We live in a big social world, with lots of other people. Seven billion people. We don’t have time to get to know everyone deeply, to learn of their struggles, their journeys, to give them all the benefit of the doubt. So we batch process them. You could call it profiling, you could call it prejudice, you could call it judging books by their covers, you could call it social triage. The first cut is the deepest.
