Some piece on spirogyra and patrick danin

Patrick Daneen in one of his talks mentioned  the affectious manner the term coerce the discourse

Interestingly from more leftist side you can see in the song Cogwheels churchs and cyanide by spirogyra a similliar critique

"Well the first man was a juggler
And his skill was very great
But he said that he was leaving
He said he couldn't wait

And the second came with jewels
That flickered on his hand
As he spoke about tomorrow
As if it were another land

But a lady caught between them
Said she should be free
And they just looked bewildered
And said "Yes, so should we"

Juggler as far as i understand here could be understood as investor who moves from project to project though never localize himself to a particular project

The rich man is, as far as i can see the symbol, as a capitalist in a more econmical function sense

And similliraly the lady is a proliteriat (i am not fully locked on the identification though as far as i can notice it still fall to a fairly orthodox marxist language)

Although interestingly  there is a slight nitzechean undertones if not "postmodern" in the popular sense.

This can be seen in the song structured as a story which the author lost control of seen mainly in the chorus

"How on Earth," yelled the author
"Does the tale make its sense?
It's alive with a truth
But we must have a proof
How can we open the door?" "

As well as similliar underlining of contra modernity notion

"Well the next man had religion
It made him very proud
He said he'd found his inner bliss
He said it very loud

But a group of men surpassed him
With science, skills, and speed
They hurled down his conceptions
And dug up all his weeds

The lady, she was worried
She asked if this was wise
"Of course it is
It's logic, brains, and enterprise!"

"

Though the differ is obviously lies in the answer seen in the last person of which the allusion is  i guess clear as someone who is free but because he found his own way

"
Well the last man had no number
And didn't say a word
He didn't even answer them
When they said he was absurd

They made him sign a treaty
To give up all he owned
And searched his pockets anxiously
To see if he had gold

The lady was enchanted
And said they ought to see
So they charged her with subversion
And made her watch TV
"

While Daneen would give a more traditionalist response with virtue ethics idolatry and such

Both formulate pretty popular opinions overall though it is always interesting to notice this particular gap affects
