INTL. LECTURE – SERIES
We’re inside Lecture Hall 2, David Hume Building. PROFESSOR PETER JOR HANDSOME takes the platform. The Hall is packed. STUDENTS unruly. ACTIVISTS can be heard through the back doors and the hallway. One Black SECURITY stands to the left of the speaker.
PETER JOR HANDSOME
Good Morning, …humans, I guess!
In today‘s talk we shall discuss the aims and goals of those among us who define themselves as “being woke.”
STUDENT interjects:
Let’s Go, Brandon! Let’s Go Brandon!
(laughter)
PETER JOR HANDSOME
Wokeness is the euphoria about gender and race.
Euphoria in psychology is the mental state of aggravated happiness.
PROFESSOR makes it a habit to walk up and down while he speaks. As he concentrates and recalls from memory, he rarely does make eye contact with STUDENTS.
PETER JOR HANDSOME
The woke are extremely euphoric about their discovery of all the races and genders. To them getting woke is the most important thing in the world.
It is caused by excess release of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin in their brains, leading to feelings of extreme felicity. The woke people engage in the stimulation of their pleasure system by indulging in unremitting sexism and racism.
A group of ACTIVISTS make noise in the back row seats. More ACTIVISTS enter the hall from the back but can’t find seats. STUDENTS look stoic.
PROFESSOR uses hand gestures when describing the brain. He is in a heightened mood and clearly loves himself talking.
PETER JOR HANDSOME
The brain has such a pleasure center because evolution made sure that we homo sapiens were getting rewarded for things we‘d accomplished.
Now, what makes us feel accomplished? The five known human accomplishments that lead to enduring euphoria have not changed much since our ancient philosophers’ obsession with happiness and the pursuit of such. Those accomplishments are the following: Status symbols. Entertainment. Drugs. Exercise. And… Lovemaking.
(he pauses for effect)
Beyond experiencing those things, it is of course entirely possible to simulate accomplishments. For example by just reading about it in a book. Or by playing a role playing game on a computer with your friends. We even get ecstatic and excited when a player scores for our team.
Now, what exactly gives us the ultimate pleasure? Destroying other people‘s lives surely can’t be on such a list, or can it? Actually yes, destroying other people’s lives can cause excess release of dopamine and serotonin in the brain… – on ONE condition, however…
(he stands and points the finger up)
…that the destroyer feels accomplished and is rewarded!
Wokeness and the woke endlessly attack, shame and abuse the natural gender and biology among themselves and among others for sheer pleasure and in order to feel accomplished and get rewarded for it.
BLUR OUT. BLUR IN:
Camera is now focused on the PROFESSOR as he walks up and down while he talks.
PETER JOR HANDSOME
First the Case of Race. The intense pleasure derived from killing and destruction is unique to humans. At one point in our evolution, we became “aware” of us being different from other creations, especially all animals. So we squashed them. This was Woke One, or about 2 million years ago.
After humans reigned supreme over all animals, they turned against other humans and subhumans. See, homo sapiens were not the only humanoids. Homo sapiens simply destroyed other humanoid life forms such as the neanderthals and other lineages of hominins. That was Woke Two, or about 40,000 years ago.
After homo sapiens were alone and spread over the entire planet, the various factions by then had adapted to their natural environments and formed unique civilizations. They unwittingly competed against each other for supremacy. Hundreds of Ancient civilizations such as the Babylonians, the Spartans, the Ostrogoths and so on fell. Today’s remaining ones are often numbered to be just 28, 12 or just eight, depending on the historian you ask.
Those human “races” further lost their distinctive features, and it is often difficult for tourists to tell a Saxon from a Huguenot or a Korean from a Japanese. But one universal discrimination remains. We can still clearly see that there exist at least three racial groups, namely the caucasoid (Europeans), the mongoloid (East-Asians) and the negroid (Africans). This was Woke Three, or 60 years ago.
