UnHerd's Freddie Sayers speaks to Quillette Founder and Editor, Claire Lehmann.Join Freddie Sayers on UnHerd as he sits down with Claire Lehmann, founder of Quillette, the Sydney-based magazine launched in 2015 that's become a global force for reason and free expression.With Trump powering through his first 100 days and Right-wing populism surging across the West, the free speech landscape is shifting. Are journalism and open debate now under threat from the Right? Has the Left's 'woke' orthodoxy given way to a new 'woke Right' menace? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Over the past year, right-wing parties across the West have been sweeping elections. Donald Trump in the United States, Argentina's Javier Milei, Italy's Giorgia Meloni, El Salvador's Nayib Bukele, and now Germany. On Sunday, 83 percent of Germans went to the polls—the highest turnout since the Cold War. The Christian Democrats, the country's center-right party led by Friedrich Merz, won. But that's not the big story. The big story is that the right-wing populist party, the AfD, came in second place with nearly 21 percent, the strongest showing since WWII. There is a single reason why. It's not the economy. It's not the war with Russia. It's not climate change. It's immigration. And I'm not talking about jobs or wage deflation. I'm talking about the fact that over the past decade, Germany has seen a net migration of 5 million people, with more than 1 million of the new arrivals coming from Syria and Afghanistan. And the rifts have been palpable. And here, I'm choosing two examples from just last week: An Afghan migrant suspect rammed a car through a crowd of people. Thirty-nine people, including several children, were injured. Just the day before the election, a Syrian migrant became the lead suspect for a stabbing outside of the Holocaust memorial. This all fundamentally tests the limits of assimilation and multiculturalism. The dynamic here is the same that has characterized many Western nations. The center-left and the left have ignored the problem. And the right has named it—and filled the vacuum. As Michael Sandel has put it: “Fundamentalists rush in where liberals fear to tread.” If there's a line that captures the politics of our era, it is that. Last week, the very question of whether migrants can adopt pluralism and Western ideals was also put to Australians, after two Sydney nurses went viral when caught on camera saying that they would kill Israeli patients that came into their hospital. One nurse was an Afghan refugee. Here to unpack it all is Free Press columnist Batya Ungar-Sargon, Democratic fundraising powerhouse Brianna Wu, and the founder of Quillette, Claire Lehmann.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning, Razib talks to Zoe Booth and Iona Italia. Booth is community engagement officer and Italia is managing editor at Quillette. An Australian, Booth has degrees in French, Politics and Law from the University of Newcastle. Italia is an erstwhile academic of British nationality and mixed Parsi and Scottish heritage, with a Ph.D. in English literature from Cambridge University. She is the author of Our Tango World, former editor-in-chief of Areo Magazine and the host of the Two for Tea Podcast. Razib discusses both of their trajectories into the heterodox intellectual sphere, Booth, from her starting point as a younger Millennial and Italia as a member of Generation X. While Booth recounts she had typical generational views on social justice and left-inflected politics, Italia admits despite being very left-wing most of her life she was never very well disposed to the identitarian trend that has crystallized into “woke” politics in the 2020s. Booth also addresses the reality that even if the existence of Quillette, a female-led bastion of free thought, with founding editor Claire Lehmann and now managing editor Italia might seem to suggest otherwise, it is not always easy to be a heterodox woman. Booth and Italia discuss how female personality orientation tends more toward making people feel comfortable and included rather than confrontations over truth claims that might hurt feelings. Italia and Razib also address her unique personality quirk of very high disagreeability, which might explain both her rejection of group-think and her earnest quest for the truth as she understands it. Booth and Italia talk about how the recent events around the Gaza war between Israel and Hamas, have resulted in changes in their social life due to political polarization. Overall Quillette has taken a pro-Israel position across the editorial staff, which has resulted in some blowback among their readership. Italia also talks about her own change from solidarity to the global left because of their Hamas-friendly stance, and her continued rejection of conservative social movements, including Islam. Booth and Italia also address Quillette's consistent trend of touching cultural and political third rails, but in the service of classical liberal values. Italia believes any blowback toward her and the magazine comes disproportionately from a small group of malcontents, and that broadly liberal values are much more popular than most people realize.

