    Glenn, I love the Berlin quote. Everyone wants to be treated in accordance with their internal sense of their importance in a specific setting. Berlin sets a sort of floor on that, based strictly on our mere existence. On top of that is the sense that if I am a good basketball player on my team, I get some recognition from the people I care about and my own circle. It’s silly to think that someone else not interested in my team would have a clue who I am or care. Not everyone gets that point.
