We have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of addressing not only societal liberation but also personal emancipation of the mind. It suggests that true progress cannot be achieved solely through external changes, but also by challenging and freeing our own thoughts, beliefs, and perspectives. In order to create a better society, we must also focus on cultivating critical thinking, questioning oppressive norms, and fostering individuals' ability to think independently and openly ponder new ideas. By doing so, we not only free ourselves from mental chains but also contribute to the broader liberation of society.
