It appears that everyone is being pulled deeper and deeper into an authoritarian, totalitarian system. This is a natural tendency which is likely predicated on a few different factors:

1. The finite nature of biological systems, as we know them
2. The self reflection of human
3. The tendency for systems to become self corrective as they increase in size

The biological systems finitude is, in a sense, the plight of humankind. To be aware of mortal limitations and to seek to overcome them. In order to construct a complete world unto oneself, one must apply an unimaginable amount and extent of detail which is simply unattainable. Furthermore, to seek to apply these things is unreasonable and, perhaps, even maddening. As the human system is fundamentally composed of biological systems to which we are able to study, it might seem likely that tasks of unimaginable complexity which are extremely difficult to make sense of can lead one to distress, or even insanity.

Having faith in a system which is expected to care for the sick and, in turn, yourself if ever the need arises, is in a sense a belief in immortality. To place faith in, for example, the system's capacity to treat disease, without having to have witnessed it and without having to completely visualize every detail of the journey and experience.

We just want them to be performing at all, so that we know that there's a bare minimum? That doesn't sound right, surely any good educator understands that you don't get good work out of people if you give them the minimum of standards and, particularly in this case, the minimum of demands. Students not having to take certain exams or entry tests, not having to live up to previously agreed upon contracts. It 

### Broken contracts

We sometimes go through a phase where a new concept is applied and the result is a method to attempt and produce a partocular result. This might be limited to certain types of interactions but certainly, for example, in interactions where an expectaiton is made and a range of performance is possible, if one finds a way to remove particularly stringent standards, then even by having experienced the reduction, and in spite of any reason for wishing to avoid it (avoid ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
