Q: Are Stereotypes Bad? That’s a really interesting question. I think the short answer is NO. The development of more complex, inclusive and nuanced cognition — within ourselves and our societies — obviously requires that we learn habits of critique and become alert to the hidden assumptions built into our habits of communication and perception. Duh. Nonetheless, it is not wrong in principle to use cartoonish simplifications of mind.
