Note: Anything contained in square brackets [] is an edit by the organizers.

The hot seat activity

The hot seat exercise made me feel more connected and have better understanding of the other people there.

Anti Self Deception

Die Hot Seat Übung

All activities were great. And also felt they were a good combination of whole group, individual, small group activities.

The hot seat exercise

Topics and hot seat introduction

OODA loops and self deception info and hot seat

hotseat und präsentationen

12. What did you like the least?

• Responses: 10 people (55.56% of attendees)

Note: Anything contained in square brackets [] is an edit by the organizers.

Hot Seat (didn’t think it had much use. Maybe better as a prepared Event so everyone can prepare good questions. Or with pre-printented questions and the option to go away from them any time)

Die Einleitung zur Hostile Telepathy war etwas zu lang, aber trotzdem nützlich

The explanation for the last two activities took maybe longer than it could have.

Explanation for hostile telepathy was too long.

Self deception exercises

median fragerunde

The ice breaker exercises did not seem relevant for the later methods (since those were individual not group exercises)

Ooda-too simple

Hostile Telepath

The topics discussed did not have much impact for me. I don’t feel closer to enlightenment. (sorry! Not meant as an offense! They were well presented.)
