Yes I agree. Once you get a past a threshold of "woke" there are lots of traps trying to tell you what the real woke is.

And it's so easy to fall for one of these traps and convince yourself you've really got the tiger by the tail, when in reality you've just fallen for a different type of story.

Digging ourselves out of these mental holes can make for a lifetime of work, but heightened awareness and lowered ego can speed up the journey.

Being humble, yes. Acknowledging your shortcomings and working to improve them. Yes. Reminds me of some the Higher Side chats I used to listen to.

Yes. And we must help each other out of the pits as well, because the media is working against us and against our awakening. The modern media's job is to wrangle people in to mental compliance, to control the overton window, not to inform. Thankfully there are a few counter-culture media sources, but it's a swamp we all have to wade through carefully
