My Grand Experiment

We may be, all humans, 99% the same. but some of that remaining 1% does more than its share of affect.

I can see now the environmental variables that created certain internal structure that causes me to sometimes see something differently, or in a different way, or with different severity.

Not better, not greater or lesser meaning. Just like in "You say tomayto, I say tomahto" the object is just the same, a tomato.

Somewhere I adopted a means of acceptance, my internal command to acceptance is "if you want things to be different, then create the space and be that difference." Meaning, for example, if things at the place I work are not done a way that makes sense to me, maybe submit a suggestion, then let it be.

If I want to realize that suggestion, create the business, then make sure you write that different way into the company operations. But until then, I have no right to be critical of it.

So, in my mind, the Grand Experiment is, "Can a business make it on altruistic principles."

Ok, not pure altruism, but as close to the unfiltered, unpolluted sense of altruism as you can get. in the modern world. Perfection is not possible, progress in that direction is.

The first challenge, how to grow the company on values, strategies and principles that do not seek revenue first, second third and last.

I am not wealthy, can't run a company out of my savings account. So altruism must be on balanced footing, to those the company serves, and in turn. the company, to provide the same consideration to those the company supports. Now, it's important to establish the baseline.

Altruism is the unselfish concern for the well-being of others, involving actions that benefit another person without the expectation of personal gain, reciprocity, or reward. Popularized by French philosopher Auguste Comte in the 19th century as the antonym of egoism, it is defined broadly as prioritizing the welfare of others above one's own interests, whether motivated by empathy, compassion, or a sense of moral duty.

And in that, I can affirm we are off to a good start. I invite you to watch, assess, evaluate our progress.

If this little experiment proves that it is viable.

Well, that is up to you."
