      ackshually moving away from possessive language weakens the sacred bond between master and pupil and renders a ritual timeworn relationship archetype sterile and bureaucratic https://twitter.com/BMatB/status/1207554144174854144 …

      Relationship archetypes are Actually Good Even when it's an asymmetric relationship Especially then, probably These seem to have been almost wholly dissolved. Only the parent/child bond struggles on Barely Here are some fun examples

      1. Master/pupil. Old varient: master taught the pupil daily; was involved and invested in his/her success; pupil worked in master's lab/atelier/whatever, shared meals with master, given parting gifts at graduation Today: relationships are passing, regulated, superficial

      When TAships were being handed out my first year as a PhD student, the grad director got us together and warned us that we should put exactly as much time into teaching as would let us get student ratings sufficient to get funding next quarter. Anything more was career suicide.

          While general trends in society probably have not helped this /thinning/ of student-teacher relationships was probably a natural response to the decline of informal moral codes in the face of Administration and lawsuits I think about this essay a lot http://laurakipnis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Sexual-Paranoia-Strikes-Academe.pdf …

          2. Child relationships with nonparental adults generally. Older people may be able to confirm that these were once common. Coaches, ministers, aunts and uncles, teachers, scoutmasters, neighbors; others?

          Today: kids have thick relationships with their parents and that's about it. Kids don't have freedom of movement until they get a car (and even that's rarer). Multigenerational homes are gone Every formal organization is paranoid about lawsuits

          3. Guest/host. This is super dead in formal terms (although having spent time hosting travelers this year I assure you it is powerful!) In any case you can view the Greek model as a template for a form of social bonding that we might have hadhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenia_(Greek) …

          Anyway I am thinking now that relationships with /people/ have been quite generally replaced by relationships with /institutions/ Which frankly is a pretty rotten trade-off

          Legal status aside institutions are not human they are entirely alien And they don't give a fuck about you except inasmuch as you benefit them And you don't mean anything to them Think an institution is gonna come to your funeral?

          This seems like a satisficing pressure problem that exists to some degree in any industry where you look closely these days... optics > substance. Always has been so or is this new??
