It definitely seems like wokeism is a more serious "great filter" than war, or whatever else people assumed it was in the past. War accelerates innovation and the most significant jump in space exploration we've ever had was a dick measuring contest between two nations.

Meanwhile wokeism rots out the entity from the inside, causing the total cessation of all functionality. It could be a kind of biological limitation, that a species that reaches our stage will eat itself and get kicked back into a dark age.
