Where There's Woke Thomas Smith
-
- Sociedade e cultura
Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'

WTW49: Anti-woke Law Professor Swears DEI Took His Job
Folks, there are anti-woke crybabies, and there are anti-woke crybabies, and then there is Scott Gerber. Scott Gerber may be the new leader in the WTW clubhouse for pathetic, egomaniacal anti-woke manbabies. You might not recognize the name, but you likely will recognize this joke of an article he wrote defending Clarence Thomas, "Supreme Court justices are allowed to have friends." Believe us when we say, Scott Gerber's victim complex when it comes to his own life makes the Clarence Thomas article look like the dudes from The 300.
Lydia's got the story for us, and you won't want to miss it.

WTW48: There Once Was a Jordan Peterson MBA Program. What Happened to It?
This wild ride into JBP's dealings wouldn't be the same without a deeper dive into the MBA Fellowship he "founded" and a look into how he conducts the rest of his businesses. Spoiler: like the man himself, it's all just really strange.
And we talk about Mikhaila Peterson, the OG meat-eater, for the first time in this series!

WTW47: Jordan Peterson's Research Lives In Canada, You Wouldn't Know It
Part 6 of Junk Science and So Much Grift: The Jordan Peterson Story
It's finally here!!! Our coverage of the long-awaited missing study and fraud-adjacent activity committed by Jordan Peterson. Were Brophy and Peterson just making shit up? Or was there a top secret study no one published? Also where did Peterson's research money go? This all sure seems sketchy AF.

WTW46: IDK What You Think You're Measuring But It's Not Political Correctness
Part 5 of Junk Science and So Much Grift: The Jordan Peterson Story
Just wait until you hear some of these questions in the "PC Battery." They are not measuring anything remotely useful. It's actually hilarious. Lydia and I play a game of making the rubric and grading each other's political correctness points, based on our best attempt to estimate what Brophy would have done. It's nonsense!
What are the factors in reality? They aren't what JBP and Brophy think.

WTW45: The Brophy Study Is Wrong In Nearly Every Possible Way
Part 4 of Junk Science and So Much Grift: The Jordan Peterson Story
This study was so fucking bad that we needed to call an actual expert just to make sure we weren't missing something. Turns out, we WERE missing something. Actually, a lot. But the things we were missing were ways that the study sucks even more than we knew! Dr. Janessa Seymour has the breakdown!

WTW44: Junk Science and So Much Grift: The Jordan Peterson Story
Part... 3? It's kinda part 2... but also part 1 in a way...
Well however you look at it, this episode begins a series looking at the awful science Jordan Peterson uses to make wild claims about the PC/Woke left. It's so much more terrible than you can imagine, AND, it all comes down to... a non-peer-reviewed Master's Thesis.
