Poetics and Risk Part IV; Poetics, Ethics and Risk
Ethical in signs and symbols and slogans
Do your organisations signs symbols and slogans unintentionally push you to an extremist position?
Mottos, policies, memes and slogans are not ethically neutral. What are the ethics and morals of your organisation and are they accurately portraited in your Poetics.
Slogans lack any sense of nuance, dialectic (things that are held in tension) and any sense of movement within the slogan.
Watch and Enjoy!

The continual incompetence of Safety in Ethics is mind blowing. Keep it all in the bubble, call in the engineers, repeat the word ‘professional’ but above all else don’t seek expertise in Ethics. The associations and industry is a moral joke.
