title: Compromised safety
lang: en

> So let’s exaggerate a little? To make this more relatable? When you interact with someone whose Symbolic Violence/Hexis/cultural capital is much higher than yours you are condemned to “hit yourself” in an unpleasant way?
>
> The central question after all this is: Society has conditioned you to “hit yourself” when talking to people passing certain patterns and you have them in a team how can you work? What methods can even work in that situation?
>
> Agility is ridiculously unequipped for that: To improve the team we are supposed to reflect on the issues, communicate them, decide experiments and follow trough them: every part of this depend on a safety that is compromised.
>
> A Pair programming or mob session where one of the participants is hitting oneself is not a co-creation, it is submission.

A follow-up invoking Sociology and Bourdieu to explain [Power Dynamics](/david/stream/2018/05/02/). Still thinking about that. From a scientific point of view, inequalities are necessary for movement, hence life? Requires some more digging.
