compartmentalisation is a common practice in organisations. it serves many purposes, all of which serves to allow control of people within the group. they are only told what they need to do thier job and no more. for the majority this causes little concern. people do thier job and go home to bed at the end of the day and start again tomorrow. the only time there is a problem is if the individual has to act independant of the organisation.
this is true in clubs, associations, leagues, teams, political parties, gangs, the police, the army and religions.
and in society in general.
you only need to know enough to do your job and then quietly retire................
but we are realising there is more.
so where do we go and what do we do?
keep asking questions my friends...........and pay attention to the answers.
here is a question i saw tonight.
what is more dangerous; a gun or a swimming pool?

Nice question! Not the gun/swimming pool one which is easily demolished, but the compartmentalisation one. Over here, everything seems to be organised by means of tick-boxes---(check-boxes in US). But it is not all bad news, as people's lively minds can address these questions in a more holistic sense, even though their work lives are meaningless and the sum total of human efforts in the material world does not add up to anything sensible.
te educational system is designed to condition you to accept compartmetalisation from day one. sign your name, fill in the details and go back to your cubicle.
problems?
just make more forms.........
forms are a map of bureaucratic reality. a wonderful device for control.
jst fill them out wrong. eventually you`ll get to speak to a human. then you have a better chance of getting what you want.
