The rise of woke ideology in academia, coupled with the decline of classical education and critical thinking has encouraged students to abandon nuanced thinking. Consequently, universities produce more opinionated yet ill-informed students. While signs of "peak woke" are emerging in corporate and public spheres, the continued advance of wokeism risks severe backlash, potentially leading to further social division and erosion of fundamental American values.

Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, a classicist, and military historian. He is the author of hundreds of articles, book reviews, and newspaper editorials on Greek, agrarian, and military history and essays on contemporary culture.

    We are fortunate to have a man of the intellectual breadth as well as the integrity of Victor Davis Hanson in our discourse.

    Another awesome discussion. I have something to put in my earphones while doing yard work!

    Their ignorance (lack of knowledge because of inexperience) is not equal to my knowledge. Too many experts are required to misunderstand their subject of expertise.

    Pet Peeve: They don't understand how Nation States evolved, and why. Tribes, Greeks, Feudalism, similar developments in China/India. It is amazing how little we know nowadays.

    There's going to be a backlash, and I'm not worried about it. I'm looking forward to it.

    Wokeism has gone too far. But not every woke activity is wrong. Statues are not necessarily history. Removing a statue, put in place in the Jim Crow era to memorialize a southern general, is different than renaming a university whose founding family built the damn thing. While I agree wokeism has gone too far, some of his examples/comparisons are poor.
