Stereotypes, home

Jeff Noel's Colorful business card from 2009
Stereotypical midlife crisis? No, the opposite. Have spent my life trying to build (brand) positive stereotypes grounded in: Having fun. Leaning into discomfort. .thinking .differently

What are stereotypes? Why do they exist? How are they helpful? How are they harmful?

My brand (my positive stereotypes)?

  1. Have fun
  2. Lean into discomfort
  3. .think .differently

My brand (my negative stereotypes)?

  1. Expensive
  2. Impossible for almost everyone
  3. Doesn’t understand the hell everyone is going through

Stereotypes are true and untrue beliefs about something or someone.

Stereotypes exist because they help society filter repetitive patterns efficiently.

Stereotypes positively offer effortless reflexive responses and choices in daily life.

Stereotypes negatively offer untrue, harmful, indecent, and unwanted judgement on things and people.
