Woke ideology replacing religion | Naval Ravikant

Click above for the video 
Thought-provoking talk: famous Angel investor and entrepreneur Naval Ravikant talks to Megyn Kelly.

He quotes Nassim Talib: “The most intolerant minority wins”. Think the Bolsheviks, think the Nazis. Both small, both intolerant minorities, both successful. (For a time, anyway…).

People need to gather. Which is why Church is so useful, not just to praise a supernatural being, but to congregate, gossip, laugh with like-minded people. If you lose the church, you must gather with different like-minded folks. 

Today on the Left, it’s the Woke. Woke folk, but not at all tolerant: Megyn gives an example: 70% of Ivy League college students believe it’s acceptable, even necessary, to shout down people they don’t agree with. 

Where do the Right gather? Still the church, I guess. Apart from we homeless-independent heterodox folk. I wish the idea of a church for atheists had come to more than it did.

The clip.
