We speak with Arlene Goldbard, writer, visual artist, speaker, social activist and consultant, whose most recent book is "In the Camp of Angels of Freedom: What does it mean to be educated?" An autodidact from a working-class background, Arlene challenges "the certainty that academic qualifications are the best measure of ability." She interweaves the stories and portraits of her "angels," her personal story, and a critique of standard narratives of education. We talk with her in particular about two of her "angels," Paulo Freire and Paul Goodman.

What is a teacher's role in the classroom and how do students learn best? In this episode, Naomi and Ian are joined by Daniel Buck, teacher, Senior Visiting Fellow at the Fordham Institute, and author of the new book, “What Is Wrong with Our Schools?” Daniel describes the philosophy of education, beginning with the classical view that teachers are the authorities in the classroom and their primary role is to transmit knowledge to their students. Starting in the 1960s, though, progressive educators Henry Giroux and Paulo Freire popularized the idea that teachers are merely guides, helping students on a path of self-discovery.Freire's philosophy is dominant in K-12 education today, with teachers and administrators seeing teaching as a fundamentally oppressive task. This has led to innovations liked “project-based learning” or the “flipped classroom” where the student is encouraged to explore what already interests them. Not only do these strategies fail to impart important information to students, they also leave many students frustrated. Evidence suggests that students need structure, guidance, and a knowledge-based approach in order to succeed academically.Resources:• What Is Wrong With Our Schools?

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 105 We hear so much about "decolonization" nowadays. Whether it's decolonizing the curriculum, decolonizing science, decolonizing Shakespeare, decolonizing the nation, or whatever; whether it's decolonizing education following from Joe Kincheloe's project on Paulo Freire; wherever we hear it, it means something. So it can be better understood, in this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes a dive into one of the key early texts of decolonization and Postcolonial Theory: Frantz Fanon's legendary The Wretched of the Earth (https://amzn.to/3CgWNFr). Fanon minces no words, writing in the first sentence, "whatever may be the headings used or the new formulas introduced, decolonization is always a violent phenomenon."

Anita, Mavis, and Gail discuss the the first year of InflexionPoint Podcast in terms of the most personally impactful and transformational episodes. They describe the show as influential in terms of historical and racial literacy. Racial Literacy: (1) a concept developed by sociologist France Winddance Twine, UC Santa Barbara Dept of Sociology. She describes it as "a form of racial socialization and antiracist training that ... parents of African-descent children practiced in their efforts to defend their children against racism" in her research done in the United Kingdom with mixed-race families. (2) a skill and practice by which individuals can probe the existence of racism and examine the effects of race and institutionalized systems on their experiences and representation in US society. Becoming racially literate requires that, as educators (and humans), we can: Engage with the emotional content of any conversation that has a focus on race Welcome personal narratives and the lived experiences of all who are involved in the race conversation Talk confidently about our own racial identities Feel confident in creating and engaging in healthy and reciprocal cross-racial relationships Challenge racism at the individual, group and systemic level Historical Literacy: The past informs the present to empower the future. The past and present, in many ways, influence our future. Paulo Freire, in his book Pedagogy of the Oppressed, says: Looking at the past must only be a means of understanding more clearly what and who you are. So, you can build the future more wisely." What Good is History? History matters because history is the fragile tether that not only connects us to what and who came before us, it is by way of history that then has become now. Asking questions of history brings perspective, knowledge, maybe even lessons.