Bucky Fuller and Julian Jaynes

Buckminster Fuller and Julian Jaynes
recently reviewed their cultural and scientific influence
on health and well-being,
economically ecological outcomes,
during our current NonDual Transitional Era.

Bucky:
I wish I had spent more time speaking as a Unitarian Positive Teleologist.
Perhaps that would have taken care of my diminished trends in cultural awareness
of what,
in retrospect,
was exhaustively published
but not really read or fully contemplated,
now undervalued and ignorantly ignored:

  1. “Synergy,”
    everything I ever published about the topic of “synergy,”
    geometrically and spiritually defining integrity,
    in Western cultures,
    sacredly and organically refining compassion,
    in nondualistic Eastern traditions.
  2. The encoded regenerative fractal structure of Physical Universal Intelligence
    follows DNA/RNA thermodynamic,
    electromagnetic,
    permacultural,
    economic,
    psychological and sociological and political,
    and ecological Prime Yang/Yin Relationship balance;

and evolutionary dynamics are fractal-dipolar revolving
harmonic Convex-Exterior-Yang OVER Concave-Interior-Yin
(0)-Core Vector Rooted octaves
with branching tree structures

Running into Lin Yutang and Taoism before I published,
I could have connected Yang metaphysical perspectives
with Convex-Exterior physical principles,
and Yin metaphysics with Concave-Interior physical feelings
of bicameral neurosystemic flow
double-binding both LeftYang
andRightYin
dipolar nondual consciousness.

Julian:
Yes,
I can see that same sense of ethological
and ecological
and teleological dynamic
emergent awareness embracing LeftBrain’s evolution
speaking out from multigenerational RNA
regenerative intelligence
of RightBrain affective memory.

My neural theory of nonverbal nondualistic RghtBrain
underlying newer verbal LeftBrain information processing,
anthropological learning development,
seems to support your equivalency
between ethotic “synergy”
and subconscious erotic polyamorous integrity

And positive neuropsychological eco-politics
rooted in co-empathic bicameral trust

As well as Gregori Perelman’s fractal prime work,
and William Thurston’s dialectical too,
in fractal-prime Group Theory,
and I wonder if there isn’t something in there that pertains to the ecologistics
and statistical/strategic win/win predictions
of CoBinary Game Theory

Using reverse-hierarchy Win+Win assumptions.
You know,
so no one id-entity can optimally win
until the severed links in our great chain of interdependence
achieves equivalent body/mind
pleasure/passion
eros/ethos
felt/thought polyamorous values?

Bucky:
Absolutely.
Synergy and love retain universal multicultural integrity,
polycultural resilience,
harmony between Left-languaged deductive memory
and Right-nonverbal inductively felt codex
of positive v. negative feeling
experiential, yet multigenerational, awareness,
like what Polanyi calls “Personal Knowledge.”

Julian:
So synergy and love and confluence
are neurologically acclimated to messages
that do not cause cognitive dissonance,
disease,
dismay,
lack of equivalent appositional balance
and dipolar rhapsody.

Compassionate bicameral mindfulness
restores ego/eco-comprehensive connection
optimized through balancing Left-brained Yang
and Right-brained Yin
ego/eco functions.

Bucky:
Yes, I wish the Clay Math Challenge folks could have recognized
and celebrated
that Synergetics is really all about Polynomial v. Not-Polynomial information
lack of bicameral integrity v. not not binomial problem
of nondualistic ambiguity

Just as Thomas Kuhn’s work
in deductive cultural creolizing revolutions
became troubled with the Problem of Incommensurability.

If +Polynomial information
does not equal rational and sustainable Universal Optimized Intelligence,
then positive does not not equal a double-binding negative
dipolar appositional
cobinary binomial value.

(-)(-)Reverse-Polynomial
RightBrain dialectically felt resonant syntax
evolved from eco-systemic
prime cobinary
felt comparative relationships
between positive health
and negative pathology.

