Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding
danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a
thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter
safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the
policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into
his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound
to become a slave.

The hens they all cackle, the roosters all beg,
But I will not hatch, I will not hatch.
For I hear all the talk of pollution and war
As the people all shout and the airplane roar,
So I'm staying in here where it's safe and it's warm,
And I WILL NOT HATCH!

Society, community, family are all conserving institutions. They try to maintain stability, and to prevent, or at least to
slow down, change. But the organization of the post-capitalist society of organizations is a destabilizer. Because its
function is to put knowledge to work -- on tools, processes, and products; on work; on knowledge itself -- it must be
organized for constant change.
