    I just think when talking about writing, that politics should be refrained from being talked about, especially when people’s viewpoints are not considered valid. This is America-a melting pot of all types of peoples-and opinions. Right-now there is no objectivity in the political area-and it’s a very sad time because of that.

    The discussion about visions over policy ideas really hits the nail on the head for me. And I think the right - at least in the UK - is so much better at putting (usually negative) images in people's heads. That our mental images are capable of driving our emotions and narratives is something that politicians and leaders seem to have amnesia about, preferring to have rational and analytical debates - I think Ian McGilchrist is on the money is observing that modern culture is too dominated by the "left brain hemisphere" whose job is to categorise, manipulate (as in grasp and use) and fix as concrete. Education systems reinforce this too. It's a deep and systemic problem... so I lived the combination in this discussion of deep insight with practical action. Anand's book The Persuaders is just brilliant, I can't get enough of this man's thinking...

    Thank you Isabel Wilkerson for bringing the inhuman Indian Caste system into a strong focus among other important achievements of this book. For all its technological advances, Indian higher castes are proudly upholding this system even specifying desirable caste for a potential bride or groom in the matrimonial classified section of their newspapers. This is almost a neutral example compared to the treatment of the "Untouchable" caste- by the sheer misfortune of birth -who are marked for only cleaning jobs that no one will touch - for their children's entire life also.

    This is a dreadful panel that should have included only Dr. Neil Shubin - whose laboratory recently found a new fishapod - and Carl Zimmer. There is no good reason why Dr. Prescod-Weinstein was added to the panel, since she's not a biologist, and frankly, she monopolized most of the time, expressing her interest in promoting a "nonwhite view of science" and why she has to reject her childhood hero Carl Sagan since Sagan was white. There are other, much better, videos that feature only Shubin in conversation with Zimmer. As for the Brooklyn Book Festival, it has had an abysmal record in hosting STEM authors of which this must be seen as the latest, most notorious, example.

    There is no cast system in America. Some south Asian people who came to the USA had the understanding that black Americans were an inférieur race and started treating them like that. They eventually stopped and asked for forgiveness after black people In Houston for example, reacted violently They eventually understood that A/ black will not accept to be treated an inhuman way B/ the laws in American will not tolerate such behaviour C/ the public opinion will not accepte such a conduct In a cast society, there is no legal protection for the lower cast people who happened to be dark skin There is no way for the lower cast to object to inhumaine and humiliating treatment. The public opinion will be against any change. The higher cast will make sure that the lower cast will stay in their place. Black people living in a societies where there is a cast system like India are treated in inhuman ways. Ask africains how they are treated in they own countries by indo-Pakistanis ethnic origin living in theirs countries for century. In the UK often, members of the government indo pakistanais ethnic origin tend to adopt measures against African countries or black people. While living in the USA, I sometimes accounted blacks servants from lower cast brought in American by Middle Eastern families to serve them. Once these families learned that their servants were in contact with black Americans, they would quickly send them the same people were interacting with black but still view them as inferior race and often prohibited any mixed mariage etc. We should be cautious going around saying that the discrimination of black in America is routed in a cast system. That will be like opening a Pandora box. Such a statement will have negative implication for blacks Americans and for blacks around the world… This argument could be use to advocate for race separation and for the destruction of multicultural societies The respects earned by blacks could be taking back. Racism is a varus that have a capacity to contaminate people mind living in Different countries for centuries. Some people can be cured other people leave with the disease without knowing and other can never be cure. Claiming that we have another disease will not cure the one we already have. To paraphrase your guess this théorie of cast in America came from a stew….

    My takeaway is how the American caste system perpetuates itself with the white elite cornering 99% of the resources and leaving 1% for blacks and people of color. A hallmark of this caste system is the narrative that blames blacks and people of color, the victims of caste oppression, for their own condition. The story as told from vantage point of blacks reveals they are trapped in circumstances that stack the odds against ever breaking out of their conditions. Meanwhile the white elite escape blame shielded by the oppressor's narrative, often with collusion of church and instruments of the state. Kudos to Prof. Wilkerson for calling spades.