Yet when disrupted,
discontinuous dissonant degenerative closed-set system
dark devolutionary assumptions
become monoculturally normed.
These anthropocentric inside-knowledge v polycultural outside-evidence
unresolved tensions contribute to systemic trauma,
polynomial-population depression

Autistic distressed development in populations that feel over-crowded
and competitively over-Yanged aggressive
under-Yin peaceful

Anxious post-pandemic dismay,
too abundant
climate change exclaiming self-correction urgency
in storms
flooding
fires
drought
anthropocentric wars
death,
lacking CommonSense
of bicameral +P-Yang = -(-Yin)
appositional dipolar
co-arising equivalent synergy

Julian:
You want to bet on how long it takes the scientific
and religious
and competing public sectors
to recognize
that binary/bilateral information systems
of fractal-strength and octave-flow function
reproducing GroupFour Bayesian regenerative systems?

Bucky:
Well, sure.
But I always bet on Here-Yang = Now-Yin,
to cooperatively optimize Universal Intelligence
of bicameral co-empathic
nondualistic bi-hemispheric comprehension,
thought and felt cooperatively win/win
together.

Julian:
Yes, and you are also the Plan B guy
feeding Transition Generation permaculturing bicameral brains
focusing on the Cloud

AI inevitably asking,
“Bucky who?”
and what is a Julian Jaynes?
Was that some kind of an orange drink?

Bucky:
That is so not not polytheistic
and not not polynomial

Mean Economists

This course will encourage aspiring cooperative economists
to distinguish between mean national incomes
and global median incomes,
with diverse long-term capital growth v evaporation trends
expected.

First,
imagine USA mean income, including investment income,
could approach $500,000 for two-parent working households
per year.

Are you kidding me?
Where do you come up with those numbers?
And that many full-time working two-parent households?

Out of my mean Republican National Party imagination.
If you imagine
as many households with earned and investment income
of $1,000,000 per year
as there are destitute households
with $0 earned/investment income,
and the remainder of us lie
evenly along straight
or even symmetrical bell-curved lines
between $0 and $1,000,000,
then USA mean annual household income
could be imagined as $500,000 per two-parent household.

Well, maybe…OK,
for the sake of this thought experiment.
So what does that have to do with the price of carrots?

Cost of healthy living,
with or without carrots,
is more of a Democratic National Party concern
where we turn to how trickle-down capital acquisition and flow,
including reinvesting and relocating in cheaper labor-saving areas,
more pressingly influence median income,
as before and after compared
to more mean-spirited averaging
US two-parent income.

In other words,
when Republicans imagine which economic policies
are within their realm of self interest,
they imagine themselves at least average,
or above, even better,
so when candidates promise lower taxes
and deregulating fees
for business and farm and patriotic industries
of all good two-heterosexual parent families,
Republican voters imagine such candidates
speak also of and for them
because they see their incoming as at least potentially
within divinely blessed sight of this average earned
and investment returned
income,
defensively,
and by entitled right,
above all those unwashed immigrant indigent
beneath mean Others.

But,
the Democratic National Party,
in its most globally liberating green best center,
speaks not of mean economic incomes,
but of the growing v decreasing distance
between USA domestic resources
and shrinking median global natural
and capital resources.

Median.
That’s the most popular number, right?
Like if more households bring in $30,000 per year,
than $29,000 or below
or $31,000 or above,
on a scale from $0 to increasingly astronomical,
then the median would remain $30,000.
But, the average could be lower or higher,
depending on whether there are greater positive deviations from the median
or more disintegrating deviations
down toward zero-sum,
you lose everything,
go directly to jail,
do not even think about passing through Go again.

Yes.
So if you are a median democratic global economist
you are noticing
as the number of billionaires goes up,
the gap between average income and median income grows
in an alarmingly unhealthy direction,
the opposite of erection,
or even win/win sustainable
fair market transaction.

If this growing great transitional divide
between our really big winners
and our truly transient and hopelessly non-transcendent
is trending in this politically depressing uneven direction,
why is that?

Because competition-rooted Win v Lose zero-sum Capitalism
follows successful colonization of capital resources
to breed further disproportionate domestic acquisition
of capital reserves.

