I enjoyed the behind the scenes look with Lou. In general I enjoy the series of blogger interviews.
Manu – Humans are Complex
by
From Manu on Identity. It’s also why I find broad group definitions so annoying. Lumping together potentially billions of people using arbitrary traits as the dividing line is such a lazy way to look at the richness of human diversity and experience.
