following up on the excerpt taken from Joanne Richardson on subsol :

“It is naïve to invoke a rhizomatic mode of organization as a means of contestation and as an alternative to global capitalism since it has become what they have in common rather than what holds them apart.”

I would add that I do believe it happens at the level of consciousness of individuals and systems , and that choices can be made.

The rhizome may be everywhere , and connect everything , but we may navigate on it using different kinds of consciousness.

I see notably to main directions :

1 – a consciousness of ” creative processes ” … that goes towards greater unconditionality , contemplation and understanding , inclusiveness through transparency – towards holopticism ,
and through such kind of attributes ,
further self organization
as such a consciousness , I believe , further opens up potential for ( shared ) inspiration , opening of trust / channels , and through the opening of such opportunities : action towards a shared intention , and open contemplation and understanding over such processes which may further lead to inspiration , … ;

2 – or a consciousness that is specifically addicted and goes towards specific need for control and conditionality , panoptic retention of information and lack of transparency – artificially created scarcity , … and which for its survival is dependent on taking control over ” creative processes “.

Each of these attributes can be visualized at various levels of abstraction.

The ” specific need for control ” / ” addicted ” type of consciousness , when it looses control on what feeds it , needs to be more aggressive to maintain control on it.

While the creative consciousness can open up to other channels more easily , and open up detachment through contemplation of what it can not have control over at the moment.

A creative process , following my own experiences ,
when it is at a level of abstraction that is not lost/contained within a limited specific control awareness/consciousness ,

but be at a greater level of abstraction/detachment then a certain specific need for control consciousness approach related to a certain situation and structure ,

can use its detachment to reverse the flow of the addiction and de-crystallize the specific need for control.

The same can happen if a specific need for control consciousness with greater abstraction is applied to a creative process contained within it – it might tend to crystallize it , until it dies out , unless enough energy can be exploited from other resources to feed it coming from lower abstractions.

Today , it is interesting to see what is happening in our economies.
It seems that many creative processes are being trapped within the conditionality of a greater abstraction of conditionality that rests , for example , in the currency system – a debt based currency with interest , which leads to further increased debt to sustain itself.

Understanding , not necessarily the experience in itself , but the different characteristics , at all levels , that lead to one type of consciousness or another , will be , I believe , important in maintaining and developing a increasingly complex system that would be sustainable.
