The contrary claim is rather preposterous, which is that all of the categories that we use to structure our interactions with other people are based on the power distortion of our perceptions, let's say, which is essentially a... and postmodern claim. And Lee became infamous, at least in part, because he showed that our perceptions, our stereotypes, if you will, are mostly accurate.

There are sources of bias, and they do enter into the process, and they're relevant. But that's a very different claim than that the foundations of our perceptions themselves are indistinguishable from the biases we hold as motivated agents. And so... His work is extremely important. It's core to the culture war that is tearing us apart.

So, if you're interested in the definition of perception, the relationship between perception and reality, and the analysis of bias in a manner that's credible, then pay attention to this podcast and get things cleared up. So I guess we might as well get right to the point.

And the first thing I'm curious about is, and this is something I think that can be fairly definitively laid at the feet of social psychologists, was that there was an absolute denial that anything like left-wing authoritarianism existed, even conceptually, literally until 2016. Yeah, that's right. For 60 years. I came across that and I thought...

what do you mean there's no such thing as left-wing authoritarianism? We know that. It's like, that's insane.

And then there were a couple of papers published in 2016 on left-wing authoritarianism in the Soviet Union. That was the first... breaking of that dam. I did a master's, I supervised a master's thesis at that time. It's a very good thesis on left-wing authoritarianism. And because we showed that there were statistical clumps of reliably

characterizable left-wing authoritarian beliefs that did in fact associate statistically and that identifiable groups of people with identifiable temperamental proclivities did hold. I really wanted to follow up on that because it was very rich potential source of new

information but my academic career exploded at that point it became impossible so people have taken that have taken that ball and run with it yeah yeah so well yeah yeah tell us about it what have you found well okay how do you let's let's start with some definitions like what constitutes left wing as opposed to right wing authoritarianism let's say right so there are measurement
