Averages Are Made Up Of Differences


"The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal."




Aristotle
3rd century BC Greek philosopher

Because it can't be done.

You can treat unequal things and people the same but that doesn't make them equal.

How's your promotion policy?

  2. Not specifically, too broad a topic and question.

    But I will say we all should increasingly question our motives for promoting whatever it is we feel needs our support. And likewise for rejecting that we oppose.

    Like everyone else I have my prejudices but unlike a lot of people I admit that I do. However that doesn't mean I act on them. I hope growing numbers of people feel the same.