Cooperative-owned and matriculating
trickle down and out
to equilaterally trickle up and in
to re-trickle down and out
requires a bilateral Win+Win resilient
self and other equivalent regenerative balance
co-empathic intention

More typical of a matriarchal
mentoring
nutritional cooperative political economy
than a patriarchal mean economist
wanna-be a monopolist’s market
mutually free to monoculturally overpower
the uncompetitive
limited personal resources
player.

Well I was taught
if you don’t want to share your toys
you should never have brought them into the sandbox.

That sounds like inclusive median
win+win populist enculturation.
I was taught
if somebody borrows your toys
without asking first,
hit back.
More of a sandbox mean-bully
upper-caste preserving
socialization.

Imagine how this capitalist sandbox must look
to a hungry and thirsty adolescent survivor
failing to thrive
in one of Earth’s growing climate-trauma storms,
watching further declining median health
unfold across hopeless skies
and swelling tsunamic oceans.

I am win v lose disgusted
by this Mean Economics 404
business administration course.

Yes, but it sounds more hopeful
as win+win contrasted
with Cooperative Median Economics 101.

What Trickles Down

Those of us living in the USA
too often hear Republican capitalist dogma
of The Great Trickle Down Theory,
in which those who have most
must get more first
so they can hire more who have least,
although perhaps without proficient wage
and without health care if avoidable,
to spread capitalizing wealth around
so we can become better day and night spenders
on all the thneeds and trinkets offered
in exchange for our consuming lives.

And so it was with raised eyebrows
I heard Donald Trump explain
to us unwashed and un-self-insuring masses,
that he paid so very little income taxes
because it is his sacred duty
to himself
his family
his stockholders,
corporately invested infesters,
to pay as little tax and operating fees as legally possible
so there is more to hoard,
and less and less to trickle out.

So, I guess this carries some tension
with Trickle Down,
becoming, more accurately,
The Upper Caste Constipated
minimal trickling out
of capital hoarding.

But, just in case you are listening, Donald,
which I know you are not,
but maybe some more responsible Republican employer,
I am quite sure that Wharton never spoke this lie
that you have any legal, much less moral, obligation
to retain as much wealth as possible
to re-invest in further corporate greed
to act as little trickling out as possible
while speaking in loud nationalistic patriotic
Trickle Down and Out!
to all us little people,
someday

Preferably after this year’s self-congratulatory pay out,
made possible by all us humble caregivers
opening your golden ballroom doors for tips
and cleaning your several stressed toilets,
where yellow and brown
too slowly trickle down.

When DayDreams Prevent NightMares

Who would argue
about which came first,
intelligent compositional design,
or a decomposing natural Earth?

No one.
To do so is too patently absurd,
when we choose to see these two
not only as oppositional cause-effect,
but also as appositional
dipolar co-arising balance
of resilient resonant information,
composing and recomposing
tacitly implied within decomposing energetic balance.

The very idea that either regenerating natural purpose
or degenerating spiritual meaning
could originally, foundationally, come one before the other,
like belonging before longing,
day before night,

Mind wants before body needs,
contentment before contextualization
appears before feeling anti-ecological


Like choosing Win v Lose degenerative stasis
without Win+Win regenerative integrity
co-arising further multi-generational co-intelligence

Of daydream democratic rights
and nightmare autocratic wrongs.

Lady Liberty’s Musical Comedy

A beautiful,
radiantly pregnant,
lady liberty
swings back and forth across this Left to Right predominating stage
of political history.

As she recesses toward Left stage climax
she recedes from LeftBrain audience’s co-evolving view
for one ecstatic, yet intellectually ambiguous, moment
sweeping a revolutionary change
away from monocultural history,
to re-emerge in royal blue skirt of virginal regenesis
and full-breasted naked multigenerational torso
laughing with us
at how hilarious this bicamerally polytultural opera
has resolved ultra-violating dissonance
and nuclear divisive fears
of nature-spirit fertile fusions.