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7254PROCLAMARE SANTO IL VESCOVO CAMARA SIGNIFICA CANONIZZARE IL COMUNISMOIl vescovo brasiliano Helder Camara potrebbe essere dichiarato venerabile: fu protagonista della teologia della liberazione, benevolo verso Urss e Cina, nella sua diocesi si pianificava la lotta armata rivoluzionariadi Stefano ChiappaloneUn deciso passo in avanti per la causa di beatificazione di mons. Helder Camara (1909-1999), il "vescovo rosso" brasiliano che a breve potrebbe essere dichiarato venerabile. Lo ha reso noto l'arcivescovo mons. Fernando Saburido, suo successore nell'arcidiocesi di Olinda e Recife, retta da Camara tra il 1964 e il 1985. Un prelato sui generis, schierato con l'ala più progressista dei padri conciliari e poi, a concilio concluso, desideroso di un Vaticano III che superasse il secondo (naturalmente a sinistra). Protagonista della teologia della liberazione, sul piano politico, si mostrò decisamente benevolo verso le dittature comuniste, dall'Unione Sovietica, alla Cina, a Cuba, sempre all'insegna della "difesa dei poveri" con cui è stato propagandisticamente identificato in vita e in morte. Qualora un giorno mons. Camara salisse agli onori degli altari, costituirebbe un modello a dir poco controverso. A sostenerlo, auspicando che la causa venga sospesa, è Tradizione Famiglia Proprietà (TFP), rete di associazioni nata proprio in Brasile dall'opera di Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira (1908-1995), leader cattolico e impegnato nella "battaglia culturale" su posizioni opposte a quelle di dom Camara. Ne parla a La Bussola Julio Loredo, presidente della TFP italiana.Loredo, potremmo avere dunque un "vescovo rosso" sugli altari?Dom Helder Camara è stato una figura chiave del progressismo ecclesiale dagli anni ‘30 fino alla morte, protagonista della svolta a sinistra dell'Azione Cattolica in Brasile. In seno a questo processo è sorta anche la teologia della liberazione. Inoltre negli anni '50 e '60 ha avuto un ruolo centrale nel ricambio (generazionale ma anche ideologico) dell'episcopato brasiliano, favorendo la nomina di prelati progressisti insieme al nunzio dell'epoca, mons. Armando Lombardi.Una parabola partita però dal fronte opposto...E non da semplice militante: era il numero due del partito filo-nazista Azione Integralista Brasiliana, fondato da Plinio Salgado. Quando fu ordinato sacerdote, nel 1931, sotto la talare indossava la divisa delle milizie integraliste. Grazie a uno studio di Plinio Correa de Oliveira, che ne mostrava l'incompatibilità con la dottrina cattolica, venne meno l'appoggio ecclesiastico al movimento, poi messo fuorilegge dal presidente Getulio Vargas. Dopo la dissoluzione e l'esilio di Salgado, Camara iniziò il suo trasbordo ideologico verso sinistra - che abbiamo descritto in apertura - fino alla teologia della liberazione e alla costituzione di comunità ecclesiali di base (CEB), prefigurate dal pedagogo brasiliano marxista Paulo Freire, ispiratore del Movimento de Educação de Base.Come si mosse dom Camara durante il Concilio?Pur non avendo mai preso la parola in aula, è stato assolutamente centrale dietro le quinte del Vaticano II. Era lui a coordinare gli incontri fra esponenti dell'ala progressista (curiosamente anche sul fronte tradizionalista la spinta veniva dal Brasile, grazie agli incontri coordinati da Plinio Correa de Oliveira dai quali scaturì il Coetus Internationalis Patrum). In questi anni dom Helder, già parte integrante della teologia della liberazione, portava avanti il dissenso dal magistero anche sul piano morale fino alla critica della Humanae Vitae di Paolo VI e alla difesa dell'aborto.Un politico più che un vescovo?Nel 1969 tenne un celebre discorso a New York in cui appoggiava il comunismo internazionale. Difendeva l'URSS e la Cina di Mao. Al Sessantotto risale uno degli episodi più scioccanti: il documento Comblin. Nel giugno 1968 trapelò questo documento che pianificava una rivoluzione comunista armata in Brasile. Joseph Comblin era un sacerdote belga, professore presso l'istituto teologico di Recife. Dunque, nella diocesi e sotto l'egida di mons. Camara, il quale non negò l'autenticità del documento, limitandosi a dire che non era ufficiale. Il progetto contemplava, per esempio, l'abolizione della proprietà privata, delle forze armate, la censura di stampa, radio e tv, i tribunali popolari. In pratica una rivoluzione bolscevica in Brasile. Correa de Oliveira raccolse 2 milioni di firme chiedendo l'intervento di Paolo VI per bloccare questa infiltrazione marxista nella Chiesa brasiliana, ma non ebbe risposta.Anzi, il controverso presule rimase in carica fino ai 75 anni canonici.Nel 1984 Giovanni Paolo II nominò suo successore José Cardoso Sobrinho, che ha cercato di mettere un po' d'ordine nella diocesi, addirittura chiudendo l'istituto teologico e creandone un altro. Nello stesso anno usciva l'istruzione vaticana Libertatis Nuntius che condannava