Woke People Don_t Know How To Research

A student spends three hours watching TikTok videos. She emerges convinced she understands systemic racism. A journalist reads a single study and declares a consensus. An activist shares a screenshot of a headline without clicking the link. The woke generation has confused information gathering with critical thinking.In this episode, I examine the research failures of contemporary progressive activism. The problem is not a lack of information. The problem is a lack of methodology. Woke research typically begins with a conclusion and then searches for evidence to support it. Confirmation bias is celebrated as consciousness raising. Sources are judged by identity rather than accuracy. A white male academic is presumed wrong. A marginalized influencer is presumed right. Primary sources are ignored. Secondary summaries are treated as authoritative.The result is a movement that confidently asserts falsehoods because the algorithms have trained its members to mistake repetition for truth. The irony is that the scientific method, peer review, and evidence-based reasoning were developed precisely to combat the biases that woke culture has normalized.Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because good intentions do not excuse bad methodology.
