I came to the conclusion about biases back in high school, and IMHO, what people call woke is just the stupidest idea to fight them I've ever heard: forcing counter-biases on everyone, including people who are not initially biased (relatively speaking).
We should have stronger requirements for education in mathematical logic, and perhaps probability theory in schools instead of teaching countless anecdata.
