1/ It seems like the core assumption of wokeness is that people don't have their own opinions.

Wokeness means waking up to the realization there are no individuals, only groups and systems.

Having one's own opinion, rather than group opinion, is an impossibility

2/ Since, in wokeness, it's impossible to have an individual opinion, that opinion has to have come from a group, because that's the only place opinions can come from.

Asserting an opinion is one's own opinion is declaring oneself to be wrong a priori.

3/ Wokeness assumes individuals can have experiences and perform actions, but cant have opinions nor perform acts of free will

In wokeness, individuals awaken to their proper role as non-sovereign tools of a sovereign eigregore

Individuals are the eyes and hands of a group mind

4/ Wokeness could only arise in the information age because only now can individuals be linked to a sufficient mass of other individuals to access the group cognition more or less in real time.

Wokeness is like nationalism 2.0

5/ First we had broadcast information which united individuals around an eigregore wealthy enough to broadcast.

Now every individual can send and receive nearly for free.

So wokeness isn't a specific eigregore, it's the ecosystem of eigregores.

Wokeness creates the substrate.

6/ Accepting wokeness as one's "lord and savior" opens one's heart to every potential God simultaneously.

A woke one's opinions must come from consensus, but consensus is fuzzy. "What do I think" is costly but "what do we think" is even more costly.

7/ To reduce the inherent cost of consensus opinion forming, wokeness requires "safe spaces" where the flux of individual experience is filtered.

Safe spaces are where new eigregores are birthed.

However, the costs don't actually change, so these eigregores are only half baked.

8/ A group of woke individuals can form consensus if they isolate themselves, but only on a few topics.

This leaves their individuals able to act on only a few topics.

It also sends the individuals off in search of consensus on additional topics.

9/ If a woke one successfully seeks out multiple eigregores they can act on more topics

Unfortunately, there is a very good chance the eigregores will overlap. So the individual will have to hold different opinions on the same topic

And a woke one cannot resolve that themselves

10/ So wokeness is a breadth first search for group consensus on all aspects of life.

Is it possible to outsource one's sovereignty to group consensus?

I want to make a pre-2020 hindsight joke here but I can't put it in words yet.
