Sacred Ecology of Game Theory
The healthiest and wealthiest ecological objective
of designing and playing life
is to optimize potential for continuing reiterative plays and transactions
as long as possible.
Win-Lose
EitherEgo/OrEco
ZeroSum monopolies,
such as bottom-line competitive capitalism
and bullying
quickly devolve,
diminish down to one supremacist ego-political Winner.
Yet then this relentlessly Might Makes Right game is over,
and so this Winner only wins to lose the entire cooperative gaming network.
Win-Win
BothEgo/AndEco
NotNot Positive Zero-Sum
double-binding equivalency norms,
such as Golden Ruled,
optimize options of Tit-for-Tat reiterative continuous healthy
and “wrapping in” or “creolizing” inclusive,
gifting-forward,
delayed mutual reward,
robust continuity,
unto perpetuity of this same naturally cooperative gaming network.
Yin-Messianism is too often confused with over-Yanged zealotry,
with Win-Lose Zionism as nationalistic patriotism,
in which
should our nationalistic pretensions of elitism Lose,
such as losing a Vietname War, for example,
then YHWH has also lost,
suffered a demi-death.
Win-Lose zealotry of nationalism will,
if too over-grazing successful,
predict its own idolatrous fall from sacred grace.
Continous matriarchal-cooperative creolism, polyculturalism, multiculturalism
lies between Yin-rooted defenseless messianism
and Yang over-shot. totalitarian nationalistic, defensive zealotry.
It is possible to have a healthy interdependent national ientity culture,
but it would be as matriotic as patriotic,
it would not be discontinuously-supremacist nationalistic,
it would be co-messianic,
multiculturally cooperative messianic,
looking for syncretic uniting nations
nurturing healthy Earth climates
and landscapes with polyculturally regenerative outcomes.
It is possible to avoid messiah complexes,
whether personally or ecopolitically public as naked elitist patriots,
by recognizing we are a co-messianic patriotic/matriotic species
for waging Bodhisattva peace and mutual mercy.
Messiah complexes are essentially and idolatrously egocentric,
about what I can do to save the less free and/or loyal and/or pure world;
co-messianism is about what we are One-MindBody doing together
to co-redeem this creolizing recreative EarthTribe.
“[Elitist-purist] permaculture is not the [polyculturally cooperative game] landscape,
or even the skills of [healthy] organic gardening,
sustainable [ecotherapeutic consuming-producing] farming,
energy [informational] efficient [natural] building
or eco-village
[or eco-international matriarchal-cooperative ownership] development
as such.
But it [co-messianic polyculturally positive-healthy outcomes]
can be [cooperatively and transculturally] used
to [democratically] design,
[nondually co-arise] establish,
manage and [co-empathically trust] improve
these and all other [double-binding WinWin] efforts
made by [YangLeft/YinRight balancing] individuals,
households
and communities
[and nations]
towards a sustainable [multiculturally healthy
and democratically safe,
co-redemptive ecopolitical] future.”

Book of Lists
A book of lists
is what I need
to absolve Earth’s Tribes
of rampant greed.
Before and after lists,
being and becoming fists,
masculine and feminist mutual mentoring trists
of transliterative transubstantiation.
I would like to hug
a warm and fuzzy theology
with prophetic philosophical appeal
to aesthetic reasons and tastes
that both hunters and gatherers
might sing and dance along
together.
Nationalism is out,
so Earth-centrism is in.
Egocentric competitivism is out,
so ecoconsciousness colors back in
balancing patriarch/matriarch cooperatives,
consensus ego/eco-consciousness.
I need an updated list of reasons why
when red is out
then green is in
and when they grow together
we rediscover rich brown creolization
of less anthrocentric cultures,
we reweave deep dark mythos/logos syncretism,
for healthier earth history stories,
not just logos taught, but also mythos mentored.
I love this list
of red becomes purpling peopling nurturing equalities
as blue states of eco-natured redevelopment
become aquamarine green,
together ultra-violet
non-zero sum octaves
WinWin his/herstories.
