All stacks eventually turn to piles. Time will allow no stack to escape nature's gravitational inclination toward the shape of the pile. As we aim to build our stacks higher and higher in this society, they only become closer to toppling over into a disaster pile. Conversely, piles cannot be naturally destroyed, only redistributed. Flying an airplane into a pile doesn't change it from being a pile. You can't topple a pile. The only way to destroy a pile is to transform it into a stack, and as mentioned directly above, all stacks eventually dissolve into piles.
For these reasons the ideology that accompanies stack-based societies, as presented in this chapter, can be included under the umbrella of pile-based-thought. Essentially, anything can be compatible with pile-based-thought as it is all inclusive. This is what makes the phenomenon of stacks inside piles so artful – competing interactions exposed to ideological contractions. The counterargument is also true – that piles inside stacks represent an aesthetic wasteland of wandering disorder. The opportunity to locate pile and stack themes confront any philosophical observer wherever they may turn their attention. Aside from upcoming chapters in which we have attempted to diagnose certain societal features, a whole slew of fields may represent pile or stack-based ideologies. A few suggestions: differences and themes within transportation methods, furniture design, lingual dialects, or grocery shopping. Such process-based considerations yield cognitive realizations foreign to the material bounds of capitalism. Recognizing a system's all-or-nothingness and the previously unimaginable gray areas in between lays the foundation on which to begin pile migrations. |
