Recently I had chosen to dissolve my interest in Medium due to a plethora of milque toast articles. How refreshing your piece is! As I read it I was torn between wanting to race out and pick up your suggested reading and the absurdist thoughts of Kurt Vonnegut's 'Galapagos.' Nicely crafted and a piece that should be a lead article on Medium or stapled to before the hoods of KKK members so it may lead them to enlightenment. Chapeau to your finely rearched thought-provoking essay.
