Nice ricochet.
I'm grateful to Paul Graham for actually giving a definition of "woke". Really, this is the first anti-woke essay I've seen which actually tells us exactly what the author is complaining about.
And it makes it rather abundantly clear why nobody else has given a definition of exactly what the author is complaining about.
Me as well, having a definition is useful when trying to understand someone’s perspective and I applaud him for that.
It seems that his opposition is with SJW Puritanisms and I agree with him on that point.
