A person is responsible for his own hatting. Dept 1 is also responsible.

As lack of full hatting is the WHY of declining organization it is very important that persons be fully hatted.

The gradient is instant hatting, mini hatting and full hatting.

A person found on a post who is not fully hatted is liable to ethics action.

Awareness of the scene does not seem to exist in the absence of hatting. Thus unhatted persons look sort of blind.

For instance, an unhatted Dissem Div is completely unaware of no money, no students, no pcs.

It’s sort of strange. Mystery about the post seems to result in no perception of its environment. Mystery on post equals mystery of environment. You see this as a sort of frightened no confidence.

I think hatting even changes eyesight. We ought to test it out.

We already know that unhatted people get hurt more than hatted people. We know overts stem from misunderstoods. And we know running overts changes eyesight.

It then probably follows that unhatted people couldn’t see a tiger if it was biting them!

So, how to be mystified by it all and afraid — remain unhatted.

Get hatted and see.
