Redefining People Like You?
By Ange Fonce
Redlining people is an efficient short term selection strategy... at least that is what you tell yourself.
The challenge with redlining... beyond the fact that it is morally repugnant... is simply it does not work... there is a difference between "people like you" and "you."
You... the human being... the person with a track record and a great attitude and a skillset deserve consideration for those things... for your psychological graphics and not your demographics.
When there is not so much data and information that you “know” about others... you often resort to crude measures of where you live or what you look like or what your name is to decide how to judge others.
Yet are you “aware” that the same transparency that the net is giving to all sorts means that the same is being “applied” to you?
Because “you” is undervalued and under noticed is so many ways by the principle of “people like us?”
When you say...
"I do not work with people like you.”
“I will not consider supporting someone like you.”
“I cannot invest in someone like you."
“I do not want to be in a relationships with you.”
You are “rejecting” and eliminating the “value” of others... and wasted an opportunity and stripped away not just someone else's dignity... you have stripped away your own too.
How about finding out...
“What have you done? “
“What do you know?”
“Where are you going?”
These “questions” are a great place to start in communicating VALUE!
To choose people because of what they have chosen... not where they started... not because this will always tell you what someone is capable of... because far too many people do not have the head start they deserve... and because it is demonstrably more useful than the crude... expensive... fear based shortcuts you are using far too often.
In a world where it is becoming easier than ever to see "you"... you can only benefit when you become anti racist... anti sexism... anti discrimination... caring for and conserving Nature and working for the benefit of “Humanity”... being in favour of equal opportunity and focused... and even obsessed on maximizing the opportunity everyone gets... early and often.
You become and live the life... of a Dynamic Lifer!
Thank you and may you enjoy a Prosperous and Dynamic day!
Yours Sincerely

The End Of "Everyone?"
By Ange Fonce
I am not sure that "everyone" ever existed in the first place, if it was ever possible to say.. "everyone loves..." "everyone respects...." or even... "everyone really does not like..." and there is no doubt at all that this is not true any more.
The internet has shown there is no "everyone."
Instead... the Internet has shown there are many tribes... many tribes of someone's.
That Humanity is not "one"... it is not governments... it is not nations... it is not ...
