“a wholesale war against reason and the idea of truth.”

To me this is the most dangerous virus destroying our society. The twin pillars of western society have always been Biblical truth for morality and scientific truth for nature.

The worst part is this extends just as much to the right as the left. No public figure argues for moral principles by quoting scripture. The anti-vax movement has found fertile ground among supposed conservatives after escaping from its home in the Green Party.

When it comes to idea pathogens, I think what they all share is the desire to be freed from the shackles of reality. In that sense, it's a complete attack on your sense making and folk knowledge. You’re rejecting knowledge that is as clear as the existence of gravity. There are no such things as male or female. You are not shackled by your genitalia. Your child could have been the next Michael Jordan had he been socialized properly. There are no innate biological differences, for these people; so, it's a real rejection of truth because postmodernism rejects that there is objective truth. I call it intellectual terrorism, because in the same way that the 9/11 hijackers flew planes into our buildings, so postmodernism flies planes of BS into the edifices of reason.

This is a brilliant observation. It is absolutely true that “wokeness” in all its multiple forms completely rejects objective reality and truth. Bring back reality!

idea pathogens are rooted in the ethical relativism of postmodernism, which denies the existence of an objective reality. \\

Bingo!

For fun, ask a leftist academic post modernist

post modernist

Modern ?, hardly.

POST modernists ?,, ya sure.

Lovers of themselves, pleasure seeking, deceiving and being deceived, disrespectful of authority, haters of what is good....sounds like Biblical predictions coming into play..

I do wonder however..how does one become an evolutionary psychologist....are there MMPI studies or a DSM 1 manual for Neanderthals or homo habilis or h. erectus or australopithecus aferensis? Is he board certified to counsel random bones unearthed serendipitously every so often?
