SALTARAE (oddly)

[zzambrosius_02]

Tonight at Sam Bond's I wound up in a long conversation with a woman who is part of Community Village at the Country Fair. She tried to get several different people to advise her about internal politics in the Village. Every one else was like: "back away from the politics". How weird is it that after listening to her for 45 minutes and making some (rejected for good reasons) suggestions, I suddenly saw through the situation clearly? The whole argument is not about consensus, but about who is the executive. Apparently committees and councils have been taking decisions that could and should have gone to the assembly. I was able to apply anarchist theory and use historical examples and blah blah blah. Maybe she can use that to become more effective in advocating for her positions.

Moreover, since I am now writing a story that takes place at least in part at the Fair, I have a potentially interesting conversation to put into Mr. Rothakis' experience. Woo hoo.

I find it fascinating how the universe seems to give us useful information all the time
