Woke?
There were woke and anti woke. Arnold felt both extremes needed some sleep. Both misrepresented information, both knew they were the only way The nation, torn apart, was falling apart. People were actually killing each other. Political assassinations, school shootings, blowing up speedboats. Arnold longed to hear snores. But he heard only shouting and gun shots. Could he help the nation heal? One side wanted to change society, the other to move society back to apparently simpler times.
One side wanted change, the other to reverse change. How could he give both what they wanted? Each wanted the opposite. Satisfying both was impossible—for anyone but Arnold. He was an exceptional neurobioastrophysicist. Recently, his funding had been cut—too much science. Arnold had an additional reason to see the woke disaster resolved.
People were used to thinking they knew what they had. Through drugs in the water and air, subliminal messages on their phones and increasing internet service to everyone and using military satellites—simple enough–Arnold was able to convince the nation everyone had exactly what they wanted. Everyone now had the same religion, even atheists. The specially abled stayed out of sight and were given employment. Women stayed at home and raised families and continued working and being promoted. Science and vaccines continued to be denied and were better than restored.
Most important, nonwhite groups kept affirmative action, a ladder towards success, while white groups believed they had shut them out—because everyone was now white (as far as the white people were concerned.)
