There is a stream that started some months ago
as the idea of escalating irresolubility. It’s the thought that one problem
might arise, and then it can be washed off without us even paying attention to
it, or escalate into levels of resolution until it is just unsolvable. Thinking
of it, it’s actually something pretty explored by humoristic scenes (I keep
thinking of Mr. Bean).
Some things we can get through just by standing
up against them even if not entirely active; a simple word of manifestation
shatters this brittle barrier. But the curve of irresolubility increases and we
are required to be more experienced and savvy in order to know of the tricky
ways to get through them. There are the goals that require more and more
knowledge of subtleties to go around all the specific combinations of buttons
to get past them. It’s equivalent to difficulty levels, where every problem
gets more and more complicated as more vertices are thrown in the mix and every
mistake weighs heavier.
The part where it gets tricky is when there is
no tolerance to every slight mistake we make. The wrong word, the wrong gesture
and you’re gone. It’s like in job interviews or when you’re with someone who is
hard to impress, and every move is being watched and judged. These would be at
the highest point of the curve, while there are people who allow us to make
mistakes, or in job interviews where imperfect runs aren’t all minutely
recorded.
Of course, this is about risk and reward. While
it’s no use having friends there at the top, some other objectives are worth
the effort. Also, it goes to everything, including my texts over here. There
are messages that require a mastery and subtlety for them to be really conveyed,
and for readers to get them, unlike other simple ideas that just need one rough
attempt at definition. And at the end of the day, these texts that require more
of me and that need the wisest choice of words is going to become a much more
remarkable piece of work.