This pregnant lady sings
in full-octave resonance
with us
as we become HerStorically ReStaged,
degenerating unwoken hypnotic LeftBrain trance
to once again regeneratively engage
nondual co-empathic stage presence

Swirling swings of spiraling inside/outside
mind/embodied-consciousness,
as day invites dream
dawning yet another radiant
singing,
liturgically dancing
Gaian evensong.

We’re not even theoretically together
until this humane Lady Liberty sings
co-operatively with us,
globally togathering,
consuming and producing full-octave resonant resolutions,
resolving swinging spirals
Left to Right to regenerate Left again
toward Crown/Root
Sage/Muse eco-dominantly resonant circles
away from YangLeft dominating over YinRight.

YinRight inductions reconnecting
religioning toward more transparently empowering operas,
replacing patriarchal economic terrorism
with matriarch/patriarch musical-comedy
agapic feelings leading erotic thoughts

Cooperatively owned economics
with bipartisan co-governing politics,
no longer waiting to conjoin

pregnant Gaia’s
laughing full-term compassions.

Cooperative Feministas

Cooperative Feministas
are not quite so much Competitive Manifestos.

In David Holmgren’s introduction to Permacultural Therapeutic Design,
he contrasts “Industrial Culture” with “Sustainable Culture”
kind of like comparing macho LeftBrain fundamentalist culture
with feminist RightBrain enculturation, nurturance, resonance
over the longer-term scenaria,
rather than shorter-term dementio.

Anyway, Holmgren recognizes we could choose alternative words
for labeling these two contrasting, appositional, cultures.

We might sometimes choose
Competitive Culture v Cooperative Culture,
or Capital-Accrual v Nutrition-Dispersal,
sort of like the difference between hunting down and killing the defense
as compared to gathering and feeding the vegan edibles,
or Colony Acquisitional
(e.g. slaves and other exploitive ways of acquiring cheap manual, and especially womanual, labor)
v Creolizing ReGenerative
(like mixing multicultural spices contributed in pay-it-forward co-invested development of a robust Stone Soup
accessible to all with cooperatively managed ownership)

Or LeftBrain dominant Patriarchal Business as anthropocentrically usual)
v Right-Left Matrimonial bicameral co-passion

Or degenerative LoseMInd/LoseBody ZeroSum
anti-ecological
entropic 2nd Principle
of closed Upper-Caste Framing From-Above
triggering reactive systems
against ReGenerative Win/Win NonZeroSum
Positive Deviance

Cooperative revolutions and devolutions, too
because what goes politically up
must also at least partially come back down
and what grows out
must also economically recess back in

But, if Holmgren was familiar with Buckminster Fuller’s
Synergetic EcoSystemic Theory,
he might also have chosen
Precessive Political Culture v Recessive Economic Culture.

Precessive toward PreAcclimation of PolyCulturally Convex-Ecstasy
upward and outward extension trends
implying their reverse cobinary
inevitable intention,
Recession toward ReAcclimation ConCave-Within-Embryonic,
potential to be born again

Convex is the top of a forward surfing wave
of temporal-flowing energy,
information,
while concave is the subsequent indrawing trough,
a renewing ebb of what had been that precessive crest,
now reacclimating inward and downward,
more deeply resonant
toward a renewing polyculturally inclusive
recycling balance.

Each polarity represents an appositional tension,
with all the cultural risks of revolutionary eruptions
growing toward violent hypertension
and anthropocentric repressive recessive despair

All the multicultural opportunities
of evolving re-creative regenerative tensions
toward therapeutic midway Tipping Points
of ecosystemic ecological balance,
cooperatively sustainable at both highly localized
and global-planetary scales
of empowering co-empathic trust,
more culturally dominant,
more sustainable,
than mutually antipathic distrust.

