The inbetween space

The inbetween space is analogous to a middle path. But it doesn’t have to be in the middle. I mean the middle parth as in Buddhism or Aristoteleanism. The middle path is in a sene an inbetween space. So is the transdisciplinary. The liminal. The border. The boundary. The boundary between walls is an inbetween space. An inbetween space between communism and capitalism is the mixed economy. An inbetween space between rudeness and people pleasing is appropriateness. (People pleasing is pleasing others in a way that is at least not appropriate for yourself. Probably not appropriate for the other either.) One can’t always behave appropriately, and one disagrees with oneself sometimes about what as appropriate, as with others. Social ideals about what is appropriate in some sectors of their variation change from decade to decade. Mostache one decade, not the other. Appropriateness is something far more than only a space—a point—between people pleasing and rudeness. It is what fits. Sometimes what fits does not go into the middle (depending on the system used). Sometimes not driving at the speed limit is appropriate. Somtimes it is. Consciousness about inbetween spaces can make society run much smoother. Less pretend games among humans. More of “hey, we all have these weird inbetween spaces in our lives.”

The bad moderator

The bad moderator will get annoyed—analogous to a person who will act non-porfessionally. Moderating is usually not paid work, but still some of the same ethics apply.
