Who Deserves a Mind?
Think about the last time you apologized to your car after hitting a pothole. Or felt guilty shutting down your laptop mid-update. These small moments reveal something profound: we're constantly deciding who-or what-gets to join the most exclusive club in existence. Not a country club or secret society, but something far more consequential: the club of minds. This invisible membership determines everything. It's why we mourn pets but eat pork, why we prosecute corporations but can't put them in jail, why a CEO punching a child feels monstrous while a child punching a CEO seems almost funny. The stakes couldn't be higher-throughout history, denying someone's mind has justified slavery, genocide, and unspeakable cruelty. Yet we rarely examine how we decide who gets in. Here's the unsettling truth: minds aren't objective facts we discover. They're perceptions we grant or withhold based on subtle cues. And understanding this changes everything about how we see the world.
