I took the liberty to post this effective quote suggested by the member @nastynifty.
I think it is profound and useful.
Sounds a bit elitist and reinforcing stratification.
It means people can be excluded because they are not deemed worthy enough and so bring the average down.
Social selection and Nazism on the way.
Or maybe we can embrace everyone and not worry about the outcomes.
So be sure they're high quality,Grade A, right?
One man's gold is another man's dust.
Bear in mind they might think you will bring the average down and so exclude you!
@Geoffrey51
Natural selection?
Hmmm. Got me thinking. I think that might be true. So by spending additional time with those I differ with might change who they are and the same with me. Sounds the opposite of polarizing. Might this catch on?
No really opposite of polarizing. It is just finding company of the inspiring, motivating and positive that can help you break out of the old and move forward to something better.
