The Implications of Avoiding Medicalization and Allowing Self-Diagnosis

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 128 Woke Marxism has no limiting principles. It is, in fact, openly hostile to any such boundary on its own madness. As a result, it possesses no mechanisms to prevent the implementation of the worst possible ideas, as we often see, including in the education of young children. We have already seen this with drag queens, sex, sexuality, pleasure-based sex education, divisive Critical Race Theory in education, "gender affirming care" and transition, and who knows how much else. Now we confront "sanism" as a prejudice keeping the insane out of the classrooms of little kids. Sanism, according to the Woke, is an unjust privileging of sanity over insanity, and a handful of Canadian education researchers at Guelph University in Ontario have published the case (https://childcarecanada.org/documents/research-policy-practice/22/07/sanism-early-childhood-education-and-care-cultivating-space) for bringing madness and mad people into early childhood education and care. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads through this terrible idea and laments that it wasn't one of his own "Grievance Studies" hoax papers from a few years back. Join him to push the limits of belief and to understand why we must stop Woke Marxism from taking a single further step forward in our societies.
