okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point

but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:

anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅

(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)

One fun lesson from the long history of speculation about the future is that we simply cannot imagine most of the ways in which the future will be different. 19th century authors in the midst of the early Industrial Revolution wrote about a 1990s where people still took carriages from place to place and the Ottoman Empire was a major world power. 1920s authors didn’t anticipate the invention of the computer, and 1950s authors didn’t anticipate its miniaturization, or the importance of networking. They also thought we’d have Moon bases by now. I don’t know what the blind spots of early 21st century futurism are, but I know they exist, and that any attempt to simply extrapolate current trends is going to fall flat on its face sooner or later. Sometimes it’s because technology improves in ways we don’t expect, and sometimes it’s because it doesn’t improve in ways we do expect, and sometimes it’s because history or social forces come in out of left field and shake everything up.
