and its naivety gets regretfully relabeled as "innovation".
Good observation. It gets blamed on globalism, liberalism,
post-modernism, capitalism, and a bunch of other things, but somehow
we got the wrong idea that all boundaries are bad. Boundaries must be
broken!
I think that came from the language of science and technology. We made
"Smashing barriers!" a synonym for progress. But it is a childish,
iconoclastic and directionless notion of "progress", for its own sake.
Psychologically at least, a lack of boundaries is a kind of madness,
it's disinhibited, intrusive, lacking self-control - and to the extent
there's a political theory of mind it leads to wars and internal
unrest.
We raised "connectedness" to supernatural hoodoo, but connectedness for
it's own sake is a catastrophe to systems. It violates the principles
of modularity, decoupling and appropriate cohesion.
