Naomi Wu is an excellent engineer and a luminary for the DIY space.

First of all, it is obvious that society isn’t already leftist. If you’re citing “many quarters of society howling in disagreement”, you’ll have to show me to 1) the data and 2) this somehow changes the actual nature of our society. Do you actually think that we live in a leftist society? I certainly do not see a plurality of worker co-ops walking down the street, and last I checked, the vast majority of the means of production are still privately owned. I am not going to explain my argument again as to why this gives critical theory a leftist bent.

Your argument seems to be motivated by the fact you don’t like some of the conclusions drawn out by academics in the humanities because they don’t fit your priors. To me, it’s obvious you fall right Dunning-Kruger’s trap, having read and understood virtually nothing about the subjects in question if you’re citing “cyborg techno feminism” as an example of “Marxist devolution”. You’re really proving the point here that a lack of engagement with the humanities leads to a lack critical thinking.

So to be it's obvious that you're wrong, and the reason we disagree is because none of this is in any way precise or rigorously defined!

Dunning-Kruger is a garbage paper lol. Go read it. It's a good example of non replicable psychology research. People quote it mindlessly having never read it, without realizing they're Dunning-Krugering themselves by doing so.