Woke Four will lead humanity to one single race only. Wokeness and the woke want to eliminate the racial distinctions once and for all. Hence their battle cry ‘Race is a social construct!’
ACTIVIST shouts
from the back:
…Because IT IS a social construct, you know!
(laughter)
STUDENT shouts:
Let’s Go, Brandon! Let’s Go, Brandon!
(more laughter)
ACTIVIST:
What does that even mean?
PETER JOR HANDSOME
Next, the Case of Gender. Each and every one of us that ever lived up to the second millennium, that is over 90 billion homo sapiens in total, was the result of a birth given by a female about 9 months after having been inseminated by a male.
Not only that biological distinction between females and males guaranteed our survival, but also the resulting social or gender roles that emerged. Both men and women made the best of their strengths and weaknesses, and they worked together and brought us to where we are today.
This strict division between the sexes and their genders over the last 300,000 years or so, however, has resulted in men and women evolving differently and excelling at different tasks. Men for example are mostly expandable soldiers, laborers and risk takers. Women are more agreeable and look after the elderly and the offspring. Most men did not procreate, but most women did. This inevitably led to a few men taking control over all resources and enslaving the rest of weaker men, and by extension they built a patriarchy in which males had to work really hard full-time to attract a female.
Wokeness and the woke want to eliminate those sex and gender imbalances, or at least force all of us to ignore them.
A fat white ACTIVIST shouts:
Misogynist! Go away!
Camera shifts to ACTIVISTS in the back. About 50 diverse and colorful protesters, mostly female. One pair of STUDENTS is seen leaving the lecture hall through the back door.
Camera shifts back to the platform.
PETER JOR HANDSOME
Now, let’s talk about the Political Dimension of Wokeness. Since European civilization proved to be the most accomplished and successful one, “white males” by definition of all the things I just said, rank at the top of the international order.
So, wokeness and the woke want to extrapolate power and wealth and status away from those whites. So they target whites. Which is racism. They target white males even more. Which is sexism.
ACTIVIST chants:
Black Lives
…Matter!
Two more ACTIVISTS join the chant, but we don’t get to see them:
Black Lives
…Matter!
PETER JOR HANDSOME
…However! It is NOT racism and sexism to them. Because to them it is just a means to ruin whites and males in the end. So, the woke justify their mission as “anti-racism” in spirit, because it would lead, as we are promised, to a more colorful world.
ACTIVIST interjects:
Nazi, go home!
A groan goes through the STUDENTS body. Some STUDENTS moan:
Boo! Boo!
One STUDENT shouts:
Shut the Fuck up! Let him speak!
PETER JOR HANDSOME
I saw many white academics and distinguished professors fuming at this “woke nonsense.” I am afraid that their reasonable objections will have no impact during Woke Four.
For it is mostly white leaders themselves who ordered the massacre on whites. Despite the fact that whites of European descent only account for barely 11% of the world’s population, the woke insist that white nations must be racially dissolved. So, it doesn’t matter whether we psychologists or some anthropologists disagree with wokeness and woke culture, or whether we really believe that there are no distinctive races and no two complimentary genders.
Wokeness is part of a radical awakening in the West. It is the logical continuation of Western enlightenment and emancipation that started with the French Revolution: All humans are equal!
We are told that the reign of white man is over, and that we must endure race mixing, affirmative action and gender quotas in order to deliver Woke Four.
A female activist with BLUE hair is making her way past the students and to the front.
BLUE:
I want to talk to JOR HANDSOME. JOR HANDSOME, do you have any comments on the Nazi presence at your protest!
PROFESSOR appears off-guard and shocked. He tries to ignore her.
PETER JOR HANDSOME
And on to the Psychological Effects of Woke Euphoria. The woke engage in cult-like behavior. We could see this from disturbing images in 2015. When Swedish and German women cried ‘Welcome!’ when the trains brought in tens of thousands of Islamic and African male migrants. Of course, those migrants will never assimilate. They are most valuable just the way they are. Or, as the President of Germany, Walter Steinmeier, exclaimed in 2016: “What the migrants bring us is more valuable than gold!”
