Humans think the categories they employ to circumscribe cohorts, the labels… tell them who the people they speak of in absence…|»are. What they ‘do’. How they ‘think’.

Well, they don’t do that.

They tell a lot about how the one using them thinks.

Humans do not have static identities.

And the identities they enact are radically transformed according to the agreements of any actual context. Or a simulated one, albeit somewhat differently.

If you put human beings into a wonderful context, they transform. Dramatically. Fast, too.

Mostly, the categories we use to describe others we don’t even know… are the result of witnessing or thinking about other humans in dead contexts.

So, are the humans we label actually like the values we attach to a label?

Rarely. Or perhaps momentarily.

The actual problem is the dead and trapping contexts that we have so far failed to establish together.

But we will.
