Terry Elliott on 09 May 15I don't always feel that way. Sometimes I feel it is a guiding hand, but after two of these rhizo things I am beginning to think of it as a shving hand in a cattle chute. The chutes only appear down, but the binaries still suggest two paths: objective/subjective, content/no content, dave/no dave and whatever the hell the other one was. This is not rhizomatic teaching.

If Dave is the Gardener,then the way he weeds is to point to the weed and say, "Isn't that interesting?". Irresponsible? Unethical? Bait and switch? Not sure.

Of course it is the gardner who decides between the weeds and “flowers”, sets the parameters of the garden, and ultimately decides who lives and who dies – but that is my next blog post.

I agree that the gardener controls but I think it is illusory. Who plucks the gardener? Who tends the gardener? Who weeds the gardener? The gardener lives in a larger system that subsumes the garden, a larger Garden. The gardener thinks he is managing the complexity that is the garden. Fools paradise for a sock puppet?
