Colonizing Minds.
Harvard’s Definition of The Value of Executive Function.
How easy it is to homogenize western thinking.

I’m ever mindful of subtle psychological tricks, and often wonder if even the tricksters themselves notice they’re doing it, many a good intention has been backed by narrow notions!
A sharp eye for ill intentions and mind games is one of the many benefits of going through narcissistic abuse (neurodivergence helps too), but it does take time from the early stages of eyeballing everyone with a fine-tooth comb to relaxing and accepting your newly refined intuition.
The reason decolonization is necessary to finally gain some progress for ALL humans, is that our education system is backward and they don’t even notice they’re doing it!
Stuck in old worldviews that have stifled and harmed most nations, Harvard continues to align success with being a productive member of “the workforce”, of “a thriving economy”, and “a responsible community.”
As opposed to “living a healthy life” which is guaranteed success, Harvard tells us we must work for the colonizers to provide for the colonizers and if we do so we’re “responsible.”
We must follow the rules of going to schools that only provide an education for a small proportion of the school, while the remainder suffers from bullying and molding from their peers and superiors until they’ve crumbled and become one of the sheeples.
Many of the “disabilities” and “deficits” of the world would not even exist in a world that actually cared about, and catered to, every human being no matter what their background, or what society told you was considered “ideal.”
