All the colors and lineages of people deserve care, kindness, support to achieve their potentials, love, and a way of living that is healthy and true to the abundance and profundity of Earth. Yes, even the animal peoples. Even the living places that are the source of our lives and futures.

What they receive is often the opposite. This has nothing to do with our nature, or our world. It has to do with ideas. Ideas about mastery, domination, hate, manipulation, profit, and enforced ignorance.

We must stop arguing over ignorance gone rampant, and attacking people or cultures as a result. We must instead inoculate each other and our species with the seeds of ideas so healthy and humane that they become the cognitive ecosystem that leads us not only into the future — which is entirely uninteresting since any idea does this – but but back and forward, into our humanity. A humanity we know so very little about, because we have been so long buried in the stupidity foisted upon us by deadly ideas that we have never tasted it.
