Institutional Kindness
from PowerPivot
I am a prison abolitionist, I do not think prison should exist. I think that we need to come up with other options for our culture. However, I am aware that most people are not there, that most people are not able or willing to consider prison abolition. And I swear this is connected to business, you've got to stick with me for the whole thing, though. We need to move our entire society toward a new expectation of institutional kindness, from all of our institutions, and create alternatives to shitty working conditions. And when we create alternatives then we give people choices, and when we give people choices, they realize that more is possible. They become less constricted, they become more creative, they become more interested in what else could happen. Something different could happen. And when they realize that something different and more and better is possible, you know what happens next? They change. They become more generous, they become more community oriented, they become more interconnected. They recognize that it feels different to be treated well because they're having this experience of being treated well. We can make the world different by how we do things in our own organizations. One of the things that we can do is be really radically inclusive of everybody. And when you start to think like that, then your kindness just levels up massively, you're enacted kindness.
