Document Summary

Important to remember that we are all biased - we all have a particular set of beliefs and reasons behind why we believe what we do. We all live on stolen land (we must focus on unsettling and decolonizing) We live in a statist-capitalist society (we must challenge, resist, and create alternatives to capitalism and the state reform) We live in a racist, sexist, queerphobid, ableist, ageist, politically conservative, dumbed down, and distracted society (we must challenge, resist, and create alternatives to all of these oppressive discourses as well) We must strive to achieve a way of ruthless criticism of all that exists (karl marx) Become aware of your own values and beliefs (who you are and how you have become that way) Be able to identify the discourses you are invoking when making statements (according to) Make arguments that are internally consistent and empirically coherent.
