The concept of 100% inclusion can lead to overlooking the importance of having criteria for exclusion. While the idea of including everyone may seem appealing, it can result in extreme or dangerous individuals being brought into a community. This was evident in the speaker's experience during the Occupy movement, where individuals with threatening behaviour were initially embraced with the belief that love and compassion could change them. However, it became clear that there needs to be a threshold for exclusion to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the entire community. In community governance, it is crucial to define exclusion criteria and prioritize safety, rather than solely focusing on inclusion and compassion.
