In the Key That Our Souls Were Singing - Los Angeles Review of Books. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
People do not disbelieve in inequality or racism or global warming because they have not been informed: they disbelieve because they cannot or choose not to imagine it. They are cruel because to them, others have become an abstraction, and cannot be truly imagined.
Who exactly doesn't believe in inequality or racism? And global warming is not an object of belief. It is a subject for demonstration. And there is plenty of room for skepticism. There is no room for faith.
