discrimination as equity
Seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees. – Icarus Deception
The more we see our universal flag as a thumbprint, the more we let you simply be you, perhaps the less we’ll find to be prejudice about. Imagine we recognize our differences, to infinity… imagine – no countries… imagine – no possessions.. no labels..
getting so small – as to be ginormously beautiful and one..
The problem with labels is that once they’re applied, it’s impossible to see what lies beneath. When the world changes, then, our labels cease to function and we’re blind to the opportunities that are presenting themselves. – Icarus Deception
Partial freedom is no freedom. – Krishnamurti

from david graeber‘s theory of value:
223
same goes for act of declaring two things equiv.. by doing so one is not stating that they are same in every way: one is simply stating they are same along dimensions one considers important in that context.. and that other possible criteria are, in that context, irrelevant.. ‘all human beings are equal because they are all equally in possession of an immortal souls; fact that their feet vary radically in size has no bearing’.. element of value here.. turns on which criteria are considered meaningful/important in any give context..
imagine if we could live like .. nationality: human – and render any/everything else (any form of m\a\p) irrelevant s
fairly self evident.. matters become more complicated when one moves from what people feel should not be compared to what they feel cannot.. ie: dumont’s ‘all human beings are equal because all are unique’.. our individuality makes us incommensurable, hence effectively equiv..

so fitting with the start up of you.
ellen langer – prejudice decreases as discrimination increases…
this is where we find that.. people are good..and we disseminate a true people agenda… when we facilitate the thumbprint..
no need to spend countless effort/time on defense or on seeking applause or ? when we are working on our thumbprint…
david – if i bring up sal kahn – most people assume two camps – in or out… same with all of public ed… same with life..
what if we are living in the time of and..
what if we don’t have to take sides..
image that..
let’s scale people.
no?
Imagine there is no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You, you may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will be as one
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You, you may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will live as one

Categorisation leads to complication and one ends up serving no one well. “The day you treat everyone the same is the day you breathe light and worry less about who might feel offended or not. Make your job easier,” he says.

justitia’s rule of equality – of equivalence – reverses principle.. she turns the *equality of unequals into the ineq of equals..
