About this episode

LB discusses the challenges posed by intelligent individuals on social media and the implications for political discourse.

Welcome to the Show, in this episode I’m asking you to step into the classroom of LB, and we’re going to draw out some schemas I worked up to describe a problem I see with social media, especially as it relates to people who are “smarter.” This has been something I’ve mulled over for a bit, and frankly this new annoying term “woke right” has brought it back to the top of my mind. Before I finish my two part series of James Lindsay vs St Michael the archangel (tentatively entitled James Lindsay vs the right) I just wanted us to spend a little time talking about this problem I see in social media interactions, which then leads me to explaining the problem with disaffected Liberals on the right and Liberalism writ large as I’ve come to see it.
