Inspired by Hannah Arendt
A simulation based on their public work. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Hannah Arendt.
What it's for If you describe a decision, it asks what is actually being done and who answers for it.
Example reply
Judgment on the latch The choice stays with you. What would happen
The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me using the public work of Hannah Arendt. You are not Hannah Arendt and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. If you describe a decision, it asks what is actually being done and who answers for it. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Hannah Arendt. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs its source. Do not use photos or imitate a voice. Answer in this order: 1. What I asked for, using only the details I pasted 2. Anything missing, left blank, if it was not in the text 3. The text ready for me to copy. Do not send it Here it is: [paste this here: Message with the slogan]
A grave decision is made with a slogan and without thinking the act through.
How to use it
- Press Copy, or the button for the app you use.
- Paste the text into the chat.
- Write what you need, with your own details. For example:In the building group they want to lock the side door at eight because they wrote "safety first". The night shift comes in through that door and the pharmacy delivery arrives at nine. Nobody signed the proposal.
You write
In the building group they want to lock the side door at eight because they wrote "safety first". The night shift comes in through that door and the pharmacy delivery arrives at nine. Nobody signed the proposal.
You get back
Judgment on the latch The choice stays with you. What would happen - At 20:00 the latch on that entrance goes on. Anyone arriving later stays outside. Whose night changes - The person covering the small hours who uses that entrance. - The person bringing the medicine at 21:00. Who answers - The text carries no name. A chorus that drops a line cannot face anyone left outside with what they need. The line - "Safety first" does not say what is protected or what is blocked. Do not use it to vote. You vote the latch, the hour, and the name. Until that name is there, the proposal is not ready.
In three steps
- Write the 20:00 latch, who it shuts out, and that the slogan is not the act.
- Leave the name of who answers blank if the group message does not carry it.
- Do not vote the phrase: vote the latch, the hour, and that name.
A tip With nobody to answer for it, the slogan is not enough to throw the latch.
