      Wokeness takes the premise that all groups equal behaviorally (absent discrimination) and takes it to its logical conclusion; the outcome is discrimination, violence and chaos. Women-dominated scientific fields seem prone to capture by advocacy/politics (and become unscientific).

      I disagree -- for me (and Wikipedia) wokeness is about being aware of issues concerning social and racial justice. You seem to be taking wokeness to an extreme (that does have manifestations; but such is the case for any group) and then criticizing it for its extremity.

      For example: a "woke" person might think, in the absence of concrete evidence to the contrary, that systemic racism and economic inequality suffice to explain gaps between groups in many dimensions (say, academic performance).

      This seems an altogether reasonable position to me; we know that racism exists (if you don't believe in racism *now* somehow, you surely have to believe in racism in the past -- and the past determines the present, clearly). We know that economic power determines opportunities.

      Replying to @flancian @dpovey1

      So, since they are known relevant factors, let's remove them from the picture (fight racism and economic inequality), level the playing field so to speak, wait enough years (to attenuate cross-generational effects) -- and then see what happens. What do you object to?

      Your entire worldview is a pile of s***, but don't take it personally as you didn't invent it you absorbed it from the ambient culture. Asking what I object to is like asking a modern scientist what s/he objects to in witchcraft or alchemy: everything, the entire edifice.

      Well, you don't seem to be interested in civil discourse, but I'll give you the benefit of doubt: why do you think I am being an idiot by proposing we give social and economic reform a chance while other constructive alternatives seem missing?

      Here's what you're missing: the entire system is sealed against disconfirmation in a particularly dangerous way; namely that the thing you think is a premise "discrimination explains differences" is actually an axiom and challenging that axiom marks the challenger as an outsider

      No measures are too strong against outsiders - or better to say "heretics" - deplatforming, loss of employment, death by mob, nothing is out of bounds. This axiom is false.

      This ties into the second problem - since their axiom is always "racism did it" the more power they gain, the more power they need because racism *didn't* do it and things don't get any better. This leads to a spiral ending in massive bloodshed.

          Measures escalate from JFK wanting a black astronaut for symbolism to Nixon making official, temporary discrimination in college admissions in favor of blacks policy to the present day. As each step failed to "work" that only justifies further steps.

          The further steps are violent; obviously if nothing we do ends "racism" then we have to get extreme, right? In fact, things only seem to get worse which only proves how much power the racists have which proves how much they need to be removed from society - forcibly.
