There is endless research on how the heart and gut serve as ‘second’ and ‘third’ brains (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/384446830_The_Gut_The_Body%27s_Second_Brain; https://neurosciencenews.com/cognition-emotion-heatbeat-29747/; … [Read more...] about Do You Have the Heart for Safety?

One Brain, Three Minds and Perception
One of the foundational drivers of understanding perception and decision making in SPoR is the One Brain Three Minds concept (1B3M). It essentially proposes that humans have three speeds and centres of perception and decision making, as whole persons. There is extensive research to support the idea … [Read more...] about One Brain, Three Minds and Perception
The Harm You Cannot See
One of the most profound deficiencies of the zero-harm cult is its focus on the physical. The zero-vision quest is a quest to count visible injury rates with no expertise to understand the nature of social-psychological and cultural harm. An example of the kind of harm I am talking about was … [Read more...] about The Harm You Cannot See
Understanding The Slow Brain and Fast Mind in Tackling Risk
One of the founding models of SPoR is One Brain and Three Minds (https://safetyrisk.net/one-brain-three-minds-what-the-research-says/ ). This is based on all the research that demonstrates that we ‘think’ at various speeds, not just ‘fast and slow’ as proposed by Kahneman. There is no binary … [Read more...] about Understanding The Slow Brain and Fast Mind in Tackling Risk
One Brain Three Minds, What the Research Says
The foundation of ethics starts with an understanding of personhood. If one thinks a human person is a computer-like brain attached to a body, then learning is constructed as brain-cognition and error is constructed as cognition failure. This is the approach we find common in safety. This is how we … [Read more...] about One Brain Three Minds, What the Research Says
Safety is Not All in the Brain
One of the grand delusions of traditional safety is that learning is all in the brain. When you look at the ideology of traditional safety such as HOP, all the semiotics is brain-centric. Anyone with any expertise and intelligence in Education and Learning knows that human development is about … [Read more...] about Safety is Not All in the Brain
Why Does 1B3M Matter in Safety?
Whether you can articulate it or not, your philosophy and ethic of the human matters for safety (https://safetyrisk.net/and-the-enemy-of-safety-is-humans/ ). If you view the human as an object, number or a hazard then brutalising persons becomes easy. This is what the AIHS endorses … [Read more...] about Why Does 1B3M Matter in Safety?
Evidence for One Brian Three Minds in SPoR
It is always good to be asked an open question of SPoR and these are always welcomed. The key to learning in risk and safety is reading and conversing outside the mono-disciplinary genre of risk and safety and by asking open questions. SPoR has no interest in closed questions of non-inquiry or … [Read more...] about Evidence for One Brian Three Minds in SPoR
A Change of Heart and Worldview
The connection between the Heart, Gut and Brain is astounding, which is why in SPoR, we make the concept of One Brain Three Minds (1B3M) (https://safetyrisk.net/gab-and-robone-brain-three-minds/) foundational to understanding decision making. The research on humans as enactive embodied persons is … [Read more...] about A Change of Heart and Worldview
There is no Fast and Slow Thinking, Nor Quick Learning
The founding weakness with Kahneman’s model of Minds 1 and 2 is there is no immediate developing mind. In fallible human learning there is no quick and slow, most learning is developmental. More so, Kahneman’s model is brain-centric and this is not how we learn or think. This is no surprise emerging … [Read more...] about There is no Fast and Slow Thinking, Nor Quick Learning
