In a world of deception, how can we accurately discern what is true, real, good, and right? I had the pleasure of consulting one of America’s sharpest modern intellectuals for guidance. James Lindsay delivers a working education of the psychological warfare that plagues our modern social and online environments. Drawing inspiration from his background in fields as disparate as martial arts and mathematics, James helps us identify and defend against the myriad ways psychological warfare permeates the culture around us. Tune in as James helps us find a roadmap on the journey to a free thinking society.

Dr. James Lindsay is an American-born author, mathematician, and professional troublemaker. Dr. Lindsay has written six books spanning a range of subjects including religion, the philosophy of science, and postmodern theory. He is a leading expert on Critical Race Theory, which leads him to reject it completely. He is the founder of New Discourses, a political commentator, mathematician, and conspiracy theorist.

In this episode, we mentioned several books including James’s co-authored work with Peter Boghossian, “How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide.” and “The Marxification of Education: Paulo Freire's Critical Marxism and the Theft of Education,” We also mentioned, “Art of War,” by Sun Tzu. Each of these are available via these Amazon affiliate links or in my bookshop!

In our discussion, James also mentioned some of his recent podcast episodes on New Discourses including “This is How you Fight and Defeat the Woke” and “How to Prevent Revolutions.”

Finally, I mentioned an educational podcast, Huberman Lab, that discusses the benefits of ice baths. Find “Using Deliberate Cold Exposure for Health and Performance,” here.
