So the 80s-00s was a time when the old establishment mellowed down, while the new movement hadn’t taken power yet? Essentially a golden age for epistemics (relatively speaking) that we didn’t realize was one until it was over?
Any thoughts on whether the new establishment will mellow down, and how long that will take?
To answer that one needs to see the endgame of the current upswell. Looking back at a those before this one might be useful. Also, at least in the US, there is a lot of polarization going on, and the forces you have described are not the only ones around. It is not clear that the woke cancel culture will prevail, but quite likely, given that they are the newest force.
