Tim,
I just had to make a comment in regard to this, which I think is very, very disturbing indeed!
You write:
....it is precisely because Integral has had a first person focus on
theory rather than a second person focus on conversation, meaning,
values and culture that how power should be used in our community has
gone undiscussed - at least in the more ‘official’ forums - and has
often not been handled well. A discussion on power, whom should have it,
how it is allocated, validated and substantiated, and how it gets used
is another story and another conversation the Integral community needs
to have sometime soon. I like to work on the basis that most people
operate in good faith and that bad outcomes are generally the result of
mistakes. If, though, we agree that something is a mistake, then any
continued use of the sort of approach would constitute, in my books, an
abuse of power....
It's interesting that this comment seemed to shut down the discussion...
