In part II of this discussion with philosopher Naomi Zack, Naomi and I finish working through some of my students' questions about her arguments against identity politics. Here are all the things we cover: Min 2: Question: “Don’t universal policies face pushback too?” Min 5:10: How social security overcomes the “spite factor.” Min 6:16: Affirmative action. Min 10:45: Question: "Isn’t pushback an inevitable part of moving forward? We’ve always seen pushback whenever we’ve made progress as a country.” Min 16:33: Question: “Doesn’t ‘solving problems’ oversimplifying the purpose of the government? Shouldn’t the maintenance of justice and equal treatment be part of the purpose of the government too? Min 26:30: Question:“Doesn’t avoiding pushback cede too much to racism? Does your view make white appeasement too morally and pragmatically important.” Min 28:57: Changing cultural views first. “The government is the last step.” Min 31:20: Joel expresses hope for shifting views on reparations.
