This is absolutely perfect, thank you so much for writing this. There's definitely some people in my life that I will sending this too when the timing for me feels right.

"If we all had to wander around with some sort of badging" -- I immediately had an image of people walking down the street with those Tag Clouds (used in blogs) hanging over their heads and jostling with all the other Tag Clouds wandering past. LOL! A few really BIG words, handfuls of Medium sized, and gazillions of teensy tiny ones.

And yes, the whole us/them dichotomy captures a huge sickness at the heart of today's world. I've thought so ever since I was a child.

Great Video. I am definitely a hero. I have always gone against the grain. And take action when trouble comes along when someone is in need. Every time.

More books, Athena. Your scaffolding of thoughts and ideas allows space to reflect. I never feel manipulated. Like I commented a year ago, You Rock. Thank you.

Interesting Ted Talk. The experiment where he talks about electrocuting people is the opening scene in the "Experimenter" movie I recently recommended to you. The main character in the movie is Stanley Milgram.
