Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”

At this point I think it's fair to say that "woke" is best understood as a thin proscribing term, it simply means "bad" or "not good". For historical reasons it has connotations of leftwingery or some such, but its actual denotation is merely The Bad, if you judge the semantics by its actual use.

Be skeptical of much of cutting edge science. Science often settles very slowly and a large part of what is published won’t stand the test of time (as measured in weeks or months). On this theme see my book Trust Issues. Hopefully out next year.
