Another Crazy Thought
Peter Schultz
I recently contrasted the madhouse paradigm with the
slaughterhouse paradigm. But what if they are actually joined together? Those
who fail to recognize the madhouse that is politics end up creating
slaughterhouses in their attempts to bring order into the madhouse. This is something the Realists, the Power Brokers, the Masters of the Universe, don’t
understand.
(And this was why Kesey disowned the movie version of his book “One Flew Over
the Cuckoos Nest:” the movie humanized the Big Nurse. The book did not.)
Trump’s moves in DC will become increasingly oppressive as he attempts to bring
order to the madhouse of DC life.
A significant delusion: that life is intrinsically orderly or that order is
“the default” setting for humans and so it’s possible, even somewhat easy, to
“restore” order. Not so much. All order is imposed, so all order(s) is/are
precarious, intrinsically so. Beware the slaughterhouses.
