Chronic recognition deficiencies can culminate in recognition disorders (analogous to eating disorders) that are so severe, they take the form of aggressive behavior — even war and genocide. And once the tables are turned and former oppressors are seen as "nobodies," consciences are disengaged and anything goes. A simple test for tell if if a group of people is in the grip of evil is whether the dignity of the people outside the group is completely disregarded. Equally as dangerous as the much discussed gap between the rich and the poor is the dignity-indignity gap.
