Eliminating the people.

The executive order to eliminate content promoting diversity, equity and inclusion has led to eliminating lots of people and their stories from government websites.

I think this could eventually mean eliminating all people to be fair and to keep things more simple.

Stories about the personalities and contributions of people, if eliminated from NASA websites, for instance, remove the human side of the story. Much of the contribution to American life happens to come from people who could be classified as women and various other minorities.

I did some screen captures, from a story on the NPR website, about this situation. I created my own art piece (below) about this. In comments, I'll put a link to that story. Graphic is about before and after images on a website from Small Business Administration.

I must admit, sometimes I find the science, itself, more interesting than the human stories. Galaxies and telescopes, versus the people who discovered and invented things.

Still, I think the humanity is important, but there is a push to erase diversity, which I think basically can lead to erasing people altogether. This makes me think of AI (artificial intelligence) eventually replacing people altogether.
