Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity-And Why This Harms Everybody by Helen Pluckrose, James Lindsay

4.0

This book gave me a lot to think about. I don't agree with everything the authors put forward, but I appreciated their attempt to articulate and refute some common claims. I think I better understand my own values and where I agree or disagree with the items discussed in this book, which feels like a solid win for me.

One caution: This book is super-dense. It took a lot of work to read and reread enough to comprehend it.
