This should not be a new insight - all ideas can be attributed as religious in nature - it is a fallacious argument to label somebody else's ideas as religious but not yours and therefore their can be dismissed.

For instance woke is a repeat of Gnosticism waging war against Atheistic Materialism (Peter Boghossian). And both of those philosophies (religions) suck by the way.

@@helloitsme98 Slight of hand ”all ideas can be attributed as religious”, followed by something about fallacies. ...and if they all ”can” be labeled as such, of course they equally merit the label, or do they? By your standard, Galileo's teachings or a multilateral nuclear nonproliferation plan ”could” always be construed as being religious in nature, just as much as the Woke movement. Conveniently rendering the term meaningless for the duration of the argument. The fact remains that for all not using an obtuse semantic filter, certain ideas stand out as being more religious than others and thus merit observing for the psychosocial functions they fulfill besides for just the truths they assert or knowledge they might add. While not an exact science, typical religious behavior is a human thing that can be separated from a non-religious one. Here's Durkheim's definition: ”...a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things […] set apart and forbidden - beliefs and practices which unite in one single moral community called a church, all those who adhere to them.” Similarly to the categorization of personality disorders, the ”family resemblance” checklist lens will add items like the supernatural, awe, sacred rituals, a map of humanity's role in the universe etc as probable if not mandatory ingredients. On this note there does e.g. exist a widespread idea or social ”belief” that air traffic safety merits our attention. ”Truths” are repeatedly asserted in the field, with claims of irrefutable evidence about GPS nav being an important addition in the pursuit of safeguarding alleged "airborne" souls, with TCAS instructions said to deserve to be treated by all pilots as the final overruling commandments on which vertical path to take in life. But despite this, there is little evidence that the aviation- or traveling communities revere the TCAS as a sacred relic or morally infused deity. Few think TCAS or its founding engineers have lessons to teach about the origin or future of modern society, the role of women or the final destination of the living. There are no demonstrations or violent clashes on the streets in the name of the greater TCAS Vision Zero, and few wars fought in its name. There are no labels of shame ascribed to TCAS-deniers or -revisionists, and no ostracized TCAS family black sheep. Few politicians ever campaigned on empowering the TCAS community and few lost souls have gotten back on track citing the exhilarating new purpose in life they found after reading the TCAS wiring diagram and landing in the warm embrace of the nightshift avionics maintenance unit. So as much as you ”could” accuse airline safety systems and the ideas underpinning those to be a religious undertaking, there is no guarantee that sane people would find your argument compelling, whereas if all the conditional "no's" above got substituted for "many", things would look a whole lot differently. This is not to say that modern air travel safety doesn't fill an intricate, closely monitored and key structural role in society, or that violating all its tenets would have nothing to do with morality or politics. It's just not a very religiously natured (see above definitions) way of handling moral codes and social structures, whereas the Woke movement to a large extent is. Most people who are not idiots understand this and other matters of religious vs non-religious behaviors intuitively and through life experience, whether they know how to put the obvious into words in the face of semantic babble or not. It's unclear BTW who the ”we” are in ”We have excluded "religion" from our public space when it is nothing more than philosophical ideas couched in antiquated language.” It's apparent however that this ”antiquated language” is popular today both among rapidly growing portions of the inhabitants of the West as well as in large parts of the rest of the world.

He seems to dismiss this as a silly contradiction and nothing more, but it's much more sinister than that. The activists don't want understanding-- they want obedience. The essence of the trick is this: they first convince you that if you are not one of the oppressed then you are draped in privilege and will never be able to understand their plight. Therefore, you must believe what they tell you and enact the remedies they prescribe.

Best part 38:00 two atheists saying they miss Christianity

I enjoy DM so much. I laughed out loud when the ‘Baptist’ comments were brought up. I grew up as an existential anarchist (as one does as a girl in the midwest) in an agnostic household and became a Christian at 19. Went to a baptist college where I then discovered I was Catholic in a comparative Christianity class. From there, I studied and served the church for 15 years before becoming disenchanted with authoritarianism and spent the last 5 years sifting through the various worldly perspectives I had rejected as a believer -and from a phenomenologist’s perspective, heavily steeped in moral theology. lol. It was as exhausting as it sounds. I suppose I’ve now landed back at a sort of conservative but skeptic theism, which feels much more comfortable: rational, cogent, rooted, but still free. Such minutiae to contend with from an intellectual perspective. In any case, I laughed out loud as these comments (Baptist) tied so much of my experiential learnings together and said out loud ecstatically and in reminiscent revelation, ‘wow, I’ve lived such an interesting life.’ As perhaps only one trying to discern the how, what, and why if humanity might. DM, let’s get coffee if you come to the Midwest. (In a non-sexual way), I’ll make it worth your while. Am I just a random person out here asking an important person by ‘the world’s’ standards this forward question? Yes, but you never know. :) perhaps we may be of some service and encouragement to one another, if you’d like an acquaintance, who needs nothing from you but has a kind heart and enjoys ideas.

