Mayor Lori Lightfoot can dramatically reduce the crime
in Chicago if she helps a few people to transcend their social environment.
That means people who live in a socially Toxic environment should be given the
support needed to physically move out of their home and neighborhood. Those who
don't want to relocate will need the physical and emotional protection of an
organization that will help them develop a new identity, and some new skills
and habits.
The best long term way so stop the crime is to provide public
school students a practical education. Not the antiquated competition
based high stakes testing education. An education that will give working
class students the cognitive skills, trade skills, and any other skills needed
to prosper in a world of algorithms and artificial intelligence.

It takes a truly exceptional person to transcend his or
her social environment and that we are shaped (and limited) by our backgrounds
and by the thinking of our generation more than we know or are comfortable
admitting, even to ourselves.
