Hello/Why do we study: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

We live at risk, each and all in a condition of substantial ignorance. The affordances of culture, which provide us with a precarious agency in life, adjust and re-calibrate as the scale of complexity actually at work in the encompassing lifeworld ratchets up.

This emergent complexity does simply add to culture a new layer of sensitivity and skill as a tree adds a new ring of growth to its trunk. Rather the significance and use of all the parts of the culture change with unannounced actuality. We perceive the cultural dislocation taking place through the discernible wobbles, but we feel it in our inner sense of life as an intensifying doubt, both tacit and explicit, that we are condemned to live our lives without meaningful agency, isolated ~~specs~~ of awareness buffeted into incessant motion by forces independent of our will.

Recognizing that, how should we make wise choices? That's the question we can and should examine, each personally and together, in common. That's why we study, and to facilitate that purpose, we construct a place to study.
