"""Lindsay diagnoses the fevers inflaming our intellectual body politic. He skewers the nonsense that Left and Right take for conventional wisdom. He illuminates the principles of liberal democracy while identifying the dogmatic prejudices of its detractors."" --David Kadue, author and legal scholar ""'Speaking as a . . .' The silly idea that 'lived experience' trumps objective evidence is now epidemic in America. Known as standpoint theory or identitarianism, it is the target, in its various forms, of Ron Lindsay's book. Lindsay knows a good nail when he sees it and he hits it on the head with the accuracy and force that comes from great clarity of thought. An excellent and regrettably necessary book, strongly recommended.""--Richard Dawkins"
