dismissing entire ethnic groups, it can literally just not be seeing the humanity of another person and treating them as an end unto themselves. So lately, I'm on a social media break right now. And I mentioned that part of the reason I'm on the break is because I felt like I need to focus more on my relationships. So I was just really caught up in social media. I realized that

And likes are not the same thing as love. Everyone needs love. And love can only happen when you're actually engaging with people as ends, not as means to something else. So yeah, that's been one framework that's actually coming back as really useful for me. Stop trying to get past and onto the next thing and onto the next person and onto the next status symbol.

So rather than reasoning about your political beliefs and beliefs about how civilization should work from your personal perspective, which is inherently gonna be very biased, because you're gonna be looking at things in reference to what's good for you, not necessarily what's good for everyone, Try to reason as if you don't have a persona at all.

Like if I wasn't black man living in California named Kaizen and I was just like this person, identity-less thing, what policies and politics and structures would I want that would benefit the whole?
