Thanks for another astute entry in the Woke lexicon project, Peter.

When I hear people say “I feel unsafe” in response to a new idea, I hear their insecurity about their own knowledge and their inability to defend what they intuitively sense is an indefensible ideological position. Those who are open-minded, confident in their ability to reason, and tolerant of ideas that challenge their own embrace the opportunity as a way of honing their understanding, expanding their mental map, and refining their own ideas in light of new knowledge as per John Stuart Mill.
