Bo and Ben discuss wokeism, a nearly religious ideology which is ardently held by many of today’s educated elites. Both believe that wokeism is inimical to liberalism because it challenges liberal values such as due process, free speech, and a reverence for liberal civilization. They argue that it likely arose and spread for a variety of reasons, some noble, some cynical, some malevolent.

Whatever the cause of its rise, Bo and Ben both agree that it is here to stay, at least for the short term. They end by discussing its consequences, and its likely trajectory.
