[@hotto5150]

Well that's just because they validate your beliefs. You might as well say that "I find people that agree with me the most intelligent because they share the same opinion as me". The people who say they don't want to tread on eggshells are usually people who hold problematic views that are racist/sexist/homophbic but don't want to be challenged on it.

[@hotto5150]

@@kind-hearted-thievesjoe1512 I mean it depends on what you mean by "watch what you say". It could mean that you use slurs and casually make racist jokes and she would right to call you out on it. It's really not that different from social norms because at the end of the day being "woke" is about consideration for other people especially minorities because what you do and say that you consider "normal" could be used against them to oppress them.

Indeed. Sometime ago, I began sensing the hollow nature of arguments or statements taken from nuanced sharing to be used as trump cards in debates. Like, it isn't one's duty to educate others. Or how it is unlikely a POC can be racist towards a white person. Or transwomen are women. Most times, the original contexts of such statements may have qualitative validity in their specific circumstances but online culture has sort of extrapolated the data for general use for everything under the sun. It reduced meaningful experiences into catchphrases that cut off deep discussions. I've personally made the mistake and regret it very much. I failed to learn. And the ephemeral victory at the Cup of Comments left me feeling empty, drained and ignorant. And I always felt ugly cause.. I think that's how the other person felt.

I loved how she talked about people wanting to be “seen” as “good people”, but if you are always honest then others may not see you as a good person. She’s correct in saying that people are now making a choice between the two, and that is so interesting because I’ve always been taught, and I believe it to be true, that honesty is a precursor to being a good person. If we have to lie to others about ourselves in order to be seen as a good person then I personally don’t think it’s worth it. I am, and will continue to be, an honest good person being seen as a bad person by others that are admittedly liars.

[@rooroo8767]

Yes interesting isn’t it. I find honesty as a concept can depend heavily on context. Everyone lies. Everyone loves. Everyone hates. This is as honest as I can be. On the other hand, you can be honest without omitting the entire truth. Is this lying or being dishonest? Or is this the nuance of human interaction to try and keep an even keel? These are interesting times. Good time to have conservations as long as you’re not being shut down from speech.

She is speaking my language. The most radical act human beings can do is to forgive. Forgiveness starts with other radical acts like compassion and empathy. Superiority is toxic whether it be racial, ethnic, or as we are seeing now, moral. Actual moral people understand that life is nuanced, and holding people to an unattainable standard is holding them to no standard at all because ultimately one will have to lie and deceive to be perceived as living up to something that can’t be lived up to. We must work together, and give people room to make mistakes, and to grow, or else we are doing society an immense disservice, and that is truly immoral.

[@JRobbySh]

Well, is that not the central message of Christianity? But the message is constantly subverted those of us who fail to be Christlike. “Father, forgive them!

she is one of the most intelligent and articulate persons that i have ever listened to in my life. cant wait for her book

[@greenfairy666]

everything out of this woman's mouth is precise, well thought out, intelligent, and so eloquent. one of the best speakers i've heard

[@kimberlyearly8918]

Wow! She may be the most intelligent woman I've ever heard! So many amazing points that I feel like I need to watch again! Times have been very troubling and it's refreshing to hear someone speak with so much wisdom.

[@ladynori]

Ayishat, I really appreciate her talking about the ginger child that was me, I hated my skin tone so much from being made fun of I tanned in tanning beds now I have a large ugly scar because of melanoma, people are so quick to see the worst in people it’s not fair, everyone has a story

[@bobsmith5441]

Same. Grew up believing I was unlovable and disgusting because of having ginger hair. I still believe I'm inherently ugly and don't think that will ever leave me. Bullied and was made the but of the joke for years. The more I laughed at it, the less it happened. My hair is quite dark now. Have a friend who is still very ginger and he still gets a lot of shit at 40

[@allthumbs3792]

So sad to hear you suffered from the mean spirit and ignorance of others. I’ve never understood the negative comments aimed at redheads. As a plain brunette child I envied a friend for her freckles and beautiful richly colored red hair, dazzling in the sun. I think redheaded, true ‘ginger’ people are absolutely stunning and luminous. They seem to glow from within!

That was one of the best interviews of Triggernometry, especially because I feel that Mrs Akanabi is actually one of the sensible people and not so many folks who pretend that they are

[@jaredgriffiths1361]

What a fabulous mind and way of expressing her thoughts. I wish i'd seen this earlier as she seems to be one of the most balanced and thought provoking people i've heard in a while.

[@hanachelache66]

She has so much good old fashioned common sense. What a great guest!

[@MsMBrandDesign]

What a wonderful eloquent person, its so refreshing to hear a clear voice allowed to talk. Bravo to the interviewers for letting her speak her opinion. This woman is a valid role model for budding free thinkers. 👍

[@feey0x]

Can I just say what a refreshing discussion this was. Incredible!

[@cybrarian9]

My goodness this woman is very wise. She's a pleasure to listen to as she's calm, erudite, clear, speaking from an analytical and open-minded perspective, and so on. She's able to see many sides of a discussion/argument, and speak to each side, appreciate the other points of view, but still defend her own beliefs and positions. Yes, the world could use more of her kind of human being who have her qualities if this is how she is in her whole way of life, way of living.

[@miggymod]

I would vote for this woman to become PM, regardless of what party she represented - amazing woman and a superb voice of reason.

