Wokism - Quareness Series 182nd "Lecture".
What is this modern mode called wokism? Could it simply be something like an expression of energy engineered to appeal to the innocent undernourished souls of an emotionally starved consumerist culture? Perhaps more alarmingly could it be a deliberate and malicious rerouting of the innate desire for respect? These "wondering" questions appear to be of some relevance when we've been widely encouraged to regard firing people from their jobs or banishing them from restaurants for declining a medical product as an appropriate punishment for "selfish subhuman types". Indeed the idea that censoring dissent is good for freedom whilst using an unwanted pronoun is a dangerously violent act can look kinda like absurdity by design.
It's a kind of truism that over identifying with our ideas can be a dangerous drug regardless of what the ideas are. Like as for any drug this is potentially addictive...which is the truly dangerous aspect. Non-addicts can change their minds with new understanding...the addict tends to double down. Could this be the driving principle behind wokism? Let's look more closely for what may lie underneath the facade.
What we might call the global ambitions of "elites" may largely be a reflection of those psychological types with somewhat of an obsessive predatory mission in life to feed their addiction to power. The personal dynamic of the wannabe tyrant is mostly about "horizontal" relationships with whomever can help to "foot the bill". There's no real caring about the mass of "little people" as long as they can be controlled (either by force or by fog). And yet it's really all the little things we do in our own individual lives, our choices and relationships with others in our close circles, that weave the fabric of history irrespective of how many "followers" we might have. This reality is what our power hungry elites have always tried to overcome...with temporarily limited success to date. But now we're seeing the advent of a technology with capability to facilitate their managing and monitoring of all Earth's creatures "under one machine". In order to hinder their increasingly "out-in-the-open" attempts to impose a digital neofeudalism onto the world population we'd need en masse to open our eyes and ears and talk and listen to each other's unique stories with total dedication to respecting life. And if we do so with open-minded honesty, we will come to the inevitable conclusion that we've all been had.
Could it be that wokism has been invented and elevated at this point in our history precisely to prevent any real chance of our talking to each other? Has it been made so ugly and absurd that growing open to listening to each other is shut off because of sloganeering, accusations and insults? Respectfully talking only/exclusively to those who think like us leaves little chance of all standing together against the real divisive abuse. And in lockstep with this brainwashing divisiveness there appears to be a strident attempt under way in training people to deny the evidence of their own experience through insisting that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is humanity enhanced...where wokism leads?
We now appear to be witnessing the viral growth of a dehumanising tendency
- preventing people from honestly facing history, crying together for all the pain past and present, drying tears, comparing notes and coming up with a strategy for strength, love, courage, dignity and mutual support;
- diverting attention toward ridiculous matters such as portraying pronoun use as abuse whilst the real abuse is going on full force;
- bringing about a gigantic "generation gap" where children won't listen at all to their parents based on elite sponsored talking points;
- placing those whose current dominant feeling is anger in managerial positions of power so that they bulldoze over those still holding onto their human dignity.
Until we shed the burden of having to choose between siding with the boot and being under its sole, we're unlikely to see this rather anti-human trend halted. We are neither beasts nor supposed to be beastly to each other and to change course we now need to revoke our consent from those socalled "great resetters" of our past and present.
