Thanks, sorry I missed this. Talking about this is new to me. I will get my sea legs. I think there is some Canadian Aboriginal context that I need to do better explaining.

Like voluntary enfranchisement. Or just the general negative reaction of many Canadians against anything Aboriginal. It is all cut your hair and act like us.

I argued for parallel development, not necessarily imitation. Though methodology does not exist in a vacuum, but parallel development does occur. So what if I was making that argument? What if it was true? Would it offend you?

I mean that we are right to fear something that makes us confront a difficult part of our self.

Learning is painful and hard. It is rational to fear those lessons. But to run from them means lacking courage and it is this courage that is behind any true greatness in the world.

Thanks for commenting btw

Abraham Lincoln said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

Red River Metis here. We look white to dark... but we have a very similar history of generational abuse by the Canadian government.

If anyone has read April Rain Tree. Well that was a Metis author. You can't judge a book by its cover. So I get being held two steps back and what trauma does to opportunity.

I think there are better ways to support experience specific generational understanding/education with then segregated environments.

I am always happy to see the Métis represented on an American site. Thanks my friend, most people don't know much about us. Seriously though, I am not sure that returning to a philosophy of segregation is the best path.

Perhaps focusing speakers that cover challenged and topics of interest is better then reducing intercultural exposure?

Part of the real issue is identity politics and the black box thinking it generated.

Rethorical devices would still maintain the greatest power. You don't need information just conviction and resources.

Option three. Irrational emotional rejection :-)

Not really. Ambition is like a bottle for your consciousness. It is the container. As your ambitions expands so does your mind.

If your ambition is to troll someone, that is your maximum value. I think if you look deeply many will realize that this is not the value they want. I believe that they can dream of something greater then to harass someone online.

If anything it is reminder to avoid being trivial. Ambition leads action. This cycle is who you are. It is beautiful self awareness.

My dear beautiful downvoters did you disagree or not understand?

Status is attention. If enough people stare at a fool he will be convinced he is king.

There are dollars in spectacle but in the end twitter, fb, reddit or HN are inferior tools because of this.
