In this week’s episode, we discuss ridiculous op-eds and letters to the editor in Nature this week, and the concept of fairness. First: gender equity for female scientists in war zones, and for women in mining. Are these laudable goals? Also: is division of labor between the sexes inherently objectionable? How does the concept of homeostasis relate to a body being given pharmaceutical interventions, a society being given equity interventions, or a government being given bureaucratic interventions? Then: level playing fields are the sine qua non of the West – they work in science, markets, politics, everything. Internet algorithms in their current state are, in comparison, anti-Western. Using the analogy of a card game, we discuss luck.

Looks like Jimmy Dore didn't have a problem defining Woke Right with 100x more clarity than James Lindsay. Neither did Dave Smith.
Apparently all you have to do is swap "racism, sexism, and homophobia" with "anti-Semitism" and run the same playbook. Censorship, cancellation, firing, guilt tripping etc. flow freely after that.
Bear in mind, these people like Dave Smith and Jimmy Dore, they don't hate Jews - Dave IS one - they just hate the government of Israel. Which is easily as diabolical as our own, fair.
