zero sum winter
THE SNOW DOES A GOOD JOB. The city is covered. The freedom to move has been minimized. They closed many things before this even started. It is winter after all. The snow adds a democratizing process. It covers and then hinders. In this pervasiveness it is beautiful. It covers the brownstone and the vertical ‘lift’ of the trees. No wind. The sound of cars struggling through the streets makes a pervasive hiss. The shovels scrape, as homeowners are out early.
Between the ‘vectors’ of what you are told you could expect…from your parents, from your friends, from your intimates, from your spouse, from your job, from your bank, from your doctor, your undertaker...from all of the knowledge that you can pick up in-between you also maintain a degree of skepticism. What if they are lying? Are the fundamental motivations of the modern business all about zero sum relations of taking from one source and allocating to another?
