Business as usual

There is great familiarity in the world about business and big business deals. Everyone wants a bite. Everyone wants be doing a deal where they can make millions in minutes. Is it a time thing? Or a survival thing? Maybe a lassitude thing. Either way, most will never experience it. Some will. But the fact of the matter is that it is an offering of civilization.

Business is an exacting institution of society. It demands more than most people have to offer. They become employees and once they’ve settled in they become part of the machine.

The true big business deal is executed by those with influence and power. And because they’ve overcome fear of defeat they run the world. While these people make a living and employ others, they are all subject to the same machine: economics.

What does economics know of the desert? A place that needs no money and no workforce to survive? When a human enters the desolation of the wild what happens? Is there a need to provide a report to the employer? Who is the employer? How does economics affect this place, this human interaction with the desert places of the earth?

There is no tie between the two. When a man steps away from business as usual and enters the wild he becomes something entirely distinct; he becomes a man, no longer a subject. This is the path that has no name and it exists solely to bring men from the machine of civilization to the humanity of the wild.