BLUE from before is at it again. She holds her mobile phone at arms length and is filming the PROFESSOR.
BLUE:
JOR HANDSOME, why are there Nazis and white supremacists at your protest? Do you have any comments on that?
PETER JOR HANDSOME
Please let me finish my talk. I might answer comments later. And please do not film! This lecture is being recorded and you can find it later on our homepage.
I’ve lost my thread. Where were we? Ah, yes, gender euphoria. The woke invent new genders, 58 to be exact, according to social media monopolist Facebook. These include cis, fluids, queers, neutrois and trans.
Another ACTIVIST
from the back row interjects:
Oh now he’s going full homophobic!
PETER JOR HANDSOME
(visibly shocked)
Ehm… for example, in American schools white pupils have to undergo anti-racism and anti-white-supremacy training. And in Europe, non-whites enjoy extra-territoriality – meaning they control inner cities or certain suburbs and operate under different, more benevolent sets of rules. Non-whites do not have to pass difficult tests, do not need excellent grades, and they receive lesser or no punishment for certain crimes.
A teenage girl in Hamburg in Germany was raped in a public park by twelve migrants, nine of them who could be identified via DNA traces of their sperm. All nine rapists walked free the same day, because the police didn’t want to appear racist.
A woman in Philadelphia in the United States was raped in public on a train and the bystanders did nothing because the rapist was a black man, and no bystander wanted to be labeled a racist…
STUDENT interjects:
Let’s Go, Brandon!
(laughter)
Female ACTIVIST reacts:
You are so stupid!
PROFESSOR briefly watches in disbelief. He picks up his talk again. The ACTIVISTS in the back are noisy. The STUDENTS in the front are unruly. SECURITY is on the guard. The atmosphere is not good.
PETER JOR HANDSOME
This is really happening, if we like it or not. The woke got their Wokistan. Whites must be made unemployable and reprehensible. They must not form gatherings, organizations or even fraternities. They need to be accompanied by a non-white officer for diversity and inclusion.
In Canada, preferring a male PhD candidate amounts to sexism, which is a hate crime. Instead, we follow the European Union in that all our positions must be phrased “gender-neutral” or posted in M-F-D code, which stands for “male, female and diverse.”
In fact, the EU is so hyped up about all this, about the total destruction of gender and ethnicity, it now wants to eliminate the words “race” and “man” from its laws and its constitution.
You can look it up yourself on the EU’s own websites. It is called the Fundamental Human Rights Charter or so. It says we must not discriminate on grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics, which, yes in theory also includes sex with minors and animals. This will be the next logical step.
That said, the Joe Biden US government is not far behind. The Democrats have completely embraced the woke ideology of DIE. That’s the acronym for Diversity, Inclusion and Equity. Since it was white males who founded and who dominated America for so long, Lincoln, Jefferson, Lee, the entire history of the United States does not match the science of Woke Four and needs to be revised…
BLUE interrupts:
Professor JOR HANDSOME, do your views… do your own views align with those slave owners and… with white colonialists?
STUDENT:
Stop interrupting him!
PETER JOR HANDSOME
That’s a good question! Of course I do NOT condone the founding fathers. On the contrary, I am going so far as to suggest that the colonialists were really just… woke!
When the white European colonists conquered North America and East Asia, they experienced firsthand race and gender euphoria. It is a great pleasurable feeling to dominate “another race” and practice lovemaking with “exotic females.” Discovery is the “I found it!” eureka moment. It heightens the human spirit. Hence the 1776 American Declaration of Independence stressing “the pursuit of happiness,” which back then meant to hump all the Indians or girl slaves or whatever, conquer the rest of the continent, take over the Empire from the British, and collect foreign status symbols and females. Western imperialism, psychologically speaking, was a hedonistic self-perpetuating victory march, a really happy and satisfying string of human accomplishments.
