=James Stephen Lindsay was born in Ogdensburg, New York. He moved to Maryville, Tennessee, at the age of five, later graduating from Maryville High School in 1997. Lindsay attended Tennessee Tech, where he obtained both his B.S. in physics and M.S. in mathematics; he later earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Tennessee in 2010.[1] His doctoral thesis is titled "Combinatorial Unification of Binomial-Like Arrays", and his advisor was Carl G. Wagner.[8] After completing his degree, Lindsay left academia and returned to his hometown, where he worked as a massage therapist.[9][10][11]
Lindsay, along with Peter Boghossian, is the co-author of How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide,[12] a nonfiction book released in 2019 and published by Lifelong Books.[13] In 2020, Lindsay released the nonfiction book Cynical Theories, co-authored with Helen Pluckrose and published by Pitchstone Publishing. The book became a Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller upon release.[14][15][16] Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker praised the book for exposing "the surprisingly shallow intellectual roots of the movements that appear to be engulfing our culture".[17] Tim Smith-Laing charged it with "leaping from history to hysteria" in a Daily Telegraph review.[18]