I got a chance to speak to Claire Lehmann – journalist and founder of Quillette magazine – at the ARC Conference in London this week. We spoke about the fallout from #MeToo, the right age to get married, the gender pay gap, tax breaks for mums, the academic response to the 7th October attacks, and much more.

Why do women post sexy selfies? And why does this behaviour anger some people? Claire Lehmann and Zoe Booth discuss the complex world of intrasexual female competition and their experiences with it, concluding that the more we know about human behaviour, the more empowered we are to make good decisions. "Slut shaming" can also be referred to as sexual shaming, sexual bullying, sexual stigmatization, or promiscuity shaming. It refers to the practice of criticizing or mocking someone, usually a woman, for their real or presumed sexual behavior, including for dressing in a sexual manner, having premarital, casual, or promiscuous sex, or for behaving in ways that deviate from traditional or socially accepted gender expectations. "Thirst trapping" is a term that originated in online and social media culture. It refers to the act of posting provocative or tantalizing images or messages on social media platforms to attract attention, particularly of a sexual or romantic nature. The intention behind a "thirst trap" is to elicit compliments, admiration, or even expressions of desire, often called "thirst," from others. While it's commonly associated with photos that emphasize physical attractiveness, a thirst trap can also be a post that highlights other desirable qualities or achievements to gain attention or admiration.

'"Woman. Noun. Adult human female,” read the sticker applied to Queensland MP Shannon Fentiman's office window. Walking past the window at the Waterford Shopping Centre in Logan, one might have assumed the sticker belonged to Fentiman. She was, until Thursday, Queensland's Minister for Women. But one would've been mistaken. “I know the sticker doesn't look like it says much, and most people will be lucky enough to be unaffected by what it says,” Fentiman wrote on her Instagram page. “But for some people in our community, these stickers represent much more – they represent a movement which discriminates against them and denies their existence.”' -------- Welcome to Episode 2!

Australian Claire Lehmann left university and founded the online magazine Quillette to counter what she saw as an orthodoxy in knowledge coming from the progressive left. Claire perceived a lack of rigor in the humanities where, it seemed to her, ideology was trumping evidence.Since its inception as a start-up in 2015, Quillette has gone on to achieve an international reputation for free speech advocacy, political commentary and journalism, appealing to as many as two million followers a month. It's become a community for people who feel they've been ostracised by a progressive left wing media that doesn't allow room for differing viewpoints. In this Spotlight episode, we explore with Claire some of the big issues facing the traditional institutions of academia and of journalism when it comes to the production of knowledge. Claire assesses the advantages of not just Quillette but of the online media landscape which has given voice to a whole range of people and diverse voices. We also probe the limitations of this world of online journalism, and ask Claire whether there's sufficient rigor to ensure that knowledge is being improved.Guest BioClaire LehmannClaire is the founder and editor in chief of Quillette. She was named among “Ten Aussies who Shook the World in Tech and Media” in 2018, and is a weekly contributor to The Australian. She co edited Panics and Persecutions: 20 Tales of Excommunication in the Digital Age which was published in 2020. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Claire Lehmann, founding editor of Quillette sits down with Rob. Claire explains the philosophy of the Quillette project in promoting Enlightenment values of reason, the use of evidence, and free thought which first arose to confront unconscious left-wing bias in psychology. She believes ideological diversity is helpful in any search for truth because everyone has blind spots. Rob and Claire discuss the nature and dangers of tribalism in thought. She believes that while liberalism is not under threat in Australia there is the danger of importing populist movements of both left and right from the US.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to his friend Claire Lehmann, founder and editor-in-chief of Quillette magazine, and columnist for The Australian. Though Lehmann's initial public prominence involved her key role in the “intellectual dark web,” publishing thinkers critical of identity politics like Coleman Hughes, John Wood Jr. and John McWhorter, Razib was especially interested in the fact that over the last few years she has gotten involved in various online discussions centered around cultural differences between her home nation of Australia, and the US, where the majority of Quillette's readers live. Razib draws Lehmann out about the fact that few Americans grasp what different views  Australians usually hold about the balance between values of liberty and equality. This gap has resulted in several clashes online fueled more by ignorance than disagreement. Lehmann also discusses the disintegration of the intellectual dark web itself, and the future directions that Quillette will take. She notes that one of the major fissures between her own views and those of many intellectual dark web luminaries is that many of them, like Bret Weinstein, are more reflexive dissenters. Outside of a few topics, like racial essentialism, Lehmann observes that the intellectual dark web was never a coherent movement. Finally, she reflects on the positives and negatives of social media, and how it has changed over the last five years of her editorship of Quillette.

