I can't find it, may have been New Yorker or Atlantic, but there was a recent article saying how boys don't want to loose to girls in school, or deal with competing with them, and how that a way forward is to normalize real and healthy competition.
Anyone know the piece I'm referencing?

CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism. olivia.science/ai

According to Google AI:
"Bourgeois coldness describes a psychological and affective stance where individuals (especially within privileged, "bourgeois" structures) emotionally detach from the suffering and violence inherent in systems like colonialism and capitalism"
Sounds like a good read

This is essential!!
When we share values and a vision of the future with others, conflict and tension and difference can be generative. They strengthen us.
But ask any mediator: without a sense of shared goals or values, those same conflicts and tensions can decimate a relationship (or movement).
