I think one of the basic dynamics being seriously overlooked, are feedback loops.

That if something works, it is repeated and refined. Then it becomes status quo, then doctrine, then a box that becomes ever more confining, until something breaks it. Either because it simply falls apart and the various elements go separate ways, or a new system takes over. Though any single system tends to be an offspring of the original system and so more of a reset, than truly new and different.

As such, it is like growing up and building a life, that then tends to fall into habits, etc. The anarchies of desire crashing up against the tyrannies of judgement.

The confusion is that we tend to apply a linear/time/history model, when the larger reality is more thermodynamic, cycles of expansion and consolidation.

I try raising the issue of time on Medium frequently. That as mobile organisms, this sentient interface our body has with its situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so this flow of time, from past to future is foundational to how we perceive reality, yet the evident reality is that activity and the resulting change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Cause becomes effect.

It's like a tapestry being woven of strands pulled from what was woven.

So these circular feedback loops, building up and breaking down, are far more fundamental to how reality operates, than this linear flow of time. Yet it seems too far outside of the boxes most people live in, to really get much feedback

Though I like to imagine it will be one of those conceptual breakthroughs, that does open people's minds up to a deeper understanding and appreciation of reality.

Especially given our tendency to get caught up in these negative feedback loops and go spiraling into the various echo chambers, political factions, belief systems, etc. Rather than seeing them as nodes in the larger networking.
