Nothing is Objective;

We are all biased. Our values are our bias. So we all have to be honest, ethical and transparent about our biases.

“Accepting the reality that “pure objectivity” is a dangerous myth, and acknowledging both the effects of implicit bias and the validity of emotion, allow the opportunity for transparency about what happens in reality—and then for accountability.”

— National Institute of Health, United States National Library of Medicine

Everything Is Political

The majority of us know that the personal is political, like it or not.

We the majority want, simply: Freedom. Freedom to be, do, say, worship, and love whoever, whatever and however we want. A Fair Deal. A Functioning Society. It’s not to much to demand.
