Destroy the arrangement, keep what still works
Several newly separated currents meet here: radical institutional refusal, iatrogeny, anti-academia, anti-waste, practical competence and recipient agency. Their combination is more specific than generic anti-authoritarianism.
A system can be rejected without rejecting every skill, tool, building, archive or human capacity contained inside it. A credential can be distrusted without distrusting learning. Medicine can be criticized as an institution without denying pain or physiology. A damaged object can lose its assigned purpose without losing all possible use.
Routes
- Dismantle, Collapse, Reimagine — the severity of the institutional position.
- Medicine, Iatrogeny & Medical Authority — systems can manufacture harms.
- Psychiatry / “Mental Health” Skepticism — experience and institutional ontology are not the same thing.
- Anti-Academia & the Autodidact — knowledge without permission.
- Mottainai, Waste & Second Lives — hatred of needless disposal.
- Garment as Medium — material use, repair, style and commerce in one object.
- Hypersincerity / Induction — the recipient is meant to do something with what survives.
Not a master key
The page does not claim that every JQD work can be explained by institutional demolition and salvage. It exists because the combination clarifies a recurrent practical disposition that older wiki language tended to sand down into vague “institutional alternatives.”
