Johann Hari
“but I felt unsettled to learn that the drugs we give kids turn out to be a reasonable proxy for meth.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention—and How to Think Deeply Again

Isabel Wilkerson
“We Americans were at war with each other—over our democracy.”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

Johann Hari
“Kids are now allowed to run around far less—instead of playing in the streets and in their neighborhoods, they now spend almost all their time inside their homes or school classrooms. Children are now fed a very different diet—one that lacks many nutrients needed for brain development, and is full of sugars and dyes that negatively affect attention. Children’s schooling has changed, so it now focuses almost entirely on preparing them for high-stress testing, with very little space for nurturing their curiosity. Is it a coincidence that ADHD diagnoses are rising at the same time as these big changes are occurring, or is there a connection?”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention—and How to Think Deeply Again

Isabel Wilkerson
“Every last one of us would now say to ourselves, I would never have attended such an event, I would never have attended a lynching. I would never have stood by, much less cheered, as a fellow human was dismembered and then set on fire here in America. And yet tens of thousands of everyday humans did just that in the lifetime of the oldest among us in Germany, in India, in the American South. This level of cold-hearted disconnection did not happen overnight. It built up over generations of insecurities and resentments.”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

Isabel Wilkerson
“While white immigrants stand to gain status by becoming ‘Americans,’ ” wrote the sociologist Philip Kasinitz, “by assimilating into the higher status group—black immigrants may actually lose social status if they lose their cultural distinctiveness.”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