The media also blamed Glenn Youngkin's election in Virginia on "dog whistle racism" even though those same voters chose a black woman for lieutenant governor and a Hispanic man for attorney general over an incumbent who admitted to wearing blackface. Some racists they were!

How far in terms of imposition, control of individual action and punishment for transgression are you prepared to go to achieve it.

Now, tomorrow we reset everybody's account balance, again, the same happens, so over time the responsible savers see this and decide, they are going to be free riders too, so over time the pot beiing redistributed becomes so small that everybody is equally poor. Except for the ruling class who imposed this redistribution of wealth.

@@tensevo well put. Here, the various welfare payments are referred to as "sit down money". What do people do when they get sit down money? They continue to sit down. And as you described, the people who don't immediately consume their resources, attract people who do, wanting to consume theirs as well.

this talk right here should be going global.

Young adults who see themselves as straight are having problems fitting in. Some have no choice but to give into this evil just to fit in!

24:54 This is such an important point. The political left has completely abandoned class-based politics in favor of identity-based politics, effectively handing class over to the political right. In other words: Proletariat=Right, Bourgeois=Left. What a hilarious postmodern inversion. We live in strange times.

Telling people to city off family is called “disconnection policy” in Scientology.

Gentlemen, the only way this could be any better is if it were 6 hours long. Thank you and I hope you get together again soon.

I hope you're right that this ideology will be exposed for what it is. Keep up the good work so it will be.

This is interesting how this generation has actually made things a nightmare for humanity as a whole by lumping every single issue together

I've been putting off watching the clips hoping there would be a full interview. Thanks for posting the whole thing!

4:53 it's always 100 percent about communication, this has been the case since square 1.

Two of my favourite speakers making sense together.

Thank you for posting the entire conversation. Really great. I wish you many views. For my own part - the thing I've really been intellectually gnawing over lately is one of the main foundations of all this, namely the theory of social constructionism. Somehow, someway, the acolytes of this theory have missed the blindingly obvious fact that - if everything is indeed a social construct - that has to include social constructionism itself. And then they go about "freeing" everyone from meaningless, arbitrary social constructs by inventing dozens and dozens of more meaningless, arbitrary social constructs, all the while remaining cheerfully oblivious to what they're doing. If everything is indeed a social construct, well, um, that has to include woke social constructs as well. In much the same way that the woke narrative that there are no grand narratives is - you know - just another grand narrative. P.S. I'm so happy I managed to squeeze out a great liberal arts education before all this took root. My education was truly diverse and I was taught by every kind of instructor with every point of view. And while there is something to be gained by strains of postmodernism and maybe even reductionist thought, when you turn it on all of life and reality it's just a snake eating its own tail. And to absolutely no end. It's so simplistic and one sided. You can use it to deconstruct the world, but then what? You're left holding nothing but dust and ashes. Like Iain Mcgilchrist so eloquently put it, it's like looking at the stars through a magnifying glass and then complaining the universe is just a big meaningless black smudge

P.P.S. true story. In the three hours since I posted this, I had to take my 81 year old uncle to the doctor. When we arrived, the paperwork full on devoted an entire page to gender, gender identity, and preferred pronouns. I tried to explain what was being asked for, but good luck with that. I did criticize it quite loudly near the front desk. And yeah, there wasn't a single patient under 60 in the place being subjected to this, and they had no clue what it was about. But yeah. You can't even go to an ear nose throat doctor without being politically coerced into participating.

Great metaphor / that’s exactly what he was doing.

Don't let these guys near any of the Irish universities or media! Great discussion men.

We have Dr. Kimberlee Williams Crenshaw to blame for all of this.... CRT, intersectionality, and identity politics.

One of the leaders of the Cambodian Khmer Rouge was recently on trial for War Crimes. In his defence, he claimed that he "fought for Social Justice". On that basis,1.5-2 million people were murdered.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for uploading the FULL conversation. You got a new subscriber.

As a woman I fully support these ‘dissenters’ who are really just speaking TRUTH. And I specify that I’m a woman because they’re always accused of speaking to a ‘male audience’. For one, speaking to a male audience is totally acceptable and should not be a crime. Second, as a woman I want to scream at all these simps crying sexism. Equality of outcome is Communism. Please keep doing your amazing work Douglas and Peter! I wish these voices could be heard by the MSM but that will probably never happen in our broken system. I will not give up hope though!

Superb minds, framing the problem, considering solutions. All for our betterment. Thank you, Gentlemen

"They're trying to right the injustices of past by overcorrecting & overcompensating now" - that's exactly what I don't understand! In all respects. And yet it now seems that to be a "good person", you need to agree with that all the way...

Thank You Sooooooooo Much for the full conversation on this.

I enjoy your conversation so much. Objective, compassions, passionate, true and still conciliatory and solution-oriented

Fantastic, thank you so much for this absolute treasure from two towers of intellect of our time.

Douglas Murray for Prime Minister!!!!🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, an interesting and enjoyable conversation.

Excellent discussion. Both of you.

Sane discussions are so fulfilling to hear these days when we are literally inundated with lunacy in virtually every single facet of society on a daily basis.

The ultimate intersection is the individual and everyone is one.
