Humanity is a duality. ‘Humanity’ is defined by us, our species, humans, the animal that rose above all other beasts to conquer the world. But the word ‘Humanity’ also means compassion. While language itself is one of Humankind’s unique abilities, the way we use language can be humane. ‘Laid to rest’ is softer than ‘Kicked the bucket.’ ‘Restroom’ is more polite than ‘crapper.’ ‘Alt-right’ is less offensive than ‘Nazi.’ But when does politeness push into the realm of lying? The pressure to not be a burden forces us to simplify our demands. But sometimes our demands are complicated; can we ask them without sounding like too much? Just sit back and let Mat and Veronique speak as we just dominate your headspace regarding, or regardless, of what’s Just.
