I’m sitting here thinking about how I want to approach tonight’s blog entry, and there’s a commercial on for BBC America featuring snoring, sleeping bunnies. Or wild hares. Whatever they are, it was funny listening to them snore.
Tonight I’m thinking about our societal need/fixation on grouping people. It’s an interesting phenomenon. It makes for good data – but sometimes I wonder about the depersonalizing nature of the process. We break things down by so many different parameters – gender, age, religion, color, education, background, all broken down into the smallest segments we can calculate within reason in order to identify trends, convert all of that raw data, the cold numbers into something from which we can organize and inform.
I’m not a big fan of generalizations. We focus on what we have in common rather than what makes us distinct. In every parts of our society, you’ll have the most honorable people and the worst of our species spread out across every variation of skin tone, eye color, height, weight, religious inclination, ad gender identity. If people classify as “Caucasian”, I can guarantee you’ll find a wide variety of opinions as you move across economic strata and educational spectra.
Intelligence and wisdom are two different things.
I completely get why we generalize based on certain attributes, I do. Sometimes that data stuff is pretty darned powerful. I don’t understand as much as I think I do sometimes… I’ll start to get around the corner with something, and then, that inevitable moment when someone, (gasp!), explains it to me. Oh, and I had been doing so well.
I went off track there somewhere.
People viagra sales online usually believe that shoulder checks are unnecessary if there are no vehicles or pedestrians while taking a statins.

I think I might’ve had a pretty idea going there for awhile. but then the distractions and the other things in my brain give me a little donkey punch to the side of my head and take me off in some new direction hat has nothing to do with the original thought.
Maybe it comes down to “get good data”, “ask good questions”, and “look beyond the obvious”.
I’ll think on this a little more, and maybe revisit it later this week. My mind is kind of going fourteen different directions right now, and I want to odo a better job organizing these thoughts.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
