<Cesar>Humans are said to be social animals. Would our social bonds be strong
enough to survive an open architecture?</Cesar>
<Kondo>Human beings are weak and you need protection, you need a small
group with whom you can be very frank and open, like family or friends, or local
community. Human beings are not strong enough to survive in a system made of
isolated individuals.</Kondo>
<Cesar>Is this saying humans beings are not strong enough to be free?</Cesar>
<Kondo>Sure. Freedom is always something we have been longing for, but if you
are in a total freedom, that will scare you. You can do whatever you would like to
do, you can get how much money you want, than you don’t know what to do of,
you are suddenly exposed to a totally open space, and you feel alone, very small,
tiny, without friends.</Kondo>
<Cesar>What is the reaction when a child looses his cues?</Cesar>
<Teodora>Screaming? (laughing)</Teodora>
<Cesar>When you take a child and throw them in the air, most are really hap-
py!</Cesar>
<Teodora>If you catch them! If you don’t... They need to be told it is good, it
may feel wrong but it is actually good. So the first time you don’t do it very well
(throwing in the air gesture), they will not like it the following times.<Teodora>
<Cesar>So being free has to be voluntary, or gradually introduced and ‘validated’
as ‘good’ by the ‘mother’ the authority figure. In other words if open architecture
is labelled as good, or you obtain it from your own will, you might appreciate it.
