#360 – Tim Urban: Wokeism, Cancel Culture, Social Justice, Marxism & Liberalism

If I can guess your opinion on a number of issues based on your opinion on one of them (climate change, gun control, immigration, etc), it’s clear your views are based on ideology instead of information.

There’s an incentive for journalists at large organizations to lie in order to get clicks. If it happens, the journalist looks bad. If the lies get called out, the organization takes the reputation hit.

Wokeness is a huge concern because it’s done something that a radical political movement shouldn’t be able to do today - it’s hijacked institutions across the country (universities, tech companies, medical journals, etc) and aims to destroy our liberal democracy.

Universities promote themselves as idea labs when they’re actually echo chambers.
