And so when you saw like South Korea, or Taiwan respond very early, and very well,
And you compare that to kind of the resistance and the doubt and the skepticism and the pushback that we saw here in the United States.
I think that's like a real world example of like what happens if you have and hold on to a mindset that says, you know, the only things that I care about are the things that relate to me or the only things that matter are the ones that I can relate to.
And everything outside of that, I don't see why it's important.
So I think introducing as a normal exercise as early as possible, the idea that we should learn about people with different lived experiences, people with different perspectives that come from different cultures or backgrounds is really important because that is the world we live in.
That is how we exist.
You know, we do live surrounded by people that are different than us.
The argument, I think, oftentimes in education is, well, we're trying to help the most kids as possible.
But what ends up happening with that kind of mentality is that kids who are in some sort of minority situation.
whether that's a racial minority or let's say a neurodivergent minority, because they don't belong to that majority, their needs really get neglected.
But oftentimes, unfortunately, I think that that's the argument that's made, which is like this doesn't apply to either my kid or most kids.
And I think that that's unfortunately, you know, how the sort of like the reasoning behind why we shouldn't or we should we shouldn't talk about these things or we shouldn't teach these things.
That's the argument that's often made.
I think some of the pushback that we're experiencing right now is definitely uniquely American.
There are certain things that, you know, one of the human blind spots we have towards knowing things is that we don't know what we don't know, right?
Everyone has large areas of ignorance because it's impossible to know everything.
And our knowledge so often is experience-based or based on, you know, the resources and the people that we're exposed to.
So everyone...
has giant aspects of their understanding of things where they have blind spots.
And that's fine, except another particular blind spot is we don't know what we don't know, right?