Ayishat is an absolute class act. Grounded, measured, creative and fiercely intelligent. A wonderful introduction to the week and wish her all the luck for her career.

About 10 years ago a friend/coworker told me I was oppressing him though "subconscious institutional racism". I said "if I'm oppressing you why can't I get you to shut up about it". He didn't have an answer for that but we did get drunk and play video games.

[@nickwiz900]

She is sooooo right. Especially the bit where if you deny people a voice you risk pushing them away radicalising them and creating the very thing you don't want.

[@ivorbiggun710]

I totally agree with Konstantin regarding JK Rowling. I have always thought of her as a bit of a lefty and don't, generally agree with her pov. But the shit storm that has followed her tweet regarding menstruation has completely brought me to her defence. That some fucking school has renamed a house and, effectively, expunged her from history because of her, let's face it, pretty sensible views after all she has done to encourage kids to read is quite extraordinary.

[@shadowlicked]

The "sex isn't gender" dichotomy is a core tenet of modern feminism, and you're not woke if you can't avoid stepping in that one -- it makes you a TERF. The only upside of TERFs in 2020 is that they're more honest about blaming males and keeping them out of their clubhouse. She deserves what she's getting and no one should feel bad for her. It's a mistake to think that there is any constructive way to engage with these people on twitter in the first place. It's not for nuanced conversation, it's for dunking on "nazis" and retweeting catty vitriol. You have to catch people with their guard down and ask them questions to make them think which can't happen there.

[@vaporwave4880]

Brilliant. We can add her name to the growing list of articulate, insightful and free-thinking black intellectuals that are beginning to make themselves heard in this destructive woke period of history. We need these people so much right now.

[@badgerlife9541]

Add to this list: Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Candice Owens. Do you have any other recommendations?

[@sanniepstein4835]

A regular media fast is a good idea. For people who've never left school, a year or more is enlightening.

[@merelysapien6684]

This will not happen for one big reason. Most people have lost meaning in their lives. Everyone is chasing something to cling on and 'activism' on social media has given many people the true meaning that they lack in their lives. This is why you'll see people existing in echo chambers online, they make friends with people who only think like them and everyone who's outside of their chamber must have something wrong with them.

[@justinfernandez4309]

She’s a thinker/revolutionary mind. Listening to conversations like is absolutely refreshing. There’s not too many people I could have this type of conversation with WITHOUT them eventually going off the rails. I do my best to keep a level head, and I feel like it’s hard to find anybody who have any sense anymore. Just my thoughts 💯 Loved this interview

[@Catina28]

Love this interview. I think exactly the same way and have been attacked by both black and white for my ideals... But I will stay strong and keep sharing my views.

[@shreyashbhattarai7148]

Thank you for this. She manages to articulate a few things i had been thinking over the last few weeks, but wasn't able to form into words. We need more intelligent, courageous people like this to change the tenor of the conversation online.

[@carlminns7442]

What an amazing woman. This is the best 1 hour of you tube i've watched in a long time

[@ironjohnlad]

This woman is brilliant ! Very articulate, intelligent, careful, constructive, and well worth listening to. Many people project their trauma onto others, because they can not self reflect. Easier to blame others than take responsibility for their own trauma. Victimhood is used as a form of oppression. And yes discrimination is not the same of oppression.

[@barrywhitesavedmylife7957]

This woman is awesome, had never heard of her before. Great interview.

[@gregorykollarus8190]

Love her! She makes me feel less alone in this world. I view myself in a much more complicated light now, and I am becoming a better person through self exploration. Thank god for people like her. I’ve noticed people who think like this are never from America. The USA is my home, and can someone tell me why we are so destructive towards ourselves and others?

[@northamerican2490]

I'm white, and prior to the George Floyd incident and ensuing BLM uprising all over the world, I had many black friends. We laughed and cried together, shared many moments in each others lives, weddings, funerals, births, graduations. Helped decorate each others homes, went to church and many events together, holidayed together, dined out and partied together, were totally involved in each others lives in every meaningful sense. Then George Floyd happened and everything changed. They began to act as if I, by virtue of my whiteness, was too different to understand their plight; that somehow all the personal experiences they attributed to racism in their lives caused me to be incapable of seeing things as they knew them to be. But, I ask you, what did George Floyd, a man none of us knew, have to do with our friendship? What changed? None of them have spoken to me since. Can't help but see the irony in people complaining about racism, all the while cutting off their friendships with others of another color.

[@dontarguewithidiots7459]

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I really am. The only thing I can say is that the people you REALLY want in your life will see you as YOU.

[@tomjohnson6860]

She is great to listen to - calm and easy-going yet very on point and concise.

[@charlytaylor1748]

You got there, Konstantin! I've been thinking lately there's a culture of irresponsibility which is a personal not political issue. Something is happening to our psychologies.

My wife is black (I'm white) and when I told her I don't support the organization BLM... shit hit the fan. Happy to say we are working through it but I share the exact views of Ayishat, and this message needs to get out.

[@cynthiajohnson9412]

"A philosopher is not something you should call yourself." Spoken like a true philosopher. I feel the same way about the word poet. No one should ever call themselves a poet. At best they can say they try to write poetry. On second thought, just call yourself a writer and let others decide whether work can be elevated to the level of poetry.
