I thought of ants and bees.
In a pro-decentralisation context, the interpretation you're referring to--which is the pinnacle of centralisation forced through violence for selfish goals--is so obviously irrelevant, that it didn't even come to mind.
- cvsh 9y agoIt will probably come to mind for folks whose families were affected violently by colonization. That this wasn't brought up during the naming process paints a pretty clear picture of the team's demographic makeup. Edit: Yep. https://blog.colony.io/colony-q3-update-9daa57d0918c https://blog.colony.io/colony-q3-update-9daa57d0918c
- fab13n 9y agoTouché (and yes, I would also blend into that picture seamlessly).
- Chris2048 9y agoPerhaps it was brought up, and not deemed relevant? "come[s] to mind" != "triggered" Suggesting a team should alter its "demographic" ("diversity" hiring) for the sake of such a weak association is extreme.
- cvsh 9y agoHm, making the name of a brand you intend to market worldwide something deeply offensive to a huge swath of the world is a pretty poor decision. I'm not saying their hiring "should" be altered, but I do think were it more inclusive, this would have never flown. Maybe that speaks to the value a diverse team brings to an organization.
- Chris2048 9y agoI'm not convinced it is "deeply offensive to a huge swath of the world". Or that a diverse team would bring more value.
- elena_di 9y agoYes ants and bees! And the intelligence with which they organise their work and life https://blog.colony.io/the-future-of-work-cf99211e7ac4 https://blog.colony.io/the-future-of-work-cf99211e7ac4
- crucialfelix 9y agoMy first association was "space colony". Colony on the moon, mars etc.
