The Reformers is AVAILABLE NOW - shorturl.at/fkvR7

German here. We are quickly becoming infected with this virus and desperately need this quality of documentaries in German. Keep up the Good work ✊

Michael, your art has been a tremendous addition to the world in aiding free speech and exposing broken ideologies. Thank you and all your colleagues for making the world a better place and opening minds.

Support this man! Critical thinking mixed with authenticity, without losing the importance of having an empathic vision.

I enjoyed watching the gang laugh at the responses to their papers. It's such a heavy time in the world and in the culture war. It's nice that somebody is having fun with this.

Unfortunately the people that need to see this video will probably never see it...

I love Helen, Pete and James for what they did and are still doing! Heroes of our time. Just preordered the book. Looking forward to devour it within a day.

An anecdote from my life if anyone is interested: I took a women's studies class during my last year in college because I wanted to learn about women since I'm a man and grew up around mostly males ...it was terrible. The whole first class was just psychoanalyzing men/masculinity and "letting the class teach the professor." There was no structure and seemingly no curriculum and not even a direction to the conversation. Everyone was taking turns talking, bouncing from one topic to the next with no continuity whatsoever, and there was absolutely no room for challenging any of these ideas. Luckily I never did. I quit the class after that first experience and took acting instead, which was way better, but I found out I'm no good at acting haha. Luckily the other classes I took (CS, economics, anthropology, and even acting) were pretty insulated from the postmodernism that infected this class so I think there's still hope for continuing the pursuit of objective truth. But this was a few years ago so things may well have changed since then.

Mike, I think your work with James A. Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, and Helen Pluckrose will be very much needed by the whole world because anything to do with contemporary culture in the West generally spreads out to around the world (maybe manifesting in different types of social issues, like for instance here in Indonesia this has pretty much corrupted social studies, feminism, and especially religion). The whole world must be more informed about this thing. Thank you for doing this.

No one expects the Kindly Inquisition!

these guys are rockstars and my personal heroes

You're doing great work, keep it up.

You're putting out consistent high quality work, Mike! Thank you!

When is the completed full-length documentary coming out?

The Kindly Ones in Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic book series were the Fates who determined who lived and who died. The Kindly Inquisition sounds like the same thing.

2+ years later this is still hilarious. Terrifying and real as I live in Washington state where Evergreen is located, but hilarious

Wow the intro scene for this is just brilliantly shot and edited.

People pay a lot of money to join a religion in college.

On a thread about JK Rowling's current transgression, I kid you not, I saw two people discussing how the werewolves in Harry Potter were an allegory for Rowling's transphobia, using overly intellectual language. I should have taken a screenshot. The west has definitely slipped off its axis.

James is so cute, and the work he, Peter, and Helen are doing is just outstanding.

Thank you for doing everything you're doing to bring attention to this insanity. I regret not fighting against these bad ideas harder when I first encountered them in art school nearly 20 years ago.

Awesome little piece of filmmaking. Commenting to boost the algorithm and hopefully get it some traction.

“Everyone wants that dream shot” = top class bonus content

Hilarious. As a microbiologist/physicist i feel your pain and love your humor.

Another great piece Mike. Thanks for all you do! You are just as much a hero as Bret, Heather, Eric, Jordan, Dave, Sam, Pete, Jim, & Helen as far as I'm concerned! keep making these powerful video's!

Mike Nayna, you need to add another chapter to the Evergreen documentary covering the recent protests in Seattle. Brett Weinstein’s words were practically prophetic about the breakdown of civilization. Then take all of those parts and cut them into a feature length documentary. Put it on Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, wherever people can see it.

Great editing!! Great video, as usual, Mr. Nayna - I always enjoy work work. very thorough. Its appreciated.

This is amazing. Please dont back down of this proyect and go all the way till the end

This was a beautiful summary of the work done so far. Thank you!

I took an English class last semester, and the first assignment was to read a piece of literature that included a quote that for the decolonizing of literary history and question the hegemony of Western schemas, from the macronarratives of civilization and capitalism, to such privileged languages as greek, latin, french, and german, and called to cease to assume the existence of something called literature. There was also a quote by Jean Paul Sartre criticizing Western thought that it always thematized the other as a threat to be reduced, and another part suggested we should interrogate and contest process of power by which literature in named, taught, canonized, and defined. This piece of literature got under my skin, so I tried to get my arguments in order in an essay and pointed out some contradictions of the paper, and clarified I wasn't implicitly arguing for censorship, I was questioning why it was being taught especially not under a critical lens. The day after I gave it to the instructor, the instructor talked with me in their office and suggested I put away my fangs and not be so critical in their class. Was this the right strategy? Should I have had a verbal discussion during the class, or just get a good grade, or contact someone else in the english department, or do what I did and write my arguments for the instructor?

