Ok, so session is finished and it was as boring and hollow as expected. Lots of wishy washy bullshit.
Anyway, the fun story was we were discussing definitions of words and this douchey facilitator shared an anecdote about his 15 year old nephew (this was the second anecdote about this nephew in the first 15 minutes).
So we're taking about the word "respect" and what it means.
Our group came up with the usual bullshit about being kind to each other etc. My contribution was the classic do into others... line of treat people how you want to be treated.
He disagreed and said that he was having a conversation with his nephew about the Barbie movie and his nephew said something that made him re-evaluate his outlook on respect. It's not about treating people how you would want to be treated, but rather treating people how THEY WANT to be treated.
You don't need to be a an undergrad philosophy major with a Good Will Hunting fetish to see the problem with that kind of thinking.
Couldn't help myself and had to speak up. Posed a question about Donald Trump wanting to be treated in a certain way and whether he would do that.
