[tweet] / #NMUSBloombergOpinionTylerCowen "Too many critics of wokeism make the mistake of focusing on purely local status relations. They are obsessed with the influence of woke forces in their intellectual communities -- their universities, their media universe, and so on. Oddly but perhaps appropriately, this is exactly the mistake that the woke themselves make.

"The French clearly see wokeism as a carrier of American cultural influence. 'French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas -- specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism -- are undermining their society,' the New York Times reported in February".
Supplementary: #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesNorimitsuOnishi "Emboldened by these comments, prominent intellectuals have banded together against what they regard as contamination by the out-of-control woke leftism of American campuses and its attendant cancel culture.
Pitted against them is a younger, more diverse guard that considers these theories as tools to understanding the willful blind spots of an increasingly diverse nation that still recoils at the mention of race, has yet to come to terms with its colonial past and often waves away the concerns of minorities as identity politics." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/09/world/europe/france-threat-american-universities.html #ToponymEuropeFrance #MetaphorThreatExistential #OrgClassifPPFRRenaissanceREEmmanuelMacron #OrgClassifPPFRRenaissanceREJeanMichelBlanquer #CatchcryCancelCulture #OrgFRParisOperaAlexanderNeef #OtheringCaricatureImperialismBlackfaceBlackingUp #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNWord #OrgClassifPPFRRassemblementNationalRNMarineLePen #NewspaperFRBrdshtLeMonde #ToponymAmericaNorthCanadaOntarioToronto #IRLScholarStephaneBeaud and #IRLScholarGerardNoiriel (2021).

Supplementary: #MagazineAUQuilletteMattMcManus "conservatives decry postmodernism for undermining belief in traditional epistemological and moral standards. These criticisms are not especially powerful, since they are largely predicated on a nostalgic desire to hold onto those specific standards regardless of their tenability... Postmodern conservatives increasingly regard strong truth claims about knowledge and morality with active suspicion and even hostility. This is because they regard the intellectual and cultural 'elites' who produce knowledge and popularize moral norms as progressive, abstract, and unlikely to sympathize with their concerns. Rather than attempting to formulate alternative claims about knowledge and morality which might have some epistemic and meta-ethical tenability, postmodern conservatives reject even these standards. Instead, they largely appeal to identity as the locus for epistemic and moral validity. This is, in turn, used to rally political support for a given agenda designed to restore that identity to power." https://quillette.com/2018/05/17/emergence-rise-postmodern-conservatism/ #TheoryPostmodernConservatism #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated

#WebsiteTheConversationLeonorGoncalves "Peterson argues that, like humans, lobsters exist in hierarchies and have a nervous system attuned to status which 'runs on serotonin' (a brain chemical often associated with feelings of happiness).
The higher up a hierarchy a lobster climbs, this brain mechanism helps make more serotonin available. ... According to Peterson, hierarchies in humans work in a similar way - we are wired to live in them." https://theconversation.com/psychologist-jordan-peterson-says-lobsters-help-to-explain-why-human-hierarchies-exist-do-they-90489

Addendum: postmodernism's focus on contingency leads you towards infinite variation i.e. the a priori of the uniquely differentiated individual (where identity is the only commonality). Paradoxically, this is in contradiction with a social-conservative position, which is simultaneously centred around the a priori individualism and the a priori of shared values albeit ones, which are fixed and necessarily unchallengeable (because of their supposed absolute certainty/truth) e.g. 'family values', 'Christian belief' etc. The problem then for social-conservatives is not postmodernism's centring on the individual but in its attacks of what is understood to be sacred/sacrosanct - in short, *tradition*. #TheoryPostmodernContingency #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation #PoliticsConservatismTraditionalist #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #NarrativeValuesFamily
