xenophobia, etc.) for dozens of generations, it shapes your individual
life in ways that can be neglected or ignored by the society, and, most
importantly, the individual.
I choose to ignore and oppose the irrationalities of all generations, ones
past and ones current. Otherwise, no progress can be made, if we fall for
the conservative tradition, ie, "But it's always been this way". Screw that!