gli aspetti esterni della teologia della liberazione, ma era come chiudere la stalla con i buoi già scappati.E lui personalmente non ha mai ritrattato le sue posizioni?Non risulta. E alla sua morte, nell'agosto 1999, godeva di una sorta di canonizzazione mediatica. Alcuni giornali italiani titolavano: «Profeta dei poveri», «Santo delle favelas», «Voce del Terzo Mondo», e addirittura «San Helder d'America».Una "fama di santità" ideologica, più che religiosa.Un'eventuale canonizzazione di dom Helder Camara sarebe la canonizzazione del comunismo, della teologia della liberazione, del dissenso. Lo chiamano già "Santo dei poveri", ma lui difendeva regimi che provocano la povertà, come aveva sintetizzato Indro Montanelli: «La sinistra ama tanto i poveri, che ogni volta che sale al potere ne aumenta il numero». Riguardo alla «falsificazione della fede cristiana» operata dalla teologia della liberazione, Benedetto XVI disse che « bisognava opporsi anche proprio per amore dei poveri e a pro del servizio che va reso loro».Nota di BastaBugie: mons. Helder Câmara appoggiava un progetto di rivoluzione comunista per l'America Latina conosciuto come il "Documento Comblin" preparato nel giugno 1968 sotto l'egida di mons. Helder Câmara dal sacerdote belga Joseph Comblin, professore presso l'Istituto Teologico (Seminario) di Recife. Si trattava di un Rapporto destinato al Consiglio Episcopale Latinoamericano. Il documento proponeva, senza veli, un piano eversivo per smantellare lo Stato e stabilire una "dittatura popolare" di matrice comunista.In mezzo all'accesa polemica che ne seguì, padre Comblin non negò l'autenticità del documento, ma disse trattarsi "soltanto di una bozza".Eccone alcuni punti, riportati dal sito di Tradizione, Famiglia, Proprietà:CONTRO LA PROPRIETÀNel documento, il p. Comblin difende una triplice riforma - agraria, urbana e aziendale- partendo dal presupposto che la proprietà privata e, quindi, il capitale siano intrinsecamente ingiusti. Qualsiasi uso privato del capitale dovrebbe essere vietato dalla legge.UGUAGLIANZA TOTALEL'obiettivo, afferma p. Comblin, è stabilire l'uguaglianza totale. Ogni gerarchia, sia nel campo politico-sociale sia in quello ecclesiastico, va quindi abolita.RIVOLUZIONE POLITICO-SOCIALEIn campo politico-sociale, questa rivoluzione ugualitaria propugna la distruzione dello Stato per mano di "gruppi di pressione" radicali i quali, una volta preso il potere, dovranno stabilire una ferrea "dittatura popolare" per imbavagliare la maggioranza, ritenuta "indolente".RIVOLUZIONE NELLA CHIESAPer consentire a questa minoranza radicale di governare senza intralci, il documento propone il virtuale annullamento dell'autorità dei vescovi, che sarebbero soggetti al potere di un organo composto solo da estremisti, una sorta di Politburo ecclesiastico.ABOLIZIONE DELLE FORZE ARMATELe Forze Armate vanno sciolte e le loro armi distribuite al popolo.CENSURA DI STAMPA, RADIO E TVFinché il popolo non avrà raggiunto un accettabile livello di "coscienza rivoluzionaria", la stampa, radio e TV vanno strettamente controllati. Chi non è d'accordo deve abbandonare il Paese.TRIBUNALI POPOLARIAccusando il Potere Giudiziario di essere "corrotto dalla borghesia", p. Comblin propone l'istituzione di "Tribunali popolari straordinari" per applicare il rito sommario contro chiunque si opponga a questo vento rivoluzionario.VIOLENZANel caso in cui non fosse stato possibile attuare questo piano eversivo con mezzi normali, il professore del seminario di Recife considerava legittimo il ricorso alle armi per stabilire, manu militari, il regime da lui teorizzato.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 102 Education has been stolen from our society and from our kids. This should be intolerable. Doing something about it, as we're learning, requires understanding how this robbery has occurred and how it keeps running. Fortunately, that's comprehensible and can be summarized in a single short sentence: our kids go to Paulo Freire's schools. You may not know who Paulo Freire was, but his theory of education (critical pedagogy, as it came to be called) explains a great deal of what has gone wrong in our schools. To make this subject comprehensible and pull back the veil on Marxist praxis in education over the last fifty years, James Lindsay, host of the New Discourses Podcast, has written a new book called The Marxification of Education: Paulo Freire's Critical Marxism and the Theft of Education (https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY/ ), which is available now.