Im probably not gonna chost as i read like i did porn generation, but I'll summarize my experience at the end of it.

Here's the book

Woke Inc. by Vivek Ramaswamy

a cover of woke inc. seven hands of different skin tones are doing the solidarity fist, but the Tallest and whitest fist in the center is holding money

I was interested in this book because while Vivek seems fairly normal by gop standards, his funny culture war quirk is that companies are too woke. He published this book in 2021 and started a VC firm to serve as the antithesis to stakeholder capitalism. This is his thing.

He's a very funny guy, and i expect to be thoroughly entertained by reading this. One thing im learning from hate reading is that books are a great medium for getting into someone's head because for some reason, so much more of their unfiltered thoughts make it to the final draft.

Maybe it's cuz books usually only have the authors and editors as intervening forces. So while TV, and movies, and even podcasts have bigger teams where someone can say "hey thats crazy, lets dial it back" it happens so less often in books. Idk maybe someone that knows more about book editing can illuminate me.

But i got some primo selections that let me know this is gonna be a while ride.

"Basically being woke means obsessing about race, gender, and sexual orientation. Maybe climate change too. Thats the"best definition I can give."

And also
"This new woke-industrial Leviathan gains its power by dividing us as a people. When corporations tell us what social values we're supposed to adopt, they take America as a whole and divide us into tribes. ... Corporations win. Woke activists win. Celebrities win. Even the Chinese Communist Party finds a way to win (more on that later)"

Hell yea man, tell us about how the CCP is winning from the Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light partnership. Tell us the real deal.
