Representation amplifies less than ideally is hard to fully appreciate.
Take a number, any number.
For this instance lets take the number 8.
Could be associated with an Octagon, Ultimate fighting – a potential reminder of death and unsafe fights.
Let’s reinforce (for the sake of example) that poor representation of the number 8 with reminders of how people purchase cocaine, 8-balls.
Now everyone might be scared to use the number 8 in documents, in signs, and in artwork.
People might be able to fight the number 8 being represented in a poor way, yet they might just conclude it is just easier not to use the number eight. Or infinity signs (just a sideways 8?).
The problem with this known is it can make it harder to see which problems are actually a problem and what problems are not a problem.
Some representation might be considered a threat. Wearing blue set to Crypt, or red set to Blood for instance. Not really fair to label people gang members for liking part of the color spectrum.
People know criminals are forced to wear orange, wear stripes at times. Wear orange or stripes knowing people’s capacity to categorize and classify is less than ideal at times?
Churches speak constantly about how representation amplifies less than ideally? Not from what I have seen.
Less than ideal representation has potential to be perceived as a threat, be used to ruin lives? Yes.
I heard anything in recent government speeches about how representation amplifies less than ideally? Not to my recollection, maybe just not a popular topic. Factors into my safety, will provide High Voltage signs, won’t provide full acknowledgement of the problem with representation amplifying less than ideally?
Truth be told I think both lack of High Voltage signs (big national debt and unmaintained infrastructure) and inability to call out truths that factor into safety both have potential to be a problem.
Cartels and Border problems? Better for the number 8 or worse for the number 8?The line is more iffy, less ideally turned up and comprehended than all might like to believe by default.
666 is bad, 6 is part of the number 666. Therefore don’t mess with the Star of David (6 points). 7 is good? Forgive 77 times, Jackpot at 777? 321 or 123 both potentially associated with time bombs, thus number 3 potentially a problem, better stick with the number 4 for representation of peace?
187 (Sublime Rock Band reference – again reminder I give away free content, not trying to give away Sublimes name or content) ? hurts something good? 7 is good, 8 is associated with bad? Potentially how the police code amped?
Pend less than ideal representation owes society for injustice, or fend less than ideal representation owes society for injustice?
21 a gamblers number, better upgrade
22 can’t have that, rifle round
24 no 123 in there
what does 6 look like, what does 7 look like, what does 9 look like? I am not sure it is wise to hold teachers accountable for that.
Representation matters, amplifies less than ideally, and has potential to take the ground out from under you, leave you on the street. I wish life would amplify better than that for the future.
Paints with red and yellow, put them on the iffy China list? feels less than ideal in a troubling way. All I saw was red and white – Japanese flag or Medic? I got to know!
There is reason to forgive people that represent less than ideally, they were given less than ideal ground to stand on in the first place.
Likes Green, Clovers? Might be IRA?
Likes Pizza?
Artists, Actors, and Actresses like turning up, capitalizing on inaccurate representation while at same time desiring representation to protect them ideally. I know it might seem contradictory, yet it is important.
I do not want to promote crime or promote people getting away with crimes. I do think that less than ideal representation that society amplifies on the common factors into a less fair playing field. Less fair playing field matters – factors into value seen or not seen in positive paths, paths like not committing crimes.
A society that amplifies less crime needs to work together to not let others fall between the cracks, lose hope in positive paths.
I am certain how much to call things out? No. Reiterations factor into less ideal representation getting traction at times? True. It matters, just don’t talk about it and maybe it will solve itself feels less than ideal.
Representation and bars, who sets them, when, why, and how? of consequence or not of consequence?
It matters, sometimes it feels like stepping on a crack might lead to flicking off the world, not my intention does not equate to ideal perception and comprehension. It generates time costs, limits support both in the present (having to work twice as hard take twice as long to avoid stepping on cracks) and by all losses of people stuck in jails based upon less-than-ideal representation.
Important for Society to perceive and comprehend that positive paths matter, more benefit of the doubt matters factors into which way people lean. Lean into it a system potentially for good or bad. Wearing red might be friendly to medics, beats gang member, set to a political party.
My hair was Orange (Red hair) growing up, Parking Cone, Prison Jersey, or Gang Member? No less-than-ideal rep in that?
2 where, 4 whom?
On extasy? one? Representation amplifies less than ideally profits some parties over others.
Sleep the Emergency Room? Oh? Zero? (do not actually use to represent this, just showing the example of representation can lead to accusations and is dangerous at times)
Computers just zeros and ones? Artistic work and word play has potential to amplify less than ideally.
I can’t ideal it, the combination profits some parties over others, equates to I shouldn’t talk about it? Best way to solve a problem reinforced?
Acronyms and Puns, zero cost to society?
Acronyms are created by businesses at times, businesses generally profit some parties over others. Then in combination is claimed as amplifies ideally.
I feel less than gifted by the past’s delivery of representation? True. It might not always be the problem does not equate to it makes tracking down problems easier. Non-null time costs are expensive.
People, Lawyers, and Politicians choose what they Pend and what they Fend.
All ones, snake eyes gives jackpot? Just might not feel the same as 777.
“I don’t have to factor that in” always thought on a conscious level?
Details get claimed as can be replaced wholesale with no issue.
Imagine someone dresses up as a baby chick for Halloween.
And the next day someone that was at the party is eating chicken for lunch.
Threat or No Threat? Chicken is a common meal, having lunch does not equate to desire to eat a person.
Imagine someone dresses up as a Dolphin for Halloween.
And the next day someone that was at the party is eating dolphin for lunch.
Threat or No Threat? Dolphin not a common meal (not sure even a legal meal), just because it might not be meant as a threat does not equate to it could not be perceived as a threat. Less perceived as a threat is valuable, has potential to lead to reduced time costs.
Photos, just a lingerie model, or a lingerie model that looks like a politician? One should have thought of stopping a politician from becoming a politician in the past if one wanted to model lingerie?
Everyone represents others and everyone is less than ideal sin out?
I don’t see and perceive all the ways that my paintings and artwork could be seen. I like that abstract has potential to lead to inspiration, I also know now there is potential for less than ideals in abstract – unlikely does not equate to never a problem, add in shifting cybersecurity changes perception of was what I painted or was not.
An artist could make a painting or song, the painting or song could be set to representative as a threat as a way to entrap the artist. Someone takes a picture of a bonfire, all images with a certain amount of red and yellow set to China possible flag, photographer set to threat by accident possible?
I don’t want to discourage people that help protect the system. I want a more just and fair system yet I am not sure how practically possible that is. More appreciation as a Less Than Ideal System seems wiser, like has greater capacity for flex, grace, and forgiveness that is more likely to lead to appreciated as a more fair and just system.
Writing it is easy to forget, also still part of the story.
