I think mostly the commodifying comes after I've done something that has some other value to me.

Do you sometimes look up from the computer and look around the room and know you are alone, I mean really know it, then feel scared ?

does a society exist where it's become acceptable to wear 'helmets' enclosing one's entire head when in public to preempt social interaction

I just don't feel good if I'm repeating myself.

If I focused hard on getting a literary agent, and doing things like that, instead of designing my blog's header, I would have more money, I think. I think I don't view myself as an author. I view myself as a person. I view [anything] as part of being a person, so I feel okay with "marketing" or other things like that.

The correct arrangement of words will make these bad feelings go away tonight.

Focusing on being a person instead of an Asian or an [anything] seems to promote a worldview that encourages people to treat others based on what each person has specifically done in their life, which seems like it would reduce such things as war, racism, unfairness, "hate crimes," [other things most people feel aversion toward].
