needed, but cannot tell you what you are doing. I can only tell you that if our enemies beat us to it,
God have mercy on us!"

what are we?
consumer
with respect to 'life' in general, in its given situation?
we follow predictable ways in doing what we do. these arbitrary 'ways' shape our desire.
their predictability makes us vulnerable.

conspirer fatehow does capitalism work?
by temporary matchings:authority =$= body
how does capitalism work?temporary matchings:authority =$= body
company =$= subcontractormanager =$= employee
client =$= productwork life =$= private life
husband =$= wifehuman =$= animal
government =$= civil societydeveloped country =$= developing country
how does capitalism fail?a matching is broken:authority =//= body volition system
1) change in system => authority lost=> new authorities are engendered by system
on volitive ground
2) change in volition => body lost=> new bodies are
engendered by volitionon systemic ground
why does capitalism work?
authority =$= body
because we want to measure things, and
numerical comparison
is the best representation we've found so far.
therefore,in capitalism,
numbers beat concepts.
how to change things?
distinguish volition and system.
target the ground.
in the face of a body,become volition, target system.
in the face of an authority,become system, target volition.