Just imagine what would be going on here on earth if ‘our people’ discovered a strange planet and brought home the greatest treasures and horny women…
A Black male STUDENT interjects:
Then we owe them reparations!
STUDENT:
Here we go again!
PETER JOR HANDSOME
Not at all. See, those people were sold-out and thrown under the bus by their own leaders. This race and sex euphoria I was talking about also explains the seemingly suicidal compliance of corrupt leaders. When Angela Merkel… well, she is called “the God-Emperess” in Europe… When Angela Merkel opened the borders to two million mostly male migrants from Africa and the Middle East, there was among her ministers and co-conspirators the same euphoria… similar to what once befell the Aztec Empire under Emperor Moctezuma II and the Qing Dynasty under Empress Dowager Cixi.
Those tyrants understand very well the consequences for their own people. But, see… in politics you make A LOT of enemies, and you probably also maximally exploited your own people. So those emperors and empresses sensed a chance of being part of something even bigger. So they threw their own people under the bus and conspired with foreigners. They went woke…
BLUE:
Do you know how offensive this sounds? Are you saying colonialism was their own fault? How…
…I am speaking!…
…How can this university allow white supremacist theories? I will file a complaint!
PETER JOR HANDSOME
File all you want! I am almost done here. Ah, and please buy my book ‘The 3 Rules of Life’.
Male ACTIVIST:
Go woke…
or go broke!
ACTIVISTS and BLUE chanting in unison:
Go woke…
or go broke!
Go woke…
or go broke!…
PETER JOR HANDSOME
I’m afraid, the Future of Wokeness is this: If the woke get away with it, we could be looking at a very dysfunctional, very incompetent and very abusive century. Females and non-whites are going to be on top? And they will be policing race and gender everywhere? And their dopamine and serotonin levels go through the roof as they keep hunting down the remaining whites as “racists” or “white supremacists”? And they are being rewarded for this by our own irresponsible governments…
ZOOM OUT.
PROFESSOR leaves the platform with resignation on his face. Black SECURITY shields him from the woke mob. While grabbing his jacket and briefcase from a chair, he speaks loud to himself.
ZOOM IN.
PETER JOR HANDSOME
I can’t do this anymore. We will have to move online…
The speaker leaves.
FADE OUT.

I got it. The big man is currently at Oxford Union. Why do they even bother organizing this? Talk goes straight to Youtube anyways. In-person education at Oxbridge is dead. Nice details. Wait until the woke mob discover the adventures of Captain Cook and Bertrand Russell. This one from the Scotsman: “As readers will know, Edinburgh University’s David Hume Tower is to be renamed following the exposure of Hume’s unsavoury views on race.” Unreal! F5in unreal!
Dear Thorsten J. Pattberg
I just stopped laughing.
You script pinpoints exactly the menticide at work in western universities.
What a great script for a new chapter of Monty Python´s Woke Circus.
It was almost like a rerun of the life of Brian.
Too bad that Monty Python has been banned by the woke movement.
Cause my good, how they need to be ridiculed for their lack of cognition and logic.
The poor lector Handsome connects all the dots of how woke ism is nothing new, but has been used by “Rulers” to manipulated the masses throughout the ages.
But non of the student gets the message, because most of them don’t even care.
And only a few try to derail the lecture to further their own trivial agenda.
A Monty Python sketch “The woke lecture” will turn into a classic, on how woke ism is derailing education and politics, to create menticide in “All of Babylon”.
Thanks for the laugh Thorsten.
I think people outside the UK or Canada or generally what Saker refers to as Zone A (aka the appendix of the West) have little idea how dire the situation for whites has become. The woke mob is vandalizing monuments of Edward Colston in Bristol and Winston Churchill in Westminster or Cecil Rhodes in Oxford. Orthodox whites are not safe in UK education, where they are seen as the reminiscence class of slave owners and racists and bigots. I recommend the Youtube channel of a well-spoken Englishman under the name History Debunked. He carefully guides his viewers through daily stories of woke English newspapers. This will shock you for life, my friends. There is no way humanity can survive wokeness without mass G.
