Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper analyzes the impact of absencing on well-being. It explores the source of absencing in the attentional violence created by the logic of internalized capitalism: the belief that one’s self-worth is linked to productivity, the consumerist model of well-being, and the instrumentalization of relationships. The worldview created through the internalization of capitalist values leads to a stress enhancing, alienating way of life with negative consequences for well-being. Attention is diverted away from the wholeness of self and other, from the quality of relationships, creating a social field where individuals relate to themselves, others and the world through the logic of absencing. When this logic dominates the subjective structure of the inner world it reinforces self-optimization and commodified social relations that undermine well-being. Critical awareness of the internalization of capitalism reveals that even transformative approaches for well-being can become instrumentalized by the capitalist logic. This article highlights the importance of a critical lens to understand how mindfulness, and spirituality in organizations can become dominated by a capitalist worldview. It will use presencing in Theory U as a case study of a transformative approach aiming to undermine absencing while being constantly haunted by its influence.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
