1. I exclude myself from being excluded.
Those who are commonly referred to as "excluded" are still part of our societies.
They occupy the margins, having been assigned this place to indicate what awaits us if we do not dispose of ourselves to embody the ideals of the majority.
The gnashing existential dissonance of this type of exclusion lies in the fact that these excluded ones want to belong to the society from which they have been displaced.
I don't want to belong to a society that generally doesn't care about what is precious to my sensibility.
2. To belong to a society you have to see life from the parameters of that society.
They had to have been internalized in you.
Society is the name we give to all the others who we may know or not know, with whom we are connected in infinite ways: biology, love, friendship, company, loyalties, needs, proximity, etc.
We are connected to everything that exists.
With respect to all human beings and things that belong to humans, our connection to that is called society.
These connections have been progressively rationalized throughout our history.
That is what we call "society":
Rationalization = accounting
(What is my number in the framework of such operations?
0/0 = ∞
But also 1.
I am 1, and 0, and ∞.
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 +… ∞
I am all numbers.)
3. There was a time before all things were accounted for.
It was a time
of enchantment.
It did not finish.
It was taken away from the center, to the margins, to exclusion.
That time is still here.
Stalking ...
4. Chance is marginal.
If we could rationalize everything, account for everything, chance disappears.
Could you say that it has been removed?
It's everywhere ...
It's in me.
I was born thanks to the blessing of chance.
From a disconnected chain with neither cause nor effect.
From the same seed that originated everything.
5. I grew up with random in myself.
And it grew up too,
with me,
becoming
brighter
and more enchanting ...
As powerful as a Sun.
6. I took care of it.
With parental care.
With the complicity of a brother.
I respected him, despite the lack of appreciation of a society that, to educate me, always spoke ill of chance.
However, it was served with every meal at my extended family's table each day.
I learned to play with it
to shape it like clay,
to dance with him.
I learned that what cannot be explained can still have meaning.
7. In general, people do not understand me.
I see that they expect me to follow some kind of typical path,
but I ignore that path with everything that does and doesn't make sense in myself.
When I listen to the analysis (economic or otherwise) of the "experts", they never talk about me.
I am not included in their reports.
(I don't really want to be included).
I voluntarily join those whose sensibilities do not appreciate what our current society values.
Our society values profitability.
Specialization boosts earnings.
Being a full human being is not profitable.
8. My role is peripheral.
Sometimes people want to include me, talking about what they like about what I do, but I don't really feel included because they talk without really knowing what I value.
However,
I do not care.
I don't need to feel included and I don't think it necessary for people to know what I value.
These are my personal choices and what I share with a few other people.
I like to share it only with those who value the same things I do as if they were gold jewelry.
The rest seem very confused to me,
when I look at their faces,
when they talk,
when they walk,
and when they move.
I am certain of my values.
Don't ask me to list them.
That is precisely what the machine-society in which we find ourselves always tries to do.
I don't need to list them because my values are inscribed in my body,
in these words,
on my breath,
in my friendship,
in my embrace.
In my entire life.
9. Technology can enable us to find like-minded people to drive the future.
I endure discrimination for what I do, for what I value.
Discrimination overwhelms minorities and I definitely belong to a minority in a world that values dance so little.
That's why I don't bother to think too much about it.
I prefer to look for like-minded people, who have the sensitivity to appreciate what I and others like me do, how we can collaborate to become better examples of human beings.
History shows that what was once peripheral often becomes central.
