[MD] Is thoroughly dynamic terrifying?

[David M]

Hi DMB

Good point. The quest for security and certainty is of course ultimately 
hopeless.
But perhaps something worthwhile can be done, even if fleetingly, is not
fleetingly better than never?

I wonder how many of us here would say we live in a truly dynamic universe 
and that therefore it an extremely dangerous place to be?

dmb says:
I'd say fear is what makes people too static so it does seem that being open 
to the dynamic requires some kind of courage. Or maybe its better to say 
that dynamism takes more effort, more energy, more wakefulness. I think its 
a sad, sad thing to be terrorized by dynamism. One who clings to static 
forms out of fear is the victim of some kind of murder. That's a guy who 
doesn't own himself and is thoroughly unfree, no?

Plus fear makes people stupid and compliant. Check out Naomi Klein's "The 
Shock Doctrine" or Naomi Wolf's "The End of America". Fear is disasterous.
