This is a retrospective of week 18, 2024 (2024-04-29–2024-05-05).
This week I’ve continued looking into the work of Forrest Landry. Here and here are my previous retrospectives on Landry’s work. Jim Rutt talks with Landry about his Small Group Method and the difficulties in scaling it up beyond 16 people in this podcast. Forrest Landry’s method combines three types of decision-making (consensus, meritocracy, & democracy).
I can’t help but notice that the Quakers have been making unanimous decisions for 350 years using consent. Some would argue that consensus and consent are the same, but there are differences between the concepts. The way you attend influences the choices (decisions) you make.
Willis Harman and Elisabet Sahtouris’ book Biology Revisioned arrived this week.
Harman and Sahtouris suggest we reconsider our views of science and life. We need to look at wholes prior to the parts. What if life is integral to the creative process of the universe? It would provide a deep and profound perspective on the choices we face today.
