Episode notes

i think experience is not a card to play in gameefied social interaction, or a weapon to wield in battles over prestige. It is an experiential manifestation of the vulnerability that connects me to most of the people on this earth. And i think there's something in it for us if we look at other people this way,. If we adopt the view of ourselves that goes along with looking at otherPeople this way. I'm trying to be honest about what i think is true and not shy away from saying the thing i think istrue.

Featuring Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò on his essay "Being-in-the-Room Privilege: Elite Capture and Epistemic Deference," an interview first posted in December 2020. This pairs well with last week's Jared Clemons interview on In This House We Believe antiracism.
