Just started Mark Goldblatt's new book I Feel, Therefore I am: The Triumph of Woke Subjectivism which I ordered as soon as I heard him speak on Glenn Loury's how (and be the reason that that ep got taken down on YouTube). He speaks of the difference between correspondence-to-reality vs correspondence-to-power and starts off using the truth discussion (or not much of one) between Pontius Pilate and Jesus.

It takes the position, of course, of what the Republicans used to disparagingly call the 'reality-based community' back during the Bush years, and makes me think that this (plus just having finished The Republican War On Science, mostly also about the Bush years) that this sort of laid the groundwork for woke denial of reality and science as well.
