How to Respond to Wokeness | TPP #91 | Duncan Reyburn

from The Pioneer Podcast · host The Pioneer Initiative

In this episode of the Pioneer Podcast, Duncan Reyburn explores the deep philosophical roots of modern identity politics, showing how G.K. Chesterton diagnosed today's cultural crises over a century ago. The conversation traces the origins of "wokeness" back to late medieval philosophies that wage a "war on reality" by forcefully declaring truth rather than discovering it. Ultimately, Duncan explains that the best antidote to this resentment-driven ideology is recognising our human limitations and cultivating gratitude.
