The 100 year history of 'woke' (in 15 minutes) | Paul Marshall

In his ARC 2026 speech, Sir Paul Marshall explained the long march of cultural deconstruction, the crisis of meaning facing the next generation, and why rebuilding our civilisation will require a return to truth, virtue, and a positive vision of the future. __ Buy your 1st edition copy of our new book, The Age of Reconstruction: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1916948510 With the return of the ARC Conference this June, we are publishing a brand new book — the most comprehensive synthesis of ARC’s philosophy to date. Drawing on Augustine, Tolkien, and a long tradition of civilisational thinking, The Age of Reconstruction charts a path from diagnosis to renewal. While many can point out where things have gone wrong, this book does what most can’t: it lays out a vision of what we must build, how, and why it is still possible. Praise for The Age of Reconstruction: "Will Western Civilisation flourish, or flounder? It depends on us, and the decisions we make right now. And Johnny Patterson's wonderful 'The Age of Reconstruction' gives us the formula, based on timeless ideas and wisdom." — Arthur Brooks, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author __ Sir Paul Marshall is CIO and Chairman of Marshall Wace LLP, and founder and owner of OQS Media, the holding company for UnHerd and The Spectator. He is also a lead investor in GB News Ltd.
