Institutionalization enables collective work while codification imposes a false orthodoxy

Evidence

Reality is not, as Americans are so quick to make it, a form of private property or a matter of taste. It is not the eternal given either, merely awaiting accurate representation in the individual mind once that mind is emptied of history and tradition, or the veil of false consciousness is lifted, or a better technology of communication perfected. Reality is a product of work and action, collective and associated work and action. It is formed and sustained, repaired and trans- formed, worshiped and celebrated in the ordinary business of living. — James W.
