Culture
Apart from clocks & calendars, there’s another way to register Time/Nous/Whatever’s presence: Culture
But got stuck on one-fucking-word: Culture
It’s central to the MSC story, but what is it? What does it mean? Define your terms …
First there are different levels. You can talk about the Shin Boner Spirit culture at the North Melbourne Football Club - or a full-anthropological immersion into an indigenous buluo - you'll find a lot of difference - that difference is the beauty - but there will still be an arrangement of celebrated values & meaningful participation in both those communities that connects with its members. Culture is that connective stuff.
That's all great, but it led to thinking about Culture as a stand-alone Thing. It results in a pattern - a spectrum - a primary wave/particle influence - that all us humans experience. It's powerful as fuck ... So what is it - when it's stripped back to its core?
By the time i got through - well i didn’t get through - but four weeks later i realized i had 4-5 pages about Culture - which is fascinating - but it’s a different book, mate - we’re doing this one - on MSC's influence on NT indigenous people - we need one page max - otherwise it will block the flow of the story. Park it.
But …
Put it in bullet points if you have to - one page or less - on my desk by tomorrow)
