Were you racist, xenophobic, and hateful before? If not, your realizations about their productivity aren’t particularly relevant.
I think that's about as detailed as I can get without revealing private information.
It was a remarkable experience and fundamentally changed the way I think about the human mind, extreme political views, political dialogue, and most of all how therapy should work.
I don’t believe that mindset exists.
If someone were to grow up in an economy built on coal mining with 13 year old miners, and you’re really effective at organizing 13 year old coal miners, then you’re gonna be very productive.
Even though everything that you’re doing is existentially bad for everybody, they are all ignorant of it’s harms. So even if temporally coal mining with miners might be the only thing that anyone is aware of to do that is “productive.”
You can make no “mistakes” and still lose just from ignorance
All I’m saying is that if someone is to make extraordinary claims “this drug is great against racism”, they should be able to back it up with more than “well I wasn’t racist before, and I’m still not, and besides we’re all one so why would someone else be?”
I’m well aware of the claim. I’m the one who protested it to begin with. And I still have found no evidence that the parent hadn’t realized any of those beforehand.
This is the exact kind of behavior that gets the psychs-solve-everything crowd dismissed.
I had a chip on my shoulder, so to speak.
