hermetically open

What is my relationship with rules?

For here was the headquarters of no common man — no less than a real pirate — of Captain Lafitte, who not only robbed his neighbors, but defended them against invasion.
The barrier between divine and human things is frail but inviolable; the artist and the bourgeois are only divided by a point of view. “A hair divides the false and true.”

It's a matter of cybernetics I suppose. The kubernētēs, the steering of the ship. Using or abusing the wind? Is it possible to be interested in control and not be a dick? What would an autocybernetic assessment reveal? Of a person or a group? Who decides to perform an autocybernetopsy?

But if you have it not, this will be the best way to get it — or something like it. Give up your life completely to the task; sit daily for six hours in the Old Absinthe House, and sip the icy opal; endure till all things change insensibly before your eyes, you changing with them; till you become as gods, knowing good and evil, and this also — that they are not two but one.
