Are you playing with all your marbles?

Are you playing with all your marbles?

    Image

"In a three player game, all players play either one or two sets of marbles each." The dynamics of this conversation belie: this is not dialogic chess, tis Chinese checkers, multi-podal. The first was the pyramid. Next was the standing of the pyramid on its head. This exposed the arbitrarity of authority: Star of David; the simultaneity of the order and the anti-order is the child-god. But a position is shadowed by negations, moves: "The Chinese Checkers board has 121 indentations arranged to form a six-pointed star much like a regular hexagram, with 10 such spots within each triangular star-point of the hexagram, and 61 within its hexagon", from one to two to three to six to twelve, and so on, numerology spreads epidemically, dialectic is viral. While there are twelve hours on a clock, this is a habit and not a necessary perception, time is infinite. ("This game does not originate from China or any part of Asia. Chinese Checkers is also not a variation of checkers. The game itself was invented in Germany in 1893 under the name “Stern-Halma”".cite)

I'm sorry, but this sucks.
How long do you think we can have a free and democratic society if we insist on maintaining totalitarian systems in our companies? We must have freedom for individuals and organizations to grow and to realize their potentials.
