Wisdom tends to confuse itself with orders on today’s page Peter Bayne and Benjamin Franklin tell us to stay in our places. That fragmentation seems so hateful. Where is the joy in pragmatic systematic segregations of ideas that are Born to set our inner wings to flying. But there I go again rambling on potential again as if it can sustain us. Hope and potential are very different Beasts, and who defines what idleness is made of when money and objects no long monopolize our understanding of production. Now there’s so cultural repudiation Franklin and Bayne would prefer to ignore, but we no longer have that comfort; it’s the information age of integration, assimilation, and a total lack of any concept of the term boundary. All polyamorous, polytheistic multiculturalists, please step to center stage; this is the first sighting of your promised land. Singularity has lost its universal appeal.
