I want to address something Jimmy Kimmel says here. "Comedy is very democratic. The people who are great, rise to the top; the people who are good, rise to the middle; and the people who aren’t good, don’t make it."http://www.vulture.com/2018/10/jimmy-kimmel-louis-c-k-comedy-cellar-comebacks.html?utm_campaign=vulture&utm_medium=s1&utm_source=tw …

Your effort is to compensate for your own limitations, not to compensate for other people's not being able to compete. And those limitations aren't necessarily because you're a bad person! Two equally aware, thoughtful people can have totally different references.

I am much more likely to *naturally notice* things that vibrate on a frequency that thrums in my head, but as a curator, I can't confuse that with quality or meritocracy. So if you don't notice gender, if you "don't see color" with comics? You'll perpetuate your own limits.

Damn that's a great analogy. In a similar vein, I've thought of it like being the sound guy at a concert performance - if you have one part overwhelming the whole show, the concert will suck. You need EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE EVENLY BALANCED if you want to have a great time.
