If you don't treat someone as an individual rather than a characteristic, you do not value them, and instead you further all aspects of segregation and the trouble that comes with it.

You should know this because half of the things in the universe live with you. You may know those things as “mother”

[@WolfCage123]

@@frozennbutter6425 I feel betrayed. Your starting line promised so much to me, someone who has absolutely no concept of the universe and somehow thinks someone could live with half, someone making a twisted metaphor that was to be beautifully laid out in the proceeding sentence, perhaps some great scientist here to present a lighthearted albeit not pure science but complex theory that explains the mysterious allure you piqued. Imagine my surprise to read the words that followed, sometimes in life you're better not knowing the truth, its so much worse than our imagination.

As someone who took part in this, I feel there was a flaw in the process. When I answered each question, there was a response. Green if you voted with the majority, red if your vote went against the majority. I personally felt the colours had an influence on my vote, making me consider what others thought, and potentially impacting the way I voted. Obviously this is minor, but it's definitely not perfect in my view.
