Foucault and the BIP

[Brotep]

Great posts, Cain.

The main idea that struck me is freedom as an act--and specifically a temporary one.

It's a lot like the notion that mystical experience is a process (decentering, recentering, and grounding) in which one steps outside the boundaries and assumptions of one's society in order to taste something ineffable and then comes back with a new perspective, which one anchors into the fabric of one's culture even as one's understanding is transformed.
