Get ready to challenge your perception of racial equality in psychoanalysis as we sit down with Professor Wilfred Reilly. We tackle the recent report from the American Psychoanalytic Association and dissect the Maoist struggle sessions, as we question how race is used as a social distortion by lefties. Expect some surprising insights as we critique racial analysis in psychology, highlighting how complex data can be oversimplified and emphasizing the need to acknowledge counterfactuals when considering "racism's" effects.

Ever wondered how the world's most racist countries are ranked? We analyse the methodology of World Population Review and discuss the implications of asking people about their comfort levels when raising issues of racism. We don't shy away from contentious topics as we explore 'Kendism", radical leftism, and the potential implications of a governing body overseeing racial equality. We question Ibram Kendi's argument that statistically significant differences between large groups can only be due to racism, and what this means for future discussions about racial equality.

Towards the end of the conversation, we examine the societal shift from traditional psychotherapy methods to radical subjectivism, bringing about an increased neurotic avoidance of risk. We're critical of the spread of hysteria and the impact of critical theory on our mental health diagnosis. Finally, we dive into the 'woke' movement, looking at the rejection of biological sex and the implications for women's sports, gender roles, and dating. It's a dynamic and thought-provoking conversation you won't want to miss.
