      Here Kraus platforms Heather Mac Donald a right wing nut who advocate stop and frisk of minorities, argued that Donald Trump is not racist , his critics are, went on the late Limpblob show to argue that Obama was destroying America with his racism , that food stamps cause an un healthy dependence ,because you know going hungry builds chacactor. Of course she also opposed any form of minimum wage. Mac Donald has called COVID an un justified panic. She supports torture and the patriot act. And so on. Of course this is all cry baby nonsense about identity politics , because you know this is the real problem in America That Krauss would treat this nut as someone worth talking to must be a desperate effort to get someone to watch his podcast, figuring that courting the right is where you find the green.

    Dr. Krauss leads by example... the example of inclusion. No one appreciates being palliated or condescended to, and Lawrence's ability to walk the thin line of fair representation is a joy to both view and learn from. He genuinely offers the same courtesy that it appears he himself favors. I did not come away from listening to this discussion interpreting Ms. Mac Donald's stance as particularly "conservative" (as was eluded to beforehand), rather that of a "realist." Hoping she is invited to participate in an even larger dynamic of a discussion panel... having zero to do with the fact that she is female. Incidentally, Professor Alice Roberts pops to mind as well, as a complementary future contributor. Thank you both.

      Except that this is not what is happening. I am a college professor and today it is the right-wing that gets upset when the facts of a topic don't support their ideology. In 35 years, I have never heard from "wokesters." The only complaints come from those who are extremely religious or, in recent years, those that advocate fascist ideology. Just being objective isn't enough. The ideology police are out there and "nothing" is OK unless it actively supports their particular ideology... facts be damned.

I am politically liberal, and my efforts to engage with my colleagues on this problem were met with naked bigotry, righteous misandry, and vicious denunciation-- the Woke love to devour their own.
      I don't know your situation, but I wonder if your view is not blinkered, or motivated by an antipathy toward the right which is affecting your assessment. It is quite common knowledge that the Woke are radically intolerant of challenges to their own revanchist ideology; academia is littered with their casualties, among them many outspoken leftists such as myself.
      I recommend to your attention Lionel Shriver, Brett Weinstein and Heather Heying, Helen Pluckrose, James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, Michael Rectenwald, Glenn Loury and John McWhorter, Jonathan Haidt and Meghan Daum for more expansive consideration-- most of them very liberal if that makes it more palatable.

      honestly in my experience (moscow university) during the first year i very quickly learnt that out of 10 times i'm "skeptical" of what a professor tells me, literally 10 times means that i understood something wrong.
      so you very quickly learn to be humble and that you're surrounded by people vastly smarter than you are, and before getting "skeptical" about anything, you need your full effort and attention to absorb the enormous amount of information that you can learn from them.
      so when it comes to hard sciences, whenever something "feels wrong", it's literally 99.99% your understanding that's wrong.

    What a great conversation! I have been following Mrs. Mac Donald's videos for a short time now. But what a great voice for reason. It is so great to see that youtube offers videos with educated intellectual speakers. If I watch one more video of so-called comedians giving their commentary on political issues I will scream. If you want to see a comedy show watch Netflix or any of the other numerous streaming services. What is happening in our culture is not a joke. It needs to be addressed by intelligent people with analytical minds. You will not get an objective opinion from Fox television or CNN. They are the Jerry Springers of this generation. The more shocking the better the ratings. Truth be damned. Not all of us have drunk the political kool-aid. I have no intention of picking a side just to appease our culture's cult-like party system. We should take a lesson from science and let logic prevail. Facts and statistics are the only way to bring our society back to a state of sanity and reason. I applaud both Mrs. Mac Donald and Mr. Krauss. I hope more scholars wake up and speak the truth.

    As a 59 Yr old leftist from the u.k. I still remember my youth, as an activist, and the rhetoric we would hear from politically active University and college tutors. I quickly came to realise the amount of bullshit they spewed out. Anyone with any political reality can tell you the working class is conservative with a small c and anyone with any economic sense can tell you that sensible capitalism has improved the lot of the working class. When you start from that basis you shouldn't go wrong politically and economically unless you are corrupt or just plain dumb. In the same way the far left follow out of date dogma so does far right conservatism. That boring, middle of the road, post ww2 , pro Keynes economic system was the highlight of 20th century until it changed in the late 70's early eighties. This has led to the madness on college campuses and political division were no common ground can be found

    I was in North Philly earlier today working with a customer. He told me that when he was in the military it was great because their was a real sense of brotherhood. Then he came back home to a war zone. Him and his wife moved from Wissahickon which they thought was safe to Upper North Philly which they were told that it was safer. They were constantly dealing with shootings in Wissahickon, and then they moved to Upper North Philly, and they were dealing with shootings and robberies in the neighborhood too. He didn't blame the problem on White Supremacy or Patriarchy, he said the problem is a lack of community, and a lack of brotherhood among men like there was in the core. Sociopathy as the norm is the problem in society and it isn't being addressed.

I'm so thankful that I attended university in the early 1980s, and I'm even more thankful that I won't be around to witness the final collapse of Western Civilization (in about 25 years). We had a good run. Maybe one day, future historians will look back at us in wonder.

    As a Nigerian-immigrant currently working and schooling in North America, I have come to one conclusion: Social Justice, wokeness and progressivism can ONLY exist in a developed, liberal and first-world nation/region where there are very few existential threats and where the purposeless masses in urban areas have to create some form of ideology to fill the void in their lives. That is why it makes no sense and destroys that society. That is also why rural westerners, non-western countries and immigrants mostly tend to hate social justice and wokeness more than the native citizens.

    When it comes to gender identity, it is a fact male dominance was the default preference when it came to roles of authority from a not too distant past. It is also a fact society, at large, is recognizing a problem with that. It’s also a fact that transitions are not usually regarded as graceful experiences but rather clumsy and difficult.

    Its interesting that they come at this conversation from their disciplinary backgrounds. Hers emphasizes knowledge and cultural transmission while his is knowledge creation. Her sense of urgency/alarm is because her fields are much more easily targeted and threatened. He has a hard time getting it at times.
    And the size and cancerous growth of the DEI bureaucracy is absolutely insane. Then when one recognizes that they need to justify their existence and have an immediate and non-falsifiable response to any criticism ("you're a -phobe, -ist, bigot," etc) a light bulb goes off. What a monstrous problem.
