When you were younger, before you found your way to design anthropology, you wanted to become a medical doctor. But that ou felt that you would be a great neuro surgeon, but you wouldn't be a very good human being. And so understanding the differences between that is actually something helpful in terms of becoming a better human. A lot of our behaviors that are inhumane are about not really understanding other people's perspective on things.
