This week we are running two workshops in Canberra on Mythology and Embodiment. These are two critical issues that people in safety ought to know about. Why? Because so many activities of safety are attributed as effective when they are not and so many beliefs that are held are simply myth. You can … [Read more...] about The Power of Safety Myths
What Do You Mean By Performance?
When we hear the word ‘performance’ what do we think of? Well, it depends. Language is contextual not propositional. If you want to know about language you need to know the context in order to understand how it is being used. For example, when we use the word ‘performance’ in the Arts, … [Read more...] about What Do You Mean By Performance?
Hopkins-Dekker on Reason and Other Laughs
One of the amusing things about Safety is not silly attempts at humour (https://safetyrisk.net/whats-funny-about-safety/) but watching closed minded academics (non-Transdisciplinary) argue about how many angels can dance on a pin head. … [Read more...] about Hopkins-Dekker on Reason and Other Laughs
Perfection is Safety Child’s Play
One of the best episodes of Bluey is ‘Perfect’ (https://www.bluey.tv/watch/season-3/perfect/). Isn’t it strange that we work so hard on teaching our children the realities of fallibility and then when they come into Safety they are told they have to be perfect.

Free Videos, Podcasts and Books on Zero
One of the main reasons that Safety supports zero ideology is ignorance. Safety doesn’t know how to answer the entrapment question of: how many people do you want to injure today? How funny that I get criticised for being brutal on Zero. Poor old Zero, can brutalise people as it likes but must … [Read more...] about Free Videos, Podcasts and Books on Zero
Don’t Be Dumb Like Me, the Typical Safety Keynote
One of the things Safety is so good at is wrong messaging that doesn’t work. This is because safety has no interest in Semiotics, Semiosis or Semantics. https://safetyrisk.net/congruence-in-messaging-in-safety/ https://safetyrisk.net/all-that-you-dont-see-in-messaging/ … [Read more...] about Don’t Be Dumb Like Me, the Typical Safety Keynote
If You’re Happy in Safety, Clap Your Hands
When we were kids we used to sing this song in Primary school and it is still sung by kids today (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwTwt4oIW3U).

In some ways the singing of … [Read more...] about If You’re Happy in Safety, Clap Your Hands
Safety Cops and Safety’s Adoration of Power
I was sent a post yesterday with an apparent attempt at humour by a supposed safety professional. It was a pdf with the title of ‘Top of the Safety Cops’ and obviously trying to play some comparison to the idea of ‘top of the pops’. I won’t give this any value because any reinforcement of … [Read more...] about Safety Cops and Safety’s Adoration of Power
