We have before us a carribean food truck playing Bob Marley with workers who are entirely of non-carribean descent. Working hard, providing a likely delicious and nutritious meal. A benefit to all who enjoy the privilege of proximity to the food truck. Should we perhaps infer morality and fairness on the basis of proximity? Could we create a society where everyone is in a moral panic, a crazy, constantly falling into patterns of folley, all to simply occupy space, ever closer, to some holy object? The steps of a building? The vicinity of some monument? Perhaps it is something which we believe extolls wisdom, isdom through proximity, proximity to knowledge Sort of like the intersections which allow you to be present in a domain of knowledge, which is otherwise inaccessible Would a world with such a privilege of proximity still use terms such as gentrification, white flight, persons of certain wealth of implicitly, colour? Would things always have a tendency to revert to evaluating these immutable traits? exit
