The Awareness of Personal Sustainability④

To sum up, over the entities of social, economic, political context, sustainability is one of approaches to diminish the negative impact of limited sources and controlling the energy that is not protected by the ways such as renewable sources.

Those rules of Burning Man just seem the great principles but I personally advocate that the will of individuals supporting this event would be better to be intrinsically gained by voluntary action in which is for satisfying the desire to know something while others believe that the concrete rules will make the people behave ideally. If someone considers those rules as a the system approach, that might not be an entity of that we will discuss about what they are, and is not the way to gain the value of art events. So, an organization must separate the perception whether those rules will encourage the people's voluntary action for personal development or govern a certain areas. Of course, Burning Man, that is, must be considered as a former case. For instance, Sustainable Development Goal might be categorized as a latter case like a quality management system. The players know how the assessment will be implemented and what kind of targets they have. Also, it is likely to the collective action because the players can assure the liability of the organization which generally has the honored history like United Nation. However, the case of Burning Man still does not make clear what kind of the outcome will be done beyond these rules. After the watching a movie, the descriptions are diverse along the tendency of the people. The proposal of the disciplines of Burning Man can be obscure like above case and does not have to demystify the reasons of those. In this case, the founder of the event would be better to share his or her vision with the audience. The vision making gradually signifies how much generous this event is and also has appeared in the business settings. Lean start up is the process to approach the exploration of business development. The first thing the players are going to do is vision making. What is the business, how do they implement, and our business for whom? Those are the vision making in the context of the Lean start up process. It looks like the management system but the vision making has not been endorsed by scientific proof.

This kind of abstract scene such as the Woodstock Festival also makes us remember the radical actions. So, some people that have been in libertarianism think those as a weird event with the negatives and hesitate to think it as positive one. However, while their dreams are not harmful for other people that have different one, those rules work as just the great one.

持続可能性社会の実現に向けたアプローチというのは社会という曖昧なものを部門横断的に捉え、それぞれの要素に向けて同時的に手段を講じる事と同義と言え、最終的な目的としては例えばエネルギーのように極めて不安定視される要素について計画的な消費を促す事にもある。

バーニングマンで設定されている複数のルールはこのイベントのユニークさを支える非常に素晴らしいものである事は疑いようが無い。が、しかしこれを我々が統治するシステムのように解釈する事には異論がある。何故ならシステムというのはそもそもその設立目的が明確であり、期待する成果や対象は誤解も曲解も起こらないような考察がなされているのに引き換え、バーニングマンで説明されるこれらのルールはそれを遵守した場合の成果について明確なステートメントが無い。そこにはビジョンというこれまた曖昧なものを主催者と観衆が共有しているに過ぎず、しかしこのビジョンの共有は功利的、実利的な関係で行われていない事がこのイベントの持つ力強さを説明する材料になるだろう。しかしながらビジョンメイキングは昨今ビジネスシーンでも注目されている。例えばリーンスタートアップという新しい事業を開拓する為の手法に於いて一番最初に参加者が行うのはビジョンメイキングである。どんなビジネスをどのように展開し、それは誰の為であるかという問いを明確にするがしかしこれらのビジョンは科学的な裏付けを必要としない。この曖昧さがウッドストックフェスティバルが取り組みとして賞賛に値するものの結果を評価できない気持ち悪さにも似たような印象をもたらすのかと考える。これは新自由主義のような思想まで原理としての資本主義が進化している社会では尚の事、バーニングマンや持続可能性社会の実現に向けた取り組みがどこかこうラディカルで最終的には暴力的な側面を持つ事を避けられないような誤謬を産む事は否定できない。しかしながら、統治するシステムとこれらを対比して区別を可能にした本稿については一旦の満足できる結果であると考えている。