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 100 We all know academia is in trouble. In fact, we're not even sure it can be saved. To put it simply, the university is dying. To be sure, it's a strange death, however, because the university is in some sense going back to its roots, returning to being theological seminaries, though in a completely new religion. That religion is the transformative religion of Dialectical Leftism, and its materialist watchword in the 21st century is “Sustainability.” In this New Discourses Podcast series, host James Lindsay takes the listener through a 2022 UNESCO book, Knowledge-driven Actions: Transforming Higher Education for Global Sustainability (https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000380519/ ), that calls upon all “higher education institutions” to transform themselves so that they align, promote, and help complete the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a part of the 2030 Agenda. In this fourth and final episode of the series, host James Lindsay takes the listener through the third chapter of this manipulative UNESCO document. (Chapters four and five are left as homework!) This chapter features one of the most dangerous and manipulative concepts to come out of the Woke Marxist movement, not least thanks to the work done by Paulo Freire: other ways of knowing. In this chapter, you can hear how the "ways of knowing" in the natural sciences have to be adjusted, modified, and made pluralistic alongside activism, the arts, humanities, and the social sciences, especially feminism and "Indigeneity" in service to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations Agenda 2030. All knowledge must serve the new regime, and all knowing systems have to be redesigned to serve its agendas. This is truly the death of the university in the making, and it is a strange death from within, indeed. Join James to hear about how truth is to be replaced by agenda throughout what used to be deserving of being called universities.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 26 Education is being stolen from our kids and our society. In fact, for the most part, it has been stolen already. The way it's being and been done is through using something that is known as the "generative themes" approach, which derives from the work of the Marxist educator Paulo Freire. Generative themes are supposed to generate particular kinds of political conversations in the context of presenting some other kind of educational lesson. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay shares (with permission) Jennifer McWilliams's example (https://www.jennifermcwilliamsconsulting.com/) of a seemingly benign and innocuous second-grade word problem in mathematics class to show how a simple subtraction lesson can be turned into any number of political conversations about poverty, race, sex, gender, sexuality, family, parental authority, and environmental issues or climate change by a manipulative teacher-activist using the Freirean generative themes approach. This is what we are up against. This needs to stop.

The Marxification of Education Workshop, Session 2 How on Earth did education get so messed up and stolen from our society and our kids? While the critical turn in education enabled this "transformation" of our education system, the crucial piece that allowed it to happen is the work of a Brazilian Marxist by the name of Paulo Freire. Paulo Freire completely transformed education, not least by Marxifying it. That is, in addition to creating the conditions to swap out actual education for political education, Freire structured his understanding of education and knowledge itself as a Marxist Theory of knowing and being educated. Treating these as a special kind of bourgeois private property, Freire paved the way to abolish education entirely and to reimagine it as a system of brainwashing learners into critical Marxist consciousness. Here, New Discourses Founder James Lindsay summarizes this transformation of education itself in this second of four presentations on the Marxification of Education delivered in late July 2022 in Arlington, Virginia, on location in the now-famous Loudoun County, ground zero for the fight for America's schools. As a result of the research that produced this lecture series, and this lecture in particular, Lindsay has written a detailed and accessible book expanding on these themes considerably, titled The Marxification of Education, which is available for preorder now: https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY Support New Discourses: https://newdiscourses.com/support Subscribe to New Discourses on other platforms: https://newdiscourses.com/subscribe Follow James Lindsay: https://linktr.ee/conceptualjames © 2022 New Discourses.

