I should have put dialectic in “scare” quotes, usually when I use the word I add that it can be some type of Vahalla where the dead rise again on the morrow to struggle again, Hegel/Marx synthesis or not, but here I was just using it to mean discourse as in arguing, chewing the fat and reckless gossip. I.E. More like how Peter L. Berger uses it (his influence is quite big on us really). I think the Greek used it as a genre of discourse and not so much a structure of life, so both more specific, but not then overlaid over everything.

the urge to should is an urge to world, which is mostly a communication thing, a feeling for must-say-something

What i like about Douglas ideas is that it allow one to see what we say/do/prefer and should on others relates to our perception of risk, which is a measure we can use in reflexively looking at our own positions among others, which ideologues never do…

—the center cannot hold?

the world is the center and is always there when we don't ‘dialectic’ it all away in Vahalla, I think Douglas' mappings, as she says in Missing Persons at the end, allows for others when we place ourselves in the the world thereon therein thereof

remaining silent is not selected for in our evolution
