capability or whatever

Capability or whatever is a moving relational field and it shifts depending on:

  • context: you’re do awesome in one setting, completely lost in another
  • culture: what counts changes from country to country, even house to house
  • power: those who define what is usually benefit from how it’s defined
  • language: if someone can’t express something in a way we understand, we dismiss it even if it actually makes sense or even helpful

we all gatekeep without realizing it
