We live in a culture that takes connectivity for granted but is not incentivized to sense its texture. It has never been easier to use other people’s language. When we use someone else’s words without taking stock (or integrating) their meaning, we effectively move around parcels, products of thinking. When we go into spaces that ask us to fit in, converge on a single fit, or ‘collaborate,’ we toon show up as products, with small to no movement in the boxes this space made for us.
Without the ability to move meaning, there is no way to self-author, and eventually no way to be creative.
Axiom: Nothing is lossless.
