#conceptualengineering — Public Fediverse posts

So, an #Introduction.

I'm Wolfgang, a #Philosopher by training, #Facilitator by trade and late-coming social #Activist. Born and grown up in Germany, I currently live in #London where I work on #UniversalBasicIncome (#UBI) and #MovementEcology.

As a facilitator, I help people think together: build shared #MentalModels and do collective #Sensemaking.

I have been active in the #ClimateJustice movement since early 2019 and am on a political journey further left ever since.

(I'm increasingly sceptical of the left/right framing, though, and for a very #Leftist reason: It serves conservative/capitalist #CulturalHegemony by masking #Inequality and #Oppression with an illusion of moral neutrality.)

I'm a nerd about #Complexity, #ConceptualEngineering and theories of #Consciousness, think via #Notetaking and live with two fantastic #Dogs.

I value #Abstraction over analogy, #Artrock over Alternative and #AnimalRights over agribusiness.

The moderation standards of this instance will nudge me to be my full uncomfortable self. It's not like I haven't hung out with work colleagues at bars before, and I expect to refer a lot to my bar behavior as I deal with the good and the bad through this account. But the Mastodon norm of using more hashtags and CWs demands sharp distinctions, not just faint #Flagging in dim lighting. @Buster I hear you and I feel you. I think about #ConceptualEngineering a lot.
