KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  1. Everyone has an opinion about race. But hardly anyone has an informed opinion.
  2. I think about DEI the same way that I think about engineering, you do not put someone in calculus class who has not had pre algebra. Yes, you can, but they will fail miserably. You don’t put someone in calculus class, just because they're married to someone who knows calculus, or just because their grandchild knows calculus, you only put someone in calculus class because they've had the prerequisites.
  3. I learned that there were five different types of empathy. And pretty much there's, some of them cannot be taught. But cognitive empathy, or the mental ability to understand or put yourself in another person's shoes that can be taught.
  4. How do we mobilize the woefully ignorant?
  5. What if we truly understood the people in the middle? The people who are dangerously indifferent, the people who are influenceable. What if we weren't focused the most hateful in our society? And what
  6. If we were able or to mobilize the people who are just silent, either because they don't know or because they have great shame.
  7. Ashamed adults are not learning adults.
  8. Reading fiction builds our empathy muscles.
  9. Tactical empathy doesn't create a liberated society. We need cognitive empathy.