Saker Blog is shadowbanned in much of Europe. When I traveled Germany, the website was not even ranked. I am in Poland, and it is ranked, but only on page two or three on Google search, but as the top search result on Duckduckgo search. This tells me Europe is falling apart. Their populations are being fed with totally different information and news. The French are being radicalized against the British. The Germans are being radicalized against the Polish. All the various regimes are in panic mode. UK is its own category now, not European at all. I think Russia and China could emerge as the new centers of civilizations. If their leaders are wise, they are going to promote Islam and vodoo in Europe. The South of the USA looks like Argentina and will certainly fall apart. Los Angeles and San Francisco are Third World countries, according to the set of criteria as invented by Frenchman Alfred Sauvy. Ultra-wealthy American clans have no loyalty and will be happy to orchestra a socialist revolution in California. Interesting how socialism won in Europe and the USA despite all the false propaganda about American dream and democracy. This is the fall of the Roman Empire, but better. As to Little Britain, I really see no help for this country but becoming an imaginary rainy Disneyland for Pakistanis and Hindus and Arabs and Turks and Islam in general. And this doesn‘t even include colonial reparations to one billion Africans who should be issued English passports on humanitarian grounds, Mr. Johnson!
Vineyard Saker ranks first in Google search in America. Not in the EU, where Google must conform to national preferences and privacy and censorship laws. Google owns Youtube, so can’t tell how many times I tried to share a video link with my brother in Austria and he couldn’t open it. People take their information for granted, but it was largely selected for them. France has laws that force Google to show French media results and news first. China demanded the same thing from Google, but crossed the Chinese government. After two strikes, Google was out. Google America censors all Russian, Arab, India and China search results. The American bubble. Not a melting pot at all.
I think Peterson is far too overhyped. He is too talkative for my taste. Also his recent performances and the changes in his looks make me worried that he might be severely depressed and… schizophrenic. Seriously, he is now posting selfies of himself sitting in Oxford Hall like he was 12 years old. Obviously he is a narcissist.
Also he uses more and more “should”s in his twitter and conversations these days. Write a book called 12 Rules for Life just straight copied from Askmen.com. He may be good at motivating young incels and mgtows, but if he is in love with his own kermit voice, it is a sign that he is not right in his head and chasing validation from very dark places in the Internet.
Having said so, I think we should all come to our own conclusions after listening to his talks. There is nothing of originality in Peterson, and he is not respected in scholarship, but he has this therapy-guy celebrity vibe and just won‘t stop talking. So the Internet loves him.
Given one of the contexts here is academia its worth observing what might best be described as ‘Rule 1’. Which is always begin any essay or verbal analysis by properly and adequately explicitly defining the terms and concepts used in your argument.
Something one would reasonably expect from a half decent student never mind someone actually giving a lecture or constructing such a scene.
That the ball has been dropped here on this basic requirement is a pity simply because an opportunity has been missed to demonstrate the amount and depth of common ground between the ‘apparent’ sides presented as polar opposites.
The two passages reproduced below go to the heart of the matter:
“Now, let’s talk about the Political Dimension of Wokeness. Since European civilization proved to be the most accomplished and successful one, “white males” by definition of all the things I just said, rank at the top of the international order.”
“When the white European colonists conquered North America and East Asia, they experienced first hand race and gender euphoria. It is a great pleasurable feeling to dominate “another race””
What these two passage’s tell us is, firstly, the social distinctions of race and patriarchy utilising biological and anthropological based distinctions were and continue to be used as a convenient means to construct hierarchies to justify all manner of advantage to those at the top of those artificially constructed hierarchies. Hierarchy being a key defining feature of the ‘woke’ concept.
