You don't usually trust the other side very much. Dehumanization , in the worst kinds of conflicts, people don't even see their adversary as human.Moralism, goodness and right is entirely on my side.
That's a great question. of dehumanization or outcomes of dehumanization ?
That's a great question. So dehumanization , for me, is the best catchall.
And he was comparing that with SpaceX or with, you know, like, I think it's that exactly what we touched on with that thought process of that sort of dehumanization within companies. I think that's what ultimately causes maybe.
were also incarcerated. It's the reminder that all the ways that we can create love and connection in defiance of the dehumanization that happens, that love can insist on being present even in these cages. Well, love is an act of resistance against oppression and injustice.
You know? And I smiled about that. There's dehumanization , and there's a disconnect in it.
fail to see others as the people they are. And I actually think all of those theories are right. I think a lot of bad behavior is caused by lack of control. A lot of it is caused by selfishness. A lot of it is caused by dehumanization . But I think we don't understand evil. We don't understand bad behavior. And this to me is the missing piece of the puzzle that once you appreciate that things that were otherwise mysterious could come clear and we understand we could understand better
a rise in individualism. How is individualism related to dehumanization ? I can illustrate this by using an example from my neighborhood where I live in Chicago.
So in looking at the data and seeing that this dehumanizing shift has occurred, I also point to what I call "four pillars of dehumanization ," trends that have also manifested out of dehumanization and continue to cause dehumanization . And three of these will be very clear to you.
I'll spend an additional bit of time on the fourth one. So the four pillars of dehumanization , trends that you see since the '60s or '70s that have some relationship to dehumanization -- one very clear one is the rise of automation.
do for me in terms of the marketplace, rather than evaluating people in terms of just being part of the same community members. And so how does this relate to dehumanization ? I'll give you two extreme examples of how marketization dehumanizes, and then I'll tie this into our current discussion and debate on immigration.
That's a great question. So the factors you identified that cause dehumanization are sort of long-term structural trends that are not under anybody
That's a great question. I've called them pillars of dehumanization , which is kind of a cheat word because other academics would want to know, all right, are these things causes
That's a great question. They're sort of markers of dehumanization .
That's a great question. trying to figure out if "dehumanization " is actually the right word because it seems to me with what's happening
That's a great question. Have you thought about whether "dehumanization " is actually the right word for this?
And then we'd have a lot of leeway in terms of skin color at least in that conversation-- Pacific Islander, Native American as well. We're looking at what we call dehumanization but should be termed as encoding is fully human.
Why did police just start killing black people? There have been state sanctioned dehumanization and violence against black people since the inception of this country. And so again, I think if we're going to move forward and have a conversation about how we eradicate state sanctioned violence against black people, we
Do you have any ideas where she might have been educated? So those two quotes are always to talk about the dehumanization that someone is trying to challenge us with and how Black women continue
the opposite, neglecting another person or treating another person as no different than an object or subhuman animal. To get a bit more technical about how we define "dehumanization " in our studies and "humanization"-- humanization we really refer to as the consideration of another person as having a mind an inner mental life, the capability for thoughts, feelings, intentions, desires, dreams,
We just don't necessarily want to live next to them and engage with them, and so again, individualism is not necessarily a negative thing, but I think it corresponds to this rise in dehumanization or this dehumanizing shift. So in looking at the data and seeing that this dehumanizing shift has occurred, I also point to what I call "four pillars of dehumanization ,"
That's a great question. I think it's the subtle forms of dehumanization , the pure disengagement from others, the kind of "live and let live" philosophy,
It was a world where after each girl was fucked, she would blow a kiss to the camera and the screen would fade to black, happily ever after. This seemingly simplistic, dehumanization of sex that would always end with the girl being told how dirty she was and never anybody else involved. It was a strange world.
always is like that, especially at large-scale wars. - That's right, and on top of dehumanization , there is also this other thing called de-individuation, which is where you see yourself as part of the group, and you no longer see yourself as an individual. And so, it's this fight of us versus them. And so you need both of those things. You need that
undermining civilian protection? Well, there's a process of dehumanization ongoing since the 7th of October, and the biggest act of dehumanization is the 7th of October. Babies have been burned, people you know, women have been raped, and and and people have held a hostage, starved for more
declaration. And in the declaration we talked about, we started talking about the issues off recognition, justice and development. And in that declaration, we contextualized the healing that takes place in our workshops within white supremacist dehumanization
You know? And I smiled about that. Of course, it takes the human piece out-- Dehumanization .
