I have a lot of old notes and commentary about the improbability of free will, and that quote touches on the same concept. I like that quote — what is it from?

Obviously you have to be able to, but your noticing the difference should remain relevant to the context. I guess that is obvious, but I think that is basically what racism boils down to -- context cross referencing. lol Ultimately, I think it has to be, but the conundrum is — “Am I allowed to notice that someone is different?”

I do believe that our culture has become so anti-racist, that it has backfired (the word 'white' being synonymous with 'pathetic'). "Rebellion done for it's own sake does not a true free thinker make, to go against for its own sake, you're still controlled by the course that the other man takes" You make a fantastic point.

“Rebellion done for it’s own sake
does not a true free thinker make,
to go against for its own sake,
you’re still controlled by the course
that the other man takes”
