The Woke Rejection of the Reasonable

b"The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 34\\n\\nSociety depends upon the people in it being able to rely upon expectations about how it and the other people in it will function. This requires a sense of what is and isn't reasonable. Some of this is, as the Woke contend, socially constructed, perhaps even partially arbitrary and up for debate. Much of it isn't. Wokeness doesn't agree, however. By having adopted a strict adherence to Critical Theory and the social constructivism of postmodernism, Wokeness rejects the entire idea that there is any such thing as a reasonable person or standard. In place of a sense of what is and isn't reasonable, the Woke ideology sees only one thing, its sole obsession: power. This is a catastrophe for society and the laws upon which a functioning society depends. Join James Lindsay in this episode of the New Discourses podcast to learn about the long history of unreason in Wokeness and even its all-out rejection of the notion that anyone or any position at all can be reasonable in any meaningful sense.\\n\\nSupport New Discourses:\\npaypal.me/newdiscourses\\nnewdiscourses.locals.com/support\\npatreon.com/newdiscourses\\nsubscribestar.com/newdiscourses\\nyoutube.com/channel/UC9K5PLkj0N_b9JTPdSRwPkg/join\\n\\nWebsite:\\nhttps://newdiscourses.com\\n\\nFollow:\\nfacebook.com/newdiscourses\\ntwitter.com/NewDiscourses\\ninstagram.com/newdiscourses\\nnewdiscourses.locals.com\\npinterest.com/newdiscourses\\nlinkedin.com/company/newdiscourses\\nminds.com/newdiscourses\\nreddit.com/r/NewDiscourses\\n\\nPodcast:\\n@newdiscourses\\npodcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new-\\u2026es/id1499880546\\nbit.ly/NDGooglePodcasts\\nopen.spotify.com/show/0HfzDaXI5L4LnJQStFWgZp\\nstitcher.com/podcast/new-discourses\\n\\n\\xa9 2021 New Discourses.
