Journalist and author Michael Shellenberger argues that wokeism is the dominant religion of elites in the West, complete with guilt, original sin, taboos, saints, devils, and the promise of redemption and immortality. How do we escape the woke matrix? Shellenberger offers a guide.

Shellenberger delivered this lecture to UATX's Forbidden Courses students on June 26, 2023 in Dallas, Texas. The Forbidden Courses bring together courageous thinkers and students to explore the great human questions of our time.

    I almost wanted to cry listening to his speech! I was a liberal, more so a conservative now, found my Catholic Latin roots, and have been Awake for awhile! I’m an RN that fought getting the jab and won! However, waking out of the matrix can be a lonely depressing place to be. However, there is no going back for me❤

    I have seen a lot of Michael over the last few years, but I have never seen him perform with this level of controlled anger This is one of the most brilliant speeches ever delivered.
  • @michaelk4740

  • @biancadelara3344
    I said it once, twice, and ill say it again, Michael Shellenberger is one of those most amazingly passionate reporters who has ever existed. One of the few with true conviction

    Most likely, no one will read this, but here it goes.... I thought it was just me who had the problem of not being able to convince family members about the horrible things going on in our country. It surprises me that a Man of such brilliance (Michael Shellenberger) has the same issues with family...
  • @Andrew-ww7qq
    He's reached that point where he's simply no longer going to filter or sugar coat his gut felt authentic beliefs. Eventually we all get there but too few have the balls to express it.

    Michael Shellenberger is profound, eloquent and powerful. Thank you for posting his lecture.

    I am impressed on this video. I did not think or expect that videos like this would stay up for 5 months. Thank You.
  • This is my first YouTube comment ever. Thank you, Michael. I spent over a decade in lefty politics and quit because I started to see bullshit everywhere. Thank you.
  • @jackkonnof4106
    I can't believe this much truth is allowed in one video on Youtube. Every person in this country needs to see this video. Too bad I have already parted ways with all the woke people that I knew and don't even have enough common ground to communicate let alone reason with. Just to see this many people listening to this man gives me hope.
  • @deborahshort7596
    God bless you, Michael Shellenberger. I read your book in 2021, so refreshing to read sanity I these times. Thank you for this genius speech that joins up so many apparently disconnected dots. So sorry to know you've been through such hardship along the way. It's testimony to your strength of character that you're still here speaking truth
  • @sabinerette182
    Wow, just wow. And many many heartfelt thanks to Mr. Shellenberger. And the institution which gave him this platform.
  • Heroes do Exist, People who fight for Truth, and Inspire other People to fight the good fight. Thank You Michael Shellenberger!
  • This is the most amazing speech! I am stunned by the incredible facts presented by Michael schellenberger. And not just the facts but his extraordinarily phenomenal ability to communicate these facts is stunning! This speech should be required for all High School and college students to watch. And it should be especially required for all Democrats to watch. They'll still deny it, because that's how they are. God bless Michael space schellenberger!
  • @thomasturner6827
    Voted Democrat all my life until I realized they do not care about my issues, they just said they cared. I feel so much more at "home" with the Republican party. Thank you. No woke is dope!
