The Johari window is a simple framework that helps describe our relationships. Within the relationship, everything falls into one of four quadrants (of the window)

Things about me that we both know.
Things about me that I know but don't share (so you don't know)
Things about me that you know but don't share (so I don't know)
Things about me that I don't know, and you don't see.

These four categories can be labelled as Open, Facade, Blindspots, and Hidden.

One philosophical approach to life using this framework is to propose that our life's work is to fully open our window. This requires sharing, listening to feedback, and reflecting/seeking expert input.

If we use this framework to consider our (my/your) relationship with the idea of property ownership, we arrive at four interested questions:

What things are obvious and out in the open for all to see?
What attitudes do we have that no-one know's about?
What do our decisions, choices and conversations say about what we value in property?
Are we aware of our unconscious attitudes and external influences that set up our natural biases?

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I believe that place matters.

Our connection to whatever little corner of the planet we find ourselves in, or choose to place ourselves on, matters.

I'm relentlessly curious and continually learning.

My interests are scattered across topics including property, strategy, acoustics, psychology, theology, systems theory, quantum physics and leadership. I read, listen, watch, and learn about whatever grabs my attention in the moment.

This is a learning experiment.

I come here to try to make sense of something I’ve come across, by writing about it.

I’m immersing myself in a new language.

I’m learning to speak Te Reo Māori, the language of the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand and one of our official languages. After spending 2020 studying, I’m figuring out how to keep the journey going outside the classroom.
