Insightful convo with Wendy Hui Kyong and Jorge Cotte May 12, 2020 on network incentives. "What is disturbing about homophily is not only that it has become normalized — we presume it’s the only form of connection, thus erasing heterophily and indifference, which are key modes of connection — but also that it naturalizes racism and obscures institutional and economic factors. By personalizing discrimination, it transforms hatred into a form of love — a topic that Sara Ahmed has discussed in her work on white nationalism in The Cultural Politics of Emotion. And how do you show your love? By fleeing when others show up."
