G-Lab-2b – Articles and Perspectives

In social sciences, game theory (originally used in mathematics) has become a fundamental tool for understanding and transforming human dynamics in the context of uncertainty. This approach invites us to see interactions not only as confrontations between opposing interests but as opportunities to build agreements that benefit all parties involved. In times of social transformation, this perspective acquires special relevance…

Article written by: Rita Burgett Martell “Leaders don’t create followers; they create more leaders.” — Tom Peters I was a shy sixteen-year-old, afraid of my own shadow, the summer I worked at our local hospital. The Director of Nursing was a strong, loud, powerful, woman dressed in the white, starched uniform that the nurses wore back then. She intimidated me…

Social media recommendation algorithms, often criticized for their interest in generating more visibility and engagement by fostering division and radicalization, hold a unexplored potential: they could steer digital discourse in a more constructive and cooperative direction (without losing their focus of interest; generating visibility and engagement). At a time when polarization and fragmentation not only shape discourses, but also divide…

To better understand the title, it is important that you first travel with me into the world of physics. Imagine globalization as a force similar to gravity. Gravity keeps the planets in their orbit and allows us to walk on the surface of the earth, it affects everything and everyone, regardless of whether we are aware of it or want…

An article dedicated to any person or organization that pursues their vision to create something exceptional. When we talk about creativity, or being creative, technical creativity comes to mind, which makes it easier for us to solve problems. Like the famous design thinking concept that is presented as a methodology to develop innovation, offering a lens through which to observe…

From my perspective today there are moments in history that change everything. Times when not only the "stage of life" shifts but the "play" itself is rewritten. These turning points may seem inevitable in retrospect, but for those who experience them, they mean chaos, loss and painful reorientation. The question before us is not whether we will reach a tipping…

In this article I do not want to expose finished thoughts or theses, but open questions, reflections that occupy me at the moment and questions that we should all ask ourselves about our current time we live in. I want to begin with a little story I have heard about a mechanic's shop and its corresponding workers. Perhaps a classic…

Unfortunately, in recent months we have heard many governments of countries, among them: China, Russia, Germany, France, England, Nordic and Baltic countries etc..., say that they will again increase the “defense” budget and arm their armies to be prepared for war. However, this raises the underlying question: If we go back to the same patterns, can we really call the…

In our world we try to look for clear answers and “perfect” solutions. But what happens when those very solutions are themselves the problem? This article examines this paradoxical situation from several perspectives. “Every solution to a problem changes the problem.” Paul Watzlawick. The solution can be a problem It is a fact that solutions are often more complex than…

Today I want to talk to you about a subject deeply manifested in the soul of humanity: freedom. The interesting thing about freedom is that it is both a universal and personal concept, a right for which generations have “fought” and continue to “fight”. There are many remarkable examples of the “struggle” for freedom in human history, but today I…
