Thread Name: BS: What Is Woke?
Subject: RE: BS: What Is Woke?
This age may be a true renaissance as we see many of our presumptions of truth that are being disproved. The example of assuming we have a brain with a reptillian core with an emotions layer with a cerebrum for a higher control. This old fashioned notion has effected the way law is written and prosecuted. The evolution of the brain is shown to be much different by way of our gene evidence. That is not to say that predation gave rise to an evolution of thinking in animals that ate other animals and had to determine "will this eat me or will I eat this?"

Brains of some other species are remarkable and not as instinctive as we thought. Only humans can convey meaning and emotions around the world without being seen or heard with mere words. Whales had low frequency long distant communication until the oceans have become too noisy with human ships.

Social and market assumptions regarding monopolies and just in time production and distribution systems needs revamping as the pandemic has shown. Even the US miitary is finally calling a spade a spade when it comes to real mysterious objects.

So the false old timey dogmas may be changing faster than in previous decades. Thats a woke I hope we get but with the controvery over a simple mask in a pandemic, it does not give me hope regarding self sacrifice and behavior change to reverse climate change,. Thankfully many other changes yet to come should come. When tethers are removed from the brain as with psylocybin there is even more creativity.
