Morenian activities as "protocols"

[Adam Blatner]

Dear colleagues, especially those interested in sociatry and sociometry, with an edge of philosophy thrown in. David Brooks wrote a column recently that struck me.

It's a way to re-appreciate the power of our ideas, that economics, psychology, sociology, there are significant overlaps, because when many of the products of the species are ideas rather than things, this cultural-economic process shifts rather fundamentally.

    In this sense, what I'm claiming that Moreno gave us wasn't just a package, but a bunch of tools that are in a sense protocols, sets of instructions, what to do when... 
            They aren't rigid, but rather general and flexible, but they're important and hardly appreciated: such as,

  If possible, allow people to choose their work team based on their own mutual preferences... and other implications of sociometry
    If possible, get folks discussing and use doubling and other ways of increasing imagination and safety to keep the discussion even more personal and meaningful...
 
   ... stuff like that. Warmly, ADam
