I ended last Friday’s post, “We need a form of alchemy in order to develop the hypotheses we need. I think one of the crafts of a New Artisan is creating containers that hold these conversations.”

Many people enjoy cruise liners. I don’t; for me, they represent an additional layer of Danté’s hell. Being stuck in a mass of people, taken where somebody else has decided, without meaningful input and unable to escape whilst being harvested for money.

A cruise liner is a container, rather like the corporate entities that own them. What I’d like to explore a little today is an idea of the type of containers Artisans might use in pursuit of freedom.
