This is an Elleven Labs voice-over of an essay I released a while ago on my Substack titled "The Post-Woke Age: Making Sense of Mamdani, AI Job Loss and the 'Vibe Shift“ A Post-Woke Age,” (Part 3 of my Genealogy of Wokeism series). In this essay, I argue that the Fourth Awokening is exhausting itself while AI-driven white-collar displacement could produce a Fifth Awokening through a broader crisis of elite overproduction. I also examine the return of class politics, the appeal of neoreaction, whether a “woke right” really exists, Zohran Mamdani’s rise, the left’s inability to learn from defeat, and the political trajectory of the Palestine movement.
