[Sober Musicians: Treating Life Well] Unintentional Consequences: Merton (1936) spoke of the "unanticipated consequences" of "purposive social action", emphasizing that his term "purposive action… [is exclusively] concerned with 'conduct' as distinct from 'behavior.' That is, with action that involves motives and consequently a choice between various alternatives" (p.895). This dynamic of unintended consequences can also be summed up in the saying, "be careful what you ask for, because you might get it." The point being that what you ask for, once received may contain different effects than you previously anticipated.

We all feel entitled to an opinion in this democratic age. Like the taxi driver, we do not realise that we cannot think. We all feel that our opinion on - for example - evolution is as valid as the next person, even if the next person is a geneticist or an anthropologist or a palaeontologist and we aren’t. In fairness, the failure is in our education system where people are encouraged to ”˜think for themselves’ without being taught how to think critically or being given the basic tools of analysis. This is the downside of democracy. We dumb down to our lowest common denominator. I am not going to argue against democracy: as Amyarta Sen points out, it is the only demonstrable safeguard against famine for a start. [”¦]
[Whatever - the blog] Recession? Welcome to the slow crash: Recently, in Whistler, BC, there was talk of trying to set up a ski train to get rich tourists from the Vancouver airport to the ski slopes in a more environmentally sound fashion than thousands of SUVs racing up Highway 99 (which is an occasionally treachourous mountain road that claims many lives each year). However, the mere fact that a train wasn’t fast enough to satisfy the needs of people meant there was to be no further discussion of creating an alternative to single car transporation.
