It’s not about what I say or what they say, or what anyone says, it’s about the effect that it has on others.
I don’t think 2022 standards are that much better than 1940 standards or 1840 standards, or 740 BCE standards, or Ancient Roman standards or Tang Chinese standards or Viking standards or Aztec standards or whatever else.
I think all the systems are broken — still, today, everywhere. and need to be reevaluated.
Elephant parable.
They’re all broken in a lot of different ways. Only by bringing the whole world and the present and the past together and honestly examining without bias and without discomfort, can a positive system be built.
