Welcome to ETHOS. Take a seat underneath
your ETHOS tree and take a moment to
reflect on your current intent. In a world demanding speed, ETHOS dares you to slow down.
Just for a moment when you sit behind your desk
in the morning. What is your current intent? What are you working towards? Not
in the words of KPIs, quarterly targets, and other business jargon. Your own words. What
are you trying to nurture? And what people, places, practices, and ETHOS
elements are there to support you? I
n a world that is stripping you of autonomy, ETHOS makes space to imagine new possibilities.
What assumptions do you want to challenge? What conversations do you want to start?
What practices do you want to transform? In a world that is increasingly untethered, ETHOS grounds you in place. What online places do you inhabit? Where on planet Earth are you?
How do these places shape you? In a world that emphasizes competition, ETHOS highlights collaboration. Instead of collecting followers, who d
o you choose to feature on
your profile? Who are your collaborators, who shapes your thoughts and
ideas? Who are your people? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines
ethos as “the distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of
a person, group, or institution”. With ETHOS, Tethix is building an
Ethical Tension and Health Operating System that will help you nurture your ethos
and the ethos of your organisations. Currently, ETHOS is in seedling stage and
supports the
creation of your ETHOS profile and collection of ETHOS intents. It is
also an invitation to start nurturing your daily ETHOS practice through the
My ETHOS dashboard. A place where you can reflect on your current intent,
pin your people, places, practice, and ETHOS commitments, and get inspired by
intents stored in your exploration backpack. Soon, the actions you take in the ETHOS
app will start transforming your ETHOS experience in subtle ways, encouraging you
to develop all Elemental Ethi
cs skills: collaboration, research, practice, and reflection. In the next phase, you will be able to
connect ETHOS to tools you use every day, such as Slack, Jira or Figma, and
keep track of how your intents turn into actions. You'll be able to plant
seeds of good intentions in team ETHOS gardens. And nurture them by trying to
build more responsible tech together. Over time, ETHOS will help you bridge the
ethical intent to action gap through a playful, immersive experience that
trains your
moral imagination. The way we build tech will need to change as
the world changes amidst the polycrisis we're currently facing. In order to tackle this
massive challenge, we need to think, talk, feel and do tech ethics differently.
We hope to grow Tethix ETHOS into your responsible tech journey companion that helps
you embody ethics and transform your practice. Right now, ETHOS is still a delicate seedling,
trying to grow in a hostile ecosystem with little sunshine, so please tread with ca
re. We’re
still trying to figure out where to find the nutrients this little seedling desperately
needs to grow and thrive. So if you like this humble seedling despite its initial limitations
and would like to help, please get in touch and help us bring a bit of calm, mindfulness,
and better intents to the tech we build.
