what ultimately lies behind the appeal of bureaucracy is fear of play..t
i buy that. as in – fear of uncertainty. but i believe we’ve trained ourselves into that. .(safety addiction et al).. trained ourselves into a play is subversive mentality/legality.
this is ginormous..
fear of letting go enough ness.. so haven’t yet gotten to.. haven’t yet seen.. legit freedom
carhart-harris entropy law et al
none of us are free ness
i think this is the same thing going on when david and ie: m of care – may 28 – talk of arbitrary ness.. not that it messes up the dance.. but that we’re afraid of it (arbitrary ness).. so we never get back/to the dance
i think we need to be as bold as david was in calling out our fear of play.. and call out our fear of arbitrary ness
