Values for yunity

Contributors: Doug W, Joachim T, Taïs R, Janina A, Philip E, Robert L.
Please gather all and any values relating to yunity. Adding definitions to values is equally important. This is a creative process and we will make a decision on our values later. Please add to and rearrange but don't delete.
Inspirations;
  • (Inspired from 'Swarmwise' by Rick Falkvinge)
Proposed values and definitions;
Sharing
  • Unconditional sharing
  • making efficient use of all existing resources by not hiding it from other people but pooling it
  • The act of physical distribution, originating from the acknowledgment that we are one organism and our resources are by definition shared.
  • We share our information, our code and what we've learned without reserve - 
Trust
  • expecting people to do the best they're capable of
  • expecting people to behave in a constructive way
  • "We assume good faith. We assume that everybody wants the organization to succeed, even when they do things we don’t understand." - Swarmwise
Creativity ?Cocreativity?
Cooperation ?Cocreation? ?Collaboration?
  • When I was in Swizerland my professors suggested to switch the term cooperation with collaboration. they send me a few papers about the difference and as they explained it to me it sounded very reasonable... oooh, please link.
  • Together we are stronger. Our motivation for cooperation is not individual gain (earning money) but the joy of achievement.
Complementarity
  • Wikipedia: "a relationship or situation in which two or more  different things improve or emphasize each other's qualities." 
  • Synergetics
Love
  • Respect
  • goodwill/benevolence - wish everybody well
  • supportive/helping manner
Sustainability
  • Reduction of envirnomental destruction
  • Saving resources
Life and death 
  • Willing to die for something and willing to live for something.
Promoting Happiness
Inspiring
  • Creativity co-creativity
Freedom from outer restrictions and freedom to decide for 
  • Freedom of acting
  • Experience the freedom to choose for yourself, what your life should be about
  • Base your decisions on insights in your true goal/motivation/...
Self empowerment
  • We are able to decide, determine and choose for ourselves
  • Full potential
Inviting
  • Welcoming, arms open wide, any one who is curious about yunity and help them explore their self-empowerment possibilities.
Integrity - Hamony between inner imagination of values and daily life practise "be your word"
  • Authenticity - be yourself - standing in your own truth
  • meet in real life and get to know each other
Kindness
  • In this kind of thought: "If you do someone a favor and you expact something in return, you do business not Kindness" - it's about unconditional here :)
Honesty
  • Being clear and straight
  • Articulating existing thoughts and not jjust just just wanted ones
Responsibility
  • especially when it comes to our term of freedom
  • for our own individual actions and decisions
Tolerance
open mindnes
  • Avoiding dogmas
  • Embracing contradictions on an individual level
Respect
  • All people by expecting the best from everyone
  • our environment by refusing a neverending  consumption dogma which implies inequalities and destruction
Action
  • We do!
  • Finding a balance between 'paralysis by analysis' and 'extinct by instinct'.
Evolution/Adaptive
  • We are not static and our decisions can be changed. We can adapt our specifics to achieve/approach our objectives.
Passion
  • Taking pride in what you do
Friendship/Community
  • Shared values
  • Viewing the other as an allos autos (another self)
Humor
  • Fun fun fun!!!
  • Taking (y)ourself not too seriously
  • Allowing to laugh about mistakes instead of looking for someone to blame
Unity
  • Being one with others

How are the different core values defined?
Value: Freedom
Proposals: 
A) We differentiate between "freedom from" and "freedom to".
We want to be free of outer restrictions
and work towards empowering ourselves to be free to choose our wants and actions.
Choices are not restrictions to us.
The ability to choose consciously is our freedom.
B) 
Self-determination
We believe that everyone should enable their most fundamental freedom to expand by choosing for yourself, what your life should be about. By refusing to continue in an endless consumption loop, we stand out and stand proud of our choices.

With good faith anyone and everyone is invited to join yunity - we look forward to welcoming you in.
