Depends on how much of WOKE you attribute to cultural evolution and how much to what Richard Hanania argues is the result of how courts, regulators and the private sector (complicit in the rise of HR) interpret civil rights law and the staggered longitudinal impact on various sectors of the economy...if it's not both but only one, maybe a fight is the appropriate approach, but it seems like this would be a multi-theater war that nobody can win without losing their morals. I try to find ppl with good intellectual habits and suggest non fiction for them to read which would make their aptitudes and strengths more salient in everyday life and in their own individual imaginaries. This approach creates a sustainable rapport based on mutual appreciation of share information.
Good points, Nandalai. I have found that the best work of non fiction in trying to get people to see the good in others is Jonathan Haidt's, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided By Politics and Religion. He does a masterful job in explaining the sources of the divide and how we might bridge them. Haidt is a highly respected psychologist at NYU. Perhaps you are already familiar with his book, but if not, you might want to check it out. You can probably read a few pages for free on Amazon. All the best.
Excellent book, I agree, and a great mobile bridge for crossing the canyons we encounter in the process of finding faithful interlocutors. It should be my first reading recommendation always

Yah, good points!

Thanks for the suggestion, Sir! Granted, have 700 books on my Kindle and haven't read a quarter of 'em. Ah well... :) = 😊
I hear you! :)