So what happened was a lot of intellectuals around the world were horrified by this. Because again, this is mass dehumanization of people, which followed the persecution of a lot of the minorities in Europe. So this is a photo I found today.
control. You know, you lose your temper. Uh you have this sexual desire, you attack somebody, you you you you have this material desire, you steal something. Or you might think it's selfishness, valuing yourself so much more than others. Or you might think it's um it's dehumanization . You fail to see others as the people they are. And I actually think all of those theories are right. I think a lot of bad behavior is caused by lack of control. A lot of it is caused by selfishness. A
Rhetoric like this, to what extent do you see this dehumanizing Palestinians and further undermining civilian protection? Well, there's a process of dehumanization ongoing since the 7th of October, and the biggest act of dehumanization is the 7th of October.
And it's still happening in different forms today. And so colonization brought not only like the concept of land ownership, but it also created dehumanization of people of color.
of a survivor, Roma Kaltman, who talks about the dehumanization in Auschwitz.
is basically the culmination of 15 years of research-- neuroimaging research, behavioral research, survey research-- and broadly, my 15 years of research has been on the topic of humanization and dehumanization . And I'll start by taking a moment to define what I mean by "humanization" and "dehumanization ." So at the most basic level, humanization
and broadly, my 15 years of research has been on the topic of humanization and dehumanization . And I'll start by taking a moment to define what I mean by "humanization" and "dehumanization ." So at the most basic level, humanization refers to deep social engagement with another person, deeply connecting with another person, considering another person, and dehumanization is just
We can look at various data sources, and unfortunately, there's no set of surveys that measures dehumanization per se. But there's a lot of good survey data out there that measures topics related to dehumanization . So for example, we can look at studies of empathy, and luckily for us, people have been asking college students
So virtually every country on the planet for which survey data exists shows a rise in people valuing individualism over collectivism, and let me unpack what this means so you can see how it's related to dehumanization . "Individualism" simply refers to the idea of people placing a high value on the self, on independence,
That's a great question. It's the best catchall, and if we stick to this idea of dehumanization as a failure to consider others as having an inner mental life,
That's a great question. And we oppose it. and that seems worse than dehumanization and a bigger problem, actually, maybe.
You know? And I smiled about that. It's a lot. Another way that all of this dehumanization is very real, particularly here in New York City-- one of the organizations that I fundraise for
In the first level, you see the level of dehumanization is very low.
Babies have been burned, people you know, women have been raped, and and and people have held a hostage, starved for more than 700 days. So, I mean, there's a history of dehumanization , which was, you know, started by the attack of 7th of October.
In today's world, especially right now, you can go on social media and just see the dehumanization that's happening.
And I'll start by taking a moment to define what I mean by "humanization" and "dehumanization ." So at the most basic level, humanization refers to deep social engagement with another person, deeply connecting with another person, considering another person, and dehumanization is just the opposite, neglecting another person or treating another person as no different than an object or subhuman animal.
To the extent that we are failing to consider another person's inner mental life, we are dehumanizing them. And what I have based the book on is this idea that's evident in the data that we've been subtly engaging in more and more dehumanization toward each other over the past at least five decades, so how can we document this trend, what I'm calling a "dehumanizing shift"?

So what automation does-- again, making no value judgment here-- is it does separate people, and it makes people less reliant on others. It decreases interdependence. It increases independence, so automation is one pillar of dehumanization . The second of no surprise to you is what I call "stratification," which is just the rise of income inequality, and we
That's a great question. It's very puzzling because in many ways, that was a moment of real progress, and if you look at-- forgetting about dehumanization for a moment,
So we've created this kind of pseudoscientific graph, if you will, that plots the level of dehumanization , which
There's no war that didn't start with someone, somebody, a group contagiously having this dehumanization of the other,
