People who apply the lens of race to every situation are the real racists.
I can honestly say I'm proud of how I acted in this situation. When people a thousand years from now look back on this situation, I'm unapologetically proud of my role.
Can you feel the subtle pressure on your mind of humans of future generations peering back into the past and judging your actions today on their standards?
Trying to perform revisionist history and analyzing your actions and thoughts, trying to fit it into their future paradigms?

In their misguided attempt to wage language warfare, they will overuse terms such as racism or trauma or phobia to the point where the meaning becomes so diluted into eventually being meaningless, thus shooting themselves in the foot while their most zealot supporters lap it up.
Try to pay attention to how your body feels within ("interoception") every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
Can't observe something without the brain trying to optimize it. Naturally dissolve feelings of rot or tension, and make better choices.
Healing within.

Just smoked extremely strong weed with a random local townie (young ambitious 26 year old Indian dude) outside the nearby dive bar.
He went on a rant about how he's calculated his way to a $4B net worth by 2042 when he's 46 years old.
He just got hired at Deloitte (extremely large company) for $85k/year, realized the CEO of Deloitte makes $5M, and said the CEO of Google got the job at only 42 years old and makes $7M/yr.
He's got it all figured out in his head.
What I have noticed is he has that same preachy attitude of any ambitious mid-20-year-old who knows it all and has it all figured out.
Hm, this is the type of place where people getting wasted at 2am on every Monday night as an adult go.
My sorta place.

Just admit you want to seize power over the world yourself.
You know that you're obsessed with this idea of a One World Order because you secretly want to sit in the throne yourself.
Just admit it, anon, at least to yourself.

If you look for it, you'll see a certain mode of men wherein they trying desperately to appear as a mountain man, or refined sophisticated person, or intellectual, or salt-of-the-earth dude, or whatever.
Look at them; peer behind their mask.
See the persona underneath the mask.

Decentralization
Localism is just another extension of decentralization.
When the Internet was first designed during the Cold War, it was intentionally designed to be distributed without a single centralized point of failure, such that if a Russian nuke destroyed one data center, the Internet as a whole wouldn't go down.
Then with Linus inventing Git as a decentralized version control system, since the popular SVN code version control system was centralized, decentralization really took off. Now Github is one of the most popular websites and all coders pretty much use Git.
Blockchains and crypto and now NFT's are further examples of decentralization changing the world.
And I see politics and society as becoming more decentralized over time. I'm a huge fan of localism - let each small geographic region cultivate its own culture with its own form of government (or other emergent dominance hierarchy if that micro-region does not want a formal government).
The trend to decentralized is gaining popularity with Web3, with messaging apps like this one, and many other fields.
Now we must remember Newton's third law of motion: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." And here we come to the notion that many free-thinking revolutionaries of our time speak out against: a "New World Order" or more specifically a "One World Government" - the natural instinct to centralize it all, a-la communism, with its ever-suffocating constraints against creativity and novelty in its desperate attempt to villify the concept of competition and create an all-cooperative egalitarian future.
I can understand the instinct while still disagreeing with it.
Decentralization will save us.
Localism ftw.
Not because I necessarily want it to win (I do), but rather because I'm paying attention to the shifts and trends I see in the world of code, which I believe is beginning to spill into the world at large.
