coalesce

Procrustes: Greece's first serial killer has quite a legacy. He may have been killed by Theseus more than two thousand years ago, but the tradition he left of deliberately making people fit an unfair standard is alive and well.


I'm trying to simplify the concept of how a statistical universe of people not complying with the Procrustean bed model of interaction will change your world, so that I can turn it into a ritual for this Samhain's CMA. There has to be a way to break down the idea into smaller pieces that a layman can converse about, but only some of those I've already got. The translation effect I can make simple enough to put it into a ritual, but terms like "statistical universe" require explanation, and I don't want to write a ritual where I'm talking for half an hour. I always hate those, and other people will, too.
Meh.


I'm thinking of doing a daytime-hours class on it instead if I don't get the reductionism worked out by August.