The Theology of Marxism, Session 9 In this ninth session of Sovereign Nations's "The Theology of Marxism" conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in June 2022, Dr. James Lindsay discusses the process of rebirth in the theology of Marxism, "conscientization," and the next turn of the Leftist Dialectic, "Sustainability." In that Marxism is a theology that gives birth to a religion of Communism, it has to also have a process of conversion. That process was not well-developed under Karl Marx, but it grew over the intervening century and a half and came to be known as "conscientization." As Marxism entered its cultural turn in the 1920s, Theorists like Gyorgy Lukacs recognized that "class consciousness" unfolds in stages and is educable, though the last steps remained elusive and mysterious. By the 1980s, Theorists like Paulo Freire developed the process of conscientization further into a critical and even utopian consciousness that can be used to mobilize converts to transform the world. As we learn from the United Nations and its Agenda 2030, however, the next phase in transformation is to mobilize this utopian consciousness to create a sustained regime branded as a "sustainable and inclusive future." Thus, they forward 17 Sustainable Development Goals "to transform our world" and are beginning to gear conscientization in that direction. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 94 Paulo Freire is a Brazilian Marxist who is responsible for "Marxifying" education (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/05/paulo-freires-marxification-of-education/), thereby ruining it. In effect, what he did was created a Marxist Theory of being educated (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/05/paulo-freires-schools-new-discourses-bullets-ep-7/), and what this did, in turn, was create a Marxist Theory of knowledge and knowing. Who gets to be considered a knower? On what grounds? To whose benefit? Who decides? All of these questions are to be answered on (Critical) Marxist grounds. One result of this transition, in addition to his approach to education (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/08/paulo-freire-and-the-critical-theft-of-education/), is that he opened the door to a true Marxism of stupidity. You see, as a result of Freire's arguments, "excluded knowledges" have to be included, which includes the stupid. Speaking of how anti-intellectual and stupid this allowed Marxism to be, it allows for any idiot with a "Critical" disposition to create a Marxist Theory of anything by asking and answering the sorts of questions listed above about the knowledge base of anything they want. Thus, we end up with Marxist analyses of every academic subject, every facet of society, every hobby, every everything, in an interminable cascade of irritating stupidity we refer to as "being Woke." In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay explains the phenomenon through a number of examples that make it absolutely clear how cheap and stupid "Marxist" analysis has become as a result of going "Woke."

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 91 The churches are under attack, not just from without but also from within. Marxist subversion has been brought deeply into them, and they are already falling. The model for how this is being accomplished mirrors the model used to steal education, so it's little surprise that the Brazilian Marxist educator Paulo Freire is at the bottom of it. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay picks up out of the Critical Education Series (https://newdiscourses.com/tag/critical-education-theory/) in which he has been reading most of Freire's landmark 1985 book, The Politics of Education: Culture, Power, and Liberation (https://amzn.to/3IJ4ZOT). Here, he presents the last two thirds of the tenth chapter of that book, which is dedicated not to education at all but to seeing churches as educational platforms that can be utilized in the same way as schools to raise Marxist consciousness. The model is simple: capture the colleges of education and seminaries and you get the teachers and the pastors, and once you have them you get the students and the laity. Join James to understand the goal of transforming the Christian churches in theory, practice, and agenda in this gripping podcast that exposes the roots and implementation of a devastating Marxist rot in mainline Christianity and thus the chief heresy of the twenty-first century.

In this first part of this shocking chapter, before turning to the role he envisions for churches, Freire explains the religious conversion educators must go through in order to be "true" educators. He describes it as a process of spiritual death and rebirth, literally an Easter educators and religious leaders must go through to be resurrected on the side of the oppressed. This is the religious heart of the so-called "pedagogy of the oppressed" at the center of Freire's entire project and legacy.

