I know you have your disagreements with folks here, but I certainly saw none of the above suggested, ahem, here.<br /><br />And I don't think there's a way out of the thicket. "Works for me" is fine enough. We don't need to correct (if there can be correction) the species; we can, however, not add to the domination. I just fear that a lot of us depend on it more than we realize.<br /><br />And mantis, most of the survivability of anarchism would rely on a power dynamic, namely parenting. And the door stays open.Cüneythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839492265797382364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770450628194471768.post-34945010778237533732012-04-09T12:41:33.483-04:002012-04-09T12:41:33.483-04:00I would agree its born through human interaction b...I would agree its born through human interaction but would add that its sustained through human necessity. Each step in the process is a 'need' or a logical, and necessary reaction to some catalyst. It is certainly sold as such.<br /><br />Taken individually, the reactions are innocuous and benign. Anarchists (in my limited study) have done decent work on the large scale theory. It would be interesting to read how small, latent 'state' like conditions would be met early and delt with in an anarchist mold.d.mantishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817778296282926641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770450628194471768.post-76645702219540536092012-04-08T10:22:47.130-04:002012-04-08T10:22:47.130-04:00Not a mote of passivity or aggression in that comm...Not a mote of passivity or aggression in that comment. Just wondering. Just asking Qs that were triggered by what your post said. <br /><br />Will it always be this way?<br /><br />That's what I'm asking. And I'm saying it doesn't seem to me that we're fixed and determined by our heritage -- cultural, or biological, or a mix of both.<br /><br />You could ask me what I see as a path out of the thicket you describe. I would probably reply that I know only what works for me and that what works for me probably doesn't work for everyone.<br /><br />How'd you guess passive-aggressive in my post? Definitely not what I prefer, I leave that to people who have no spine and feel the victim in all things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770450628194471768.post-67158728052954403312012-04-07T10:38:01.862-04:002012-04-07T10:38:01.862-04:00More of a cultural psychological behavioral mishma...More of a cultural psychological behavioral mishmash, Jack. Humans have a mixed essence; no real essence, just a lot of ingredients. Certain dynamics will emerge, again and again, because a lot of people make a lot of things possible. And then again, even one man can be his own tyrant.<br /><br />Karl, I didn't talk about permanence. I just talk about recurrence, which seems probable given how far we have <i>not</i> come. Humans are still at the cultural level with a few habits demonized but never fully extinguished.<br /><br />And you can save the passive aggressive shit for somebody else. You've been kind and encouraging to me in the past, but I really can't stand that shit.Cüneythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839492265797382364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770450628194471768.post-70872082933552628452012-04-07T09:42:43.622-04:002012-04-07T09:42:43.622-04:00What's permanent?

And will the remaining % always line up behind the taker-without-consideration? Always?<br /><br />History owns us? We're fixed, we're determined, we're delusional about self-determination?<br /><br />Seems this is true only if you think the status quo is status eternal.
