New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 66 It is a persistent myth and common lie that Queer Education (Queer Pedagogy) is meant to in some way help "LGBTQ kids," whether by fostering empathy, increasing visibility, providing role models, or whatever else. This is blatantly not true. In fact, it's blatantly not true in their own words. "Queer" is not an identity at all, and it has nothing in principle to do with any sexuality, gender dysphoria (or sex confusion), or any other real thing. Queer is explicitly and intentionally (https://www.amazon.com/Saint-Foucault-Towards-Gay-Hagiography/dp/0195111273 ) an oppositional political stance. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay goes over this idea while presenting a recent essay (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/08/queer-education-is-child-abuse/ ) on the topic he published on New Discourses. Join him to learn to see through these malicious lies.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 50 Sustainability is going to be the buzzword of the century. Everywhere we turn, we hear about sustainable practices in business and industry, sustainable foods and agriculture, sustainable energy, and so on. Businesses and governments sign on to "Sustainable Development Goals," and so civil responsibility is framed in terms of this seemingly simple idea: sustainability. What does sustainability entail, though? What informs it? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James Lindsay walks through Herbert Marcuse's New Leftism of the 1960s and 1970s and explains how sustainability has become Marcuse's "New Sensibility." In other words, sustainability is the new way of thinking about the world so that we can have liberation, which is to say Communism. Join James in this groundbreaking episode of the New Discourses Podcast to explore this idea at its ominous roots.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 81 We all hear about the pendulum swinging in politics. We're also all aware that the pendulum is currently pushed very far Left, leading people to suspect it will swing back hard soon; indeed, maybe too hard. It's important to understand how Work Marxists and other Leftists throughout history have made intentional and productive use of the pendulum swinging. It is their style to arrange affairs so that when the pendulum swings back, it has also moved position so that instead of striking them, it strikes another one of their targets. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down this strategic use of "the principle of polarity" so we can strategize more successfully and avoid predictable traps.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 65 One of the hottest topics in education (and beyond) right now is "resilience." Youth mental health initiatives are being launched and entrenched all over the country, not just through school counseling but also through Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) initiatives, and their goal almost always includes "fostering emotional resilience." What is meant by "resilience" in the Woke Marxist context, though? We know it must mean something. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay draws from a UNESCO source (https://mgiep.unesco.org/article/sel-for-sdgs-why-social-and-emotional-learning-is-necessary-to-achieve-the-sustainable-development-goals) and explains that "resilience" refers to the opposite of "fragility," which means taking your brainwashing well. Join him to understand why these initiatives are not at all what they seem to sell themselves to be.
