Creative Lab – Where My Pictures Come to Life
We cherish the few of you that know her.
The way she speaks, deliberate and true,
The way she moves, effortless, unshaken.
Her imperfect marks, like she, territorial
claimed by fire, A mark of heat,
of passion & stories untold.
Her smile, a ray of light
breaking through the dark,
I love her most
As she is the portal
Where love enters, where life begins
Here I am In Bali, to find a way to say Asante with ease,
In a café, seated, writing like my breath would seize.
Was it a baby’s cry or the milk being whisked?
My soul rebirthed, or was I still child-free and brisked?
Papaya smoothie called me from within,
Weak..
Feeling the child in me, free-d from being seen, thus free from sin.
Wisdom tooth wise, not to ruin the deed, today no tweak
Met the gatherer, not the gladiator, fulfilling my need.
The dancer, not the procrastinator,
As though I rebirthed a new breed,
The entertainer, philosopher, mathematician, all the same theme
Every part of me, before the world came together to humble me.
We push topics, that don’t necessarily apply to us further into the future, further away from us.
If people aren’t being wounded in front of our doorstep, then it’s not our business. The same way politician do so. In economics terms it can be modeled in the “war of attrition”. By waiting, we know we can push the responsibilty, thus, there is a positive probability that the other coalition member will
concede
war of attrition

I made an observation however that I would like to share with you:
Part of the reason why I choose to be an activist on many of my social media platforms, whether it is about climate change or “Black Lives Matter” is because I have the priviledge to do so. I am in good health and I have food on the table.
I then question if it is fair from me to ask of people to become more conscious of their actions when they might not have the space to do so.
However here’s were I would like to bring in my knowledge about confidence intervals. How much of the population on my social media have the possibility of advocating change? if we bring into perspective, the confidence interval of my audience, most of which are even wealthier than I myself am, I think it is safe to say that they are well capable of creating the same space that I create for such topics. I think it is safe to say that for the most part it is a matter of priority.
What are you prioritizing into your Utility function?
Rather than blaming politicians how about conducting better politics within our own spaces?
