Thoughts on the oversimplification of Kendall:

Kendall is not just constantly having a mental breakdown, and I think explaining away everything he does as a result of one does a disservice to his complexity (i.e. "He talked to Matsson and smiled so he must be losing it”). In that case, after some thought, I think what happened is that he just realized a way he could get his lifelong CEO dream back that he thought was gone, and is getting back in the ring with his dad with actual potential to win finally. I don't think that's the right choice for him emotionally, but it is a reasonable thought and from what we've heard so far, he's right and it works.

Sometimes his motivations are complicated and we don't see them right away, but jumping to conclusions because it's not always obvious is reminiscent of his siblings' former assessments of him as just crazy or high, which have often been proven incorrect:

Kendall has always had good business ideas, so I wouldn't underestimate what he's capable of thinking up this season. It may not be what's best for him, but he's right more often than not. If you listen to Jeremy’s interviews, he always has explanations for Kendall's decisions and behaviors. He’s always been a complex character and I’m just not a fan of seeing him being reduced to a random diagnosis or dismissed as crazy.

The Tyranny of Structurelessness

This essay was first given as a lecture at a 1970 conference of the Southern Female Rights Union. Some of it feels familiar. “A "laissez faire" group is about as realistic as a ‘laissez faire’ society; the idea becomes a smokescreen for the strong or the lucky to establish unquestioned hegemony over others. This hegemony can be so easily established because the idea of "structurelessness" does not prevent the formation of informal structures, only formal ones. Similarly "laissez faire" philosophy did not prevent the economically powerful from establishing control over wages, prices, and distribution of goods; it only prevented the government from doing so. Thus structurelessness becomes a way of masking power, and within the women's movement is usually most strongly advocated by those who are the most powerful (whether they are conscious of their power or not). As long as the structure of the group is informal, the rules of how decisions are made are known only to a few and awareness of power is limited to those who know the rules. Those who do not know the rules and are not chosen for initiation must remain in confusion, or suffer from paranoid delusions that something is happening of which they are not quite aware.“
