According to this article, many people who decry wokeism have trouble defining the term.
When challenged in this regard, I borrow from what etiquette maven Emily Post said about manners, in an effort to calm an anxious lady who had been invited to a fancy dinner party and didn’t know what fork to use with a given course. “Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.”
In a related way, we have this definition of “empathy,” which is used in the introduction to each episode of “The Hidden Brain,” a weekly radio show syndicated on NPR: “Empathy, at a deep level, is the understanding that someone else’s world is just as real as yours.”
Every day, our nation’s face is pushed a little bit further into the toilet.
Gotta love the creativity, and certainly the sentiment, that is captured by the artist whose work we see here.
In reality, however, Lady Liberty should be depicted sitting with slumped shoulders, tears rolling down her cheeks.
There has never been a moment anything like the present in U.S. history. A sociopathic criminal in the White House, bolstered by traitors in both Congress and the Supreme Court.
It’s always encouraging to see the emergence of another brilliant astrophysicist into our culture — not that his message here is particularly encouraging.
