Attempts to prohibit are not failures of intelligence but failures of systemic insight.

Prohibition becomes a generator — not a suppressor — of the phenomenon it targets. The system does not respond […]
At the heart of every persistent system is not a substance, but a difference. Field logic begins not with the assertion of identity, but with the recognition that systems cohere through asymmetry. Where classical logic privileges entities and relations, field logic turns to the geometry of tension: a system exists because its mappings do not […]
Ethical frameworks are those guiding principles within which we are free to make moral choices. The extent to which our choices align to the semantic intentions of any particular ethical framework is a definition and declaration of our adherence, conformity or alignment to it. Notice, however, that the majority of ethical frameworks we encounter do […]
This issue of Fake Brands and commercial “knock-offs” represents interesting problem. These clearly exist on a spectrum that begins with the dodgy Rolex bought from a street vendor and ends with potentially life-threatening fake medicines. Most solutions appear to be retrospective, reactive and post facto attempts to influence behaviour or punish those purposefully profiting from […]
I fear that the introduction of rules, prescriptive boundaries and frameworks will not inhibit the militarisation of this context so much as positively incentivise it, the culture and history of adversarial psychology being what it is.
