I wouldn't normally belabor a point but your unwillingness to share being right with Caitlin, and insisting instead that you must be right while she is wrong, emboldens me. There should be a Latin term for the rhetorical device of telling someone to go buy a book and read Ch. 10, instead of just telling them whatever of it proves your point. I did read something of Douglass recently, though, that talked about the woman who taught him to read and the community of people who stood up for him and protected him among whites. And he definitely didn't use his liberation to walk away from slavery and leave everyone else enslaved.
So when you answered Starry that there's a difference between interdependence and codependence, are you saying that we're psychologically enslaved while you're free? What indicates to you that we're not as free-thinking as you if we get along with other people and engage with them rather than disengaging? I think the Bodhisattvas have it right, and the Three Musketeers--not one without all.
