Reddit mentions of Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race

Missed this one. I'm curious now, but his right and decision not to keep it up. Guessing he judged it as having a bit too much Id once he cooled off.

He seems to really want this adversarial collaboration with Robinson, but why not in the interest of charity also check out some more disparate thinkers, especially on racial questions he's engaging with anyway?

I know he's recently reviewed Chomsky and Foucault, but maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to read some non-white male leftist theorists like Robinson recommends. I hate to go totally racial-gender-identity-quota, but the only nonfiction book written by a woman I remember him reviewing was Elizabeth Warren's almost four years ago. He wrote this about getting older late last year:

>3. Less trust in any specific system, more resignation to the idea that anything useful requires a grab bag of intuitions, heuristics, and almost-unteachable skills.

>4. More willingness to assume that other people are competent in aggregate in certain ways, eg that academic fields aren’t making incredibly stupid mistakes or pointlessly circlejerking in ways I can easily detect.

> 5. More willingness to believe that power (as in “power structures” or “speak truth to power”) matters and infects everything.

And to me that suggests he might be more amenable than he used to be to reading and reviewing something like Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race?

Edit: he reviewed Hannah Arendt, too.
