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..

nationality: human

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..
