Reactance
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 62
There is a psychological phenomenon called "reactance" that is triggered when someone is convinced they're likely to lose liberties and freedoms they currently enjoy. It's a powerful effect that motivates action and forces people to take a side, usually against the perceived threat to their liberty. Woke manipulators know this and use it frequently. They explain that their enemies, usually members of a free society, are "fascists" who want to "limit the rights" of some vulnerable group. The goal is to trigger activation through reactance to join up in solidarity with the threatened group. You'll notice Leftists do this all the time, by the way. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this form of activism and how it works to polarize and activate useful idiots in the Leftist base. Join him to learn what it looks like.

Dispositions on Being
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 124
What is the true nature of Being? That's one of those "big" questions that we probably cannot answer. Related to it is another huge question: how should we be disposed toward the fact of Being? That's a fundamentally religious, or even pre-religious, question, and it's important to answer. While we may not know the true nature of Being itself, of all of existence, we can say something about the mood of our relationship to it. In this philosophical episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay explores four essential dispositions toward being: the Prison of Being, the Tragedy of Being, the Comedy of Being, and the Miracle of Being. Join him to understand these views and what they mean, particularly in light of the Gnostic and Hermetic esoteric religions lurking within Woke Marxism.

The Gnostic Temptation
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 61
Why are Gnostic cults so tempting? Why do people get sucked into them? It's not because Gnostics go around telling people they're wrong. It's because they go around telling people they're limited. Your beliefs, maybe in science, spirituality, Christianity, politics, or whatever, aren't wrong; they're low-level. The Gnostics hold themselves out as people who know more about whatever you're into than you do, and they explain their superiority as being "liberated" from the limitations "THEY" (your teachers, pastors, etc.) are placing upon your knowledge. They don't want you to know these secrets, but we do. That's the Gnostic temptation. Host James Lindsay breaks it down in this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, adding an example (https://www.dignityindex.us/index) of how the current Gnostic cults are trying to frame American values as level five out of eight in human dignity.
