The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 158 Enough is enough. While there is much need for purposed action around the world to set our countries to right, we are rapidly realizing we’ve had enough radicalism. But radicalism, often in answer to radicalism, is still rapidly on the rise. These facts raise an important question: What is the road away from radicalization? How do we deradicalize generations? An answer can be found in the religious spirit cultivated by the Christian and Jewish faiths, whether one is religious or not. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads from the

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 156 How in the world did people become Nazis? How could it have happened? These are questions we grew up with and, maybe, always hoped against hope we wouldn’t be able to answer. There’s a comfort in them remaining mysterious, but in that comfort we’re vulnerable. How can we possibly make good on “Never Again” if we do not know how it happened? Sadly, today we’re threatened with the same menace. Sadly, today, we’re learning not how it could have happened, but exactly how it happened because it’s happening again around us. More and more of us know, with our stomachs

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 111 In the fight against the Woke, there is so much to be done. Luckily, there are also many hands eager to help in the work.

Nothing could be further from the truth! In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, I, James Lindsay as your host share an important message about how everyone, no matter how small they feel against the global threat we all face, can make

The EVILution of Communism Workshop, Session 4 Communism is a religious view that has evolved and adapted over the last two centuries, including right up to the present day. Understanding the developments and threats in our present world requires understanding what Communism really is, especially in its Marxist variants, and how it has developed and changed over the years. In response to this need, James Lindsay of New Discourses held a four-lecture workshop series on the EVILution of Communism in Dallas, Texas, at the start of August 2024. In this fourth and final lecture in the series, Lindsay picks up the loose threads from the previous two lectures and weaves

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 151 What is “Woke“? What is its relationship to “Social Justice”? Why did so many people explain Woke as “Critical Social Justice” for several years? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you into the book that first opened his eyes to what “Woke” really is: Ozlem Sensoy and Robin DiAngelo’s Is Everyone Really Equal? (first edition). This book could truly serve as an eye-opening “Woke for Dummies” guide to where Woke comes from, what it really means by “Social Justice,” and how it thinks about the world. It, like all Woke books, is also a Woke grimoire, drawing

This is an essay written on June 4, 2018 when I was the director for the Center for Applied Cultural Evolution I am reposting it as part of the original 3-part series from that time. Find Part 1 here and Part 3 here.Last week I published a 10-page essay arguing that my own life’s work cannot possibly succeed — in the hope that it would be taken up as a “grand challenge” for others to prove wrong. Astute readers will note the hidden pathway that resolves this seeming paradox. For the only way to prove me wrong is to actually build a rigorous

Making the Move to Meta-Modern Monetary TheoryIn this trilogy of articles (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), I interpolate Tomas Bjorkman’s magnum opus The World We Create: From God to Market, which is designed to awaken us to our own social constructions and develop a more conscious society based on evolutionary and complexity thinking, and ultimately reimagine monetary relations. I reviewed some broader themes of his book and the implications of the movement in an article titled The World We’re Creating (2018), which I followed up with The World That’s Emerging (2020). This is a process that invites our network as
