You know, we start noticing parts of our behavior that are almost on automatic pilot.

Like, you know, the residential schools system in Canada and the ongoing, you know, finding of corpses in schools.

Right.

This was going on up until like the early 90s.

And this was made public information, you know, in around 1910.

So people knew about this and nothing was done about it.

Some people knew exactly what was going on.

The indigenous communities knew what was going on, but many people chose not to look at it.

And it's because it was sort of below the love, the threshold of perception in a way.

And that's what like a system like colonialism does.

It tries to move things below the love perception so that they can be swept away without people noticing.

Like cleaning your floor.

I mean, it's an awful analogy because what we're talking about is murder.

From my perspective, I don't see a lot of people thinking about it that way.

Think about, like, what goes into thinking about evil?

Like, how do we get to the point where we can call something evil?

Well, I think it happens in a lot of different places.

If we look at it in terms of subject-object, right?

You have a subject which is a person and an object sort of which is a thing.

If your culture, society, your friends, your peers, your boss tells you to look at things in a subject-object kind of view.
