The End Goal of Wokeness | Nathan Cofnas

Brain in a Vat

What is the underlying logic of woke ideology? Is it consistent, and can it justify the pursuit of equality of outcome, such as redistributing wealth and land?

Cofnas discusses the origins and evolution of wokeism, the moral and empirical premises underlying it, and the political dynamics between conservatives and liberals.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the ongoing debates around equity, discrimination, and social justice.
