It’s interesting to see this article standing on its own. I don’t think it makes a lot of sense this way. It’s from his newsletter and it kind of assumes a lot and is more of an impressionistic sketch for people that already share his worldview.

If you don’t already share that point of view and haven’t read his book this will seem superficial and lacking nuance.

With that said I highly recommend his book, Dignity, which is a much longer and fleshed out discussion of how our society treats people and places that don’t matter.
