James Lindsay, one of Peter Boghossian’s fellow hoaxers of the Woke folk, discusses the war on math in this podcast.
It’s a premiere, so maybe there’ll be more.
Background: Boghossian and his associates pulled a number of Sokal hoaxes on Woke academics by getting bizarre nonsense published in their journals, then revealing that it was never intended to make any sense.
The academic establishment reacted with rage, not at the ridiculous journals but at the hoaxers of course.
It’s possible that Lindsay started the war on math by pointing out that the Woke would refuse to accept that 2 + 2 + 4. And sure enough, they started to do just that.
Don’t forget Lindsay and co-hoaxer Helen Pluckrose’s new book, Cynical Theories. Treat yourself.
