Bret Weinstein's New Podcast. Bret has a weekly livestream with his wife, Dr. Heather Heying. He also produces many standalone episodes, some of which can be viewed below.

Post social justice warriors

The social justice warrior has gone from a noble figure to something of a Facebook comment section joke. The idea of people taking on social justice and being a warrior for it was at one time trendy and cool. Now SJWs are shorthand not only for the phrase but also for the new crop of crazy leftists.

American meritocracy

I want to riff on meritocracy for a moment. The IDW is not in favor of much of the social changes that have happened. The desire to return to society’s common-sense view is compelling for those that don’t need radical changes.

Millennial economics and too easy lives

Economically, younger workers are not putting up with the same things their parents did. They expect “too much” from their employers and endless accommodation from their places of work for things like anxiety. These precocious kids aren’t afraid to say no, I won’t do that.

My thoughts on the Dark Horse Podcast and the IDW

Bret and Heather mean well. I often find myself nodding along with much of what they say; however, when it comes to their quiet crusade against “woke” culture and social justice warriors, I find myself returning to the same question I had before.
