"Freedom of speech and political correctness are recurrent and contentious topics in contemporary society. The present study (N = 300 North-American adults) aimed to advance empirical knowledge on these issues by investigating how cognitive ability and trait emotional intelligence predict individuals' support for freedom of speech and concern for political correctness, considering empathy and intellectual humility as mediating variables. We demonstrate that both trait emotional intelligence and cognitive ability uniquely predict less concern for political correctness and more support for freedom of speech. Mediation through empathy slightly suppressed the effects of cognitive ability and emotional intelligence on concern for political correctness, whereas intellectual humility no longer served as a mediating variable in the overall path analysis. Possible mechanisms, implications, and avenues for future research are discussed." https://econtent.hogrefe.com/doi/epdf/10.1027/1614-0001/a000385

Addendum: this thesis seems to suggest a narrow definition of intelligence, which implicitly locates caring (political correctness) within culture while positioning cognitive ability, as a positivistic absolute, outside of culture. #CatchcryDifferingOpinionsAsNeutralPerspectives #TheoryRomanticismExistingOutsideOfCulture #EpistemologySociallyConstructed

Addendum: response to tweet where #IRLSportspersonToddBowles, who is #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfrican, responds to questions, which assume his expertise in discussing issues related to identity and #PhenomnCulturalHegemony (following the logic, "he's black, so he must be an expert of everything black-related" - as if, the colour of one's skin is the only qualification required in such circumstances). He is a #OrgUSNFL coach, who clearly has expertise and therefore authority to discuss the ins-and-outs of sports coaching.

Supplementary: #WebsiteUKNovaraMediaJonasMarvin "Trussonomics wasn't some kind of elite vanguardism, but rather a 'hauntology': incapable of escaping history, it was a deferral to models of past Tory glory, in particular Thatcher's 'heroic years'. At their core, hauntologies symbolise the absence of strategy - an absence made clear by the markets when they exercised one of the biggest displays of raw class power in recent history. Neoliberal gatekeepers, such as Andrew Bailey and the Bank of England, showed in practice the difference between pure neoliberalism as an unmoored ideology and the financial power of a neoliberal system whose interest in the stability and maintenance of its legal, economic and political dominance trumps all." https://novaramedia.com/2022/10/26/the-tory-crisis-didnt-start-with-liz-truss-and-it-wont-end-with-her/ #OrgClassifPPUKConservativesLizTruss #PoliticsCapitalismNeoliberalism #BrandUKBankOfEnglandAndrewBailey #OrgClassifPPUKConservativesMargaretThatcher #TheoryHauntology (Derrida, Jacques, 1993, p.10).

Addendum: this argument feels very selective i.e. that so-called #TauntLeftThe are naive/ignorant about economics whereas the #CharacterisationRightWing aren't. Case in point, consider the logic of #PhenomnBrexit where as #EDUUKUniversityOfOxfordNgaireWoods explains, such decision-making clearly has little to do with economics:

#MetaphorVersusHardSoft i.e. "la droite" [the right] are cast as strong where as #TauntWoke are cast as childish / ineffectual / #PhenomnAgencyHumanPowerlessness - and because of the oppositional framing of the metaphor - they are also presumably, also not #CharacterisationRightWing i.e. they are presumably its opposite - #TauntLeftThe - that is, #MetaphorVersusRightWingLeftWing
Supplementary: Analysing this meme using Conceptual Metaphor Theory i.e. http://folksonomy.co/?keyword=53608 would position the absurdity (and incongruous nature) of a child's toy car being on the motorway as a 'source domain' and an assumed relationship between supposed "la droite" + "le wokisme" groups as the target domain. In mapping the latter (target) onto the former (source) the resulting concept is that 'woke' are an absurd incongruity. I can only assume that such characterisations provide comfort for those characterised in terms of #TheorySociologySocialInertia

"It has been over 33 years since hundreds if not thousands of unarmed peaceful pro-democracy protesters were killed in Beijing and the arrest of tens of thousands of demonstrators in cities across China.
The protesters, based in Tiananmen Square in central Beijing, were peacefully calling for political and economic reform. In response, the Chinese authorities responded with overwhelming force to repress the demonstrations.
Military units were brought in and unarmed protesters and onlookers were killed en masse. The Chinese government has never acknowledged the true events surrounding the Tiananmen massacre. It remains a contentious topic in China, with authorities banning all mention of the protest even today.
The Chinese authorities want everyone to forget that they killed hundreds, if not thousands, of unarmed peaceful pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989." https://www.amnesty.org.uk/china-1989-tiananmen-square-protests-demonstration-massacre (18 May 2023).
