How might we manage our equity-meritocracy dilemmas and co-create a fair-free-flourishing-future for all?

How might we manage the ethical polarities between virtues and values?

Challenge our mindsets from within

Big Hairy Audacious Questions (BHAQs) challenge our mindsets from within by exploring our blind spots of assumptions, perspectives, value-virtue discrepancies, implicit biases, prejudices and paradigms.

Our blind spots impair our abilities to create the middle ground of collaborative and transformational learning needed to solve our complex web of wicked problems in the 21st-century.

We see but we are blind.

Generative dialogues enable us to see our blind blind spots.

The BHAQs (as headlined and listed below) aim to evoke generative dialogues about the equity-meritocracy dilemma within ongoing learning communities. The purpose of these dialogues is to enhance our ethical literacy in managing the moral polarities that arise between and within our individual values and social virtues.

• How might we set the improvisation stage for co-creating generative dialogues about the ethics of launching Equity Moonshot?

Enjoy musing over the ethics about BHAQs

See if you can take time for self-reflection, slow thinking, deep learning and generative dialogues.

How might we:

1. Understand better what triggers our emotional reactivity to equity?

2. Define equity as a social virtue for fairness?

3. Explore the upsides and downsides of meritocracy?

4. Manage the equity-meritocracy dilemmas with equanimity?

5. Maximize the upsides of equity, equality liberty, and freedom and minimize their downsides?
