  • A small black child rides on their father's shoulders, as the two hold hands
    We teach girls to be likeable, to be nice, to be false. And we do not teach boys the same. This is dangerous.

  • In an outstretched palm, star-shaped glitter sparkles
    The wellspring of decency is loving this life in which people die, people suffer, there are limits, and we make mistakes. The wellspring, then, of moral action is not utopia, not a counterfactual vision, not a declaration that the world could and should be otherwise....

    The 7 Jobs Capitalism Asks of All of Us: 1. Measure Self Worth by Work: Don’t believe in the inherent goodness of people. Instead decide that everyone’s worth is only as much as they achieve. 2.
