Wegen des manipulativen Verhaltens eines führenden Mitglieds von Go&Change, welches ich am ZEGG Sommer Camp 2021 miterlebt haben, und weil diese Person für den Missbrauch steht der Menschen bei Go&Change wiederfährt, kann ich es nicht vertreten bei einer Podiums Diskussion mit dieser Person dabei zu sein. Aufgrund meiner eigenen Erfahrungen mit dieser Person, der Natur von sogenannten Wir-Räumen (Erklärung folgt), Zeugen, die erster Hand Erfahrungen mit der Organisations bekannt als Go&Change haben, und der überwältigend negativen und einleuchtenden Geschichten, welche ich über Go&Change im Internet gefunden habe, schlussfolgere ich, dass es sich bei Go&Change um einen gefährliche Sekte handelt. Deswegen …

Due to the manipulative behaviour of a leading member of Go&Change that I have witnessed at the ZEGG summer camp 2021, and due to the abusive conduct of the organisation he represents, I no longer feel I can justify participating in a panel discussion with this person. Based on my own experiences with this leading member’s behaviour, the nature of the so-called “Wir-Raum” (explanation will follow later), witnesses who have had firsthand experiences with the organisation known as Go&Change and accounts they in turn have heard from other witnesses, and the overwhelmingly negative and appalling stories about the organisation I …

Polarity number four is MERCY & JUSTICE. Mercy for the individual becomes unjust without concern for the good of the whole. And to be truly virtuous, justice must be balanced with care for each person. The post Mercy & Justice appeared first on Steve McIntosh: Official Website.

Polarity number three is COMPETITION & COOPERATION. While some progressives disparage competition, and some modernists overemphasize it, competition can be a powerful value creator. However, when it is not moderated by its polar counterpart of cooperation, competition can devolve into a dog-eat-dog condition wherein defensiveness saps productivity. Conversely, cooperation by itself, without the incentive or opportunity for individual excellence or creativity, can similarly devolve into groupthink or stifling bureaucratic mediocrity. But when competition and cooperation are brought together in a mutually correcting relationship that provides for both *challenge and support,* the value-creating potential of each side is maximized. The post …

Polarity number two is REAL & IDEAL. While this pair may at first seem prosaic or obvious, it is highly useful and applicable to many life situations. Without the moderation and challenge of the other, each of these poles can be problematic. Realism without idealism can lead to a cynical acceptance of a dysfunctional status quo. And conversely, idealism that is unrealistic can result in ineffectual wishful thinking. But when these two poles become mutually co-correcting, they can increase our power to improve things.