In this episode of the Fed Watch podcast, we get interactive with the livestream team, talking about the history of Davos and the World Economic Forum, as well as getting into some Q&A about my Federal Reserve predictions. This week was a slightly slower news cycle in macro and bitcoin, so I took the opportunity to begin a new series of discussing the history of important international institutions, like central banks, the IMF, and this week the World Economic Forum. The history portion take up about 50% of the show this week, and the rest is the probing Q&A mentioned above. Fed Watch is the macro podcast for bitcoiners. Each episode we discuss current events in macro from across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currency matters. Beginnings of Davos and the World Economic Forum Davos is the name and place for the yearly meeting of the World Economic Forum. Originally called the European Management Forum, it was founded in 1971 by a business professor in Geneva, the infamous Klaus Schwab. That should be a familiar year to bitcoiners, because it is the same year President Nixon took the US off the remnant of the gold standard. At first, Davos was a small conference of European businessmen discussing Klaus Schwab's ideas of “stakeholder capitalism''. Compared to unbridled capitalism, this new stakeholder idea expanded the ethical duty of the corporation from serving customers and shareholders to also serving employees and suppliers in a socially responsible way. Schwab took this idea further down the slippery slope outlining an ethical duty to the community and “society”, as well. Shareholder capitalism is simply a subtle way to make capitalism more socialist. In 1987, the European Management Forum changed its name to the World Economic Forum and its yearly meeting to Davos. Achievements of Davos One would expect an institution as famous and well-regarded as the World Economic Forum would have many achievements to its name. However, it is a very short list, even after 50 years! It claims a hand in stopping a Turkish/Greek war in 1987, a role in German reunification, and helping to end apartied in South Africa by hosting a handshake between Nelson Mandella and Frederik de Klerk in 1992. And that's about it. Recently, they have claimed some victories on the  environmentalism front, too. Then what has the WEF been up to all these years? This is where it gets interesting. In 2004, Klaus Schwab created the Forum of Young Global Leaders. It is a program that graduates roughly 100 rising young leaders from around the world who are destined to high offices, either in government, business or culture. The program boasts 1400 alumni that include Presidents and Prime Ministers, along with some of the wealthiest, most influential people in the world, like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. These young leaders are indoctrinated into the WEF's brand of Marxism, which you will commonly hear called “globalism”, the modern incarnation of stakeholder capitalism. You know something is pushing a global Marxist agenda when you hear terms like, “socially responsible”, “global governance”, “climate action”, and “management” of all sorts. Covid and The Great Reset Covid-19 gave the World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab the break they were waiting for. He rapidly released his new book called the Great Reset, making headlines around the world. If you didn't know about the WEF prior to Covid, you do now.  The Great Reset is a call for a complete remaking of our world along the lines of stakeholder capitalism and the WEF's brand of Marxism. Its famous marketing tagline is, “You will own nothing and be happy.” Yet again, a conspiracy theory becomes a conspiracy fact. “As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons. Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum's communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being.” - WEF Ideological Connections Klaus Schwab has a deep Marxist past that starts with Father Câmara from South America. He was invited to speak at the 1974 meeting of the then European Management Forum, and in that speech, Father Câmara called for wealth distribution in very clear language. He also became the first in a string of ‘Liberation Theology' priests to speak at the meeting over the years. Câmara was a well-known revolutionary Marxist and persona non grata to many governments, but also the person whom Schwab called his ‘spiritual father'. His influence was much more broad than just the WEF. Câmara also mentor to Paulo Freire, author of Pedagogy of the Oppressed, the third most cited book in the social sciences and underpins modern ‘Identity Marxism' that has infiltrated Western schools. A third disciple of Câmara is Pope Francis, known in some circles as the Marxist Pope. “If one person lacks what is necessary to live with dignity, it is because another person is detaining it. [...] the right to private property can only be considered a secondary natural right, derived from the principle of the universal destination of created goods.” - Pope Francis, emphasis added What we have here is the World Economic Forum playing a role in a large scale Marxist attack on our society. The three disciples of Câmara, one being Klaus Schwab, play major roles in education, religion and business. World Economic Forum on Stablecoins Before we move on to the Q&A segment of the show, I outline a few times the WEF has spoken about bitcoin. They are very much against bitcoin mining and often have levied attacks against it. In November of last year, they produced a series of white papers about stablecoins and CBDCs. These halfway steps are of course the WEF's preferred way to appear to embrace bitcoin's revolution, while not really embracing anything new. CBDC's in particular are a wonderful way for the WEF and likeminded globalists to co opt the bitcoin revolution and use it to increase their own power and influence. Q&A To wrap up the show, the guys from the livestream team, Chris and Q, ask several questions about the Federal Reserve and the US economic outlook for the next few months. It's a great segment and allows me to flesh out my macro predictions. You'll have to listen to find out! That does it for this week. Thanks to the watchers and listeners.

