Great discussion. Hopefully academia might still be saved.

I wish to point out that that there are variations to all this. DEI can also be REDI (Race, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) and the one I am seeing in my work as DI. The literature is all crowned with Diversity and Inclusion in the headers, but once you get into the body of each section the word equity is right there. It is all The Rebranding. Their political movement have been called out causing negative attention to it. Time to lay low, rebrand and comeback with new slogans and focus.

To be logical, we have to split the difference between Hicks’s critique of postmodernism and relativism, because the latter is also scientific: see theory of relativity, uncertainty principle. I’m tall and it took me to age 24 to realize short people see a different world. That being said, we still share 80 or 90 or 99% of reality (depending on how you categorize it) , obviating a lot of identity issues. Basically we have to learn to integrate the extreme individualism of the postmodern person, now reestablished in their old-fashioned tribal group, with the broad reality of today’s society, which is massively augmented by cities, communication and social media.

It is a little ironic that Hicks has a portrait of Nietzsche behind him while calling out skepticism, anti-reason and anti-science.

[@alirezaone]

Assuming the picture behind Hicks is a portrait of Nietzsche, how did you conclude that he agreed with Nietzsche’s views in general? I believe reading his books about Nietzsche’s views will give you a better understanding of Hicks opinion on Nietzsche.

[@kaiterenless1888]

That's not a portrait of Nietzsche. The painting is Caspar David Friedrich's "Wanderer above the sea of fog" and the figure is unnamed and allegorical. It has been theorized the model for the wanderer was Von Brincken, a colonel who served in King Wilhelm's war against the French.

[@thenowchurch6419]

@@kaiterenless1888 Thank you. I will look into that. I have seen several people, including well educated ones saying that it is a portrait of Nietzsche.

[@thenowchurch6419]

@@alirezaone Firstly, I have just been corrected and have learned that it is not in fact Nietzsche but has been associated with his philosophy by many. The fact that Hicks chose to feature that behind him may or may not have significance. I do assume though that he knows it is associated with the mad philosopher. I do not think it is a stretch to assume that Hicks admires some if not a lot of Nietzsche's views. So it still appears as irony to me. Hicks is either lacking awareness or he knows that the views he expresses here are contrary to many of Nietzsche's.

I’ve always seen the similarities between religious beliefs and the woke. It’s funny how the parallels are pointed out by using the word ‘religion’ here.

[@w1cked001]

Its a religion, with dogma “original sin” as “white privileged”, catechisms like “trans women are women” yadayada

DEI and also be division, delusional, intolerance?
