Yes.. and more than offended, I would reframe to respond with: your obvious bias reveals you are not a person who can be trusted to apply standards fairly for good outcomes.

Bias = unsafe.

Not about anyone’s emotional or intellectual reaction.

About #safety & #quality.
Discussed w/ that frame w/ @becker_sbecker

But are *you* safe or able to provide quality results? Using my former #Medicaid medical director lens, low quality = low value, waste, harm

“Safe spaces” emotionally, yes - but safe for whom?

We know this to be true
System change, needed

*is* uncomfortable & yes, there *are* some people who have astutely built their value streams around current system

They *would* “lose” if there were system change

But only thing constant is change
Be adaptable
Show creativity ImageImage
The most *productive* environments in nature are estuaries

Diversity = benefit to all
Why limit & block this?

The Chinese invented paper & gunpowder.

Boston Tea Party?

Where did your gunpowder come from?

Who invented the paper the Constitution is written on? (Some say Egyptians btw - disputed)

This is an execellent read - the full book takes time and concentration

Bottom line:
biases
barriers & walls & limitations
isolation

Are ways to lose
anti-innovation, anti-economic strength, anti-quality

Do you want to be dominated or succeed?
