I was thinking about all those little 'be nice' lessons we were given when we were young;
-This person have a different skin color? It's not important. -This person is fat? Don't judge them. -This person is acting stupidly? Look away. -This person is threatening you? Go get help. -This person is hurting you? Forgive him.
But in reality, in all these situations, we were actually being told not to listen to our instincts, not to listen to that voice in our heads that warned us; that voice that says; -Be wary! -Use your judgment! -Observe the differences and learn! -Defend yourself! -Get angry!
In summary: We have been taught not to listen to ourselves. Not to trust ourselves.
Isn't there something totally crazy about being taught to not listen to a primal instinct that tells us how to act, and how to feel, how to be careful of what's different?

What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm. Lastly, the web previews of t.me links have been given a new look, adding chat backgrounds and design elements from the fully-features Telegram Web client. For example, WhatsApp restricted the number of times a user could forward something, and developed automated systems that detect and flag objectionable content. The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych.
