Two open comments to the Gurwinder Substack Post "Why Smart People Believe Stupid Things," that he deleted...
Coward that he is...
Here is a link to the Substack post these were comments on, only to be quickly deleted by Gurwinder…

Very nicely done, with a totally perfect example of EXACTLY what you are talking about, or “against,” right there, smack-dab in the middle of it...
And just in case you really are self deluded enough that you are missing it, I am pointing out to you (and of course to others here) that your whole bloody extremist diatribe "against" what you (and everyone similarly invested in the same ignorance) keep generating through disparate bits of disinformation, misinformation and downright stupidity, is essentially a separatist-ego driven patriarchal pot of your very own making, that you are gathering together under a label (epithet?) that you and everyone with your same similar acute and ugly bent are calling "wokeism"...
Which makes this whole post of yours merely a rather large and especially tawdry "framing," or may we say "justification," for just another nasty flavor of all the same old fascist rantings that continue to totally ignore truth, factual evidence, health, the natural world, science, and actual human history...
None of which I will attempt to direct your attention towards, most simply because it is all available for you to see, in various easily accessible public records, databases and libraries, when/if ever you actually develop some real actual curiosity (humility?) of the sort you are soooo obviously attempting now in this post of yours to fool yourself most of all into believing you actually have (let alone understand)...
Really amazing, actually... Sooo typical of all the same ignorance and self-centered narcissism that is now destroying our whole planet, yet with such a high degree of a particularly pernicious kind of false "intelligence," trying with all its might to masquerade as wisdom and understanding, and soooo clearly failing, miserably...

Am continuing to be fascinated by how you actually write about and essentially deconstruct, in some well considered ways, exactly the behavior you are clearly intending, right here in the midst of and therefore “supported” by your “deconstructions” or “reasoning,” to very intentionally act out, or “do”…
All of it together almost certainly motivated by hate, fear, prejudice, and painful identification with some extremely dysfunctional inner discontinuities, aka “personal” realms, and seemingly sublimated to such an extreme degree that they are probably tearing you apart inside, without you even realizing it…
All the while as you strike out, with some rather well considered harshness, at what is essentially your very own inner conflicted world of distortions projected outward, and then mirrored back to you… And this is of course is how you are able to hide it from yourself most of all…
Your very first baby steps towards real wisdom may just be when you become willing to see that what I am describing in these comments here IS actually what you are doing…
Therein could begin for you a transformative journey, from willfulness to willingness, through what might even become your very own personal experience and inner journey with, and through, an actual living womb of living curiosity and humility…

The “The Morning Dispatch” post, received via their daily emailed newsletter on 2.15.23, that included the Gurwinder Substack post, is here :
https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/morning/a-chemical-train-derailment-in-ohio/
Wanted to say that I really appreciated finding this post. My Notes kept handing me people who claimed Gurwinder is some kind of deep-thinking philosopher; once I saw he was a tech guy who expanded to human behavior, I was suspicious.
I subscribed to check out his writing, but I just ended it today with his deeply stupid "End of Antiracism" post. His understanding of antiracism is about as shallow as I'd expect a tech guy who hasn't spend one second examining his own priors to be.
The fact that he deleted your comments tells me the rest of what I wanted to know. Obviously he's not up for anyone else examining his priors, either.
