As I predicted, the pushback against wokeness at the elite level is underway...

The entire 2020s will be spent negotiating the new equilibrium, much as the 70s was spent negotiating the new equilibrium after the upheavals of the 60s. Eventually we'll probably arrive at something that satisfies no one, but which we can at least live with.

Actually this would be a good time for me to re-up the posts I've been writing about wokeness.

First was this one about how wokeness -- or something like it -- was inevitable, because of 2000s America's gaping inequality of respect.

Then I wrote about how wokeness is actually the re-manifestation of a tendency that appears again and again throughout American history -- a Protestant-informed crusade for racial egalitarianism.

And finally I wrote about the inevitable pushback, and how it can be handled better or worse.

I think the last post in the series will be about which pieces of wokeness will endure and change American culture, and which pieces will be left in the 2010s.

But I have to think more about that.
