When it comes to risk and safety, there are three strong predictors: cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence, and risk intelligence. If you want to know more about their role and the specific coefficients that measure them, I invite you to read the following article. Defining and testing intelligence are controversial topics among both the public and […] The post Risk & Safety. IQ – EQ – iCue appeared first on SafetyRisk.net ..read more

Shame and Blame as Social Semiosis
SafetyRisk.net
by Dr Rob Long
2d ago
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 post Shame and Blame as Social Semiosis appeared first on SafetyRisk.net ..read more

The Metaphysics of Safety
SafetyRisk.net
by Dr Rob Long
6d ago
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 […] The post The Metaphysics of Safety appeared first on SafetyRisk.net ..read more

Zero, The Recipe for Anxiety, Fear, Shame and Blame
SafetyRisk.net
by Dr Rob Long
1w ago
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 […] The post Zero, The Recipe for Anxiety, Fear, Shame and Blame appeared first on SafetyRisk.net ..read more

Ditch the Swiss-Cheese if You Want to Understand Causality
SafetyRisk.net
by Dr Rob Long
1w ago
The swiss-cheese metaphor and semiotic is NOT a scientific or logical model of representative connection to reality. The swiss-cheese is a concoction of James Reason to try and explain his linear worldview of accidents and prevention. We saw this recently with Cooper’s identical model (https://safetyrisk.net/no-taming-or-fixing-wicked-problems/). The swiss-cheese explains nothing about causality indeed, it imposes a […] The post Ditch the Swiss-Cheese if You Want to Understand Causality appeared first on SafetyRisk.net ..read more

No ‘Taming’ or ‘Fixing’ Wicked Problems
SafetyRisk.net
by Dr Rob Long
1w ago
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 […] The post No ‘Taming’ or ‘Fixing’ Wicked Problems appeared first on SafetyRisk.net ..read more
