Why you can't ban politics at work

In this audiojournal entry, I update you all on my new contract at Futurus, applying for the Center for Civic Innovation in Atlanta, and participating in the OKR workshop for the Open Metaverse Interoperability community. I then get on my soapbox to talk about why banning 'politics' and similar things from work is not really possible. If anything, it actually standardizes the current political viewpoint of the organization and ostracizes people who come from very different backgrounds. I think we should instead be trying to figure out ways to have more meaningful discussions and instill psychological safety (ie how to have a more inclusive culture that encourages everyone to bring their 'whole self' and be the most productive/effective people they can be at work).
