So here's Jadie Vance, in a podcast with an extremist group, claiming that it's fundamentally wrong and ungodly to find meaning in "pursuing racial or gender equity," when, especially if you're a woman, you should be having more and more children; and that this "pursuit" is "making them sick" and is why "society is broken."

Also, journalists are "miserable" and "psychotic."

That's weird coming from him.

Vance's obvious error is that he assumes he knows when people are "miserable" and can intuit why. He actually has no expertise on this; he's just making up stories that are politically convenient for him, e.g., the cause is that they're atheists, or feminists, or care about racism, so that must be their problem. It doesn't occur to him that Christian white male Republicans might be "miserable" too. For that matter, he doesn't seem all that happy himself.

@DavidSalo I think "Sophomoric" is apt. He sounds like one of the guys debating the meaning of life in a college dorm around 1am.
