CRT is a variant of Critical Theory, a deterministic social philosophy. CT advocates assessing and criticizing all social issues through a particular approach, disregarding normal, rational debates and fact-finding. CT predetermines the answer and fits the ‘facts’ to that answer.
This is the leftist approach to issues and is the counterpart of rightist disregard of reality. Whereas Trumpism is based on Alt-Facts, CT is based on Alt-Facts plus Alt-Logic.
We would all be better off if we followed David Brooks’ suggestion of “Whole Nation Progressivism” whereby the people and leaders of America all work together to find a rational commonality of issues and practical solutions while rejecting “control of the marketplace of ideas.”

Taking Out The Trash
It is time to face the facts.
Feminists won’t like to hear this but we all must accept the reality: Men are better at taking out the trash than women are.
This is not an absolute. No scientific studies that I know of. But my keen observation(s), looking at not only my own life but so many others - the vast majority of human adult males are better at taking out the trash than their female counterparts. My shrewd estimation is that 80-85% of males are better at trash-out-of-housing than females.
This is not to say it is genetic. No arguments about Nature vs. Nurture. This is simply how things are in our present society.
I asked my wife about this. She sighed, rolled her eyes, and said:
“Dear, for once you are right.”
I consider this to be a major concession and admission on her part. It is also a major intellectual victory for me on this particular subject (Trash).
Who knows where this will go?
