You have more in common with every unhoused person, every undocumented immigrant, every trans or otherwise LGBTQ person, every disabled person, every person in any marginalized minoritized ethnicity, than you do with even one single billionaire.

This is often the source of confusion in metaphysics classes, where 'object' is intended to be an umbrella term for any persistent entity (or sometimes even just something that can be picked out in thought!). But 'objectification' as a concept is pretty ingrained at this point.

Revisiting Voltaire's Lettres Philosophiques, finding it grounding.

Also, more perversely, some dystopian sci fi that hits too close to home (Hum, by Helen Phillips).

Also also traveling outside of the US--I feel less like im in the video for Radiohead's No Surprises when im not at home.
