Consequences have boundaries

I’ve just realised that yesterday’s post about consequentialism is closely related to something I studied as part of my postgraduate Systems Thinking qualification: Critical Systems Heuristics, or CSH. The 2x2 grid I shared in that post was a way of resisting the lazy claim that a system is justified merely because it “works”. CSH provides a more disciplined way to ask what is hidden behind that claim.
