Eeny, Meeny Madness – Beyond Racism
This is a common and disastrous theme in contemporary society. As long as we are willing to perceive, or deem ourselves responsible for, only one small part of our world, the suffering of the world as a whole can be overlooked, or declared beyond our job spec: 'I'm an oil executive, it's not my job to protect the climate.' 'I'm an arms manufacturer, it's not my job to prevent people killing each other.' 'I'm a science writer, it's not my job to comment on my government's war crimes.'
