1/ I despise essentialism - the (obviously false) belief that all Chinese are X, all Jews Y, all blacks Z, etc. Sure, on average Chinese are more X than Poles, less Y than Germans. There was a tweet yesterday "OMG, look at these terrible Chinese killing pets bc Coronavirus".

Why does human nature never change (war, violence, greed among others)? It's because the average person either cannot, or will not, separate the general from the specific. It's just too much mental energy or a lack of desire to make the differentiation.

Because the process is one that needs CONSTANT monitoring of expectations and thought in order to make the differentiation when it's most needed. Far easier to reach a conclusion and never challenge it again then question it's application each step of the way.
