Episode notes
The Third Awokening
- Cancel culture and attacks on history are not deviations, but accelerations of pre-existing left-liberal ideas.
- These ideas, focused on making historically marginalized identity groups sacred, go back a century.
Woke Phenomena Analysis
- The woke phenomenon has multiple potential causes, including liberal progressivism, compassion, meta-Marxism, and emotional influences.
- Young women are particularly susceptible to woke ideology, potentially due to misplaced maternal instincts.
Female Influence on Wokeism
- The increased female domination of universities, particularly in humanities and social sciences, might be contributing to woke ideology's prevalence.
- Women generally support the dominant moral order, which is currently woke, but this could change if the dominant ethos shifts.
