Episode notes
A lot of what is happening with people calling things racist is this narrativeization. And I think that's one of the big problems with having so much information available at our fingertips: You can construct almost any narrative you want just by joining them together in a certain way. So essentially they're doing essentially the same thing as the Greeks, the ancient Greeks did with the night sky. They're finding these isolated facts and then constructing narratives around them. The smarter you are, the better the seeming steel man you're going to build based off these disparate things that you're just picking out of the air," he says.
