Thank you for your comment and especially your guest recommendations! :)
Note that saying “this isn’t my intention” doesn’t prevent net negative effects of a theory of change from applying. Otherwise, doing good would be a lot easier.
I completely agree. But I still think that saying when a harm was unintentional is an important signaling mechanism. For example, if I step on your foot, saying “Sorry, that was an accident” doesn’t stop you from experiencing pain but hopefully prevents us from getting into a fight. Of course it is possible for signals like this to be misused by bad actors.
I also highly recommend clarifying what exactly you’re criticizing, i.e. the philosophy, the movement norms or some institutions that are core to the movement.
Ideally all of the above, with different episodes focusing on different aspects. Though I agree I should make the scope of the criticism clear at the beginning of each episode. I think the Ozzie’s comment below has a good break down that I may use in the future.
