Figuring It Out

I guess I feel like there’s this thing where you kind of figure okay

let’s get together to see how we can figure it out

let’s get together to see how we can work it out

let’s get together to see how we can get out of this

and we’re interested in the moment at which this kind of weird inkling or transformation might begin to occur in which you realize that what we’ve been trying to figure out how to get to is how we are when we get together to try to figure it out.

I’m saying when we get to figure when we get together to figure it out we are doing something.

now the question is how do we extend that

how do we defend it how do we protect it right how do we value it, and if not value it, how do we understand what that is okay

cuz my my sense of it is that when we’re trying to figure it out they just don’t seem to like it very much but we just get together, you know

at the same time that they don’t like it they love it they want to eat it they want to steal it and keep it and lock it up and sell it and cut it up into pieces and replicate so like I said they can’t live with it they can’t live without it

we can live with it we can’t live without it .
