Agreed! At bottom, the universalist values that are now rejected and replaced by "stand

point theory" and lived experiences have left us in solipsistic cages. I'm not sure how we get back to those values of empathy (not just sympathy) for others. The values of free speech, listening and not just hearing, and empathy seemed to work for the last 50 years, and we have made enormous progress, with more to come---We can only do this with non-strident push back and rational discussion that starts from "we are all human"....as a first principle.
