This Cracks in the Cement episode explores the ways in which white colonizer settler culture insists we ignore context (relationships, multi-dimensionality, who we are, how are our day is going, the weather, the place we sit/stand, what happened on our walk over, how well we slept last night, our astrological tendencies, ... and on and on) and pretend we are individuals, and that aspects of Earth and Life can be looked at as if they exist outside of the web of life. And there's some stuff about how that way of being was invented by a scared man seeking safety and predictability, Thomas Hobbes. And also some stuff about taking responsibility for following social rules that enable Hobbes's system of separation, oppression, and control. Punchline: Sloooow down and get high on context.......... WOOHOO!