Paulo Freire is a Brazilian Marxist and Liberation Theologian who remade literacy education according to his ideological programs (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/04/paulo-freires-politics-of-education/) and thereby ruined it. His ideas were imported to North America in the 1980s and have been steadily colonizing education ever since. Now, his work has been so influential on the "Critical Pedagogy" (or, "Critical Education Theory") movement that virtually all teachers are trained in his ideas and implement them in classrooms across the nation. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down what this unfortunate turn in education means for schools and our kids.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 76 Critical Education Theory Series, Part 12 This episode of the New Discourses Podcast continues into a second part a long miniseries exploring Paulo Freire's landmark 1985 book The Politics of Education: Culture, Power, and Liberation, and it is embedded in the broader Critical Education Theory series here. In the previous part, James Lindsay presented the ideas in the first half of the sixth chapter, wherein we see how Freire Marxified education itself. The previous parts of this series, covering the earlier chapters of the book can be found here (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/04/paulo-freires-politics-of-education/), here (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/04/paulo-freire-educating-to-proclaim-the-world/), here (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/04/social-work-education/), and here (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/05/paulo-freires-marxification-of-education/). In this episode, James takes up the more complex second half of chapter six, revealing how Freire's "dialogical model" of education is, in fact, the birthplace of what he has elsewhere referred to as "Groomer Schools." Join him to understand how Freire didn't just Marxify education but also retooled pedagogy to amount to Marxist political grooming, which is far worse than mere indoctrination.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 75 Critical Education Theory Series, Part 11 This episode of the New Discourses Podcast continues into a second part a long miniseries exploring Paulo Freire's landmark 1985 book The Politics of Education: Culture, Power, and Liberation (https://amzn.to/3IJ4ZOT), and it is embedded in the broader Critical Education Theory series here (https://newdiscourses.com/tag/critical-education-theory/). In the previous part, James Lindsay presented the ideas of the fifth chapter, wherein the seeds of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) are laid as Freire describes how education and social work are closely related. The previous parts of this series, covering the earlier chapters of the book can be found here (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/04/paulo-freires-politics-of-education/), here (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/04/paulo-freire-educating-to-proclaim-the-world/), and here (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/04/social-work-education/). In this episode, James dives into the first half of the sixth chapter, which goes deeply into Freire's model for education. In fact, what we see in this episode makes sense of the ones before it while setting the stage for all the ones that follow. Paulo Freire Marxified education itself. That is, Freire redefined literacy, education, and even knowledge according to the usual bourgeois/proletarian dichotomy and thus was able to redefine literacy to mean gaining critical consciousness. Join James to hear about the Marxification of education itself, bearing in mind yet again that almost all of our kids now go to Paulo Freire's schools.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 74 Critical Education Theory Series, Part 10 Here on the New Discourses Podcast, we are deep into our sprawling series (https://newdiscourses.com/tag/critical-education-theory/) on Critical Education Theory (Critical Pedagogy) and the Identity Marxist corruption of our schools, and at the same time, we're still being gaslighted about whether or not Critical Race Theory is even present in American schools. In this episode of the podcast, James Lindsay reads through part of an academic paper from 2006 about incorporating Critical Race Theory and Whiteness Studies into literacy education in second-grade classrooms. That's seven-year-olds. The point is clear: almost all of our kids go to Paulo Freire's Marxist schools, and Critical Race Theory is definitely a part of that program in today's Race Marxist regime.

In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James Lindsay reads the entirety of chapter 5 of The Politics of Education, which seems out of place at first because it addresses "the role of the social worker in the process of change." Not only is this chapter also profoundly religious, it reveals two points very clearly that are crucial to understand if one is to understand Critical Pedagogy (thus what's happening in schools). First, Freire is reproducing basic Marxist Theory with knowledge (as understood by formal education within the existing system) as the special form of bourgeois property. Second, Freire is erasing the distinction between education, which he says must be sociopolitical to be authentic, and social work, paving the way for the Social-Emotional Learning (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/03/critical-education-transformative-social-emotional-learning-sel/) programs of today, especially Transformative SEL.

In Technology of the Oppressed: Inequity and the Digital Mundane in Favelas of Brazil (MIT Press, 2022), David Nemer draws on extensive ethnographic fieldwork to provide a rich account of how favela residents engage with technology in community technology centers and in their everyday lives. Their stories reveal the structural violence of the information age. But they also show how those oppressed by technology don't just reject it, but consciously resist and appropriate it, and how their experiences with digital technologies enable them to navigate both digital and nondigital sources of oppression—and even, at times, to flourish. Nemer uses a decolonial and intersectional framework called Mundane Technology as an analytical tool to understand how digital technologies can simultaneously be sites of oppression and tools in the fight for freedom. Building on the work of the Brazilian educator and philosopher Paulo Freire, he shows how the favela residents appropriate everyday technologies—technological artifacts (cell phones, Facebook), operations (repair), and spaces (Telecenters and Lan Houses)—and use them to alleviate the oppression in their everyday lives. He also addresses the relationship of misinformation to radicalization and the rise of the new far right. Contrary to the simplistic techno-optimistic belief that technology will save the poor, even with access to technology these marginalized people face numerous sources of oppression, including technological biases, racism, classism, sexism, and censorship. Yet the spirit, love, community, resilience, and resistance of favela residents make possible their pursuit of freedom. David Nemer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Media Studies and in the Latin American Studies program at the University of Virginia. He is also a Faculty Associate at Harvard University's Berkman Klein Center and Princeton University's Brazil Lab. His research and teaching interests cover the intersection of Science and Technology Studies (STS), Anthropology of Technology, ICT for Development (ICT4D), and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Nemer is an ethnographer whose fieldworks include the Slums of Vitória, Brazil; Havana, Cuba; Guadalajara, Mexico; and Eastern Kentucky, Appalachia. Nemer is the author of Technology of the Oppressed (MIT Press, 2022) and Favela Digital: The other side of technology (Editora GSA, 2013).

