Transparent like a Cat Scan
What we need is more transparency. When did that word start appearing all over the place and when did the meaning change form a bad thing to a good thing?
A transparent person used to mean a person you could see right through. You know a person who appears honest and altruistic but you see through them and just know they are totally one hundred percent bullshit.
Now everyone wants to see more transparency in government and on school boards like suddenly seeing behind the door is good for us but anyone or organization that allows a look behind the door is hiding stuff behind another door or a fake wall or bookcase.
“Hi, I am really happy to see you guys, in fact, I am beyond happy I am ecstatic.”
“Really why is that?”
“Well I’m not that happy just trying to be transparent. Is it working?”
“Yes it’s working; we can see you’re not all that happy. Good job at being transparent.”

A quote: “The price of total personalization is total transparency.
Transparency suggests a more active role, rather than an imposed view. You have to BE transparent. And of course, it is impossible to have total personalization with perfect knowledge. “ Seth Finklestein
