anarchism in the neo-modernist era

About the overlapping areas of architecture and anarchy. This blog is to expose ideas and thoughts for your criticism, as I feel that it is only with the help of publicity and thus dialogue that one can actually develop the proces of thinking. Start the dialogue here!

Text in italics are my own thoughts.

Hierarchical, top-down design politics (or control) is what analytical science is to truth. It is about platonic view of life. It is explanatory and helpful but eventually deceitful and wrong. It is the abstract model (theory of how things are) with high risk.

Anarchy is what emergence is to science. It is a-platonic model of life full of unknown properties that emerge only after a certain set of iterations in society. It is the falsified model (observed properties of how things are) with high resilience.

There are visions which emerge as dreams and when they are attained it is key to shift from the process of achieving to one of nurturing. Achieving can be a seductive force and accomplishments once valued become merely steps in its structure.
In the civilizations I have created, the knowledge of nurturing is of the highest order. For it is better to feed the actualized dream than to lose the self in waves of endless achieving.
