I’m Iranian American and I realized after years of 9/11 programming that I subconsciously hated myself, even though I had a positive upbringing. From 8 years old to my early twenties I missed out on so much because of the false shame I bought into. Being half white I opted to identify more Caucasian in order to avoid bullying but it only further suppressed the feelings I was perpetuating about myself. It's a matter of piquing people’s curiosity so they can discover themselves. Genuine thanks to you Max for continuing to share your perspective. This is a first time comment for me but your shows have helped me wake up to myself over the years and to take action in combating the smart grid. Great episode and great opening quote. All the best.
