I have thought a lot recently about how every thinker in ethics and moral philosophy seems to think that only elites matter. The definition of “elite” can be narrow or wide, but fuck it seems like the most enlightened amongst us do not even realize ordinary people exist beyond in an theoretical, academic sense.
People have various degrees of bigotry and stupidity, but you are 100% right that the vast majority of people just want to help each other and live a decent life.
