Consent - S3

May 5, 2021

This is my second of seven posts of the principles of Sociocracy 3.0, if you want to know more please talk to me or visit the Sociocracy 3.0 homepage

A good example on how to use consent decision making - the pattern highly related to the principle can be seen in this video.

The previous post on the principles can be found here:

Equivalence

Comic, panel 1. A soldier peeks into a tent where a general with epaulettes draws a “War strategy”: “Excuse me sir?” The general: “Shhhhhh!”

Panel 2. The soldier: “But sir there....” The general: “I said be quiet I’m setting a strategy to win the war!” The soldier: “But sir...”

Panel 3. The general roars: “Get out!!!”

Panel 4. The general pushes the soldier out: “And stay out!” Outside, purple slugs are attacking and soldiers flee. The general: “What is this!” The soldier: “I was trying to say sir. We are under attack!”

Panel 5. The general lies in a trail of slime: “Yuk” Caption: “Remember sometimes the potential for learning is not as imediate or obvious, but the feeling of navigating in slime is the tell tail.”

Text panel: “The principle of consent: Raise, seek out and resolve objections to decisions and actions, so that you can reduce the potential for undesirable consequences and discover worthwhile ways to improve.”

Icon: a thumbs up.
