i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

A lot of lefties acquired their leftism through academia rather than through empathy with other human beings and it really shows.

Full transcript below:

"A lot of lefties acquired their leftism through academia rather than through empathy with other human beings. And it really shows, because the culture of intellectual supremacy—the idea that you can be fundamentally better than someone else because you know better than someone else—is evident in the way that they behave and the way that they interact with other people. Unless we are able to identify and rectify this schism (because it is a fundamental difference in how you are relating to these concepts), we can't effectively move forwards.

Now, the reason for me that this is so important is because that concept of intellectual supremacy—that you can be better than someone else because you know things that they don't—is rooted in a western Eurocentric colonial mindset. And it is typically internalized at such a deep level that it is fully embodied. Meaning people are not consciously aware that they are doing that. That's just their default understanding. So they don't recognize the nature of the problem that they are perpetuating.

It's normally pretty easy to identify these differences in people, because it's the difference between punching down or uplifting. Either you're trying to be better than other people and prove how much better than other people you are, or you're trying to make sure that everyone can be better together.

Now, the thing is, I get it. There is a big, big draw towards feeling better than other people. It feels good. That's literally what it's about. You feel good because you feel better than someone else. But it's something that we need to be constantly addressing and resisting, because it is a fundamental lynchpin piece of the psychological paradigm that we are trying to uproot.

For me, I think the solution centers around humanization of the enemy. We need to be able to look at the billionaire class. We need to be able to look at Israel as a nation. We need to be able to look at the far-right resurgence across the world and ask ourselves: what happened to those people? Why are they doing that? Not just "they're awful, scummy people"—they can be that too, because that's how they're behaving.

But we need to address the recognition of what went wrong. Yeah, it is insane and totally unacceptable to just assume that they are like that from birth, that they were born to be bastards. Doesn't work like that. If you've ever spent any time working with children and been able to actually do a fucking good job of it, you will recognize that no children are born evil. But you should have also been able to have recognized how rapidly pathological mindsets take hold of a child in this society.

We need to be constantly attempting to humanize everybody, no matter how much we disagree with them."

Sometimes I get the sense that people on Reddit don't recognize this, so for anyone who's less familiar with 1940s American literary and film references: when John talked about his separation from Yoko as a "lost weekend", he wasn't coining a new term or trying to imply that he'd just been gone for a few days. The Lost Weekend was the title of a best-selling novel and Oscar-winning movie from 1945 about a writer struggling with alcoholism. That would have been easily recognizable pop culture shorthand in the 70s for someone going on a bender or describing a period of drinking too much.

Interesting side note that one may or may not consider relevant: in the novel, the main character (like the author) is either bisexual or a closeted gay man who wrestles with his sexuality and self-medicates partly as a way of coping with that. That was omitted from the movie, but the author, Charles R. Jackson, actually lived at the Dakota in the 50s/60s, and I wonder to what extent John was familiar with him and his work.
