occhiolism

n. the awareness of the smallness of your perspective, by which you couldn’t possibly draw any meaningful conclusions at all, about the world or the past or the complexities of culture, because although your life is an epic and unrepeatable anecdote, it still only has a sample size of one, and may end up being the control for a much wilder experiment happening in the next room.

It came to me this morning, and I have switched in Coretta Scott King, who was silenced via Elizabeth Warren by Mitch McConnell on the floor of the Senate yesterday. If the original represented a police state hostility toward black men, yesterday's shutdown showed the intense disrespect that endures toward black women, even of the greatest stature, and women in general -- as no male in the Senate who read the same letter was interrupted and asked to sit as Sen. Warren was.
