Yang, dear.
Yes, my lovely Yin.
Why do you map Game Theory
onto eco-feminist political territory?
It comes across as either just confusing
or, even worse,
vaguely sexist.
Really!
How sexist?
Well, you seem to associate competitive ZeroSum Win or Lose
with strong aggressive patriarchal effectiveness
for defending safety and conserving health
Rational strategic choices for the real guts
of our ego- and anthro- and national-competitive survival;
while Yin is more of the nurturing optimistic Mom
who has her matriarchal place in a Win and Win domestic economy,
but speaking smiling nurture to authoritative competitive power
sounds like patriarchally dominant Business As SexistUsual
to me.
I can see that,
but it does miss my more encompassing Yang/Yin
Win and Win nondualist intent.
No Yang,
not if you replace our Patriarchy or Matriarchy
politically polarized territory
for a Yang and Yin
Win and Win map
Each contrasting side
co-arising respectively
as Original Cause
and Original CoPassionate Effect.
I’m not sure I can explain
why I see EcoFeminist Game Theory
as nonzero-sum optimizing Win and Win
and why that, in turn,
unveils nature+nurture slow-growth resonance
Nor why matriarchy’s cooperative circles
are better suited to healthy democracy
as compared to patriarchy’s competitive hierarchies
Open to retributive punishment
for being Other
when Yang becomes defined by merely Anti-Yin Business \
as Patriarchal Caste-Preserving Usual
When Win Yang becomes measured solely by Lose Yin
zero-sum eco-politically corruptive
and neurosystemically degenerative
anthropocentric history
Embedded within Earth’s larger organic context
of Yin+Yang Win+Win
phylogenic development
of EarthTribe’s co-passion mother-story.
Then why bother with it?
If you can’t deductively explain why
feeling womanist compassion
is matriarchally therapeutic
then how could your way of seeing Game Theory
through an eco-feminist lens
actually be mentally or physically therapeutic,
even for yourself,
with your deductivist-reductivist
abstract theories and thoughts
that sacred humanity-preservation
is more theologically enlightened
than organic feelings
empowering healthy ecological
FatherSun+EarthMother
Yang+Yin bipartisan cobinary
primal relationships.
Because I am nothing without co-arising you.
As bipolar opposites,
in a Win or Lose survivalist world,
neither of us could be Yang strong light
or Yin out-flowing power.
Only in our bipartisan appositional
co-arising Win+Win world
of cobinary Me+We matriarchal development
can we find Yang-Left AnthroMind
within Yin-Right EarthMother’s Body
more compassionately trusting
our politically bipartisan
and personally bicameral
healthy democratic choices
more than when Yang systemically traumatizes Yin,
and Yin retributively reacts,
rather than restoratively responds.
Maybe yes,
maybe no.
Your description of how Earth regenerates cooperative,
more than degenerates competitive
climates of AnthroCaste-preserving pathology,
does not move me toward feeling resonant therapeutic passion.
I was listening to a feminist writer
speaking of why she is uncomfortable with being labeled as a feminist.
She was clear that, for her,
what feminists are against is Patriarchy,
which is not the same thing as being against men.
It feels essential to feminism
that no feminist believes s/he can speak
with useful authority about what all feminists are for.
Informed by Win+Win Game Theory
I suspect feminists are for nurturing healthy democratic
global Yin+Yang bipartisan empowerment
restoring EarthBodies with AnthroMinds
filled with all Earth’s OrganicTribe memories
of EarthMother’s iconic trans-fertility.
Win+Win NonZero-Sum cooperative trust
restores our larger eco-nurturing souls
While Win or Lose Zero-Sum competitive mistrust
survivalist choices
are reserved for extraordinary trauma aversive
short-term strategic necessities,
to minimize personal losses;
not to vengefully maximize Other’s losses.
Tell me again why you are so sure Win+Win cooperative equivalence
is matriarchal Earth’s deeper therapeutic story,
while Win or Lose is Patriarchy’s more AnthroCaste supremacy’s
high and mighty monotheistic tragedy.
Let’s try this:
Anatol Rapaport’s regenerative-reproductive-reiterative longevity
within a game environment permitting both Win or Lose competitive,
and Win+Win cooperative bilateral choices
called Tit for Tat,
always wins every game played,
every transaction co-invested,
everyrelationship mirror-passioned
Only choosing MeWin so TheyLose
when a specific known Other
has played MeWin so YouLose in most recent
prior history of personal experience.
Corollary: Never defensively initiate WinMe to LoseThey.
If your default setting is always choose Win+Win equivalency,
except when unavoidaly engaging
a prior MeWin or OtherWins 0-sum player.
If everyone chooses Win+Win equivalency
every day
in every eco-political game and relationship,
then WinMore to LoseLess monopolistic players
are no longer culturally reinforced as neurosystemically
or ecosystemically normative.
NonZero Game Theory,
enlightened and empowered Win+Win bilateral choice-making default
feels Both-And RightBrain pleasing resonance
where Zero-Sum Win or Lose choices
are Either-Or LeftBrain dispassionate dissonance
So, Yin+Yang NonZero-Sum
healthy bipartisan democracy
passionately and pleasantly plays
most matriarchally regenerative
deepest and widest and longest?
And that’s what AnthroMind+EarthBody co-empowering Muses
share with Yang AntiPatriarchal EcoFeminists.
Yin+Yang,
not quite so much Yang or Yin,
democratic health and safety
restorative peace-making.
Well, Yang honey,
just turn your map around,
so Y/Y Matriarchs are, as they always have been, Original CoArising Causes,
after all we do carry the regenerative babies,
while the Patriarchs are just another pair of Yin or Yang
X or Y
+1 or -0
Original CoGravitating Effects.
Isn’t that a little like interpreting the teleological intent
of Democratizing Constitutions,
as Originally Caused by our ForeFather’s Mothers?
I doubt those who signed these cooperative intentions
for humanity’s health and safety
also intended to bite the wombs that embryo-fed them.
That does seem rabidly Lose+Lose unlikely,
now that you mention Original FatherSun+EarthMother
sacredly enlightening
organically empowered
cobinary Causes.