In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James tackles the next two chapters of this book, chapters three and four, wherein it becomes abundantly clear that "Culturally Relevant Teaching" (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/02/critical-education-what-is-culturally-relevant-pedagogy/) is an Identity Marxist repackaging of Freirean education. His discussion highlights how messianic Freire is and pointing out that, in some sense, Freire's Critical Pedagogy stands in analogous relationship to the Gospel of John for the Marxist Theology (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/01/theology-marxism/). Freire's idea is that literacy means political literacy as understood in the Marxist way: formal education is bourgeois and Critical Education is a revolutionary praxis that can transform the oppressive state of the world. Freire's point, though, is positively religious, in the Johnnine sense in that his goal is to teach the word so the conscious can learn to speak the world. Join James Lindsay to unpack even more of what it means that all of our children now go to Paulo Freire's Marxist Sunday Schools.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 71 Critical Education Theory Series, Part 7 Just as we have learned here on the New Discourses Podcast that we live in Herbert Marcuse's world (https://newdiscourses.com/2021/01/how-not-to-resolve-the-paradox-of-tolerance/) today (and that's why it's so messed up), we also need to understand that our children all go to Paulo Freire's schools. Therefore, we have to spend some time getting to know Paulo Freire and his approach to education, now called Critical Pedagogy or Critical Education Theory (https://newdiscourses.com/tag/critical-education-theory/), and we need to know it deeply. To serve that goal, the New Discourses Podcast has undertaken a long series on Critical Education Theory, filled with several miniseries. Here, it begins a miniseries exploring Paulo Freire's book The Politics of Education: Culture, Power, and Liberation (https://amzn.to/3IJ4ZOT), published in 1985, in considerable depth, revealing exactly what Freirean education is about. Though the introduction to this book, by Henry Giroux, already counts for two episodes of the New Discourses Podcast in this broader series, in this episode, James Lindsay begins his deep-dive directly into Freire's work. This book, The Politics of Education, is nothing short of revelatory, not least because it is the book that succeeded in getting Freire to be taken seriously throughout colleges of education throughout North America. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James tackles the first two chapters of this book, giving a broad overview of Freire's general approach and beliefs about the act of study and two visions for education: one "ingenuous" and the other Critical. In the second of these, we see how Freire redefines "literacy" so that it becomes the site of a new Marxian Theory. Freire's Marxist (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/01/theology-marxism/) and Hegelian (https://newdiscourses.com/2021/05/hegel-wokeness-and-the-dialectical-faith-of-leftism/) roots are clearly exposed in just these first two chapters, as are his generally religious disposition with regard to Marxism. Join James to understand how Freire, through this book and his other work, transformed our education system into Marxist Sunday School, five days a week, bearing in mind that nearly all of our kids go to Paulo Freire's schools.

A little improv… What is creativity?  Go.  (frozen pause) Ummm. It's green? Yes, and…It crawls. Yes, and… it morphs like a caterpillar into a butterfly. Yes, and… it can be venomous, like a snake. On this week's podcast, guest Nina Hart challenges our notions about what is art and who gets to do it. She tells us about her journey to heal what she calls her “heartbroken artist.” Nina shares how she finally freed herself from criticism, judgment and creative blocks that silenced and shamed her. She offers all of us a portal into our own spontaneous impulses, our sparks of creativity.  Nina teaches us what she calls “writing from the top of your head.” She introduces us to a writing prompt she calls “small and crappy,” a medicine for the perfectionism that inhibits us.  She also challenges each of you to participate in a small and crappy writing exercise. Give it a try and send us your results. We will make art of it. Everything, including aging, is art, according to Nina Hart. And there's a plot twist we could all use.
