I studied global business. Wokeism won't rule the world as each country has a different culture, language, laws, people, and history. They will reject it as America trying to shove its culture down their throats.<p>Everyone being woke causes diversity problems. In school we learn to develop logic, reason, critical thinking to develop our own ethics and morals and way of thinking. Diversity has strength where if everyone had the same mindset they wouldn't be able to see problems and issues anymore and the people who could are not being hired because they aren't woke.
Cowen asks<p>"If not woke, then what?
Another question is what are the alternatives to woke. Some people are going to be extremists no matter what." He then writes, absurdly, that the alternative to wokeism is QAnon.<p>Charles Murray recently wrote a book about an alternative to wokeism, "Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America". He says we should acknowledge that not all racial disparities are due to racism and that we should prize equal treatment under the law, not equal outcomes.
