James Baldwin — On Being White... and Other Lies

On Being White... and Other Lies

By James Baldwin.

The crisis of leadership in the white community is remarkable—and terrifying—because there is, in fact, no white community.

This may seem like an enormous statement—and it is. I'm willing to be challenged. I'm also willing to attempt to spell it out.

My frame of reference is, of course, America, or that portion of the North American continent that calls itself America. And this means I am speaking, essentially, of the European vision of the world—or, more precisely, perhaps the European vision of the universe. It is a vision as remarkable for what it pretends to include as for what it remorselessly diminishes, demolishes or leaves totally out of account.

Example for gatsby foreignkey relationships across multiple markdown directories

This example is for a website project I've been working on for andyet.com that features a mix of markdown folders, including one which pulls a number of resources together via interconnecting "synapses" which are built using gatsby foreign keys.

Sharing it because gatsby foreign keys are not particularly well documented, as discussed here.

Dee Hock on Leadership

Leader presumes follower. Follower presumes choice. One who is coerced to the purposes, objectives, or preferences of another is not a follower in any true sense of the word, but an object of manipulation. Nor is the relationship materially altered if both parties voluntarily accept the dominance of one by the other. A true leader cannot be bound to lead. A true follower cannot be bound to follow. The moment they are bound they are no longer leader or follower. If the behavior of either is compelled, whether by force, economic necessity, or contractual arrangement, the relationship is altered to one of superior/subordinate, manager/employee, master/servant, or owner/slave. All such relationships are materially different from leader/follower.

Induced behavior is the essence of leader-follower. Compelled behavior is the essence of all the others. Where behavior is compelled, there lies tyranny, however benign. Mere behavior is induced, there lies leadership, however powerful. Leadership does not imply construc

Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

To claim this, I am signing this object:

The essence of community, its very heart and soul, is the nonmonetary exchange of value. The things we do and the things we share because we care for others, and for the good of the place. Community is composed of things that we cannot measure, for which we keep no record and ask no recompense. Since they cannot be measured, they can’t be denominated in dollars, or barrels of oil, or bushels of corn—such things as respect, tolerance, love, trust, generosity, and care, the supply of which is unbounded and unlimited.

The nonmonetary exchange of value does not arise solely from altruistic motives. It arises from a deep, intuitive understanding that self-interest is inseparably connected with community interest; that individual good is inseparable from the good of the whole; that all things are simultaneously independent, interdependent, and interdependent—that the singular “one” is inseparable from the plural “one.”

True community also requires proximity—continual interaction between the people, places, and th
