Sanderson has millions upon millions of fans all over the planet; it doesn’t matter that some losers at a single magazine (even if it is one of the nerdier ones) had never heard of him. On the other, the ignorance goes far beyond WIRED. As far as I can tell, Sanderson, who has been topping bestseller lists for the better part of the 21st century, has not been written about in any depth by any major publication ever.
I find Sanderson depressingly, story-killingly lame.

Define Wokeness! Or how you shall know a word by the company it keeps
Left-leaning news media tends to use the terms woke and wokeness in the vicinity of terms such as bogeyman, trumpists, denigrate, deride, vilify, ridiculed, reactionaries, pejorative, fearmongering, demagoguery, and racism.
Right-leaning news media tend to use the terms woke and wokeness in the vicinity of terms such as lunacy, tribalism, transgenderism, nihilistic, illiberal, orthodoxy, dogma, conformity, idiocy, insufferable, puritanical, claptrap, orwellian, fascism and condescension.
AI however also holds the key to a potential solution. Politically neutral AI systems that provide balanced sources and a diverse set of legitimate viewpoints for most normative questions that cannot be conclusively adjudicated and for which a variety of legitimate human opinions exist could facilitate communication between different communities by constructing common reference points along which communication is enabled.

Press aides for the White House and Central Intelligence Agency have consistently denied that America was responsible for exploding the pipelines, and those pro forma denials were more than enough for the White House press corps. There is no evidence that any reporter assigned there has yet to ask the White House press secretary whether Biden had done what any serious leader would do: formally “task” the American intelligence community to conduct a deep investigation, with all of its assets, and find out just who had done the deed in the Baltic Sea. According to a source within the intelligence community, the president has not done so, nor will he. Why not? Because he knows the answer.
