But WARNING to all who read it... Jame Lindsay is overly verbose and uses far too many unneeded and unnecessarily complex words to make himself seem smarter, it is a failing a lot of people who went to american universities suffer from it seems. He definitely wrote this with his thesaurus program running in the foreground! ;)
Partly to throw his Twitter feed into sharp relief, I feel. He acts at the other extreme there. The contrast is bizarre.
I find his podcasts are a happy medium - he's not dicking around like he does on Twitter, and he doesn't get to play with his thesaurus while speaking.
For this particular essay, I'd definitely recommend the podcast version linked in the OP of the previous thread over the essay.
This sort of discussion actually makes the gender/trans stuff interesting because there is actually some substance to it when looked at from this angle.
The actual ideas about sex or gender are total bollocks, and picking them apart like Emma Hilton or Ross Tucker or Jane Clare Jones does is necessary, but ultimately not that satisfying because the content is so fucking stupid.
But the social engineering being used to enforce the ideology, and its precedents in history are very worth tackling. There definitely is something sophisticated and powerful there in the techniques that needs to be tackled and analysed.
We definitely need more "Woke Studies" - in the sense of analysing the techniques and delivery mechanisms of Woke, and how it developed, rather than worrying about what it's actually saying.
On the whole, I think Lindsay's doing quite a good job of this. He's definitely at the hard-line end - kind of the Posie Parker of anti-Woke, in contrast to the squishy Jesse Singal types.