In industrial parlance Social Darwinism was used to impose a strict hierarchy based on specific criteria to determine who was ‘The Biggest, Baddest, and Bestest.’
A fuller analysis can be found in this recent piece I encountered on Medium:
https://eand.co/why-is-it-okay-for-white-guys-to-call-the-rest-of-us-unintelligent-7866456803e3
Whilst I don’t agree with this author’s take on ‘rationality’ because, in short, he seems to be ‘throwing out the baby with the bathwater’ the analysis succinctly ties in with the argument being used in this piece about the ‘Woke.’:
“Enlightenment thinkers loved to make hierarchies and taxonomies. They made them of animals, plants —
and humans. And in the human hierarchy, “rationality” was what placed some people above — and some
below — others.
“Rationality” thus came to go hand in hand with the other great intellectual mistake of the Enlightenment —
the invention of “race.” Nobody speaks of races in the Bible, or in Greek classics. That’s because we didn’t
have the idea of “race” until it was invented during the Enlightenment.”
In short, the two passages I quoted from this piece at the top effectively argue the case for what it is describing being a social construct. In that regard the ‘activists’ and the lecturer in this scene are occupying the same ground even though a lot of hard work has gone into a narrative which implicitly and explicitly argues the opposite is the case.
Whilst the favourite example tends to focus on the industrial extent and level of the slave trade a more useful example which demonstrates the actual fraternal link between the presented protagonists in this scene – ‘students’ (‘Lets go Brandon’) and ‘activists’ – would be that of the complaint made about the use of quota’s, lower standards etc for certain groups previously disadvantaged as a result of that particular hierarchy.
A complaint in which the merits are undermined by a complaint of ‘reverse racism’ by those hanging their hat on the principle of ‘merit.’ A principle until very recently too many who jump on this bandwagon conveniently found no problem with when it operated to the advantage of those higher up the artificially constructed hierarchy – in terms of employment, housing, education, representation etc – to the disadvantage of those lower down that hierarchy.
I long ago lost count of the number of times I’ve encountered situations in which someone has been promoted above their abilities when someone of a different class, sex, or race was better qualified and more experienced as a result of this traditional hierarchy.
A similar analysis can be made in terms of the set in stone artificially created hierarchy of patriarchy. In which similar arguments were, and continue to be, used to defend the advantages in law which that particular artificially created hierarchy afforded. Even to the extent of blaming those at the bottom of the hierarchy for their position. The observation of limited collusion by some being a case in point which conveniently shifts the onus and responsibility by extrapolating the sins of a few onto the whole group in order to excuse the responsibility of those enjoying the hierarchical advantage.
As argued below the line on a previous thread on this site what is commonly referred to as ‘Woke’ shares the same features and processes. What has morphed into ‘The Woke’ also operates an artificially constructed hierarchy which is equally ruthlessly enforced. In this case a hierarchy of oppression. Constructed for the same purposes of maintaining political advantage by dividing and salami slicing people into ever smaller enclaves which makes it easier for elites to maintain control.
Fundamentally the structures, processes, approach, features and criteria which are operating are from the same play book. As bob Dylan explicitly noted here:
https://bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/1605
“A South politician preaches to the poor white man
“You got more than the blacks, don’t complain.
You’re better than them, you been born with white skin,” they explain.
The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid
And the marshals and cops get the same
But the poor white man’s used in the hands of them all like a tool
He’s taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
’Bout the shape that he’s in
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game”
And there exists, for anyone willing to take the time to look, a wealth trove of analysis and evidence out there which demonstrates the case of what is referred to as ‘Woke’ being pushed, supported and financed by the same top of the pyramid establishment elites implicitly referred to in this above piece in terms of the previous hierarchy it uses.

And for the same objectives as always. To divide people into artificial silos fighting one another over how many angels you can get on the end of a pin.
The really clever part in this iteration is to not only have sold this as ‘left wing/progressive’ but also to effectively press gang large sections of the self referencing left to do all the water carrying.
