The wording can also help to codify it in your mind. Or offer a shift in perspective, like this:

"Treat Yourself Like Someone You Are Responsible for Helping"


Why would you have preferred that over Montessori?


It's the "How Do You Do Fellow Kids?" meme come to life.


"Diversity" = Identity based approach to society

"Inclusion" = Restricted speech and justification for purges

"Equity" = Equality of outcomes


Sorry if this is too off topic, but is there a name for the art style they are using in the illustrations? It seems to be all over corporate sites these days.


"Corporate Memphis," perhaps?

That design style is called "Corporate Memphis" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Memphis) and you're right it is pervasive.

Here's a YouTube video about it if you're curious: Why do "Corporate Art styles" Feel Fake? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFb7BOI_QFc


used to be a nice twitter blog documenting the style, but it got suspended at some point: https://web.archive.org/web/20190426022335if_/https://twitte...


> Unless social media companies start penalising polarising content and rewarding more constructive posts,

Twitter and Facebook are not shy about having a hand in the conversation. If anything they reward polarizing content, and they've shown interest in censoring wrongthink, but do they have any interest in turning down the temperature?

> these platforms will continue to be swamped by political animosity that risks spilling into real-world turmoil.

It's more than a risk, it's been spilling into real-world turmoil for years.


a subset of journalists seem to continually forget that media is still real, social media perhaps even more so

nobody else seems to have this delusion, except cops responsible for investigating threats and harassment campaigns against individuals.


I think it is interesting that high temperature plus censoring wrongthink makes two minute's hate. Calling things Orwellian is something of a cliche, but it is occasionally appropriate.
