Our attempt to give narrative to our life, ask us to apply reason to our decisions. This is classic economics. You make decisions based on clear desire – I guess they never read their Freud.
The ideological soup that nourishes our decisions, their histories and failures, fight to make logical conclusions, logical conclusions of their version of success. Veaganism, Capitalism, Environmentalism, Buddhism. –ism discourse is the way we apply reasoning. –ism discourse is not empirical (not that all claim to be, nor should be). –ism discourse has directed our everyday lives to the point that there are no original ideas (not that there need be).
Reasoning through –ism is reasoning with the self for meaning. Meaning for not necessarily higher meaning, but meaning, whay do I do the things I do, why why why why why.
We carry our ancestors in our breathe.
Familial ideology is an –ism. So is addiction. So is poetry. So is hate. So is love.
