Who Might Advocate For Inclusive Communities?

It's one of those weeks when summer heat is a bit intense, and sometimes a tired mind just needs a breather, not to mention the chance to read a few classics from yesteryear. Hence, today felt well suited for a rather fanciful post. Daydreaming allowed!

Who might advocate for inclusive communities?

Anyone who believes that growth is still a long way from the potential it actually holds - who does not associate the idea of growth with any particular group or political party but as potential which exists in the most unexpected of places.

Anyone who believes that economic flows are about what people can accomplish today, rather than some fixed stock, skill definition or age related expectation. Said another way: money is more important for what we are able to do and provide for one another, than anything we might still "claim".

Anyone who believes that applied (localized) experimental settings are needed, in order to find "first mover" options which are difficult to contemplate in normal economic circumstance.

Anyone who believes it is best to provide each individual enough possibilities for investment that they can attend to both basic needs and means for economic freedom.

Anyone who believes that most taxation could be scrapped, with new systems for services coordination and the right to produce most products and services which fill obvious needs.

Anyone who believes everyone needs the right to assist others with health related concerns, in their own unique way (First, do no harm). And who believes that each individual has the right to be one of many impartial judges, of the results.

Anyone who believes that divisions in populations are to be healed wherever possible, not purposely widened or exacerbated.

Anyone who believes that group momentum could be integrated, diverse and adaptable to the needs of the moment.

Anyone who believes that the rights to produce and maintain roles in product definition, are of far greater value than any specified income level.

Anyone who believes that education can come from every place, to contribute to the problems that we solve today.

Anyone who understands that economic access is key to emotional stability, health and longevity.

Anyone who seeks every path for inclusion that is possible, before exclusion is considered.

Some words from Shunryu Suzuki ("Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind") provide a good close for this post:

In an exact sense, the only thing we actually can study in our life is that on which we are working in each moment.

And from the Prologue:

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few.
