In Japanese, tariki is the name for choosing to be helped, seeking a higher authority to select you, move you forward, and endorse you. Tariki is the helpless kitten. Jiriki, alternatively, is self-selection, self-authorized art. Jiriki is the monkey who saves himself. The industrial economy insisted on tariki. It treated workers like kittens and abhorred anyone who would add innovation or individualism to the system. The connection economy opens the door for jiriki.
