Date: 2007-09-27 04:54 pm (UTC)In last week's column I was saying that adventurousness in one aspect of my life (say music listening and writing) was dependent on conventionality in others, and here I'm saying that there are patterns of conventionality even in the adventurousness.
(Stream-of-consciousness thought: by denying people welfare and guaranteed health care and a social safety net in general, you may goad some people into taking the risks and learning new skills that will get them a livable income, so they don't hang around in manageable poverty; but by providing welfare and a social safety net you may give some people the security to take innovative and creative risks that might get them fired.)
