Dehumanization doesn’t begin with violence.
It begins quietly; with a word, a label, a silence.
Before history’s worst atrocities, there were metaphors.
Parasite. Pest. Animal.
Each one a rehearsal for what came next.
Today, the unsettling truth is that dehumanization isn’t only history.
It is a living habit. In headlines. In policies. In workplaces. In the way we look at strangers, and in the way silence lets it pass.
That is why I created Dehumanization: The First Step Toward Anything, a 90-minute guided audio course. And starting now, the entire course is freely available to watch on YouTube.

Why it’s free
Some subjects are too urgent to place behind a paywall.
Dehumanization isn’t just an academic topic; it’s something we practice and encounter daily. To name it, to resist it, to unlearn it, should never depend on what someone can afford.
This course is free for everyone. Free to watch, free to download, free to share.
More than a video
If you’d like to go deeper, the course also comes with:
- The Audio only version
- A Key Concepts PDF: a distilled summary of the central ideas.
- A Reflection & Challenge Worksheet: prompts to notice your own habits of reduction, and to practice recognition.