Lehmann's mysterious, frequently nocturnal paintings draw from sources as varied as the Flemish Primitives, aeronautic technical bulletins, how-to photography manuals, Gothic altarpieces, and radiographic simulators. The work explores the continuity of symbolic motifs over the course of centuries, but is united by a persistent concern with the iconography of the unseeable. Prior to completing this body of work, Lehmann co-curated, with Ann Temkin, “Ileana Sonnabend: Ambassador for the New,” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York; coauthored the anthology Artists Who Make Books (Phaidon/PPP Editions); and wrote “Color Goes Electric,” a widely read history of standard test images and the digitization of color, for Triple Canopy. A former editor at Cabinet and a contributor to Artforum, Lehmann received a BA from Harvard College in Visual and Environmental Studies (1998–2003).

Episode Notes Claire Lehmann is the founder of Quillette.com, a website that has been deemed controversial by some for covering topics about feminism, trans issues, as well as many other social justice topics. Recently, Claire has had former followers turn against her as she has broken away from the tribe with her views on science and COVID mandates. We discuss tribalism, science, what's really going on in Australia and much more.

In episode 121 of The Just Checking In Podcast, we checked in with Paula Wright. Paula Wright is a graduate student in evolutionary psychology, a writer, actress and comic. Her Substack is called Dangerous Ideas and her journey into academia began when she founded a Facebook forum called Darwinian Gender Studies. This brought many academics, thinkers and writers to its discussion threads including now Quilette editor Claire Lehmann, Gad Saad and David Buss. Paula came from a working-class background and left school with no qualifications. She went into academia relatively late and became fascinated by the subject of evolutionary psychology which she believed could be used as a lens to explain aspects of feminism and other societal issues. In this episode we discuss how Paula got into academia, how Darwinian Gender Studies came to be and some of the issues she writes about, including the current conversation around rape, why she stopped identifying as a feminist when she said she found out the truth about rape conviction rates and cancel culture. For Paula's mental health we discuss her diagnosis of autism in her 40s, how she's lived with ADHD throughout her life and how taking medication for anxiety has helped her mental health. We also discuss the sexual abuse that was inflicted upon her family by her stepfather. Her stepfather sexually abused both of Paula's two sisters and attempted to sexually abuse Paula but didn't succeed. We talk about the impact that had on her and her family, how it affected her and how after multiple mistrials, he was finally convicted for the crimes he committed.

Many cultural forces continue to weed out books, tear down statues and shame celebrities, who buck fashionable opinion. As a result, the cultural putsch in many western institutions strikes at liberal values. We are told these purges are necessary to “prevent harm.” In any case, society has “moved on” from the past. But is cancel culture simply about fending off “harm”? Is it just about redressing past western sins? Or is what the critics say is a ferocious campaign of political conformity threatening the fabric of our liberal public discourse and civil society? Is it a proxy war on the Western liberal democratic tradition? Is anyone or anything safe from cancellation?

