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

2.0

Eh... it's drivel. I, too, am interested in the problems within the concept of identity politics. I was hoping for some well-researched insight. The authors set up postmodernism and critical theory as such an incomprehensible straw man that it is hard to take them seriously. Like any school of thought, postmodernism and critical theory are subject to real and serious critique. This ain't it.
