Heterodorx

Political commentator and contrarian (but don’t call him that) Richard Hanania talks about his transition from callow supporter of Barack Obama through the fringes of Internet reactionary libertarianism and back to good old fashioned American conservatism, only to find that such a thing hardly exists any more. He tells us that Trump is bad, the Covid vaccine is good, and either extreme is prone to be wrong. Maybe the middle isn't all that bad? Hanania steps on a copyright landmine, makes cartoon quips, and advocates for cultural changes that would be recognizable to grey-heads like Nina and Corinna who grew up in the 70s and 80s. Is he sincere, or is this a ploy to outrage his audience and expand his social media reach? You decide.Links:Crying At Starbucks (AI song directed by Corinna): https://suno.com/song/5c8cc286-dc79-4e46-87e2-4c18dd06f8fbRichard Hanania’s Newsletter: https://www.richardhanania.com/Links to books, podcasts etc.: https://www.richardhanania.com/abouton twitter: https://x.com/RichardHananiaPlease Don’t Call Me “Heterodox”: https://www.richardhanania.com/p/please-dont-call-me-heterodoxAgainst Intellectual Property by Stephan Kinsella: https://mises.org/library/book/against-intellectual-propertyThis Land Is Mine: https://youtu.be/8tIdCsMufIY?si=YRDGf5mspFd9K60t--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heterodorx/support Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe

Science Fiction author and journalist Jon Del Arroz was canceled before being canceled was cool (2016) and sued WorldCon for banning him in 2018. He discusses author communities, latinx armor, being both marginalized and having white privilege, crowdfunding for comics, Trump Derangement Syndrome, the twist of no twist, small presses, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Neil Gaiman, John Scalzi, the noncompliant majority, the swing of the political pendulum, alien pronouns, Revelation, bringing God’s kingdom on earth, Christian nationalism, and abortion vans. Cori reminisces about when science fiction was more libertarian, and Nina asks: what about the weirdos? Links:Jon’s website: https://delarroz.com/Jon’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/jondelarrozJon on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B01NBOZVCPJon on Twitter: https://x.com/jondelarrozAgents of H.A.G.: https://store.ninapaley.com/product/agents-of-h-a-g-comic-book/Compliance Comix: https://store.ninapaley.com/product/compliance-comix/Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association: https://www.sfwa.org/Marion Zimmer Bradley: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Zimmer_BradleyWikipedia article on the Sad Puppies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_PuppiesHugo Award nominees (best novel) on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Award_for_Best_NovelJohn Scalzi: https://whatever.scalzi.com/2013/07/16/and-now-here-i-am-in-a-regency-dress/Nina’s outdated bio (2005): https://ninapaley.com/bio.html--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heterodorx/support Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe

The Honorable Justice Elspeth B Cypher (Retired) left her appointment on the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts to become the most-interviewed yet least-heard Heterodorx guest. Cypher discusses the Biden administrations attempts to replace sex with gender in Title IX, and the efforts of 20+ states and Moms for Liberty to push back. We also cover women in Afghanistan, the Chevron Doctrine, federal money held over foster care, Tickle vs. Giggle, Tennessee vs Cardona, stays, staying stays, appeals, districts, the MA Supreme Court-to-TERF pipeline, faith in the judicial system, why pi does not equal 3 in Indiana, making unpopular decisions as a judge, retroactively transing Ruth “Theyder” Ginsburg, biological height, masculinity, fighting oppression with more oppression, flexibility vs functionality of law, hijacking compassion, and boobs. Cori gives Elspeth his Trans Blessing but doesn’t have enough testosterone to give Nina his Andro-Blessing, proving once again there is no justice. Links:The Alabama case Cori was talking about: https://media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/files/202211707.2.pdfscold’s bridle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scold%27s_bridleWoLF: https://womensliberationfront.org/Chevron Doctrine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_U.S.A.,_Inc._v._Natural_Resources_Defense_Council,_Inc.https://www.whitecase.com/insight-alert/us-supreme-court-strikes-down-chevron-doctrine-what-you-need-knowTickle vs. Giggle (Australia): https://quillette.com/2024/08/27/tickle-vs-giggle/TN vs Cardona: https://adfmedia.org/case/state-tennessee-v-cardonaFight the Bears: https://indamidle.substack.com/p/fight-the-bearsEmail Judge TERF: elspeth@womensliberationfront.org--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heterodorx/support Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe

The Heteroducks quack about the bee stings, Covid spikes, and personal lockdowns that canceled their long-anticipated Portland trip. Then Cori “Ice Cream” Cohn pleads for nuance in considering 5-ARD males competing in women’s sports categories. He argues it is solely the fault and responsibility of the International Olympic Committee, and our rage should be directed at these irresponsible, misogynistic, activist athletic organization hierarchs, not the athletes. Finally, IceCream attempts to define “Anti-Culture,” and Nina brings up demoralization and foreign agents.

Brandon Showalter, a journalist from the Christian Post and an orthodox Christian, dives into the intricate relationship between gender ideology and the church. He sheds light on how these ideologies are impacting Christian beliefs and traditions. The discussion includes the importance of the Nicene Creed, contrasting views on gender identity within various denominations, and the significance of human rights in a faith context. Brandon also critiques modern gender-affirming practices while emphasizing compassion and the dignity of life amid changing societal norms.