Earlier this week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had a difficult decision to make. Incoming legislation in Australia meant that social media platforms like his were going to be forced to pay news providers to new content. How was he going to respond? Quite aggressively, it would seem. Not only did he instantly pull all news content from Facebook Australia, but he did so overnight — without any warning — before the law even came into effect.So where does this leave news providers and online sites Down Under? Earlier today, Freddie Sayers spoke to Quillette's founding editor Claire Lehmann, who joined us from Sydney, to give us a clearer understanding of what this means for publications like hers.On Mark Zuckerberg:It's pretty clear that there's no regard for the platform — it's a communications platform — there's no regard for how community pages are set up and what impact this might have on local communities. Essential health services were impacted. Even mental health helplines had their pages wiped, and domestic violence hotlines had their pages removed because they share a lot of news content. It's a big F-you to the Australian user of Facebook. And my perception is that only a company with monopoly power would treat its users in this way. I can't think of another company that would just give the finger to its users in an entire country, and expect there to be no serious consequences. On bipartisan distrust of Facebook:It used to be that after the election of Trump, you know, the Left hated Facebook for allowing Trump to become elected, and for mining people's data out to Cambridge Analytica, and so on and so forth. But now, the distrust of the platform is definitely bipartisan. Conservatives dislike and distrust Facebook. And in Australia after this shock tactic of this instant ban, we had politicians from the Greens Party, the Labour Party, Liberal Party, all of our politicians were lining up and saying that this is outrageous behaviour. So he's united the polity here in Australia. And I think he's definitely miscalculated this move. On Mark Zuckerberg:It's a sign of an immature leader, to be honest…Zuckerberg is interesting, because he's an outlier in the tech industry, in that he's both CEO of Facebook and the Chairman of the board. So he really has no accountability to anyone, not even the board members or not even his shareholders, so he basically can do what he likes. And I think that's one reason why Facebook hasn't navigated through various controversies very well. And its brand is tarnished. On algorithms as a censorship tool:What I notice as a user of Facebook is that censorship is done in an extremely blunt fashion. Their censorship is done first and foremost, by algorithms. And the algorithms do not know how to differentiate between a literary essay, and a violent screed. Having robotic moderators might be cheap but ultimately, it just leads to a dumbed down kind of information ecosystem, which I think Facebook is. And I think it's really unfortunate that so much of their service is just automated algorithms. I imagine that it's completely unrealistic for them to employ more people to do content moderation. But, I think it's another indication that they don't really take public interest that seriously when everything is automated, and they make something like $37 billion in profit a year. It's a $500 billion company, and they can't invest a little bit more in having humans moderate content to make sure that censorship is not such a blunt tool. On reforming Big Tech:In an ideal world there would be more competition in the market. We could pick up our identity, our social media page that we've built on Facebook, we could pick up all that data and we would own it, because we would have digital property rights. And then we could take that data over to a new platform that we could enter into without much friction, and have a new social media experience. But because of the nature of network effects, and because Facebook is a monopoly power it is the predominant social media platform. I think the only real way forward is the antitrust action in the United States to break up WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook — there's that avenue. And then the other avenue is building open source decentralised social media platforms where users own their own digital identity much like Bitcoin, but for social media, or an encrypted social media platform.

With the next full episode still in production I'm going through some feedback from the Poorly Thought Through Guide to the Apocalypse and have a look ahead to the next episode. For those who said they want to commit arson on my old school, please don't.In Episode Three we look at the industry that is likely going to be the driving force in the breakdown of civilisation, the media. The industry I worked in for two decades. I think independent media is the only way to keep people adequately informed. In this episode I talk to two huge players in Australia's independent media scene, Anthony Klan from The Klaxon and Claire Lehmann from Quillette.Get on it. Thanks for listening.

Quillette Editor-in-Chief Claire Lehmann talks to Dr Tanveer Ahmed about how we should accept the presence of shame in our lives without succumbing to despair or outrage mobs.

