Another Pynchon theme manifesting again in the real world.

Anarchism. Pervasive as we know (and been written about).

Anarchism, not as any kind of policy or new government notion but
precisely as getting shit done *without* government, *outside of it. *

The natural way hundreds of thousands of simple citizens "self-organized"--
this is the key,-- like the deaf-mute dance under the bridge where everyone
dances together without bumping with no one having to direct the dancing--
like the search and rescue and help operation in Houston after Harvey.

Since a guy named Prince wrote about the "spontaneous groupings" of
volunteer
help after the Halifax explosion disaster , it has always been a part of
every disaster
since. They say.

Spontaneous groupings = self-organizing= equal apolitical, non-violent
anarchism in
the real world.