I don’t get how you don’t have more subscribers.

I now have more insight to watch happened to me at college. Being dyslexic, I didn't do too well at school, scraped thru my Humanities degree around 30, but never had the English, so went back just to do that. I sat next to a black guy in my class, we got on great, but the table behind us, she even physically attacked me in a class, yet because her skin was darker than mine, I was excluded for being racist & put before a panel. My teacher knew I wasn't racist, the guy I sat with knew I wasn't racist, when the trial started, & I said I'd done my degree in race & racism & my job was promoting mostly black artists & djs, one woman on the panel thru down her pen exasperated at the whole show trial, my guess is she didn't last long. I was grilled & still expelled. This was over a decade ago, in London, now I know why x

The ending with the bball shot 👌🏼👌🏼😂

Thank you for doing this necessary work!!!

Thank you for documenting this stuff

If this is ‘becoming’ a documentary it needs more than talking heads. It needs visuals of campuses, students protesting, graphics showing the spread, voice overs defining (honestly & without bias) to CRT etc...

Very nice, love the kinetic energy of this revision. Maybe include more backing tracks throughout the rest?

The Kindly Inquisition, what a show.

Great video. Thank you Mike!

Love ya work Mike! Keep at it!

PETER LAUGHS LIKE I DO. Finally a WHEEZING INTELLECTUAL!

Way to go Mike! Been watching your videos since the Evergreen story. Stay hard and Godspeed.

This is like an academic level or what South Park is I love it.

This movement is like a buying a Lamborghini only to find a malfunctioning Suzuki engine stuck in reverse under the hood

Thanks for making these films Mike, we need you guys more than ever! You're our last hope

Great stuff, Mike, thanks.

Great to see how this story has evolved through the lens of your camera Mike. The importance of this pedagogical approach you have employed in your semiotic narrative cannot be understated given the extent to which you expose the problematic performativities of the oppressive intelligentsia. I'm pretty sure a few of those scenes were shot with all natural light too...

the dog park bit is hilarious

Mike, your videos are an invaluable service to humanity, thank you! The false accusations/kangaroo court element here has particular resonance for me: my dad, an academic in Australia, challenged his faculty’s orthodoxy in a slightly less humorous way and was hit with an absurdly unsubstantiated accusation of misappropriating others’ research, a very serious charge. By the way, you gave an excellent account of yourself in Brett Weinstein’s Dark Horse podcast, I think you should spend more time on camera too!

This was great, thnx for posting

Will you convert? No no no nooooo Will you confess? No no no Nooooo Will you revert? No no no nooooo Will you say yes? No no no nooooo

Splendidity!

Bittereinder at the end, nice!

Love the editing choices, pace is great - what's the song at the end?

Nice work man!

Well done Mike. Heard you on Triggernometry the other day. But was already aware coz of your Evergreen connection.

I love whenever you start asking questions in your videos. It's great hearing you try to wrap your head around this stuff that's such bullshit.

As I was listening to James talk about the crap that the diversity dept.'s put academics through who step out of line with the ideologues, the false charges of beatings, rape, etc. in particular, and the effect that's had on scholarship, my mind drifted to what was done to judges Kavanaugh and Thomas in their confirmation hearings. It was the same thing. This game has been played for a long, long time. It's just that a lot of people haven't realized it. A lot of people still don't realize it. The reason this game is being played is because it tends to work REALLY well for people who want to protect an area of work against criticism, and possible shootdowns that would completely discredit it. Even if people make it through the process, and are exonerated, the scathing, expensive besmirching of character still stands as an example to the less courageous, which is turning out to be a lot of people, to keep their heads down, and not poke that bear, because they don't want to deal with that.

I love how Amazon sells this book and the White Fragility book too. It's just pure capitalism

Evergreen is the perfect case study for how social justice ends

Subbed and will share. Thx.

18:09 From Bret Weinstein. Based. "This is about a breakdown in the basic logic of civilization, and it"s spreading"..."It actually does jeopardize the ability of civilization to continue to function."

That cut to the Rogan laugh at 5:34 killed me.

Please share this video as much as possible to show the world how corrupted is this "new" feminist movement

These scholars give new meaning to “Quality Control” in the Publishing industry as well as Institutions of Higher Learning.

You guys are so cute -- giggling like little kids over your trick! Just a delight to watch.

This is very funny Mike!!! The one thing I’d say is the sound is very low when there is anything than Joe and James talking!!

So its the Sokal affair 2020 version. You would think the social sciences crowd would have learn something.

“If you criticize critical race theory you’re a racist” - The Emperors New Clothes in real life.

bro keep up the good work, your channel is severely undersubscribed

Excellent

No offense, but we needed this 20 years ago. The war has already been lost.

