Dr. Peterson, James Lindsay Expose American Universities’ Woke Decline

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson Discusses the Woke Takeover of American Universities

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson engaged in a captivating discussion with author and mathematician Dr. James Lindsay, exploring their personal experiences with the woke takeover of American universities. Lindsay shared his disillusionment with the education system after realizing the extent of bureaucratic control over students’ education. At the University of Tennessee, Lindsay was shocked to discover that he could only fail one student at a time.

This experience motivated Lindsay to expose the flaws in the American education system and restore it to its original purpose as a hub of intellectual debate and discovery. After a brief period as a massage therapist, Lindsay, along with his wife and a friend, devised a brilliant plan to expose the perversion of the university ecosystem.

They decided to write numerous fake academic articles on feminist theory, gender studies, and other woke postmodern topics, submitting them to prestigious peer-reviewed journals. Astonishingly, their experiment yielded a high success rate, with seven out of twenty fake papers being published.

One particularly memorable pseudo-intellectual paper developed the concept of the “progressive stack” in education, suggesting that students with more privilege should be treated worse by their historically oppressed classmates. The paper proposed humiliating the “privileged” students by ignoring their questions, segregating their seating, and even making them wear chains. Shockingly, the paper was not only published but also received feedback suggesting that it didn’t go far enough.

Dr. Peterson and Lindsay shared their stories of witnessing the decline of the university system. Lindsay recounted his shock at a respected scientific institution that had been corrupted by progressive messaging, losing sight of the goal of scientific advancement. He mentioned four professors from the University of Oregon who diverted their focus from glaciology and climate change to advocating for feminism in the field. They argued that studying paintings of glaciers by women and incorporating indigenous perspectives and mythologies were necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the science.

Dr. Peterson highlighted the alarming fact that 75% of research papers in the University of California state system go unread because they don’t meet Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion criteria. This statistic left Lindsay astonished.
