Resilience & Woke Brainwashing

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 65

One of the hottest topics in education (and beyond) right now is "resilience." Youth mental health initiatives are being launched and entrenched all over the country, not just through school counseling but also through Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) initiatives, and their goal almost always includes "fostering emotional resilience." What is meant by "resilience" in the Woke Marxist context, though? We know it must mean something. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay draws from a UNESCO source (https://mgiep.unesco.org/article/sel-for-sdgs-why-social-and-emotional-learning-is-necessary-to-achieve-the-sustainable-development-goals) and explains that "resilience" refers to the opposite of "fragility," which means taking your brainwashing well. Join him to understand why these initiatives are not at all what they seem to sell themselves to be.
