Love him He really does speak a lot of sense.

Hearing him explain, it makes me wonder about when we refer to ISIS as being non-human, which is something I've done because when I think about them I don't consider them to be the same as us. Which of course they're not, in terms of their actions and beliefs, but they are still the same as us biologically which just makes me wonder a lot about WHY some people are capable of such atrocities, and if actually we're all capable, but for various reasons choose (consciously/subconciously?) to restrain that part of us. After all, history shows us that hate/conflict/killing is a part of humanity. But then I feel really guilty about associating them as human or comparing them to 'normal' people because I feel like I SHOULD dehumanize them as a way of expressing how strongly I dislike them and their actions. It's almost like if I humanise them, I'm to an extent giving some sort of justification for their actions. I don't know. It's all really interesting stuff to consider though.
