  1. I know it seems collective vs individual is a legitimate opposition, except that the collective has no agency! The individual is primary, and the constituent element of the collective. The collective is an aggregation of individuals. So comparing the collective to the individual is an apple-and-oranges comparison...not legitimate. The contrary implication is a deception...

  2. "Our era doesn't like racism", doesn't make sense! "Eras" can't DO anything, let alone "like" something! Clarity of thought starts with the words you use. Treating "era" as a sentient thing is a colloquialism--not philosophy, or reason. It leads to confusion and error.

  3. In distinguishing right and wrong, you must moralize. Similarly, if you would eschew moralizing, you'll have to avoid identifications of "right" and "wrong". "Good" and "evil" are human conceptualizations/attributions, NOT to be found in the natural world. Many people rely on such ideas to relieve them of their responsibility for their THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS..."the devil made me do it"--Flip Wilson
