Dynamic Reponses vs Fixed Beliefs
I saw this tweet this AM and was kind of floored by it on so many
layers.
Most responders were dunking on the obvious backwards justifying.
Here's a belief I already hold irrationally, let me find evidence for
it.
But, to me, there's another problem that equally applies to people of
any religious or political affiliation.
This sense of collapsing the possibility and response space to a
single fixed outcome.
How we hate politicians who change their positions and call them
flip-floppers.
But reality itself is dynamic, situations are unique, the appropriate
response depends on the context.
Ideally all the meditation, relational practice, healing work, and so
on is about learning how to become more sensitive and responsive to
reality. Likewise, we ought to be able to do the same with our
companies, religions, companies.
Another way of looking at this would be adult developmental frames
like a Kegan 3 who hasn't gotten to 4 or 5 yet?
