Sitting around a table with my family each day for dinner was a huge part of my childhood and I'm sure impacted me in significant unconscious ways.

American society is a massive collection of many, many different groups. No other heterogenous group of this scale relative to the rest of the world, save perhaps for the great empires of the past, has ever existed. We are bound to have struggle.

The story of America is the story of the world. When America oppressed minorities, it did so as all societies on Earth had oppressed their minorities, until the modern age has begun to open our eyes to better ways of living together.

As the American middle class dissolves, it does so as the middle class throughout much of the developed world dissolves.

We are a unique country, saddled with unique challenges, but these are more challenges of scale than anything else.

We will require visionary leadership if we are to overcome them.

Like any societal wide witch hunt, this one will blaze hot and fast until it burns itself out. It's been started in response to very real problems but when companies can't hold holiday parties or men begin to overanalyze every single interaction with women, things have gone too far.

Just need to use common sense. If someone asks you to stop doing something that makes them uncomfortable, then you stop. There is a time and a place for harmless flirting, just don't be creepy.

We need to make sure our power structures are regulated in such a way that people in power aren't able to abuse their power.
