Proof-of-Woke: A way of seeing that can't be unseen, no matter your ideology. Eg. you can't unsee Rodney King beating or see cops the same way afterwards. You can only own or disown it. Woke fails when it settles for less than this can't-unsee-it standard for changing minds.

I'm thinking about Farocki's intro to Inextinguishable Fire &the refusal to image, "When we show you pictures of napalm victims, you'll shut your eyes. You'll close your eyes to the pictures. Then you'll close them to the memory. And then you'll close your eyes to the facts."

I thought Proof-of-Woke was a method of unforgeable vote-weighting in distributed consensus systems, wherein virtue signalling is required to take the form of cold hard cash rather than mere talk from accounts of questionable provenance.
