Popular discourse on shame and blame tend to place emphasis on the individual. Shame often emerges out of blame but this most often occurs in a social context. If someone does know about an action or event anchored to you, then I guess any sense of shame is only private or historical. Blame and shame […]

The language of salvation (soteriology) is metaphysical language. Any talk about ‘saving lives’ is metaphysical language. The question has to be asked: saved from what? And, saved to what? The language of salvation already deems that it knows best about your future. ‘Believe in X and thou shalt be saved’. However, the reality of fallibility […]

When one’s language and ideology is zero, no one can ever be good enough. When anything is anchored to perfection (https://www.nicabm.com/program/fb-perfectionism-15/) the by-products are: shame, blame, anxiety, fear and harm. Perfectionism is a mental health disorder and one that Safety encourages. Similarly, Safety encourages other mental health disorders such as obsession (https://safetyrisk.net/safety-as-a-mental-health-disorder-obsession/). What a strange […]

I see with amusement a recent discussion in safety about complexity complete with the mythical swiss-cheese, that some rule can ‘tame’ complexity. All such discussion ignores research on ‘wicked-problems’ that has been about since the 1960s. The idea of a ‘wicked problem’ first emerged from Churchman (1967) in the context of management theory but was […]
