Harry, I must admit that the specificity of what you say
for example
"leave them alone" as in Leave as to go
away, pronoun them (whomever) alone, solitary, singular
etc. is an interesting choice. But of course you
were being idiomatic as so much of English is otherwise why would fanny mean a
woman's vagina in England and her backside in
America? Why would public schools be private in England and
private schools be public? I don't know what all this means to
a Brit from California. But the process of not intruding is
still, as I said, the same process as the radical environmentalists use in the
forest and it doesn't work. Eventually the forest decays, changes
and its neither better nor worse but just is, however for we humans it is often
considerably worse. Radical environmentalism is not prefirable
to good forestry and I question whether the same process, no matter what you
call it, works anywhere.
Otherwise you are definitely better if you are eaten when
you get older by predators, it strengthens your children and living indoors does
nothing for your muscles, stamina, etc. and watching TV instead of creating your
own art is just lousy for the human mind and its development. But I
have a very Laissez-faire attitude about such things as old age, houses and
aleatory TV game shows and Pavarotti's little capital investment in three tenors
although I don't frequent them.
I do not have a Laissez-faire attitude towards the
marketplace nor do I have such an attitude towards the forest. I
believe that it should be negotiated wisely in a Democratic fashion with as
egalitarian values as we have the ability to create. I believe
in Democracy, gardens, forestry and the cultivation of wild intelligence for
food and relationships. I believe in art, law, the Great
Mystery and in the need of every human being to work towards their own
enlightenment free from meddling. That does not mean that being a
"free rider" is necessarily good for anyone, and besides it isn't an even
playing field, for I also believe that there are game like qualities to
life and that the rules should be balanced for everyone through the governing
principle. Elected by the people. I don't believe
in progress, I believe in change. I believe in foolishness and the
need to guard against it as well even though fools have just as much a right to
vote as anyone else.
I don't believe in politicians who have conflicts of
interest controlling the voting booths either.
So God allowed light to become in the Hebrew
creation. That is the way it is with creativity. The
biggest allow is the permission one gives one's mind to go beyond your
second assumption and grow. But you were probably talking business.
I think it is wrong to mix up business with creativity. Also,
I take insult at your putting this into the catagory of wanting something for
nothing or wanting a Great White Father to take care of me. That was
the way the English raped my people. It is the N word to me and your
using it is beneath your argument.
By the way, where is the second lecture on
Georgism? You did the first the other day and I asked for
number two. We might call it: "After rent what
then?" Synergy demands more than just a few fragments.
