Three groups were asked to fix the worlds problems.

Here are the results from the recordings I made:

Group one:

One: Oh, the world is bad!
Everyone: Yes, it's really bad for us!
One: And it's getting worse and worse!
All: Yes, really. We have much less freedom than before!
One: Oh what, freedom! That's just a lie. They just want to cheat us all.
All: My God, yes. It is so true.
One: And this poverty everywhere! This suffering everywhere! It makes me so madly angry to see all these poor people!
Everyone: Us too! We are so angry and sad!
One: We should show them up there!
All: That's right! We should fight!
One: Well, let's go! Let's stand up for our rights!
All: Let's go! Only the fight will free us and save the world!
One: We must arm ourselves. We will be an army of liberators!
All: Hooray!

Group two:

One: Oh, what a beautiful world!
Everyone: Yes, why does everyone find it so bad? We are doing well!
One: Yes, but the poor in the world are not as well off as we are.
All: Right. But we must not despair.
One: Look, I brought a flower with me. It will heal us all. And all the others too.
All: Oh, how wonderful. It's true, I can already feel the healing effect!
One: I can feel so much love in me. Here, I give it to you all!
All: Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!
One: Let us be grateful for everything we have.
Everyone: Yes, we are so grateful!
One: We will be the ambassadors of love. Poverty is just a word. We will be rich in spirit, rich in love and everything will disappear all by itself!
Everyone: Yes, all evil will disappear once and for all!
One: Only you yourself are the one who can help yourself!
All: Yes, only you yourself. Hooray!

Group three:

One: What do we do now?
All: thoughtful.
One: We should discuss the problems of this world here in this room and find a solution?
All: yes, strange, isn't it?
One: You can't solve the problems of the world from one room, can you?
Everyone: nods.
One: It is extremely difficult. What should the individual concentrate on?
All: look at each other questioningly.
One: Does each of you have orientation in life when things get difficult?
All: Yes, yes. That is important!
One: Do you know what to do when money becomes scarce?
All: but of course, but yes.
One: do you know what to do when one of your own dies or falls ill?
Everyone: well, sure, we visit the sick and bury the dead.
One: When a stranger outside calls for help or bleeds, do you know what you are doing?
Everyone: that's not so hard. Help him and care for the wound.
One: Do you take enough care to look for solutions to your private problems?
All: Yes, but surely. We are very interested in our well-being.
One: If you have information which should be shared, do you know where you can go?
Everyone: to those it concerns most.
One: Then what are we doing here?
All: We should go.
One: Lets go.
All: Alright.


Numbers:
The biggest group was built by group Number one.
The second largest group was team Number two. But close to one.
The smallest team was that of Number three.


Conditions:
Group Number one met online.
Group Number two met online.
Group Number three met offline.


Evaluation:
In general all groups are very capable when it comes to needed choices and decisions to be made.
Group Number one tends to take influence on all groups but mostly influences itself.
Same with group Number two.
Same with group Number three.


Meanings:
online: Internet-usage, realm of thinking in the individual
offline: Person to Person interaction, realm of dialogue, direct interaction


Interpretation:
Group one thinks it has no influence.
Group two thinks it has huge influence.
Group three is aware of its limits.

Group one cannot cope well with uncertainty.
Group two thinks things are certain.
Group three acknowledges both.

Group one thinks it is a minority and strives for majority.
Group two doesn't care about minorities or majorities.
Group three is confident about not putting too much worry into these numbers.


Meta perspective:
Group one and two are not separated from group three.

All groups are right and wrong at the same time.
Wrongs = exaggeration
Rights = feelings of care
Wrongs = over-estimations
Rights = decision makings


Meta-Meta perspective:
None of these groups do exist.
