Corollary to this morning’s thread: nobody ever really understands anyone else. The best you can do is try to understand yourself better and better.

I used to think the protection racket side of woke was about targeting HR for diversity training grifts. Now I think it’s about control of PR boilerplate language to accumulate social media capital. In either case actually improving employment diversity is not the goal.

Yes, and a side effect of that understanding can be understanding in what ways you're unique and in what ways you're just like everyone else, which can lead to some understanding of other people.

You can never really be sure if that. All you can get to is your interactions with others being consistent with your hypotheses about the commonalities. You can’t actually see the world from inside their heads.
