Uncertain Things

In Defense of Exclusion (w/ James Lindsay)

December 19, 2025·2h 8m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Adaam is joined by James Lindsay, author of Cynical Theories and founder of New Discourses, to play the epistemology drinking game: you take a shot every time either speaker uses the word! They talk about how higher education in America became a racket, whether we can revivify classical liberalism in the age of social media, whether we need to exclude bad actors from the public discourse, whether James’ Twitter persona is a force for good or for chaos, and how to tell a PsyOp when you see one. They of course also discuss the “woke right,” Tucker Carlson, and why scapegoating Jews is still the rage.Uncertain Things is hosted and produced by Adaam James Levin-Areddy and Vanessa M. Quirk.
