A batch of the best highlights from what Todd's read, .
privilege tends to be experientially unfamiliar with genuine disempowerment.
When people who subscribe to historically successful ideologies, ones that have been socially dominant, go on to experience a decrease in influence, it can qualitatively feel like an existential threat. And the regime presiding over the shrinking of their influence can get construed by them as a tyrannical force, as the instrument of their persecution.
So they end up catastrophizing their situation because even a temporary “unprivileging” of their perspective feels to them, from the inside, not as an acceptable loss but as an intolerable form of subjugation.
They adopt a framework of suppression when all that’s really happening is society is adjusting to more and different voices acquiring a share of political power.

Focus. Do not try to do too many things at once or to improve everything at the same time. Find the one unique thing that you can do better than anyone else and focus all of your attention on doing that very well. Collaborate with others to provide breadth.