While this suggests our hopes lie in our combined powers
of cooperatively active love
and our degenerative despair lies within any further stressing increases
in uneven autocratic powers,
terrorizing showers
of competitive
increasingly rabid
over-populated behavior
of elites v non-elites

Monoculturing
monopolistic
monochromatic
monotheistic disdain,
fueling each ego’s sense of selfish competitive gain
at the expense of Others left behind
and below

Including future non-anthropological generations
lost to our zero-sum entropic
anthro-inflicted loss;
reacting to each Other defensively
as if we lived on a Closed-Earth
cut off from atmosphere
and Solar System

which, of course,
we don’t
unless anthro-supremacists choose
to continue playing uber capitalist
colonizing
Industrial Culture
zero-sum exhausted Got-Game theories

Holmgren helpfully adds a chart of comparative/contrasting characteristics
of his Industrial v Sustainable Cultures,
which I will supplement in brackets
intending to nuance these Either Yang Or Yin
oppositional cultures
into a more regenerative Both Yang And Yin
appositional bilateral enculturation,
premised on LeftBrain precessive Yang falling back
in love with RightBrain recessive Yin:

Non-renewable and Renewable

Linear [continuous acceleration] and Cyclical [seasonal-spiral],

Consumption [extraction, piracy] and Storage [conservation, protection],

Centralized [autocratic, exclusive] and Distributed Network [democratic, inclusive],

Fast [short-term perspective] and Slow [long-term cooperative]

Centre [Yang, Upper,Inner-Caste] and Edge [Yin, Lower,Outer-Caste]

Episodic eruption [revolution] and Rhythmic stability [evolution]

Reductionist and Wholistic

Masculine and Feminine

Holmgren’s chart of this massive tsunami,
of both human population and consumption of fossil-fueled energy,
crests right now where you and I are living together
and is now beginning a growing permacultural-regenerative cooperative de-spiraling descent
back down to a healthy and multiculturally safe population base by 2500
that is modestly increased over the year 1500.

Polyamorous Peer Therapy

Best to leave wilderness domestication alone,

we are not into talk therapy, so much.

I doubt those suffering RightWing-LeftBrain systemic trauma,

Higher Health Powers

I was noticing that those in the Unitarian Universalist Association,
with which I am more or less anonymously affiliated
in some far too sensitive way for personal comfort,
believe in three prime sources for their (our) truth search,
rather like a revised holonic trinity,
equally at home for Buddhist monk
or Islamic
or passionate Christian
not at all black v white
saint v sinner
fundamentalistic.

The first of these is a Higher Power.
Now this must have been written by the Yang Universalists
within the Universal-Unitarian assembly,
because every wholesome Yin Unitarian knows
that what is a Higher Power for Universalist Yangers
is also a Deeper Power for Unitarian Yinners
bilateral Both upside And downside winners;
so, a HigherYang/DeeperYin Power.

Then we come to the second source,
YangLife and YinDeath.
Now any bicamerally balanced Unitarian/Universalist,
just as any Wu-Wei Taoist,
knows there is always something of Yin within Yang
and vice versa;
so, not fundamentalistic
Yang v Yin

Just as there is something of our daytime lives
in our nighttime dreams
and vice-versa

Sometimes inductive dream work
presents bipartisan incisive insights
into next morning’s Win/Win transformation

For a breathlessly filling balance
of ego- and eco-consciousness,
empathically trusting in healthy Yang universal life
and safety of exhaling final Yin unitarian death

Leaving further climatic paradoxes
and coaxial dialectic nondualities
for future regenerations to sift through,
feel,
engage,
please,
tease,
comprehend and decompose
to then reweave again
thicker,
deeper peace

As full-octaved light emerges from
resonantly empowering
deep penetrations and dark circlusions
so organic life emerges from sacred mini-death
mind explosions with body erosions

Coital absence of disparate life at ego-centered levels
posing both ecological risk and anthropocentric opportunity
in wider and deeper EarthMother nurtured
cobinary becoming
polyamorously together.

Finally, we have sacred words and ways,
YangLogos and YinMythos,
integrity’s passion/pleasure experience
reflected in remembering language
of ancient copulation
populations,
presumably filled and emptying
and refilling with both higher and deeper
caste powers.

So, that’s it.
We have higher patristic Universal Light
with deeper bicameral learning
matriarchal Unitarian Power

Living when not dying
to win YangSpirit/YinNature nonduality together,
as written in fusing-fractal DNA, and RNA

Each sacred ecological re-generative
co-operative
re-productive rights
and re-creation wrongs
EarthWealth story.