I live these self-regenerating lists.
They move around
Yin-in with Yang-out
to re-emerge regenerative
of and with and for Earth’s 4D spacetime double-binding
creole-loving
living
transcendent generosity
listing forward to regenerative ecotherapy
listing back toward permaculturing gratitude
for these organic EarthTribe lists
of ebb and flow.
We need an historic list,
cooperatively owned and together self-managed,
of how paganism birthed monotheism
and regenerations of taoist anthrocentric panentheism
birthed co-arising nonduality
of PatriarchalYang loving Matriarchal nurturing Yin
birthing Trinitarian permacultures
systemic-organic networks
regenerating egoconscious Left
as also ecoconscious Right
as Mother Earth Shabbat
in and of Beloved internal/external Community
climate balance
both universally absolutely empowering
and invitingly
unitingly
concretely organic Golden Rule ego/eco enlightening.
I need a list
composed by historians
and journalists
of what regeneratively happened
when we had no bad news,
where we had no headlines to gossip about
and only loves to nurturingly share
with
and in
and on
and for
and of
Earth’s regenerate blessings.
Prescribing ReBirth with DT2
DT2 came to me, unwillingly and clandestinely,
only because he was referred by his mother,
who was concerned that he was growing up and out
to become an ego-terrorist,
and she had heard of my feminist work as ecotherapist–
so maybe her own WinWin hopes and dreams
for him
and her
and for her beloved matriarchal-fertile Earth,
could speak effectively with his WinLose terrifying games-man-ship.
DT2: You realize I think you’re a crock of shit witch
and I only brought you into this Oval Office
because that’s all my mother would accept
for Mother’s Presidential Day.
Me: Of course.
And it’s almost equally unpleasant to meet you too.
Yet isn’t it nice that you are already talking about your feelings?
DT2: Not particularly, no.
I talk about my feelings all the time.
In fact, some of my most mistrusted advisers and counselors
would like me to keep my feelings for WinLose business
under my corporate baseball cap.
Me: And it sounds like this may be why these advisers
too quickly grow mistrusted by WinLose patriotic-feeling you.
DT2: My national patriotism is not a matter of debate,
either internal or external.
Me: Yet perhaps your international matriotism
could become a matter of richer creolizing discussion,
just between us, if you prefer.
DT2: Don’t try to confuse me with your nature-spirit voodoo ways.
I told my mother
feminist ecotherapists are exactly what this nation does not need.
Me: And she disagrees with you,
and asked you to consider letting go of WinLose egocentric nationalist-patriotic you
to grab hold of WinWin eco-centric global
patriotic-matriotic bicameral ecopolitical balance.
DT2: I’m not the disloyal and sick one in this Office right now.
Me: And yet you sound so unhappy and unhealthy
and, frankly, ecopolitically WinWin dysfunctional.
DT2: To you, who thinks power is about feelings
more than controlling future corporate wealth.
Me: This is where you under-estimate your own potential.
Feminist ecotherapy speaks of both wealth and healthy feelings
as what we must,
and more or less matriarchally-domestically always have,
kept EliteLeft-Deductive/NonEliteRight CoEmpathic Trust together.
Yes I do care about the power of your passions,
both negative and positive,
both degeneratingly angry and fearful and terrified,
and regeneratively healthy and wealthy and cooperative,
but I also care about what this says to you about
our international future incarnated-incorporated-constitutional wealth
here on Earth,
where each future generation is bicamerally reborn and nurtured.
DT2: You naively give far too much power to love and cooperation.
My more stengthening experience
has been about patriarchal WinLose powers of survival
against threats of fear and hate and misguided anger management.
