Summary
How did concepts like Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) move from fringe academic circles into our schools, corporations, and government? In this powerful episode of Keeping It Real, Jillian Michaels sits down with mathematician, author, and founder of New Discourses, Dr. James Lindsay. Co-author of Cynical Theories and mastermind behind the famous Grievance Studies Affair, James breaks down the 175-year evolution of left-wing political philosophy—from Karl Marx and Western Marxism to Postmodernism and modern identity politics. Together, they explore how identity politics are used to dismantle objective truth, how "gain of function" ideological tactics target the education system, and what everyday citizens can do to reclaim institutions, protect their minds, and safeguard Western values.
