interesting reading at 4a in the morning — 2017 proposal for changing the world’s calendar!¹ Just super excited the AC and power both work…so somehow I ended up down a rabbit hole on an article which predates the more recent DEI reboot / v2.0: the DEI Profession. Many of the programs, which emerged around the mid 60s and have evolved mostly in cadence with lackluster legislation, were never enough, too cumbersome, or for other reasons have struggled to yield substantial improvement.³

wow…that was a whole new rabbit hole nearly 50 mins long; let’s see how far I can dig

All of this babble around an article I read¹, about an hour ago now, which mentioned the Inclusion part of DEI…what many believe was missing from 1968 - ca. 2015. The words inclusion and inclusive are ONLY mentioned in Carnegie Mellon University’s article on DEI within the title itself, and the closing section aptly named Today.

So, if you followed me down the second rabbit hole, you’ll see affirmative action, the Civil Rights movement which sparked further legislation, and then more recently: corporate tests and programs adopted by executives..list of workplace do’s and don’ts..while employees could digest the information and rules presented to them, the positive effects of diversity training rarely lasted longer than a couple days³ never once mention the word inclusion or any root word derivatives. I read an article about on why we should change our calendar to the year 12,022: for inclusiveness and not to distort the meanings of new terms to replace old ones such as BC / BCE with BC / AD which has religious connotations instead of just doing it and putting a year 0 (or 1) correlating with the very first large-scale structure in history being completed.
