Powerlessness
J: A post is not a book. A post in a blog is a way of agreement, an agreement to the programming of a social machine (partly programmed as a Turing Machine). A book (reading or writing) is a way of facing the power and the powerlessnes of subversion:
“There is no door for the blind.”*
and:
“God provides reading matter. He does not read.”**
