One might say that we drink our words.  The threat of the casual drives our cultural template of behaviours (the ‘casual drive’).  It is a self-fulfilling prophecy.  Once we begin to ponder the act of casual, it is no longer casual.  The casual realm cannot remain fixed because to think it is to destabilise it.  It exists on the edge of a field of thinking without knowing (or knowing without thinking).  Casual’s responsibility (forgetting vs. learning) is precarious.  It is always in flux (and it is always in the driving seat).  When we fall, we fall (down and up).
