it.Harris writes about “Increased scepticism towards the view of discourse as a “marketplace of ideas” where rational individuals participate and the best ideas win.” Absolutely. Very respectable.JBP has made his career from being a professor and writing books – ones that are quite good and are solely non-political and for self improvement. If we part ways with accepting Critical Race Theory for example, as anything less than established fact, we are associated with ‘the right.’ We’re racists if we’re white, ‘Uncle Tom’ if we’re a POC. Non-profit activists? When we do it it’s sound reasoning. They understand that they can use false narratives to alter society to gain power. Its really hard to accept that the majority of people who hold the beliefs outlined in this article are not in the “everybody who disagrees with me is a monster and I can do whatever horrible things I want to them” camp when lives are getting ruined pretty much daily by the ideology.You are entitled to your belief, but how sure are you that you are correct?I would point out that right wing “deplatforming” or “call-outs” are also a regular thing.
