Another chat with Gemini that started with me asking about an article on Mental Health, that led me to question why Western European “Age of Enlightenment” ideologies keep coming up.
Off topic: Just noticed the name change for your blog -- love it!
Now -- is there a how-to for "Oversharing at the Dinner Party" that somehow builds friend circles as you seem to be able to do, rather than my experience that it generates social cancellation (not invited to future Dinner Parties, etc).

How deeply do you read while indexing? Do you have thoughts on how far the Frenkfurt school uses Marxist critical theory to question Euro Supermacist ideologies (including those from the Enlightenment). Even Marx himself had some pretty supremacist ideologies that I believe went unquestioned, such as falsely believing the Haudenosaunee Confederacy represented "Primitive Communism" while what Europeans were proposing was somehow going to be superior (but has never actually happened -- due to conflicts between current European worldviews and actual collectivism).
I know, me sharing my questioning European worldviews at Dinner Parties within the Dominon of Canada won't go well. It is interesting how many self-identified "not racist" people identify with Eurosupremacist ideologies and are unable to recognize their beliefs as such.... So I tend to not talk about it unless asked, and even then very carefully when there are "white" people around.
I wrote you an email to sort of answer this, but I don't read deeply. But I still glean a lot, and when something piques my interest, I slow down (which is negative from a "getting paid angle," but worth it). I think if you overshare with humility and lots of jokes, it works...it's all about spoofing yourself (honestly) so others can see that you don't think you are a better person, or smug, but that you are proud of all your foibles, flaws, and FABULOUS facilities...I was trying real hard for alliteration there haha
This was very timely for me as I just index two books about the enlightenment and one was focused on the Frankfurt school! Well done!
