RE: Can we handle the full freedom and responsibility of anarchy? Not yet... but we can learn to!
Its difficult to solve the collective subconscious fear of assuming the dichotomy freedom-responsability
"Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility."
Sigmund Freud
An the unconscious fear of experiencing new things, that normally makes the massified man associate chaos with anarchy
"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones." - John Cage
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, there is a fear of the unknown. What is known, is comfortable, "Static" in a way. Unknown invites change, not static of the current condition that is known. The unknown is chaos, uncharted territory. I have done work on this as well.
Yes, we fear the responsibility of true freedom. That's why we have abdication of personal responsibility in our society through "representative government" hehe. You don't represent yourself in life, someone else does and decides what happens to so much of your life. It;s a good way to keep people dumbed down and not think more.
