[Main Blog Post] A Few Thoughts on Slack

If you've ever bumped up against the Church of the Subgenius, then you know "slack." I give my own take on what it means to me in my latest post.

Lots to think about there. And I just saw this in Charles Eisenstein’s latest which made me think about what the connection might be between slack and wuwei:
‘One of the things that's so non dual and paradoxical about Taoism is “wuwei,” which technically means unforced action for anyone who's listening to this. The whole idea of action, to me, is so hard to disambiguate from force. It feels I have to bring my will in order to do something.’

Eisenstein's new on on creating creating culture is a good one!

I like what you both are seeing here too, about slack and tamanous. It takes time out of the schedule to go on a vision quest. A person looking for themselves needs some slack for reflection.

That last sentence makes me think of the injunction to become one with god for some reason
