Woods and Carl (Welcome!) great posts!
woods says: Regulation and socialism too heavily relied upon to save us suffocates dynamic quality. Suffocates freedom. It's not that we would need to be all freedom, but a balance can be struck where we come to our conclusions and ways of living on our own without needing others who think they know best how to fix everything for us. Andre says As I read your posts I was reminded of another passage in Lila (p314) the part where "...faith in man's basic goodness as spontaneous and natural is disastously naive..etc". May I suggest that regulation and their related institutions have been put in place as static PoV's as 'latching devices' to remind, regulate, guide and preserve etc the activities of social PoV's.These are there in response to and recognition of a reminder that freedom also implies responsibilities and consequences. "Blindly" responding and acting to a dynamic quality event can be dangerous. Again,and we all seem to agree on this..the trick is to find the balance. That is to have those institutions work in such a way as to being capable of responding to DQ. This process is going to be slow but...just thinking off the top of my head: Isn't it already happening here and there along the lines of "acting in the spirit of the law...", (and not its actual wording).This spirit , in time, will result in a change of the actual wording. a DQ inspired spirit changed into a static PoV (but a 'better' one than the one before). And so things will change....for the better..we all hope. Anyway, just a thought.
