I'm thinking of all those who keep saying that we need to talk "their" language, the language of economists, that we need to measure the "impact of culture" to justify "investment" in it. And I'm starting to think that maybe the "we" who feel the need to talk like that, don't do it because they have to but because they don't have any other vocabulary, because it's difficult to unleash this creativity, to be different, to behave oddly, because it's hard work to imagine something else.