My guest today is Claire Lehmann, the founder and editor-in-chief of Quillette, a for-profit online magazine that publishes essays on topics like politics, science, and academia. We started our conversation talking about Quilette's business model and the niche it occupies on the Internet. Then, we moved on to societal topics like the longevity of bureaucracies, the pros and cons of standardized tests, and what Claire would change about childhood education. ____________________________ Show Notes 1:31 - Why Claire believes being a for-profit instead of a non-profit gives her and her company more freedom. 5:32 - What Quillette has learned through publishing so many submitted articles over the years. 10:15 - The relationship between free speech and innovation. 13:12 - What we can learn from how Russia handled scientific experimentation and their lack of freedom to critique it. 15:08 - Why one of the biggest flaws Claire sees with higher education is that it seems necessary for people to go. 20:17 - How higher education is only creating academics and not lifelong students. 23:32 - Why organizations may have a lifecycle and how it plays into the problems that come with their extended growth. 29:45 - Why Claire believes literacy in subjects like psychology and statistics is massively underrated. 34:55 - What Enlightenment-era values are justly held in high regard, and which we may need to reconsider in the modern age. 40:54 - The historical reasons why intellectualism is not a strong value in Australia. 43:46 - What Claire has learned about childhood education through her time at Quillette, and why she believes younger children need to spend most of their time learning facts. 51:04 - Why standardized testing is beneficial for children from underprivileged families. 55:37 - What Claire believes to be her strengths in both her personal and business life. 58:12 - What about the book "The Custom And The Country" makes Claire love it so much. 1:01:42 - What it may mean for our brains as we possibly move into a "post-literate" society. 1:05:03 - Claire's favorite articles she's ever hosted on Quillette.

On Liberty, host Salvatore Babones speaks with Peter Kurti. Peter is Director of Culture, Prosperity & Civil Society program at the Centre for Independent Studies. In his recent paper, he warns that the drive to eradicate offensive words, images, and opinions from the public square is rapidly displacing liberal commitments to freedom of speech. ‘Cancel culture' campaigns in Australia are intended to erase elements of our history and to deny the record of those who helped found this country. The impulse to impose a revised interpretation of the past poses a danger that threatens to corrode civility, destroy civic trust, and fuel community discord. Join us as we discuss Australia's cancel culture.

On the On Liberty show this week, host Salvatore Babones will speak with Claire Lehmann. Claire is Australian journalist and the founding editor of Quillette. Covid-19 has vastly accelerated the electronic communication trends that were already occurring. The adoption of digital business, away from bricks and mortar is becoming second nature. Claire will discuss how these changes may, and already have, impacted schools and online businesses. As the world pivots to this new reality, we'll discuss what these online interactions means for education, for people's social lives (and events). Claire and Salvatore will discuss how all of these trends have wider implications for culture, politics and liberty.

In light of a recent piece by Der Spiegel, one of the largest news magazine publications, on the legacy of controversial Barrett Brown and the early 21st century "hacktivism" of Anonymous, Barrett Brown returns to Parallax Views for a jam-packed two-hour conversation addressing Barrett's criticisms of the article. Specifically, Barrett takes issue with Alexandra Rojkov, the author behind the piece, using a tweet by Claire Lehmann, founder of the equally controversial Quillette magazine (which has promoted writings related to "race realism" as well as, at one time, the work of Andy Ngo), accusing Brown of "harassing women in tech". Within said tweet Lehmann offered, as evidence, a retweet ofBrown asking for "anyone with information about [Peter] Thiel associate Riva-Melissa Tez" to "please email me". In this conversation, argues that a call to potential sources interested in offering him information on Riva-Melissa Tez stretches the credulity of the term harassment and would require a concrete definition of harassment to be laid out. Additionally, he says, Lehmann's tweet inadvertently gave Brown the information he sought from sources who saw it. From there we begin to delve into the larger failures of the press through a multitude of examples, from the Dallas press's employing a white supremacist radio host who went by the psuedonym Spectre to the recent report by Jared Holt, Angry White Men, Right Wing Watch on Michael J. Thompson, a figure within the conservative movement who moonlighted as the alt right personality "Paul Kersey". Why are these figures allowed to exist within the institutions for so long while Barrett Brown and a whistleblower like Val Broeksmit are smeared for pasts involving drug use? This leads us into a discussion Peter Thiel and his software company Palantir. Brown explains what he sees as the relationship between Thiel and the press. In addition, he argues that there are connections between Thiel and magazines like Quillette as well the infamous hacker Andrew Aurnheimer aka "weev". Moreover, Brown says the the story of Thiel's rise, the advent of the alt right, surveillance, and other issues are interrelated and not yet fully known to the public. In addition, Brown discusses the nature of Thiel's agenda and whether it is, as the mainstream media presents it, libertarian in its nature or rather, as investigative journalists like Corey Pein have alluded to, is connected to "The Dark Enlightenment" of neoreactionary philosopher Nick Land. Moreover, Brown says that Palantir is at the center of much more than normally recognized and that Thiel and his agenda is the most dangerous in the world. At this point Brown delves more deeply into the ideology of this "Dark Enlightenment", the premises it is based on, why it is capable of making an argument in a persuasive fashion, and why it must be opposed. Particularly, he notes that "The Dark Enlightenment" persuades by pointing out, often correctly, the failures of institutions within Democracy currently. Brown, however, says that we must find an alternative to counteract this ideology, which he says will manage to become a strong attractor for those with inherited wealth and spreading out from that point. We wrap up the show with Brown announcing the hiatus of the Pursuance Project and a possible Hollywood collaboration with Alex Winter in the future. Then, for what may be the first time, the life, legacy, and mysterious death of journalist Michael Hastings as well as his relationship to Hastings. Hastings was a journalist who gained much recognition for his work on the Iraq war. After the death of his fiancée, Andrea Pahramovich he wrote a book about her passing and his relationship with her in I Lost My Love in Baghdad: A Modern Love Story. Hastings wrote for both the Rolling Stone and Buzzfeed. During the Obama years Hasting becase very critical of what he saw as a state-sponsored war on journalists. He won the George Polk award for his Rolling Stone profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal entitled "The Runaway General" Unfortunately, Hastings passed away under controversial circumstances (many alleged conspiracy/foul play) on June 18, 2013. In this portion of the conversation Brown outlines his relationship with the late journalist, their shared concerns, and Hastings' treatment by the media.All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views.

