'Why' is what separates us from them, you from me. 'Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless. And this is how you come to me, without 'why,' without power. Another link in the chain."
Is this not the problem with contemporary "monoculture" around us? It is an alluring realm of social pretense which never provides power, but only the illusion of power, power (dunamis) being that dynamic motive force to creativity, love and freedom. By following the false prophets of common culture, by succumbing to the more superficial social pressures of the world, by being mere links in an economic chain, we lose our sense of 'why', we lose any possibility of true power. Thus for many people, choices are an illusion, mere algorithms already played out by an endless parade of nearly useless products, services and expectations. The only way out is not merely to ask "why?", but to understand the 'why' of our own behaviours.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
