I consider it positive feedback. The wheel can also grind down the good. It only knows forward momentum, not destination. Justice and the good are human concepts; thus life-enabled, not life- assured. One may become the rebel or the curmudgeon by choice. Choose wisely even if inconsistently and measure that chosen well and often. len From: Rick Jelliffe [mailto:ricko@a...] It is dialectical: the contradictions grow to the point where they are intolerable (and where the best way out it more or less obvious) and then we get a new standard devised. By the time the new standard is devised, technology has also changed enough that rather than merely "correcting" the original, we can expect the new to also address some different issues, bring in a new constituency. They will then work as if the original rationale were obsolete, thus creating a whole new set of contradictory impulses where the old generation adopters become the rebels. Len might think this is the wheel of life. |
