On integrity


Razvan

i think doing a selfevaluation on this is a great pratice for couples

i mean, i think this should be like a mandatory initial information shared

Jeff

Transparency is helpful

Razvan.

but also an essential step towards growing intimacy

yes 1st selfawareness

2nd transperency

3rd conflict resolution

Jeff

You need self awareness to be transparent.

Razvan

well not necesserily

there are people who are transparent, but share chaotic information

selfesxpression is a mandatory selfesteem process

Jeff

Then they are translucent.

Razvan

ah

u have a specific term . alright

do you think these terms are intuitive tho ?

Jeff

Instead of transparent they are fuzzy. I'm not sure if they are intuitive.

Razvan

personally i still think they can be transparent. meaning they are able to convey specific , coherent information

but that information is unreliable

i mean.. they might actually believe it themselves and .. making it come true for a short period of time

Jeff

To me transparent implies clarity. Their information is clouded.

Razvan

my point is that it isnt clouded. it does represent them in that moment

but it wont next week

in another context

unaware people are people that lack integrity .. not actual coherence

i mean, it can be both of course

Jeff

If it is unreliable, does it accurately represent them?

Razvan

yes, in the now

i mean there 1 the transluncent people

Jeff

Wouldn't that make it reliable in the now?

Razvan

and 2 the transparent people made out of glass, and out of water

yes it does make it reliable in the now, unreliable long term

Jeff

Transparent now but foggy as time goes by?

Razvan

no , the issue is not the wall

its their substance, thats whats changing

the fogginess only comes in the eyes of the beholder, cause he had different expectations

he doesnt know if its a dirty wall or a different substance

Jeff

The issue is consistency?

Razvan

yeah

integrity

thats where selfawareness > self actualizattion comes in perhaps

Jeff

Can the ignorant have integrity?

Razvan

or perhaps its an underlying problem .. their mind cant hold on to concepts , cant prioritize

and there is no fixing it

unless you restrict their context

Jeff

They can learn

Razvan

yes, but just as before. a temporary lesson .. again i think we branch in two. the ones who once they hear the lesson they can gain that consistency / integrity. then there are those pathologically unable to retain concepts . brain chemistry

how would you define ignorant ?

Jeff

Lack of awareness. We are all ignorant of most things. When we are ignorant of things that affect us then we have problems.

Razvan

to answer ur question then, yes

ignorant people can have integrity

not sure if i presented you my model for human architecture

Jeff

What you posted in NVCa?

Razvan

our biology has core symbols > the intuition tries to convey these through emotions > we via philosophy name them values

so the core symbols still exist in a person even without him being aware of them

Jeff

Ignorant people will not look like they have integrity to someone who is aware.

Razvan

an uneducated person can still have integrity .. an animal can still have integrity

i disagree

awareness is a failsafe mechanism

Jeff

The aware person will see the contradictions.

Razvan

yes. but the argument was that ignorance doesnt translate into contradiction

you dont have to understand values to have values

your competence doesnt rely directly on your cognition

Jeff

If you are not aware then your actions won't match intentions. If they matched that would meet my need for integrity.

Razvan

the debate is on awareness being needed for integrity

you are not bringing an argument

you just took it as a premise

"If you are not aware then your actions won't match intentions."

Jeff

My comment was that to an aware person observing an ignorant person they would appear to lack integrity. Their actions and intentions don't match.

Razvan

and my debate is on why do you assume an ignorant person lacks integrity?

Jeff

Their intentions don;t match their results and they don't realize it.

Razvan

they dont have to realize it, their intuition can realize it

also , that scenario is still valid for an aware person

everyone fails

so the argument is that both aware and ignorant learn . it doesnt take awareness to learn

Jeff

Yes and an ware person will learn from it.

Razvan

it might speed up the process but its not mandatory

Jeff

Of course someone can choose to remain ignorant and many people do.

This is what I find so funny on Ray Taylor's NVC pages.

NVCa, NVCb NVCe, and several others

Razvan

btw

dont you think its mostly a competence issue?

Jeff

Most attempts at giving feedback result in attacks instead of trying to learn.

Razvan

i mean, peoeples intelligences vary greatly 1 their resources vary greatly as well 2 so imagine a less intelligent person with low resources vs a more intelligent person with high resources

Jeff

I think the issue is self judgment.

Razvan

so u see them as equals in intelligence , but with a flawed philosophy

a broken mechanism

Jeff

Yes and I am going to exercise the dogs. Catch you later

Razvan

aight, ttyl

im more a proponent of hanlons razor

i put competence stemming from hardware / physical issues first

then on resources check (stress , illness , and third on the philosphy . their learned mechanisms

Jeff

Briefly looking at it I agree.
