This is your brain on social justice
Oct. 12th, 2014 12:23 pmTwo facts:
1.) This morning, I spent about 80% of my yoga class mentally considering the problem of human trafficking in middle-class America, the socioeconomic inequalities that give rise to it, and what (barring the unlikely elimination of worldwide poverty) we can do to mitigate it.
2.) My performance in said class, as measured by sense of focus, alignment, and flow, was probably in the 90th percentile of my (many) past classes.
I'm not really sure what this says about me. But if it's a subject that interests you, there are far worse places to start than this article.
