While writing recent war explainers, I was aching for a chance to reflect more directly on #GlobalHumanism:
What it means as a philosophy.
How it champions both our individuality and our shared humanity against anything that would divide us to do us harm.
Identity is a key part of the human experience. But wherever one's identity requires harm done to another person, our species always suffers for it.
Who are we really, and what do we truly "owe"?

Perhaps it is important to begin with a consideration of our identity as human beings. That is by no means a given, and is a weighty question.
@MLClark "Identity is a key part of the human experience. But wherever one's identity requires harm done to another person, our species always suffers for it."
Which was both the title and the theme for the excellent two-parter in Season 2 of "The Orville." 😊
