8:02 AM “I don’t understand why there’s so much confusion over why the arts and humanities skew left. They are, by definition, about understanding someoen else’s perspective. Conservatives will and do tell you that someone else’s perspective is not their problem.”

8:02 AM “If you dedicate your life to understanding the perspectives of other people in your work, it’s going to carry over into your life. If your worldview is built on not caring about the perspective of others, then you probably don’t think the arts and humanities are important.”

2:30 PM “it’s not my job try to imagine the perspective of that person who is hungry/poor/immigrating/sick/afraid of covid/drowning in debt/offended…”
I’m not even trying to dunk on conservatives, that’s literally what they’ll tell you is their worldview.“ Description ends]
