The federal Liberals handed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Laith Marouf, an “anti-racism” coach, who publicly called Jews “human feces” deserving a “bullet to the head, while also insulting Blacks, Indigenous people and others. As embarrassed officials scramble an “extensive review” into government anti-racism funding, Jonathan Kay, the Quilette editor who helped bring Marouf's hateful behaviour to light, joins Anthony this week to discuss how the Liberals, desperate to be woke, seemingly fell in with Marouf. And how “anti-racism” training and bigotry sometimes overlap in ways that can make haters feel at home. (Recorded September 1, 2022) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. As always, #itsokaytovent You can follow Paula on social media below: Twitter: https://twitter.com/SexyIsntSexist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/porlawright/ Subscribe to her Substack 'Dangerous Ideas' here: https://paulawright.substack.com/ Support Us: Patreon: www.patreon.com/venthelpuk GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/help-vent-supp…ir-mental-health Music: @patawawa - Strange: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d70wfeJSEvk TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast contains deep and detailed discussions about sexual abuse, which some listeners may find extremely upsetting or distressing, so please listen with caution.
THE THESIS: God almighty has heard our prayers for the lies to be exposed. As is so often the case, the Lord is using the evil-doers to His glory. THE SCRIPTURE: Exodus 5 THE MONOLOGUE: The mRNA-Mask Cult made Fauci their god Claire Lehman, founder of the Quilette, still thinks we are all “conspiracy theorists” for believing there was any evil involved in the planning & execution of this global PsyOp. “I follow of lot of smart people who are skeptical about mainstream Covid policies without being conspiratorial about it. What disturbs me is not policy skepticism, but the constant implication that something conspiratorial is going on, that the ‘elites' are out to get us . . . It's simply another form of identity politics that flattens reality; obscuring more than clarifying.” Yeah … the elites are a REAL GROUP and they ARE OUT TO GET US, even if only for profit → Military Documents About Gain of Function Contradict Fauci Testimony Under Oath BREAKING: Military Documents About Gain of Function Contradict Fauci Testimony Under Oath Dept. Of Defense documents establish Fauci directed gain of function research on SARS-Covid 19 virus. In 2018. THE NEWS: Brett Bayer got the okay sign to ask this question → Director Walensky says CDC will provide data on "how many of the 836,000 deaths in the U.S. linked to Covid are from Covid or how many are with Covid," and adds "Omicron has just been with us for a few weeks." CNN's Jake Tapper rips into "misleading" COVID hospitalization numbers. -- "We're 2 years into this ... if somebody's in the hospital with a broken leg and they also have asymptomatic COVID, that should not be counted as hospitalized with covid, clearly." CNN's Brian Stelter: “It's so sad, but it's true, the CDC has turned into a punchline.” When you've lost CNN's chief propagandist... you've truly, truly lost. Our next feature is brought to you by … ? Here's the thug boss of Pfizer → Two doses of the vaccine offers very limited protection, if any. 3 doses with a booster offer reasonable protection against hospitalization and deaths. Less protection against infection.” The DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS, The Fauxch said he was in favor of Big Pharma traveling papers if you want to fly in a commercial airplane If you THINK that's all … it's not.

An initiative of the World Economic Forum, the WEF describes it as follows: "There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset initiative." But what does this really mean and how might it affect nations and people?

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.

Nesta breve atualização, falo sobre os próximos episódios e minha decisão de esperar um pouco com a publicação deles, além de um artigo do Quilette.com, não relacionado ao Brasil, que me fez refletir sobre o outro lado do suposto "complexo de viralata". Até a próxima! LINKS 1) O artigo do Quilette.com https://quillette.com/2020/03/14/conceit-and-contagion-how-the-virus-shocked-europe/ 2) Documentario "Dancando com o Diabo" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXRRQ2nDL3w
This week's guest on "So What You're Saying Is...", is journalist and education campaigner Toby Young. Toby is one of Britain's best-known journalists. Now writing for The Spectator and Quilette, he founded a magazine called The Modern Review and also wrote for Vanity Fair. His best--selling book, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People", was later made into a film. He's also a champion for free schools and has founded 4 of them. His latest project is the Free Speech Union, a mass membership organisation dedicated to protecting free speech, which is increasingly under threat. The F.S.U. will be a mass membership organisation that stands up for the speech rights of its members and aims to create a more tolerant atmosphere on social media and other platforms. So if a member is targetted by a social media outrage mob for the inadvertent use of certain language, a taboo word or for dissenting from the prevailing orthodoxy, the FSU will mobilise on social media and its members will come to their defence on social media. If they are accused of something, the member will be put through some form of due process to check the evidence so that they aren't just presumed to be guilty and cast out as Sir Roger Scruton was when George Eaton of The New Statesman passed incorrect information out via social media, which led to a campaign of hate against Scruton, ultimately resulting in Sir Roger losing his position as a Government adviser. The way in which veteran ITN journalist Alistair Stewart was treated & fired is another example -- as was Toby Young's own experience at the hands of a social media mob.

I go over the wonderful Bret Stephens/bedbug saga, a now-former Quillette "journalist" possibly facing some legal issues, and the latest in the profoundly undemocratic brexit process, then Livvy Fanon joins the show to discuss the ancient art of billionaire boat murder and help shatter Canada's carefully managed and marketed image as a nation that has moved beyond its violent settler colonial roots in any meaningful way.

Yoel and Mickey discuss Kill All Normies, a book written by Angela Nagle about the online culture wars, the rise of transgressive politics, and the disappearance of moderates. But, first they discuss a new journal article titled The Paradox of Viral Outrage suggesting that online pile-ons tend to backfire Bonus: What does Mickey really think about Christina Hoff Sommers?
Jamie Kilstein was a prominent male feminist who was accused of some fairly tame stuff and consequently lost everything. I read an article he wrote for Quilette ( https://quillette.com/2018/08/31/i-so... ) and reached out and we quickly hit it off. Today on the show he went in depth about what it was like to lose it all and what he's doing to get his life back.
