Thank you for sharing this story. I am going to have to sit with it for a while before I can respond meaningfully. (I also wanted to find that kids’ book.)

Your finest post yet, Annelise. Deeply personal and moving. Couldn’t agree more on the dehumanizing impact of deterrence models—rooted in abstract game theory models. That really resonated with me.

Thank you so much for reading and listening. Really appreciate your words about deterrence. We’re definitely in the minority on this one!
