On Horizontal or Vertical Connections

Three recent thoughts that in my mind either have metaphoric or metonymic relations. At their formation it is unclear as to where they fit together.

• that in William Gibson's most recent novel, SuperCannes, a society would become free by giving up moral responsibility
• that in Mark Andersen's All The Power: Revolution Without Allusion independence is not the highest political good, but interdependence is.
  
• that subjectivity is being erased from consciousness and who we are may not exist inside ourselves, but on the horizon could only be identified by what one does.
