Race relations

Race relations seemed better and less divided a few years ago, back when the Confederate statues were still around. At least back then, even if they argued at times, they were still talking points. Now that the statues aren't there people are expected to forget history, change, and compromise. That won't make anything better. Before the statues were removed people said they were divisive, but race relations seemed to do well. Now that they've been removed, people really are more divided.

Race relations don't improve if people don't get to discuss history from all angles, even the unpopular (unprofitable) ones. As long as one group wants another group to change, forget, or compromise, things aren't going to get better, they're going to keep getting worse. Sometimes (actually many times throughout history) things were as good as they were going to get, then people were people, and they all fucked it all up. They were all part of the problem.

International Relations

The ultimate easy major in college. Getting anything lower than a 'A' in any class requires serious effort.

Professor: "Johnny, we need to talk about your coursework this semester in my Advanced International Relations 338 class."
Johnny: "Yeah, what of it, shithead?"
Professor: "Well, for your first paper, you simply wrote 'Fuck you, Professor Cockgobbler' and drew a cartoon which appeared to be me giving a...um...blow job...um...to a buffalo. For your second paper, you submitted an actual photo of you having anal intercourse with my 15-year-old daughter. On the final exam, you wrote 'I am going to brutally murder your entire extended family, seriously.' in dog shit. Then you did in fact murder them all."
Johnny: "So what?"
Professor: "This type of disrespect will absolutely not be tolerated in my class. I'm going to have to punish you by lowering your grade to an A-minus."
Johnny: "NO!!!! That's going to lower my GPA so much!"
Professor: "Well, given that you have committed such atrocities in addition to your complete lack of ambition as well as academic ability, I'd say you deserve no better than a 3.98."
Johnny: "WHAT??? How could you say such a thing? You'd have to be a severely retarded quadriplegic to get a GPA that terrible!"

Relational Dexterity

Skill and grace with respect to human relationships. The ability to relate to many different people- from many different backgrounds and ways of life- with skill and ease. To be able to connect to others skillfully, flexibly and inclusively.

I am trying to support the co-creation of a world where there is more relational dexterity. That is, where our ability to relate is not limited to our habitual patterns of relating, or relating only to those who come from the perspectives that we can identify with, but where we are able to skillfully relate to all kinds of people, from all walks of life. If we can achieve this, then we will tear down the walls between us and build bridges grounded in our shared human experience.
