The Intersectional Crackup with Douglas Murray (Ep.20)

Today's guest is Douglas Murray. Douglas is a best-selling author, journalist, and political commentator. He's also an associate editor at the British magazine, The Spectator.
Douglas and I had a wide-ranging conversation about the rise of intersectionality and its consequences for society as a whole. I really enjoyed this one and I hope you do too.
Please note, during the first 2 minutes of the episode, there is a slight audio glitch.

Never disagreed with a single word Douglas has written or uttered. His books identify the attack on free thinking by the woke fraternity and islamisation and its repression of individual freedom . He offers little in the way of solutions his suggestion of “running a mile” from wokery does not deal with the infiltration and protecting Christendom by another battle of Vienna is not an optiom. I like to hear his thought on the rise of China

THANK YOU for talking about "good" & "bad" writing. I am an high school art teacher and I can tell you that so many students at the high school level have difficulty constructing a clear and understandable SENTENCE, let alone a clear and understandable paragraph or essay. And what horrifies me is that there are actually educators who are calling for teachers to stop correcting students' grammar, vocabulary, spelling and punctuation in their written work. My obvious question is, how will students learn to write in order to be understood if teachers do not correct student writing???

[@AspasiaB]

I ran into this ridiculousness as a writing tutor at the university level. The directors of our writing center instructed us to be "gentle" in our corrections and frame them more as suggestions than factual corrections. It was infuriating. But a doctoral student privately hired me as his tutor for three years because he appreciated by direct manner in correcting his grammar.

Wonderful conversation. I lean left politically but have deep respect for Douglas Murray's thinking.

[@bnjmnwst]

@Dusk Hollow I've always called & considered myself conservative, but I also always thought the core of conservatism was common sense. Unfortunately, all of these terms have varying meanings to different people. I've come to the conclusion that the best thing to do is to dispense with such terms, which are meant to convey much more meaning than the bare words, themselves, & simply deal in issues, whether we agree that an issue is actually an issue, how big an issue it is, & how we might solve it. When the terms we use don't mean the same things to us, such as "conservative" & "common sense," perhaps we should set them aside. They've lost their usefulness, maybe. The alternative is to agree upon definitions for them.

[@Andy-wy7vk]

Im center left but traditional not posmodern. I love Murray

[@AMikeStein]

@@bnjmnwst I really like this comment. I think that this is exactly what needs to happen to make any progress in anything. As long as people blindly identify these terms they automatically keep themselves from meeting in the middle to do anything constructive. It’s the whole I’m over here and you’re over there and there is no middle ground.

@@TheAnniegoo I usually find it an indicator that the person is putting some thought behind the idea put forward, which tells me they rely on evidence to at least a degree.

[@ericroberts3949]

The noise gate threshold is way too high. Voices cut out too quickly at the end of statements and too slow to open when talking starts. Especially with a guest who uses space in his speaking, when he pauses it sounds like he's done talking.

[@TheClassicWorld]

Is that a style? I think Sam Harris' podcast is a bit like that, too (or used to be). Maybe he needs to hire a pro to fix it, or is it to fix any white noise issues from the background, so he has to mess around with the settings to just pick up the voices (which would indicate that he needs better soundproofing or something)?

[@paramidge8935]

This is the most thoughtful and successful of Murray's interviews/discussions I have listened to, to date. Our current cultural impasse stems from a particular crisis in liberal capitalist culture, to some extent spurred by an intentional, neocon misreading of Fukayama's observations on 'the end of history' and partially from the same political misreading of Ferayerbend's observation, 'anything goes'. These wilful misreadings serve the naturalisation of a globalised, so called 'free market' very neatly. Commensurate with this politically motivated reduction of the necessary and inevitable, epistemological juncture of a 'postmodern deconstruction' to a relativistic re-inscription of binary terms, the so called 'woke' generation have rather lazily, filled the vacuum in stable notions of (religious, ideological, nationalistic) identity, with their own intentional misreading and reduction of the idea of 'intersectionality' (c.f Crenshaw - before Butler) and in so doing have set up a chimera - all display and bluster - that has set the real goals of a philosophy of 'differance' (sic. cf Derrida) back by several decades. The world we currently live in has descended into a 'dark ages' characterised by an unbridled technological diffusion of a new babel of mumbo-jumbo - the pseudo religious and pseudo scientific rantings of a putative (though anachronistic) 'right' and 'left', which leaves us emotionally clinging to our security blanket of choice. Meanwhile, any serious investigation and attempt to 'reconstruct' a workable and sustainable world view is constantly interrupted and elided by all this paranoid, narcissistic and vicious bickering. Which facet of humanity always gains (in terms of power) from these wilful, cultural interventions of 'divide and rule', historically? Murray seems to genuinely struggle with this question here. I would like to see him pay even closer attention to the structures of our current socio-economic arrangements. He has a fatal flaw, it seems to me, in that he passes over the responsibilities and machinations of the real economic elites in constructing or at very least, steering our current malaise. Maybe this is a reflection of his 'habitus' (c.f Boudieu), having grown up in a Catholic school and then Eton and Oxford, he is perhaps, stoically inclined to "render up to Caesar that which is [unproblematically] Caesars'. I would ask him to rather, question, if not everything, then certainly 'the elephant in the room'. I have no doubt that he is capable of doing this, although he might have to get to grips with some of those 'difficult' books (I too, would 'rather read Rilke' and value poetry, performance and music above dry theory but also draw on a broad school of philosophy to help keep abreast of the philosophical challenges facing the species) and look forward to even more erudition on his part. The wise man dismisses nothing.

