THE TYRANNY of STRUCTURELESSNESS
by Jo Freeman aka Joreen
I find this essay extremely interesting. I hope you do, too.
Here is a pertinent quote, from the essay:

about the "shadow side of the green meme". (Each meme has its own shadow,
as well as its own gift...)

Michael,
I'm sorry. I have absolutely no context to understand this story. And it
sounds so interesting. So of course I want to understand it.

there
