Nice post. Where'd you find "schismogenetically" ?? ;-)

Thanks. I made it up, of course. I knew you would be impressed.

Seriously, it is a term coined by Gregory Bateson, one of the not-totally-recognized 
geniuses of last century. He was an anthropologist, a biologist (like his father) and a 
philosopher. Perhaps one of his wives is better known because she made more stink in the 
world regarding women's liberation: Margaret Mead.  Gregory's best known publication 
probably is "Steps to an Ecology of Mind". It's a series of articles written 
throughout his life. Most of my own fundamental ideas about the way society works 
(doesn't work) come from this book.
