You have found the boundaries of the box, and anything you find outside the box will be judged against everything inside the box. There are a lot of people inside the box, and the box is small, so they make a lot of noise. When you get outside of the box you need to also get away from the box so that you can't hear the judging.
- wool_gather 8y agoWow, very nicely put. > ...also get away from [the people in] the box... This may be the harder part. I consider some of the people in the box to be friends. But then again, if I think about it... maybe they're outside the box too, but we're on opposite faces, and so close to it that we are still looking at each other _through_ the box.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoInterestingly put. Sounds poetic. So here I am, with the map of the boundaries of the box finally taking shape. Now the question is, how do I exit the box? I'd like to walk around on the outside and check it out. Also, is leaving this box even a good idea? What if everyone left the box at the same time? Would the world collapse then? (I can't help myself, I tend to be interested in the global view as well.)
- exikyut 8y agoWell, that's where universal basic income has some validity. It's a very nice idea. It does have the potential to create localized unimpressedness though; the question is how powerful the temporarily-put-out groups would be, and whether the backlash would remove your power as well. Money is power, laterally too.
