Illegitimate Scholar
Our culture is in crisis and I don’t trust woke universities and authoritarian governments to give us the solution. I examine modern culture through history and anthropology, as well as other sources like indigenous knowledge and common sense. This is a show for those who love academics but hate academia, and want to learn about social studies without the constraining limits of woke universities.

005 - How does Gender serve Culture?
I discuss a few genders from other cultures and how they differ from how we view gender in 2022 America. Then I discuss Matt Walsh's documentary, "What is a Woman?" and how it relates to our views of gender in the contemporary West. I end with discussing the difference in ideas of transgenderism and gender in the West and what this might mean for the future.As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchasesAudible AUDIOBOOKS, free trial:https://amzn.to/3TJOARA Reach me on Discord,https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjAudio Podcast:https://pod.link/1650280020#podcast #gender #anthropologyofgender #genderhistory #culture #videopodcast #history #whatisawoman #dailywire #anthropology #culturalanthropology #historyfacts #historical #antiwoke #woke #illegitimatescholar #libertarian #freedom #politics #cultural #commentary #conservative #socialstudies #socialscience #mattwalsh Discord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholar Audio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw

004 - What does it mean to lose a war?
losses in war are on a spectrum. I discuss a few different wars and what the loss meant for the nation losing the war, then contemplate what this could mean for the future of the United States. The United States has never truly lost a war. In a real (unconditional) war loss, the defeated people are at the will of the victor. Often in history this means pillaging both people and material objects. This was the case for Germany after WWI and WWII, WWI even likely leading to WWII. Factors like this, once set in motion, act like in ways beyond the full understanding of mankind.
