It extends to the ways we demonstrate which box we\u2019ve chosen\u2013fashion, pro sports, even the tech we use or how we speak. The search for safe shortcuts becomes an end to itself.<\/p>\n<p>And then it can get toxic. When we start dividing people by race or identity, by background or caste, we end up losing dignity and nuance for the false shortcut of putting someone into a box.<\/p>\n<p>But in our quest to put everyone in a box, we leave a lot behind. We ignore the chance to interact with someone who can teach us something. We sacrifice the benefit of the doubt in exchange for what feels like security. And we take away the humanity of people who don\u2019t make it easy for us to find a niche for them.<\/p>\n<p>Pigeonholes are best for pigeons.<\/p>\n<p>PS my new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/learning\/creating-significance-choosing-to-do-our-best-work?trk=lilblog_06-20-23_lft-instructors_learning\">LinkedIn<\/a> course is free this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\t\/\/ Delaying FB pixel script to load after 4 seconds to not affect on initial page load.\n\t\tsetTimeout( function () {\n\t\t\t!function ( f, b, e, v, n, t, s ) {\n\t\t\t\tif ( f.fbq ) {\n\t\t\t\t\treturn;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\tn = f.fbq = function () {\n\t\t\t\t\tn.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply( n, arguments ) : n.queue.push( arguments )\n\t\t\t\t};\n\t\t\t\tif ( !f._fbq ) {\n\t\t\t\t\tf._fbq = n;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\tn.push = n;\n\t\t\t\tn.loaded = !0;\n\t\t\t\tn.version = '2.0';\n\t\t\t\tn.queue = [];\n\t\t\t\tt = b.createElement( e );\n\t\t\t\tt.async = !0;\n\t\t\t\tt.src = v;\n\t\t\t\ts = b.getElementsByTagName( e )[0];\n\t\t\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore( t, s )\n\t\t\t}( window, document, 'script',\n\t\t\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js' );\n\t\t\tfbq( 'init', '221651354884486' );\n\t\t\tfbq( 'track', 'PageView' );\n\t\t}, 4000 );\n\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hop.clickbank.net\/?affiliate=infohatch&amp;vendor=J1R2C\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10614 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px.png\" alt=\"Profit Gen\" width=\"400\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px.png 400w, https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Culture seeks shortcuts.
