@St_Rev @lorearask@simplic10 So problem-solving investigation is often ritualized, and the solutions are also? Instinct encourages ritual? -
@blue_traveler @lorearask@simplic10 No. Ritual is a substitute for problem-solving investigation. -
@St_Rev Ahhh, okay; I see -
@blue_traveler Crucial point: https://twitter.com/St_Rev/status/537645088147795969 … We don't know how to "fix" racism; this *enables* nutty, destructive 'activism'. -

@St_Rev this last seems to describe a different, similarly confounding problem -
@blue_traveler It's the same issue in my head, but communication is imperfect. Lots of RTs for https://twitter.com/St_Rev/status/537644895637618688 … w/o the followups. -
@blue_traveler But the followup tweets are the actual point! Without them, the first tweet is just vacant reactionary bitching. - 3 more replies
