Welcome to Meaningful Living

“The essence of dehumanization is the denial of a distinctively human mind to another person. People typically think about the mind in terms of two dimensions: Experience (the capacity to feel pleasure and pain) and agency (the capacity to plan, intend, and exert choice). Dehumanization therefore involves stripping either or both of these dimensions from how you are perceiving someone.” -Haque and Waytz (Harvard University, Northwestern University)
