I was checking out at Publix this past weekend and eyeballed the romaine hearts I picked out one last time before they got scanned.
“Are they OK?” asked a cheerful and freckled cashier.
“Me neither!” I responded. It’s true! I’m not.
(This relates to my posts on Information Symmetry, Proprietism and Employee Rights, and Proprietism: The “Paleo” System).
And so began a 24-hour period in which my own ideas about proprietism confronted me in strange ways.
Perhaps my mind opened up and I subconsciously went about my weekend looking for proprietism. Sometimes this can happen to me when I’m pondering a post; usually I develop a theme in my head and hone my thoughts before typing it out. Maybe because I had been unusually busy at work and buying a home, I lacked the focus to develop a solid thesis and instead got stuck in inspiration mode.
‘But every human institution that I can think of, from political to business, even down to marriage, is governed by this kind of thinking; it is the web of our social fabric,’ Mack asserted.
‘Such a waste!’ said Papa, picking up the empty dish and heading for the kitchen.
More than anything, I’m content to know that Mr. Emerson would have been proud of me.
