If you’ve ever wondered where Critical Race Theory came from, or why the Progressive Left seems to have collectively lost its mind all at once, buckle up for a comprehensive breakdown and analysis of the history of postmodernism. Michael Young sits down with Bridget for a fascinating conversation tracking the roots of the postmodern movement and how it’s come to dominate the landscape of today’s culture wars. He and Bridget discuss the proliferation of conspiracy theories and their cultural significance, and Young deconstructs the tangled web of postmodernism from the rise of belief that the entire culture is a system of brainwashing, to the counter culture movement of the 60s, to each successive wave of academic theorists doubling down on a flawed premise, culminating in a vicious cycle of self-radicalization, the rise of critical theory, the flawed idea that there are no objective truths, and the difference between elites and experts. Pulling from a vast array of sources, Michael breaks down why postmodernist theory is inherently nonsensical and speculates about where we go from here.
