Dislodging beliefs by inquiring into their foundations even if the inquiry initially set out to strengthen those foundations - the idea of seeking the phenomenological preconditions of the matters that constitute experience - this is shared both by spiritual practices and by everything misidentified as post-modernism (misidentified because it is implicit in and necessary to modernism) and now pervades the culture. In spiritual practice it is supposed to be a precision tool, but as part of the zeitgeist it is a sorcerer's apprentice type of catastrophe. These two aspects are, however, not separable. The name 'wokeness' is then, no coincidence, it is indirectly sustained by 'mindfulness'.
