What are two beliefs you hold that aren't usually held by the same person?
For example:
"I believe the moon landing was faked"
and "I believe the government is 100% honest about 9/11"
Or
"Racism is way overblown"
"But really pls check your privilege"

"Consciousness is neither identical with brain states nor should it be eliminated in favor of them." "The relation between consciousness and brain states is just like the relation between Water and H2O or heat and molecular motion."

Racism sexism homophobia -prejudices in general- are a giant problem holding this country and humanity back.
