The Strange Ability to Not Be

I keep coming back to this subject, that no one else is interested in. Because it seems to me, to be so fundamental.

It is true, however, that no one else is interested in it. And I have to ask myself "Why?"I am reading
How Brexit Broke Up Britain, and was struck by this passage in it:
The real agenda of the Hard Brexiteers is not, in this sense, about taking back control; it is about letting go of control. For people like Dominic Raab, the Brexit secretary, the dream is not of a change in which regulation happens, but of a completion of the deregulating neoliberal project set in motion by Margaret Thatcher in 1979. The Brexit fantasy is of an “open” and “global” Britain, unshackled from EU regulation, that can lower its environmental, health, and labor standards and unleash a new golden age of buccaneering hyper-capitalism.

I like that final phrase buccaneering hyper-capitalism, because this says so much in so few words. And because it is one result of not being. If people do not exist, they cannot be blamed for anything that happens, because of their negligence. 

Not being produces a host of undesirable results. For example - these people cannot see anything wrong with being bad. In fact, they rather like the idea, because it lets them get more.
