peter boghossian, welcome to hardtalk. i think we have to begin with that word woke . it is so widely used now. i am mindful that its origins in the united states were amongst the black community who insisted, demanded that people should wake up, get woke to injustice. now, that s a positive. you invest the word with a great deal of negativity why? it s not that i invest the word with a great deal of negativity. it s that it s become a catchword. we can use other words. helen pluckrose from the author of cynical theories called it. a british writer and academic. exactly, exactly. ..called it critical socialjustice, people maajid nawaz, also from here, has called it regressive leftism, wesley yang calls it the successor ideology. so it s an ideology that goes by different names, but it basically means the same thing. there s a suite of conclusions around which it cohers. so, for example, the author ibram x kendi, says that any disparity in outcome is due to a system.
in an equity based system, we treat people in terms of outcomes. we try to jury rig the system for certain outcomes. and if somebody has oppression variables in one s past, then we. yeah, i guess he would say that you need equity to get to equality. but let s get stuck on others who are not in this studio to discuss it with us. let s stick to you and me, and let s stick to your case. this is extremely important because this is the essence of if we can both agree, which we i assume you do, that there are disparities in incarceration rates, to use your example. is the solution an equity based solution to discriminate against people, for example, white heterosexual male to try to remediate those injustices? i don t think the answer is yes. i think that the answer is equality, that we need to give every american an education of the first rate. i think we need to look at reasons that and if you want to look at it in a systems based way, i have no problem with that.
force utilities to close down, stop burning as much coal. i do think whether it s looking at issues of national security or my recent proposal, which is going to jury rig, spit up the amount of that coal production in our country by relieving them of some of the regulatory burdens in place at the epa, we should do all of the above to make sure that west virginia has a chance to recoup because it was a war on west virginia. bret: let me ask you this just quickly. if you did that, how does that match up with your small conservative values, smaller government? what you are suggesting here. do you think senator ted cruz are centered around paul would be for doing what you are proposing? i think that all of this is consistent with getting back to a place one barack obama says he s going to put a whole industry and coal miners out of business, all we are trying to do is get back to some level playing field to be able to allow coal miners to mind again.
