Came across this very Southern religious guy talking about biblical interpretation, and it& #39;s probably one of the most confused things I& #39;ve ever heard because he& #39;s mashing together his own views of "innerancy" with Wokeness and some common sense. https://youtu.be/zkZF946ZTb0 ">https://youtu.be/zkZF946ZT...

He mixes the influences of what he has learned and read with who he is (standpoint epistemology), white male versus black lesbian, then kind of suggests his interpretation must be right because his understanding might turn the black lesbian& #39;s upside-down (LOL that& #39;s colonialism).

He falls into, or uses(?), the typical motte and bailey in all woke and postmodern epistemology. *Bong hit* (probably not him, tho!) Whoa, like, we all have biases, so like so do I! Therefore... we need to import racial knowledge (as its called) and critical feminism?

This is the spawn of standpoint epistemology (a radical feminist idea) as it mated with critical race Theory& #39;s interpretation of Foucault& #39;s postmodern ideas about how dominant discourses and various contingencies shape truth, mixed with biblical inerrancy. LOL. Yikes.

You can usually tell when someone is using Critical Social Justice epistemology (mostly intersectional standpoint epistemology) when they start listing multiple identity categories to make their examples. He could have left it at education, no identities. https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1248259129522692096?s=19">https://twitter.com/Conceptua...

The listing of one& #39;s own intersecting identity categories, especially in comparison to others, where the issue is knowledge(s), biases, or insights is an intersectionality ritual known as engaging positionality. Jarvis Williams does it very explicitly. https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-position-positionality/">https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-posi...

I guess this explanation of standpoint epistemology is a necessary resource here too. https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-standpoint-epistemology/">https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-stan...
