Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

"Something I find really challenging about being in Aotearoa is also something I find really beautiful… Everybody is focused on celebrating what makes us all the same. However it often glosses over what makes us different... not taking the time to respect those differences causes a lot of discomfort and tension.“

@Radical_EgoCom Just stop debating with people in general. Especially on social media, which has never been a good place for discussions. People use social media to advertise their viewpoints and complaints, only expecting applause and understanding in return.

"Bumper sticker explanations of complicated issues are usually wildly inaccurate!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
There are a lot of people with instant insight on everything and yet who are experts at nothing.
Isn't that the way it goes?
If you spend any time talking with anyone today, it would seem that they are suddenly experts on tariffs and their impact on regional, national, and local economies. Everyone is offering up concise statements of what it means, where it will go, and what will happen. I prefer to listen to global trade experts and economists - folks who are trained in this stuff. In the same way, I'd rather listen to a PhD in vaccine medicine than some quack who gets his information off an obscure conspiracy theorist's Website.
That's why ideas like "trickle-down economics will work" statements are always such a false promise. The notion that tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations automatically benefit everyone has been repeatedly challenged by economic research showing limited "trickle-down" effects and increasing wealth inequality. And yet the bumper sticker wisdom lives on.
Why does this happen?
"Bumper sticker" phrases - catchy one-liners about complex issues - sacrifice accuracy for memorability. They fail to address the multiple perspectives, historical context, systemic factors, competing values, and technical details that complex problems involve. They often aren't based on much more than opinions.
The fact is, oversimplifying leads to:
- Overlooking cause-effect complexities
- Creating false either/or scenarios
- Substituting emotion for analysis
- Reinforcing existing beliefs
Good leaders know when simplicity works and when issues demand a deeper explanation. They engage with complexity and guide others through it thoughtfully. They also know that while bumper-sticker wisdom can be popular, it causes more problems than good.
Ironically, my statement about bumper stickers is itself a bumper sticker - though one that points out its limitations!
Perhaps we need simple reminders to look beyond simplicity.

Futurist Jim Carroll is willing to admit that perhaps many of his Daily Inspiration posts contain bumper-sticker wisdom. He lives and owns the contradiction.
A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I don’t particularly care about the usual. If you want to get an idea of a friend’s temperament, ethics, and personal elegance, you need to look at him under the tests of severe circumstances, not under the regular rosy glow of daily life. Can you assess the danger a criminal poses by examining only what he does on an ordinary day? Can we understand health without considering wild diseases and epidemics? Indeed the normal is often irrelevant.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist

#Learning about different #IdentityLabels is more than just discovering a #category of #people who are "out there" somewhere. It is that, and that is important as well, for appreciating the vast and intricate #diversity of our species and for holding #solidarity in #liberation struggles. But it's also about #understanding new lenses to view our own selves and #experiences through, and how new #concepts #apply or don't in our own #lives. That's #subversive to #cisheteronormativity.
