USers: Listen to People from Outside the United States
We United States’ers need to listen with great respect to the people here from outside the United States, because their viewpoint, not only on what’s going on [happening] in the world but especially on what’s going on in the United States, can be extremely valuable to hear. The nonsense that we have acquired because of distress and brainwashing, the part so invisible to us because it’s been around our heads so long because we grew up inside of it, is not invisible to them.
I want to invite you who are from RC Communities outside the United States to speak up boldly. When you hear any of us United States’ers spouting nonsense, say, “Excuse me, that is nonsense.” It will at least get our attention, and possibly, if our fellow seatmates hold us down, we will listen while you explain why it is nonsense. . . .
. . . Let’s listen with great respect to each other, and especially to people from a culture, from a country, from a language different from our own.
