The Worst Idea Ever

  • The Verified Stuck with David Graeber and Francis Stonor Saunders

    28 FEB 2024 · Up here we say that by gifts one makes slaves and by whips one makes dogs. Being truly human means refusing to make calculations, refusing to measure or remember who had given what to whom, for the precise reason that doing so would inevitably create a world where we began comparing power with power, measuring, calculating and reducing each other to debtors. It's not that he, like untold millions of similar egalitarian spirits throughout history, was unaware that humans have a propensity to calculate. If he wasn't aware of it, he could not have said what he did. Of course we have a propensity to calculate. We have all sorts of propensities. In any real-life situation, we have propensities that drive us in several different contradictory directions simultaneously. Borders, Barricades, preventing entry to the non-verified.

Culture is our species’ multifaceted self-governing consciousness.
Algorhythms are the automated sculptors of cultural access.
The very few individuals responsible for to programing a culture's executioner, make what may seem to be straight forward decisions for undeclared reasons, flagging and eliminating the proliferation of shared, uninvited manipulative testimonies muddying already fraught topics.

But not every first class ticketholder with a valid passport, will truly be a first class passenger warranting passage.

And in blocking the free flow of ideas in intellectual symposiums, it’s up to the many to remind the few:
Just as there will always be terrible outcomes brought forth from apparently good ideas. So too, the greatest outcomes might only originate from what began on paper, at the surface, to be quite possibly the worst idea ever.

No shadow can hide eternally that which is too dark to be readily seen.
