You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
.
To change something,
build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Objectively… if MLK was alive today…
how many social media platforms would block, suspend, etc.,
his accounts, from the abundance of complaints against his content?
What happens when 93% of people don’t want or are neutral to social
changes, and don’t do anything to enable or promote positive changes?
What happens when organizations spend more money advertising about
positive change… than actually doing positive change?
Are you a Top-7%’er… who’s willing, to actively be part of positive change solutions?
93% Of the time, outcomes from efforts to create positive changes, take one of two primary courses.
1 – If the changes create positive, self-centered benefits for people with moderate-to-high economic power, changes are adopted with unparalleled velocity. For example, look at the warp speed of technological changes adopted by people with economic power and self-centered values!
2 – If the changes create risks to power bases, unknown outcomes, etc., to the people who are in positions of power, changes are adopted at glacial speeds, while the majority of these same people, who don’t want to risk losing their power, create the illusion, they’re creating wonderful social changes at warp speed. Sigh!
Let’s look at a few examples, that solidify these realities.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) – The U.S. was founded on July 4, 1776, nearly 246 years ago. Amazingly, WE collectively have yet to embrace the concept that, “… all men (people) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”.
Automobiles – Look at the speed in which automobiles have evolved, since those with the economic power have demanded continuous improvement; thus improving their own personal lifestyles.
Computers / Smartphones – In just 25 years, WE have witnessed no less than 10 exponential improvements in computers / smartphones!
Just imagine… if DEI was a computer / smartphone… WE wouldn’t even be
discussing DEI anymore, because it’d be a boring topic that had been
remedied many years ago and improved significantly every two years.
.
Instead… we’re still working on DEI, version 2.0 today, to build the equivalent of the 1987 “portable” Apple Macintosh II. Imagine using a computer / smartphone today, that:
- Included one or two floppy drives; or a hard disk that held 40 MB of total data, or only 4 of today’s 10 MB pictures
- Weighed 24 pounds or the equivalent of 62, 6.14 oz. iPhone 13’s today
- Offered the first color screen for a Mac
Thus; collectively, WE’ve decided DEI should progress at glacial speeds and computers should progress
at warp speed. This -IS- who WE genuinely and collectively are! Sigh!
For every positive change in society, the speed is directly correlated to the majority of decision makers,
(those with an array of powers, including economic) and their threads of self-centeredness!
Fortunately… there are Top-7%’ers… the only ones who actually create positive change!
Are you a Top-7%’er?
We’re looking for the Collaborative-Top-7%’ers at Universities… not the 93%… Look-Good-Talkers!
Are you a Collaborative-Top-7%’er?
We’ve added an Intelligent Social Impact model that can fund 1,000+ College Scholarships for DEI initiatives; and
be implemented at any U.S. college!
The coolest part…
it doesn’t cost the university or donor corporations a net $0.01 to implement and fully fund… Intelligent!