Eiynah returns to the show for the first time in probably way too long! She is a Pakistani-Canadian podcaster/illustrator/blogger who also has dealt with a lot of the same Rational(tm) Intellectual Dark Web types that I have talked about on this show a lot. We talk about that, delusional centrism, unexamined white identity and false objectivity, before venturing on in the second half to talk about Islam. As an ex-Muslim, Eiynah has unique insight into the balancing act of criticizing the bad ideas of Islam without feeding into disgusting anti-Muslim bigotry. As promised, here is a list of some people/events we referenced with links: Intellectual Dark Web and NYT Photo Shoot; James Lindsay, JV IDW, past guest on the show, former friend but current warrior against the Humanities for.. not good reasons; Michael Shermer - past guest on the show, never will be again, very credibly accused of being a creep; Carl Benjamin - the douchebag I debated who calls himself Sargon, running for MP and can't stop getting hit with stuff; Sam Harris interview we referenced; Claire Lehmann head of Quillette; Steven Pinker - guy who is super smart in his field but feels the need to venture into lots of other fields and do them badly; Jerry Coyne - minor new atheist who has an angry old man yelling at clouds blog, turned down half a dozen respectful requests WAY back in the day to have conversations on social justice despite claiming to be all about debate; Rashida Tlaib NYT Daily Interview; Secular Jihadist Ali Rizvi Armin discussion.

Claire Lehmann (founding editor, Quillette) joins Dave to discuss her work with Quillette, a platform for free thought that respects ideas, even dangerous ones. Quillette believes that free expression and the free exchange of ideas help human societies flourish and progress.

Claire Lehmann is the founding editor of Quillette, an online magazine dedicated to free thought and open inquiry. Founded in 2015, the magazine has already developed a large and growing readership that values Quillette's promise to treat all ideas with respect, even those that may be politically incorrect. As an Australian, Claire tells Tyler she doesn't think she could have started the magazine in America. Even in risk-loving San Fransisco, where this conversation took place, people are too afraid to speak their minds. "You celebrate entrepreneurs and courage in making money and that kind of thing, but there is a general timidity when it comes to expressing one's honest views about things," she tells Tyler. "I find that surprising, and particularly among people who are risk-taking in all sorts of other domains." She and Tyler explore her ideas about the stifling effect of political correctness and more, including why its dominant form may come from the political right, how higher education got screwed up, strands of thought favored by the Internet and Youtube, overrated and underrated Australian cities, Aussie blokes, and more.
