rational fear

A reaction about a real threat where we have to protect ourselves, something that we are consciously aware of. It comes from the human brain and is brought about by genetics. This kind of fear keeps us alert and can be somewhat of a challenge. However, an irrational fear is something we fear, even though there is no direct link or threat to us.

An example of a rational fear is being scared of getting eaten alive by a pack of wolves. An example of a irrational fear is public speaking.

Parody Rationality

Parody Rationality, also Mock Rationality, is the act of mocking rationality or rationalism in a satirical way. Parody Rationality can refer to criticism to excess of rationality or rationalism and it can also refer to the idea of use nonsense rationality and arguments in order to criticize excess of rationalism or even to the use of alternative forms of rationality, mainly appealing to spirituality and esoterics in order to criticize positivism, materialism or scientism. Parody rationality often seeks to chalenge rationality and rationalists but it can also have different purposes and goals.

“Parody rationality is really good to mess with neopositivists and with people who thinks literally everything should be based on rationalism, neopositivism and scientism. But it’s necessary to know how to use it for avoid situations like post-modernism usually to lead even parody rationality can be considered as a post-modernist creation as well.

Relational Dexterity

Skill and grace with respect to human relationships. The ability to relate to many different people- from many different backgrounds and ways of life- with skill and ease. To be able to connect to others skillfully, flexibly and inclusively.

I am trying to support the co-creation of a world where there is more relational dexterity. That is, where our ability to relate is not limited to our habitual patterns of relating, or relating only to those who come from the perspectives that we can identify with, but where we are able to skillfully relate to all kinds of people, from all walks of life. If we can achieve this, then we will tear down the walls between us and build bridges grounded in our shared human experience.
