Form and Unity

So salient are themes of form and unity in the modern setting, that by going unmentioned in so many connected discussions, highlight the acceptance which with they've been treated.

The repetitive discussion of "culture wars" within bounds of the "left/right:liberal/conservative debate" is just such a discussion, "clumsily" standing in for "deeper" conversations about the proliferation of form.

Latent trends of market and technological growth are responsible for much of the differentiation we are seeing. This shift has been widely been interpreted as a movement in the opposite direction. Yet, the market is implicitly based upon differentiation -- with technology but a tool of the market.

: how big could the market be if demands were simple? What if my desires could become reduced to food, shelter, and companionship. Furthermore, as scholars of command economies could confirm, the failure of the command economy is due to (besides the technological challenge of adjusting industrialized agriculture with differentiated growing conditions) the inability to create the many differentiated intermediate inputs going into modern scale economies.
