Context

”Settledness”

After a short break , we keep going on with a new context. In my opinion, the concept of settledness is one of the weakest points of the system which is currently running our society.

Neither personal nor institutional, a settled structure provides a feature of tracking for a higher authority and guarantees a responsible person in case of an interrogation. All the registration codes you believe that you own are in fact just owning you, from credit card number to your citizenship number. This process is offering faster and more reliable services from the government with the help of your legal existence, which doesn’t seem to be accomplished in turkey.

When you think, it is all empty commitments.

What is your benefit except putting the lead on my neck?

I want to mention something about a book that i read in the beginning of this year as a suggestion of my friend umut, i thought it is relevant to this topic. American writer Hakim Bey’s mind opener book T.A.Z (Temporary Autonomous Zone) offers alternative solutions to the topic settledness. In his book he’s providing alternative solutions to the neccesity of being settled. If you’re interested here’s the direct link to T.A.Z. and here’s Hakim Bey’s the other works.
