Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t just about ‘I Have a Dream’—he had some real hot takes on society. Here’s one that might ruffle a few feathers: ‘We must rapidly begin the shift from a ‘thing-oriented’ society to a ‘person-oriented’ society. When machines and computers, profit motives, and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.’ So yeah, while we’re busy chasing the latest tech and pretending money solves everything, MLK was over here calling out the root problems. Let’s try to be more human-focused, folks—machines and money can wait.
