we know history passes along cultural memes
from generation to generation
within any
"reproducing social formation"

'course there's
a fair bit of morphin
recombinin and just plain mutatin
along the way
as with the construction of the minds
of each new cohort
the legacy gets
far from perfectly
replicated

over time
much changes with
the passing done process

but regularities emerge
patterns persist

even with
--and despite---
massive and sudden upheavals
yup even after a rev
even after
the sudden total "death of the old "
gives "birth to the new "

"the old "leaves more then
just " birth marks "
on the fresh (or refreshed )
souls of
the rev's raw (or rectified ) babes

these issues got a work out
at mark's a couple days back

over a krug 90's piece
on the robustness to
broad based
cynicism of
our contemporary system
of corporate
let many hierarchies contend
version of capitalism

speaking
systemic viability wise

here's a real star turn:

"What we need is a BALANCE
between selfishness and greed,
not either one to the exclusion of the other."

that in its spoony way
gets at a real sense of the briar
of inner contradictions
most production monads manifest serially

we got lots of insider internalized treason
to contend with
not just
"you're your own worse agent bub "
bruce wilder's
beware your inner slacker
is a nice jump off
but deep depths await us
