I am THAT Guy

I am THAT Guy

Hello Comrades, this week on the culture and camaraderie podcast; Damedici kicks it off with a conundrum he is unsure of people who don't know how to interact with humans that are unlike them or have quirks that they are not in favour to, as those people will determine that person is not worthy of being around due to that quirk or personality trait. Damedici wants people to all get along and that isn't prone to happen so he make the case of his thesis of man, being a human is more than congregating around people who are just like you its all about being around the characters and faces that are unlike you so you have a better view of the world because one way or the other we all need each other. In 20/25 years when this generation runs the world it Damedici doesn't want everyone to be reactionary its about being an active participant in this society having gratitude about the position you're in and being able to look after the system so you can best effect change.
