Unraveling Postmodernism | Wokal Distance | EP 71

This episode was recorded on April 14th, 2023.

Wokal Distance is a writer and explainer of "woke-ness," postmodernism, and Critical Theories such as Critical Race Theory and Radical Gender Theory. He researches telos and the Logos with the aim of restoring objective meaning to our postmodern world. He is a visiting fellow at the Center for Renewing America, where he works with Chris Rufo to uncover these ideas. His work seeks to bring clarity to the worldview underlying the new radical Social Justice movement. With this work, he endeavors to recover the Logos from its place of obscurity, and restore it to prominence in western civilization.
