Context (3)

[Corrie van Wijk]

Information can take a different meaning when put in a different context.

E.g.

"Order versus entropy;
structure versus chaos;
categorising versus networking;
hierarchy versus democracy."

If I put it here, you can't move it around any more.

Steve: "Philosophically, life is moving and death is stasis, life is in chaos, death is in order/structure - contrasting "free spirit" versus "establishment". both are part of the whole - moving and location."

What is the use of order?

Ah, those poor old 'free spirits', always getting crushed by the 'establishment' And when, come the revolution, the free spirits line the establishment up against the wall, guess who said free spirits turn into? The 'new' establishment, punishing those with different views.

'Los de Abajo' ('The Underdogs') was a good, if vicious, book on the subject.

Same thing can happen with ideas too, which I suppose is why the cleanforum is coming up for a bit of destabilisation from within.

Phil: "cleanforum is coming up for a bit of destabilisation from within."

Now, isn't that rebelling against established clean spirits?
