I should note that it feels uncomfortable to say that the above process is one that I routinely use, primarily because of how obviously broken it is upon reflection. You’d never catch me audibly saying, or even explicitly thinking, “Dante doesn’t matter/isn’t human because he doesn’t agree with me.”
