#410 – Ben Shapiro vs Destiny Debate: Politics, Jan 6, Israel, Ukraine & Wokeism
Lex Fridman Podcast
The Threat of Wokeism in Universities and Society
Wokeism, rooted in postmodernism, views every principle as a reflection of underlying power structures, leading to the belief that any inequality is a product of such power. This belief has evolved into a racial version where the US systems are seen as white supremacist, perpetuated by those in favor of preserving white power. This has translated into Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, with the key focus on equity, which differs from equality. Equity sees any inequality as a result of discrimination and advocates for discrimination based on race to rectify it. This victim-victimizer narrative erodes individual responsibility, undermines objective meritocracy, and poses dangers to individuals and societies, as meritocracy is the only system with positive externalities in various areas of life.