[@johnbuckner2828]

Tim Pool gave a definition of "systemic racism" a couple of days ago; he believes that systemic racism just means that we had past race based policies (i.e. Jim Crow laws) and practices (redlining) built into the system which still negatively effect specific races today.... whereas "institutional racism" were the actual policies and practices. If a problem still exists ((i.e. generational wealth transfer), this is the most sensible way of looking at it that I've heard. "The paradox of a racist society without racists" that the woke cult seem to be pushing on us without any coherent clarification needs to stop; and so does their racist path to redemption and salvation.

[@emilyk.5664]

James Lindsay has an accurate interpretation of the made-up term "systemic racism." He wrote an article called "Why nobody is systemically racist" and it's on newdiscourses.com. I recommend! "Why Nobody is Systemically Racist - New Discourses" newdiscourses.com/2020/07/nobody-systemically-racist/

[@johnbuckner2828]

@@emilyk.5664 that article looks interesting, and a bit scary; I'll have to read the rest later, but if BLM is founded on a doctrine that "white people" are an entity which must be oppressed, even violently, for black people to be liberated, then I can only predict that racism is going to get a lot worse if their movement continues to gain traction.

This is my first listen to Coleman and i like him. Like Douglas he's clearly gone to the original sources, read and understood them; he cites reading Kendi and Judith Butler in this video. I prefer it when hosts of these things have actually read the stuff they're complaining about rather than just relying on secondary sources; makes it feel more authentic. I also appreciate in the beginning where Coleman is squaring his intuition and experiences with the conservative approach about filling a "religion shaped hole" in everyone's heart. If you don't believe in god that shape is going to be hard to fill and than what? Much to ponder. Douglas is sublime as usual; but we all know that!

Great discussion! The segment about the current cadre of arrogant “presentist” theorists early in the discussion reminded me of two quotes. One political, one biblical. Both out of context, but maybe applicable to the conversation. “If we open a quarrel between the past and the present we shall find that we have lost the future.” - Churchill “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” Malachi 4:6 To loosely paraphrase: Can we please hold our fore-bearers justly accountable for their faults in the context of their time, but also humbly express a measure of gratitude for the extraordinary legacy they have left us?

[@stevewallace6100]

Purpose in life is not only to reconcile ourselves but, as King Benjamin said, ""When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God." This is to see life outside of ourselves and learn to assist others in this journey of mortality. Part of the reality of life is that is it is temporary. When we talk about history, maybe we should expand the conversation to go beyond the known history of our civilization and cultures before records were kept. Men are born without memory, but have a built in conscience. Learning and understanding where we came from (before mortality), why we are here, and where we go when this life is over. The universe is much bigger than our view from this tiny planet we call earth. Generations before us had ideas of a higher power, but today, many think that man has all power. There are unknown mysteries that we have not began to unlock. What are the connections between our brains, thoughts, hearts, & feelings? We only have our own perspectives (views) and everyone is different because of knowledge and experiences. Intellect, facts, and truth are all worthy parts of purpose, but we cannot expect to fully understand the world by intellect alone. Ancestors throughout time have worked to understand man's place in the universe. It is alright that we don't know everything. Let’s all bring faith and belief in the unknown and in God back into the conversation.

I really like Douglas and the stuff he stands for but not only that the way in which he presents himself. Having said that the past four years we’ve seen many people such as Dave Rubin Jordan Peterson Sam Harris and others discussing these topics but it feels like nothing has changed but clearly gotten worse. At what point do we stop repeating these same discussions that seem to not really address a solution for the problem? I’m not saying it’s up to these men or that they are personally responsible to fix it it’s up to all of us but that’s my point is while I’ll probably agree with everything in this video but I’m just wondering what the end game is here? I don’t know just thinking out loud I hope everyone in the comments is doing well.

[@scentedlove2537]

What a wonderful conversation.

[@SandmanCater]

Id like to add to the part on why people are drawn to the ideologies of systemic oppression. I think it also should be added that people may be drawn to it because of lack of responsibility and lack of being able to take responsibility for ones own situation and ones own mental fortitude. It is easier to blame your failings on an outside force oppressing your growth than to take initiative or, in the case of failure, to accept that you have not tried hard enough. As a psychology student I see this kind of thinking in the waves of people who are self diagnosing with depression and anxiety or whatever else. They are making those things part of their identity so that they do not have to face dealing with them, and they expect people to be understanding and accepting of their flaws they refuse to work on because they are being oppressed by a force out of their control. I think what you guys touched on was correct and my idea is certainly not all encompassing, but I definitely see it accounting for a percentage of people who fall into the tribe of people discussed.
