Oh, Yeah, yeah. Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman.

According to YouTube, about 4% of my listeners live in Australia.

If that describes you, then I have some exciting news.

I'm doing two live events in Australia next month with my friend Josh Zepps, who's a great broadcaster out there.

We're doing one event in Sydney at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas on August 25th, and then we're doing a standalone event in Melbourne on August 28th.

So if you live in Australia, go to the links in the description below and grab a ticket.

My guest today is Eric Kaufman. Eric is a political scientist and formerly a professor at

Birkbeck University of London where he specialized in the study of demographics,

immigration, and national identity.

His last book, White Shift, won Tyler Cowan's Book of the Year at Marginal Revolution.

His new book is The Third Awakening, a 12-point plan for rolling back progressive extremism.

I would say this is probably the best book on wokeness that I've read.

We talk about Kaufman's concept of cultural socialism, we talk about the relationship between

wokeness and liberalism, the implications of generational turnover and value change, we talk about the gender divide in woke ideology, we talk about the

role of birth rates and religiosity, and much more.

As always, if you like what I'm doing, please support the show at Patreon.

So without further ado, Eric Kaufman.

Eric Kaufman, thanks so much for coming on my show again.

Great to be here, thanks for having me back.

All right, so congrats on the book.

It's really fantastic.
