I might dislike this less if it wasn’t written as instructions.

I’ll be curious to see how folks that aren’t already on this page react to it.

Toni I do agree. If all the sentences in the imperative was written as questions, it would have resonates better with. (Basically, no one knows how to do all this. It's all in the open and something for us to find out. It might also take a generation to do so).

But I think the text is oriented to people who are looking for a way out of the desert called society, who think about how our world seems to disintegrate, and have a feeling that there might be something to do about it collectively. Just, what? This text proposes one way to proceed from that realization. It's really just a small symbol to hold on to while you begin walking down that path we might call becoming conscious being a revolutionary. Instructions/imperatives are good for that and better to hold on to.

Ben I’m not super interested in a world where instructions are better to hold on to, but to each their own I guess.


tout They are, however, extremely open instructions. More like proposals up for discussion to be used or not, but to give what we do together greater legibility to each other and others. We can hold onto them as long as they are useful and discard or improve upon them when they inhibit us. This would seem to be the intention of the authors.
