Ah, the sunny, innocent days of 2016. That was when MTV’s beyond-the-cringe 2017 New Years Resolutions for White Guys video first introduced me to the word woke. Back then, it was some frail, beta-soy nobody imploring his fellow cucks to “Stop bragging about being Woke.” See, back then, ‘woke’

I have a love-hate relationship with Richard Dawkins. On the one hand, I often find his pretensions to philosophy ill-informed and annoying. I mean, he openly professed ignorance of epistemology, after writing a book on what was, in fact, epistemology (The Magic of Reality: How We Know What’s Really