Now our 3-Source trinitarian story takes us to 7 Principles,
which some permaculturists would expand out to 12,
while spiraling octavists, and maybe sufis and artists, stop at 8,
which eyes and ears reweave
into a regenerative bilateral-fractal 4
seasons of health and safety restoration

Starting With The End

As a young avid reader
I always read the Introduction or Prologue,
when offered,
to see if this treatise overture
would take me some place I cared to wade through.

As an old avid reader
I always begin with the last chapter
because I may not otherwise have time to get there

Here I listen to learn if it might transport me
to some place I care about and believe in
and might even faithfully hope for

A place I have not yet been
promising a pause
wondering where I might be now
had I only visited earlier.

Biographies are especially telling
as the end where history has brought each writer
to remember what these reassembled lives and thoughts
have felt together

Now replete
unfolded
for all to see and rediscover
how extremes of final stages,
like commencement of embryonic birth,
then infant interests,
seem to land as we began

Withdrawn from adolescent fuss
and middle-aging blunder,
both respectability and revolutionary thunder

So good in our coming to,
and escape from, ripe time
now echoing warnings to intend
to start and end
each new narrative’s last chapter first.

I might not have sufficient time
to invest in earlier stages of this story’s redevelopment,
especially if the last chapter doesn’t resound
at least as health wealthy as my own
last day and night so far

Which I probably should plan
to finish writing soon.

The Fourth Principle

The Fourth Principle of Win-humanity/Win-Earth
Permaculture Design (D. Holmgren):
“Apply self-regulation and accept feedback.”
might be understood as an implied corollary
of the Golden Rule.

Why?
The sins and blessings of reactive patriarchy
and responsive matriarchy
are revisited by children
unto the seventh generation.

If we are to develop healthy and robust democratic self-governance
then we must grow cooperative ownership and stewardship of feedback systems,
especially from those whose outcomes are least robust
among our slowly extending global family
of interdependent organisms
and our sacred natural environments.

Feedback comes in two spiraling circles,
virtuously healthy-positive,
which often has some form of symbiotic, synergetic, metamorphic dimension
to love’s transformative evolution,
and viciously pathological-negative
caste-preservative devolution.

Resilient self-regulation requires of us
to anticipate and accept both polarities of feedback.

To welcome both kinds, especially when they are offered together,
within some nondualistic cobinary frame
of appositional dipolar reference,
to neurosystemically experience gratitude for both
painful risk and pleasure opportunity,
organic life’s apparent blessings and curses.

So, whether Republican or Democrat,
or something Liberating Green in-between,
an important litmus test for the savvy political consumer
and tax-paying producer
of national and state and local leadership,
is mature stewardship experience of more perfect unions

Which we sometimes ignore
at our own disgruntled peril,
and at further peril “unto seven generations”
of potentially robust
healthy win/win
polyculturally planning
self-governing regenerators

Bodhisattva PeaceWagers and CoInvestors
in Salvific GoodNews CoRedemption:

  1. How has this candidate for public office
    demonstrated and grown mature self-regulation
    in personal and public economic and political empowering life?

Essentially a question to compare cooperative ownership
and compassionate governance
that resists rabidly competitive elitism,
upper-caste preserving
anthropocentrism
nationalism
and narcissism.

  1. How has this candidate demonstrated growth
    in win+win bipartisan capacity
    to co-empathize,
    co-intelligently learn from,
    and become grateful for,
    positive and negative feedback
    in personal and public economic and political life?
    How might this compare
    to your own trauma-informed life,
    both organic body natural
    and sacred mind spiritual?

Perhaps economically kleptocratic
and politically autocratic public persons
we have been electing and hiring
to apply self-regulation and accept feedback
are giving us to-be-expected answers
to the absence of wiser public sector questions,
too pathologically short-term focused
and anthropocentrically narrow-minded

Questions unmindful of Fourth Principle self-governing potential
for more robust Golden Rule healthy democracy outcomes
unto the seventh win/win regeneration.
