Total disambiguation is the ‘perfect storm’ of modernity, in that it excludes ambiguity — which is the lifeblood of eros, intelligence, creativity… and improvisation.

That ambiguity can be understood as a contribution from undifferentiated potential… it comprises the analog of the ‘oxygen in the room’ of intimate relationships.

The freedom to play, imagine, create, and interpret crucial aspects of relational communication such as role and intention.

There’s a difference between ‘total honesty’ (perfect disambiguation) and the »possibility of integrity in relationships.

To confuse the former with the latter is the imprimatur of modern (public) identity politics.

But when this pathology invades our »personal lives… especially in the guise of ‘normalizing or authorizing’ communications behavior… we are in the shadow of a demon pretending to some form of heroism its actual enaction would most often comprise the opposite of.