Like he said - everything is Evergreen now!

Keep it up!

Nice man spreading there, James 😂

love James. and he has great taste in shoes! Samba Millenniums are timeless

Diversity offices promote struggle sessions.

James rocking the Zelda shirt. I wish I knew people like him in real life.

The Sacred Triangle, the balance weighing the three Forces: Power, Wisdom and Courage, does not discriminate. Whomsoever may wield this Triforce - whether he be Good or Evil - may not be conquered. Plus on tee shirts it is definitely too cool for school.

James caught man spreading at the start of this video! :) lol

hope the documentary comes out soon

Man, these Mad Lads look like they had so much fun 😂 Normally I dislike people punching down, and it's quite clear that this lot are leagues and leagues above their 'peers', but my god. There is something so cathartic, so enjoyable, to watch them absolutely ruin these people 🤣

Dislikes are the peer reviewers

James has great taste in shoes 👌👌👌

Scary how right they were. It's everywhere now including federal government in just 2 years

Oh my god. The beat in the beginning is Bittereinder. Where did you get that?

Im waiting for this channel to blow

James Lindsay is a hero. He's selflessly jeopardizing his career to fight critical theories and the dangers they represent.

Did you guys write a book about this-because it is historic!

Now I feel embarassed to be a major in geography (physical). Even though this feminism thing isn't part of our ed. We had a visiting professor (or some other educator) from the states for a year or two, he was so confused that our unis geography department didn't teach or study feminist geography. We were confused of hes confusion. I don't think that any geography department studys or teaches fem geo in a major way on my country.

It is ridiculous that a bunch of these supposedly academically rigorous and prestigious journals that accepted the “research” then went on to angrily castigate these guys for committing research fraud and ethics violations, rather than taking a good look at the rot in the academy.

Nice vid

Awww, the UK edition of their book isn't available for another six weeks! Anyone read it yet?

I had no idea the amazing Sarah Haider talked at an event alongside James Lindsay at the start there! For anyone else wondering where to find the full talk, it's called "Truth, Evidence, and Reason: who can we believe?". Sadly the footage available on PostTruth Initiative is of very low quality, and the audio recording has a high-pitched buzzing the entire time :(

So it started in the 80's, targeted educational institutions, sought to replace teaching with useless, divisive ideologies, and took a generation to come to fruition. Exactly what Yuri Bezmenov describes in the lectures on Active Measures and KGB subversion, which he described as being "first stage complete" back in the 80's. Is this actually what we are seeing? (Definitely worth watching the full lectures by the way, not just the recent Call Of Duty clip which popularized them.)

You should edit out the 41 second lead in. I would guess that some people will drop before that and this video is too good for that to happen.

I just looked up the Joe Rogan podcast #1501 and it has been scrubbed from the internet. I can't find the full show. It's disappeared...

The sound on this is a bit muffled using my usual mechanisms of listening. But very much worth the extra effort to listen to.

Me in college -->anatomy and physiology class --> students are interested to hear about the physiological differences of genders --> Prof talks about females have thicker skulls, males have larger bladders etc. --> students are fascinated and ask more --> Prof. catches himself and says, "I could get into trouble if I go on..." --> class moved onto another topic. This stuff is affecting science.

This reminds me slightly of the "Ern Malley" poems. Way back in 1944, two Australian Army public liaison officers with an interest in poetry, but no publications, wrote a series of free verses, and sent them to "Angry Penguins", a journal of new poetry that was trying to out-Eliot Eliot. They posed as the sister of one Ern Malley, a recently-deceased unpublished poet. The "poems" were strings of highly coloured stream-of-consciousness images that were not meant to make any sense, using random words. Max Harris, the editor of "Angry Penguins", thought they were brilliant, and immediately published them with glowing reviews. Other pundits took up the cry. For a while, literary circles were abuzz with the discovery of this new genius, dead so tragically young. When the imposition came to light, Harris and the literati were briefly embarrassed. Non-literary types had a good laugh. But gradually the establishment closed ranks. The "Angry Penguin" poems were admitted to the canon. The authors might have _thought_ that they were ridiculous; they might have intended satire; but what they had inadvertently produced was brilliant. It was testimony, said the neo-modernists, to the bad effects of attempting structured verse. Here were mere hacks who were only capable of works of genius when they consciously and deliberately abandoned all restraint, including the boring convention that the result actually make sense. Maybe these "papers" will get the same treatment. I'd look out for op-ed pieces that inform the faithful that although the whole thing, dogs, genitals, behaviour, questions, answers and all, is completely fabricated, the conclusions are a truth, and as valid as any set of "observations". But more likely, the _affaire_ will simply be ignored. Or that will be the attempt. It must not succeed.
