The public and the conferees
When you begin a thing, you might very well not know what you're getting yourself into. So, when I began to think about what our culture might be lacking, I had no idea that I would be pulled into a clash between the public and the conferees. But that is how things played out.
In the beginning there was the illusion of representation, that everything was directed according to the will of the people. I don't have a particularly high opinion of the people, and so my frustration with our culture seemed to be cast in concrete. I restrained myself to thinking about shaping free time activities, but then the conferees showed their disconnect by brazenly jeopardising the conditions on which the determination of public policies by the people, i.e. democracy, depends. That was in 2013-2014.
Naturally, I started to concern myself with an analysis of these conditions. It was a defensive move, just holding fast to the rudder in the currents of time. This critique did however align itself with a broader anti-conferee movement, which led to Brexit and the election of Donald Trump. I did not change my stance in the wake of these events, at least not immediately. But by late 2018 I felt that some influence had to be exerted in order to guide this movement. So I concerned myself with concrete stages that would allow the rebirth of political responsibility.
For, as the conferees are too brazen, the public is too naive - it cannot simply be let go off, it needs to first find itself in today's world. So, again I was holding fast to the rudder to stay clear of misfortune attached to the public's response to the conferee's brazenness. And since the conferees have elected to dismiss the correction to their course, and that is really the reason why I'm calling them such: Teachers come together for teachers' concerts, where one teacher plays the piano and other teachers applaud, proving to themselves how much they are deserving of appreciation, that is to say a conference is supposed to substitute its participants for the world, the time has come to start the self-finding process, although its first stage is simply to escape the theatre, breathe the fresh air and regain a clear head.
There is no doubt about this being the right step now. In theory it might stabilise things sufficiently to derail the vials of the wrath of God, though I don't believe that. But it's of no concern. If the vials continue, this step will have had its function, and if not likewise. Once more, it holds fast to the rudder in completely defensive fashion.
