If you think about it, law and statehood (and consequently monetary policy) is how violence is frozen into a stable, sustainable order

First it is Kinetic Violence which gets transmuted into Potential Violence

I'd argue that there's always Potential Violence irrespective of law and statehood. 

Kinetic Violence is usually a survival strategy - arising from fear of losing ones own life and/or dignity. 

If we are in a systems transition (i think we are), the question is how to distribute dignity and the capacity to hold Potential Violence without allowing fear to transmute it into Kinetic Violence, whilst things are uncertain(fear-inducing).

Voices of resolute and grounded respect for life and the capacity for violence only when needed, seem important to me. I'm not going to surrender to the idea that all out Kinetic Violence is inevitable. 

Humans are both the same and different than they have been before. 

What do you think?
