The degree to which you have retained all of the reading and research that you have obviously done is extraordinary. Not very many people are at your level in this regard. Hopefully more people like Nina and Eric Kaufmann are willing to come and debate/discuss these kinds of issues. Otherwise it will be hard to have thought provoking and well reasoned discussions.

The problem with wokeness is that it distributes oppression poi ts irrationally,if the millionaire daughter of Obama declares herself a nonbinaty 2spirit trans lesbian her needs are elevated above the starving homeless dude dying on the streets,because she shares characteristics with people who suffer. Coleman hugh supports redistribution,just not no racial basis,yet ypu wouldn't call him a leftist. Men live 6 yrs less on average and make 98% of the deaths from working accidents,yet leftists insist health care discriminates against women cuz they don't volunteer as often to have accurate treatment results. Limting group disparities shouldn't trample honesty,rationality and the rile of law. And if woke academics can convince the youth to spend resources for illegal immigrants sex changes,I don't see why can't tech right bros can't satisfy the religious hole by offering Mars colonization,or the EAs offering malaria nets for Africa.The youth are malleable we just need more Kaufmans and Scott Alexander's and Less Judith Butlers and Di Angelo's. Wokes dominate cuz they were relentless,not because their ideas were persuasive,and the new gen intellectuals have to learn from their strengths
