The art of drawing a circle and making sure you're not standing in it.
means The act of shutting someone or something out, leaving it outside a boundary, group, or consideration.
from From Latin excludere — ex- 'out' plus claudere 'to shut, close' (the same claudere that gives us 'close' and 'clause'). So exclusion is literally a 'shutting out,' the same root that bolted doors and sealed city gates now quietly bars people from guest lists and boardrooms.
