'Our cultural training holds that striving to achieve something “better,” as laudable while just allowing your life to be as it is, as lazy. This training says it is “right” to set goals for yourself based on cultural mores and beliefs and then you must achieve those goals. Most of the planet adheres to this paradigm.'

@theruran The question of "what is political" to someone who has this flawed conception of politics is much like the question of "on the body, where is the precise end of the neck and start of the head?"

You can point at a part and determine "that's definitely the neck" and point to another part and say "that's definitely the head" but you try and arrive at any precise definition of where one is and the other isn't and you run into problems.

The same is true of this flawed conception of "being political" You might ask someone "is a car political" and they might say "of course not" and then you ask them "is building a car political?" and they'll say, "no" and then you'll say "are wages political?" and they'll say yes, but then try to get them to determine whether being a worker who builds a car is political.

The answer comes when you accept that the question or the conception of the question is wrong.

The answer to "where is the border between the neck and the head" is "it's all a part of the same body.

Similarly, you can determine that the definition of what is political becomes very simple when you understand that the whole process of society is political.
