Ya a good thinker. I resonate. But then I keep thinking is that a romantic vision that will get mowed over by the world's largest tree crusher! Driven by empire in how many years?!
I think my solution points to paralysis analysis. What is the effect of what we do - to paralyse until we can get a decent understanding. I don't mean that in all of life, but to definitely think about the macro scale and perhaps trigger a transformative transformer - a social hyper object some ancients use to just call Gods, Gods of bio-regions. A symbol that is useless from a social perspective and therefore properly called Art. Yet a beholder can ground the symbol and make a singular meaning if it means something to them. So then perhaps an answer to the question is that if you have a plan and see it through.... Is it beautiful? Will you be sheparding something that is enjoyed? Like an Other eating a delicious meal you've made. If what you make becomes Art and remains ambiguous enough then great. But then there is the aspects of capitalism that aren't so bad either - efficiency and productivity - there is beauty in that too to be fair.
Would it be shared libraries; addressable and version able blocks that make sheparding something that could be creative and still have a standard to follow - so not to have to develop from scratch.
Interesting I met a shepherd last week at a festival. A lady so I suppose a shepherdess! She is Dutch but in England. Met her at a Buddist festival. First Shephard (ess) I ever met!
This is a juicy topic, i struggle with. Perhaps we need both places. Conservatism for the modern romantic and productive lots to keep empire down.
Finding the balance is the trick. I don't have problems with all industry and modern advances. But I do have to question them when they exist only to make a profit, or are only able to carry on because they are allowed to extort people or planet.
I certainly don't have all the answers. But at least we're asking the right questions and looking for a better balance.
