Thanks for writing this, it clarifies a lot. Your point about 'we are all related' is so insightful. What if, on a larger scale, that intrinsic relateness could avoid clear favoritism in leadership?

My Pleasure, I am so glad you enjoyed it. And your question is exactly on point, relatedness challenges favourtism, (I mean mostly, we are all human, so I know I have people I like more than others) by not tying our value to the job we have.

In part because getting or not getting a role is about the work, not about the relationship since in Indigenous worldview we all matter, we are all wanted, regardless of how productive we are.

I have an essay I wrote on this foundational distinction if you are interested, I'll link it here. https://mischief.trishamcormond.com/p/does-the-world-find-you-wanted-or
