Here's why it worked for me.
I understood w/powers of social influence - I can initiate some things that ppl without that influence can. I made a choice to try & use my power of social influence to do better & use it to try to mediate differences between ppl who actually shared many core values/ethics but allowed shitass stereotypes & fear of genuinely communicating to bridge differences.
If we have social influence powers - we should try to use that to better our worlds.
