The ability to have any one person spend a month without a key privilege (class, race, gender, sexuality, etc.) so that they can become more empathetic. This reflects my fear that we won't overcome bias and prejudice without directly accessing the lived experiences of others.

I don't know much about masters programs but everyone senior I know who works in a technical industry that is traditionally taught in lecture halls (compsci folks, EEs, etc.) warns of this same issue: people coming out of academia are often woefully unprepared for practical work.

What we need to is end once and for all the 40 year failure that is trickle down economics. We can replace that with Piñata economics instead.

Painfully sincere Tweet: In 2012, I read a novel with unusually well-written women characters. Shot the author a Tweet, and developed a friendship. Season 5 of the TV about that book series just debuted. I’m just amazed with all @JamesSACorey has accomplished in 8 years.
