Consent

Notes

Claim

Consent is usually about getting a clear, verbal agreement of the other side to what you are offering. Often we fail to get consent while thinking that we have it simply because we misread the situation We can't read minds. That's why verbal conformation is important and we shouldn't rely on our assumptions.

Explanation

Why it matters

Consent impowers the other side by giving them a say in the situation, they are no longer a passive viewer but rather capable of making decisions for themselves Agency is the ability to connect desires and actions. Consent has to be freely given, and can't be coerced, otherwise it is the same as not asking them at all. Accordingly, they should feel free to say no and not fear hurting the other side Psychological safety enables risk-taking and vulnerability without fear of retribution.
