I’ve been following your presence on instagram for a while now, and I’m so happy to have found you on Substack! I appreciate the perspective that your provide in your IG posts and now here. Thank you for sharing your point of view!
Loved this! So many excellent observations. This part in particular really resonated: “It helps us pretend that our best interest is actually the collective best interest. When really what we’re doing is propping up these systems of oppression and participating in a power hierarchy.” Thanks to you and Jessica for a great conversation!
Excellent post! I believe it is all about authentic choices. The challenge is that we have been so conditioned (brainwashed?) it is very difficult to make an authentic choice. Most of the times we don’t even realize we have limiting beliefs / conditioning that are actually making the choices for us.
I really like the comment on beauty as a tool cementing the position of power in the hierarchy. This can be said for pretty much anything in our lives. What would we be doing, saying, thinking authentically, that is the question!
And Are we also trying to position ourselves in the food chain by sharing our own opinions (that are obviously better, smarter, purer than the neighbors:-))?
