the planner
the doer
the doer is basically always correct.
but the planner (a) keeps the doer sane, and on-target; (b) has good ideas! it's good to look at things in their entirety, from afar, with fresh eyes, all of that all of that
but the doer has to do them
and--if you believe in this stuff the way I do at all--that is definitionally what the thing is. not everyone does, but imho that's why we get "idea of story" type stories and not stories
because the doers were for whatever reason subservient to the planner (which, of course, can be part of themselves)
obviously a lot of this, in our society right now, means capitalism.
but the basic dichotomy isn't limited to that
nor are its tensions
or the respective strengths and demerits of these two things in creation