Before White Guilt afflicted American liberals, the Russian intelligentsia set a precedent of their own. Famous professor of Russian literature Gary Saul Morson joins the Dorx to talk about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s literary masterpiece The Gulag Archipelago, which leads to so much more: the self-hatred of educated people; political orthodoxy; peer monitoring; doublethink; whether consciously telling falsehoods is lying; neurodivergence; literary appropriation; terrorism as a career path; the charisma of ruthlessness; and Nina’s fetish for shoe polish. Solzhenitsyn saw the US heading in the same direction as Soviet Russia, and if you listen to this episode you might too.Links:Prof. Gary Saul Morson: https://slavic.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/morson-gary-saul.htmlThe Masterpiece of Our Time: on The Gulag Archipelago at 50: https://newcriterion.com/article/the-masterpiece-of-our-time/Morning After the Revolution by Nellie Bowles: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/678113/morning-after-the-revolution-by-nellie-bowles/The Age of White Guilt by Shelby Steele: https://www.cir-usa.org/2002/11/the-age-of-white-guilt-and-the-disappearance-of-the-black-individual/Mosaic of Minds blog: https://mosaicofmindss.substack.com/Living My Life by Emma Goldman: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-living-my-lifeThe God That Failed: https://chinhnghia.com/the-god-that-failed.pdfWonder Confronts Certainty by Gary Saul Morson: https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674971806--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heterodorx/support Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe

Candice Jackson discusses gender identity erasing sex, skepticism of 'third spaces,' obstacles in classifying gender ideology as a religion, modern dissociation from material reality, abuse of suicide threats, and the need for objectivity. The podcast tackles the upcoming election and features sarcastic banter and provocative ideas.

Libertarian Party candidate for US President Chase Oliver forced a runoff election in Georgia in 2022, is a former Democrat, loves guns, hates taxes, was disappointed in Obama, is the first openly gay presidential candidate on most ballots, is dyslexic and dysgraphic, likes audiobooks, would like to weaken the office of President, will be 39 in August, wants government out of education (and pretty much everything else), supports the harm reduction model of addition management, implies free market will solve everything, and sounds like a politician. Cori earnestly tries to convince Oliver of the problems of medicalizing “trans kids”; Nina pleads for protections for individuals and asks if Pacifism is a luxury belief; and our interview is briefly interrupted by a power outage. This is the first in our series of Heterodorx Interviews With US Presidential Candidates. We’re waiting for the Trump and Biden campaigns to get in touch so we can finish. Links:Find Chase @chaseforliberty on all major social media platformsChase Oliver website: https://www.votechaseoliver.com/Chase Oliver 2024 Explained - Illustrate to Educate video: https://youtu.be/pGh2cYIPWsI?si=4xDXcoiqb6z4z_oIAgainst Intellectual Property by Stephan Kinsella: https://mises.org/library/book/against-intellectual-propertyOur Stephan Kinsella episode: https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-10-i-p-everywhere-featuring-guest-heterodork-stephan-kinsella/Nina’s IndyGoGo canceling: https://blog.ninapaley.com/2023/01/06/indiegogo-cancels-agents-of-h-a-g/--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heterodorx/support Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe

Jules Louise was same-sex attracted, but more importantly she wanted to be a Good Person and “safe space for others” — so wound up married to a man. How did that happen? In this nuanced, heartfelt, and open conversation, Jules recalls her indoctrination into an ideology which destabilized her understanding of the world and herself, and her later emergence, along with that of her husband, detransitioned autogynephile Ray Alex Williams. We discuss Social Justice Camp, the Five Isms, hormones, polyamory, crossdressing vs dressing in crosses, internalized homophobia, Marxist Feminist analysis, the importance of material reality, phenomena, reconceptualizing vulnerability, and leaving the cult of gender for the cult of Taylor Swift. Plus: Cori correctly guesses the sex of a “they,” Nina is a cruel and horrible person who will never be invited to dinner at some people’s houses, and a proposed TERF-Tranny Christmas in July!   Links:Our Ray Alex Williams episode: https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-121-unblinded-by-the-light-with-ray-alex-williams/Gender: A Wider Lens: https://www.widerlenspod.com/Phenomena: https://youtu.be/Dnk0Be4a0aw?si=n-Q4Au7QE8_i1eqyOur Jamie Reed episode: https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-126-mitigating-the-damage-with-jamie-reed/Nina’s Sex-Pozzie Memoirs: https://4w.pub/sex-pos-memoirs/The Man Who Would Be Queen by Michael Bailey (free PDF): https://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/JMichael-Bailey/TMWWBQ.pdfCaliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici: https://www.akpress.org/calibanandthewitch.htmlThe Lesbian Heresy: a Feminist Perspective by Sheila Jeffreys: https://sheila-jeffreys.com/book/the-lesbian-heresy-a-feminist-perspective/For more information about RISE on The Land for WOMEN, email Char at riseontheland2020s@gmail.com--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heterodorx/support Get full access to Heterodorx Podcast at heterodorx.substack.com/subscribe

Cori and Nina visit Saint Mary-of-the-Woods and witness several miracles, including light tailwinds both directions of Nina's 168-mile bike trip, not having to play Spirit Island, and an epiphany or two while praying the rosary. Will Cori minister to the trannies? Is Nina distinguishable from a Sister of Providence? Have you heard the Good News about Reality? An impromptu recording we just made while catching up this afternoon.
