This was a timed post. The way these work is that if it takes me more than one hour to complete the post, an applet that I made deletes everything I’ve written so far and I abandon the post. I made the table for this beforehand. You can find my previous timed post here.

It appears Labour will allow the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act to proceed, but with both arms tied behind its back. Progressive illiberalism is simply too close to the hearts of Left-wing activists to be jettisoned. The bill is a shadow of its former self, and is therefore unlikely to prevent no-platforming, cancellation mobs or the chilling of academics through the extended opaque disciplinary processes which I experienced several times at my former university.

Wokeness, as I define in my new book, The Third Awokening, is “the making sacred of historically marginalized race, gender and sexual identity groups.” The ideology’s adherents pursue a form of cultural socialism, agitating for equal outcomes (“Diversity, Equity”) and emotional-harm protection (“Inclusion”) on these groups’ behalf. Woke ideology has swept the Western world and, increasingly, helped to determine elections.

Our third essay is by Eric Kauffman, who is Professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham. What happens in a country without cultural conservatism?

Each time we say yes when we mean no, we leak away our power. By Eric KaufmannMe, a people pleaser? No way. I’m an independent-minded, self-determined leader — or so I believed for years — until a specific high-stakes strategy session with my team. As Melissa rose to present her pitch, I already knew where she was going. I also knew I hated the idea and she’d been socializing it for two weeks. As she presented, I mentally prepared my rebuttal.

What follows is an updated and expanded version of the short piece I published at Unherd four days ago. Whereas I had thought the authors of a paper claiming discrimination against minority scholars in academia were only guilty of burying their key findings while touting weak results, it now looks like their results are garbage: a result of sloppiness, mendacity, or both.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is on the ropes these days, and it’s a big problem for institutions that have invested deeply in this belief system. One way to rescue the enterprise is to tout new scientific results which buttress the claim that minorities and women are discriminated against in academia. Ergo the need for affirmative action.

I thank Russell Greene for his rich, critical review of my recent book The Third Awokening (“Equal Rights, not Equity,” August 6). Russell and I agree that woke cultural socialism, with its exclusive focus on achieving equal outcomes and psychological harm protection for minorities, reduces human flourishing in society.
