Doing requires energy. All of us can work for a while without rest, without water, and without food but every hour we do not replenish what we've spent, the quality of our work diminishes, the speed slows, and eventually ceases altogether.

When we take from someone and do not replenish them, we harm someone for doing good and they will be unable to work as well, as fast, and if enough people do likewise they will die.

It is similar to being a senator who betrayed Julius Caesar, your knife may not have killed, but it did cause death.

When someone gives, they must receive in turn. If someone serves, they must be served. If we take something we replenish it. If we give something we must take something. 

Exploitation is when we take and do not give something of equal value in return and it is never okay to exploit another person.

Since value is subjective, we must negotate with each other to agree on value but in a way that seeks mutual benefit and only win/win outcomes.

Control is a limiter. Yes it prevents harm but it also prevents good.

I can place handcuffs on you to prevent you from hitting me, but those same handcuffs also prevent you from helping me.

Because most of what we consider knowledge is actually assumption, tradition, or bias, mankinds attempts to control and impose "good" outcomes always causes harm. None of us knows what will happen and so we must allow each of us to act according to what we believe is best.

Apart from direct acts of financcial, reputational, or physical harm, students and faculty shall be free to do and say as they wish according to their own conscience.

No conformity.
No censorship.
No canceling.

Tolerance is not different inequality, where the marginalized groups in one community get together to marginalize the dominant group of another. Community is not different conformity. True community is living and working together with people you hate and who hate you because our efforts are better spent cooperating rather than conflict.
There are no judges or victims.
There are no leaders or followers.
There is no us and no them.
There is just being the best version of ourselves and doing our best work. If we did not do that, do better next time.
The match and the gasoline must work together and even though there is an explosive reaction when the two come into close contact, each must use the limitless power of the human will to prevent it from occurring.

Fame is not our aim. Money is not our aim. Those are by products of chasing something loftier. Imagine a circle that represents the whole of your ability, the wole of your experience, and the whole of your knowledge. Life is about continually expanding that circle. If whatever you're doing isn't scary, if it doesn't make you nervous, if you don't feel unsure, alone, misunderstood, you're operating inside the circle where it's safe. We are meant to be warriors. Life is meant to be an adventure. We are meant to go off the map, where there are no roads, where is no one to follow. When choosing a direction, we are supposed to go to any of the places on the the parchment that reads "HERE THERE BE MONSTERS." 

I have not failed 10,000 times—I've successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work. - Thomas Edison

Creation is when we bring something new into our world that never was. It's invention which is why the live of a creative is filled with so much failure. When you bring something new into your world you don't know how to do it, until you do. 

Production is the process of taking something you already know how to make and streamlining that process so that  you can make it quicker, cheaper, and for more profit. Hollywood is a production not a creative industry.

It's businessmen exploiting creatives that only care about productivity, effecincy, and profit. Artists are not meant to work this way, we have allowed ourselves to become cogs to survive. There is nothing wrong with production but what does it profit a man to gain the world but lose their soul in the process. We must not lose our souls.  The gods of hope, fear, love, rage, shame, and joy whisper to us and when we lose our souls we stop listening to them and start listening to frank from
