Seems to dismiss altogether the amount of mind numbing bs people have had dumped into their heads since first grade. Some ideas are put in, take up residence as fact, and are very stubborn to dislodge. It's what school is supposed to do.

I'm Asperger, so I'm not hot on social ques which is a problem but also an advantage in some ways.

I dont generally take what someone says as true w/out reflecting on it, sometimes for a good while. Like ever snowflake is unique. My brain says: there is a finite size to a snowflake, a limit on how many water molecules can combine, no part of this leads to infinite. Yes, it would be a very big number, but not infinite.

Likewise, the often made assertion that humans are somehow naturally selfish and greedy. Research shows just the opposite. So it's a convenient lie capitalist society dumps into our young minds.

And getting outside that box is very difficult bc it's so deeply ingrained. I'm also leery of generalizations about any group having this or that trait. Men are like this or women or blacks or football teams. Whatever I know about a group tells me nothing about any one person in that group.

Well, ok, that's my introduction. What's next. Can we save the world from greed?
