Metalogue on (non)capitalist aims
Scene: two people meet at the old railway station in the place of “hay and water.”
A: Train is late again today; would you like to have a cup of coffee while waiting?
B: Yes, why not. No, I don’t take any milk. What do you plan to do with this place? What will it be? (Q1)
A: I don’t know. What would you like it to be?
B: Hmm. So, you are going to live here then? (Q2)
A: No, this is not our home.
Some more inaudible chatter…. people conversing may move inside and walk through the empty rooms…they return to the front of the station at the end of the conversation. Then, a train arrives.
B: And how much is it for the coffee? (Q3)
A: Nothing, it’s free, you are our guest.
B: But I could pay something.

*Ref: Bateson, G. (1972) Steps to an Ecology of Mind - Metalogue: “… a conversation about some problematic subject. This conversation should be such that not only do the participants discuss the problem, but the structure of the conversation as a whole is also relevant to the same subject’.
