Great show! Been living in the west for years now (originally from Iran), as a professional in the medical industry. I am quite worried at how this is leaking into my profession. It’s almost hard to believe that there are those who believe this stuff! It is insanity!

In 2020 I think racism is a security blanket for people who are afraid of the true scope of self reliance... the gravity of NOT having a safety net and being judged purely on your merit and productivity. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yes, it's a convenient way of not having to take personal responsibility by deferring to a claim of contrived oppression by a more powerful group.

Great chat. Thank you!

Another scary thing about CRT is how it will inevitably interact with the placebo effect. Unlike double-blind studies, which can differentiate a placebo effect from the effect of a specific intervention, CRT would give equal credence to mitigating a patient's pain by: 1. Holding a certain type of crystal 2. Prayer 3. Tramadol Pain is subjective; so technically all three could help -- DEPENDING ON THE PATIENT and the cause of the pain; but I certainly don't want to be given a crystal by my pharmacy, or Rx'd to "Pray every 4 to 6 hours" if I break my arm.🤦🏾‍♀️😑 Also CRT won't help us discover new drugs even when they're based on ancient cultural treatments that work across cultures, like the willow-bark tea which Lakota people have always used as an analgesic; and which science has found to have an aspirin-like substance to it. I wonder if it would be helpful to evaluate patients for their own personal placebo response? So for instance, a person with a reliably high placebo response WOULD benefit from "treatments" based on their own cultural belief system; but many people are immune to the placebo effect, and they won't benefit at all. 🤷🏾‍♀️

You know how you can tell if a KZread channel is pro Critical Race Theory? The Comments section is turned off.

Sunlight has the same effect on these people as it has on vampires.

Reminds me of Neal Stephenson’s “Snow Crash “.

The Stephen Hicks songbook of Post-Modernism

Is he an educator, scientist, doctor?

I was only familiar with one Homi Bhabha, discussed at around 56:00 mark, and that one was a renowned Indian nuclear physicist: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homi_J._Bhabha . Bhabha has his name enshrined at India's first nuclear power station and research reactor. This other Homi Bhabha seems like he is a charlatan. For a post colonial critical theorist, he sure is a hypocrite for having married a white English woman! lol.

‘Chutzpah’: not pronounced with a ‘ch’ like ‘cheese’

Foucault's concept of Power is a fallacy. It's popular because it's the foundation for entire disciplines of fake academic knowledge. Foucault's concept of power is a fallacy because: 1. Foucault created an abstract idea of power. Much of the historical evidence he used (in: Madness and Civilization, Discipline and Punish, History of Sexuality) was partial and cherry-picked. There are other histories which criticise power in the real, not in the abstract which arrive at different conclusions. 2. 'Power' becomes an abstract idea for Foucauldians. Then, they use that abstract idea to support other abstract ideas such as systematic racism. They build an empire of abstractions to support their new ideology. But - as they see it - everything is ideology, and Truth is worse than myth - they think Truth is just an artifact of Power. So they can never know how and why they're wrong. 3. Foucauldian power - legitimizes actual power in society by misleading people. We should criticise power on the basis of the concrete (measured) evil it does - not on how our feelings and ressentiment motivate us. For example: watch how pomos and identitarians are taken in by COVID, climate propaganda. Misled people now allow actual power to rule uncriticised - while they're busing criticising abstract Foucauldian power. 4. Foucauldian power - is unfalsifiable. Not such an evil in history or sociology 5. The Foucauldian notion tends to drive out analysis of real power. It corrupts academia, and is even giving censors are pretext to censor their intellectual oppoents!

Author of “Critical Race Theory”? What? Let’s try: “Cynical Theories”. I went back twice to listen to your introduction. A very post-modern introduction....

I would say that our host needs to work with a speech pathologist before continuing on the podcast format.
