The Power of Normal

Power is an unstable network that flows in all directions from every point at once./nWe all, whether we realize we're doing it or not, were all exerting our power over every one else around us every single day through constant surveillance, tural norms, advertisements, persuasion, suggestion, encouragement and discouragement of certain behaviours we approve or disapprove of./nPower in this way is credibly diffuse./nPower is not something that lies in the relationship between you and a king, or you and Donald Trump. No, in our modern societies, power is something that operates at all levels of society. Yes, at the level of public policy, that affects everyone, but at the same time, at an individual level, that only affects you./nPower dictates the narrow set of choices you have to navigate.