Me: And I can see this in your past,
as does your mother,
and your future remains a choice
to continue being over-powered by these unhealthy roots
of LeftBrain patriotic nationalistic elitist sexist dominance,
and yet also nondually co-arise your own RightBrain Elder
matriotic-embryonic cooperative nurturing phylogenic memories
of WinWin regenerative global flow power,
co-empathic trust-inductive with ecopolitically positive truth-deductive,
to grow your Wins with healthwealth regeneration
to also shrink your Losses against your own EgoLeft Deductive Prominence.
DT2: Thank you,
but I see our time is up.
Me: And going WinLose Survivalist old-school down,
with your primitive terrorist-theory of dysfunctional
nationalist-ego-reductive
Yang-supremacist
anti-creolizing
purist/loyalist
devolution.
DT2: I’ll not see you in Constitutional Law and Order Court.
Me: And yet we will be there,
within you,
right there in your Elder RightBrain BiLateral CoArising
Matriarchal BothAnd WinWin
Positive and DoubleBinding reverse dipolar co-arising
cognitive-affective dissonance.
DT2: I don’t have time to pretend that makes any sense
in my LeftBrain Dominant world of patriotic WinLose nationalism.
Me: And we don’t have time to ignore
our RightBrain Suppressed fear-mongering
as an inadequate Left-progress v Right-conserve substitute
for our Constitution’s CoOperative BiCameral Original Nurturing Intent,
Yin WinWinning ecotherapeutic LeftBrain Yang/Yin
ecopolitically creole-ElitePatriarchy/NonEliteMatriarchal Nurturing Feelings
symbiotically re-balancing Earth’s regenerative nature-nurture,
reweaving Left-Right ego/ecotherapeutic healthywealth.
DT2: That is not my WinElite-LoseNonElite mandate
from almost half of those bothering to patriotically vote
for me as a NonElite Washington-incorporated self-advocating outsider.
Me: And yet it is your WinElite-WinNonElite Matriarchal mandate
from the other half of those bothering to more ecofeminist WinWin vote
for Other.
Something to think about,
especially when your shrinking competition-oriented half
starts listening to our growing cooperative BothAnd EarthJustice half
for all Earth’s creolizing children and women and bicameral democratizing men,
and all EarthTribe’s cooperative Original Intent co-ownership and co-governing species
as ecopolitically WinWin nature-nurtured Earth.
DT2: Again, you have been too generous with my time.
Me: And yet ungenerous with your odds against Earth’s WinWin ecopolitical success.
DT2: I’m going to tell my mother you said that.
Me: She’s already RightBrain feeling it.
No worries.
Best of regeneratingly healthy luck.
Do you want to schedule a follow-up appointment?
DT2: No thanks.
Much too busy doing well with my Executive Orders
and twittering WinLose administration of quasi-Anger Management.
To summarize,
DT2 appears to live in a YangLeft v YinRight ego-encultured body
yet his bicameral mind evolved out of a matriarchal
YangDeductive-Conserve and YinInductive-Progress WinWin
co-arising nondual dipolar organic mind-body.
Cognitive-affective bilateral bipolar dissonance continues
his current paranoid-patriarchal too-prominent ecopolitical issues.
EcoTherapy: Grow WinWin L-R; shrinking WinLose inductive anti-trusting R.
Art Therapy
My daughter,
with Oppositionally Defiant Chaotic Disorder,
has taught me a role-play therapy,
in which we Both-And build a back-and-forth story,
she plays me,
more or less,
and I play her
Mulatta as I inductively feel her
in my RightBrain resonant positives
and double-binding humorous negatives
kind of cooperative-regenerative way.
So the structure of our cooperative WinWin therapeutic narrative,
rather than oppositionally Win/Lose deconstructed,
might go something like:
Mulatta, speaking as kind of a Prince Charming Donald Trump: Cinderella, please come to my HotChick Inspection Ball.
Me, as kind of a Cinderella EarthMom on her best, most cooperative, day: Thanks so much for thinking of me, but I think I’m washing my hair that night.
Mulatta: Cinderella, you have to come to the Ball so we can dance together, and get married, and I can own you and tell you what to do for the rest of your pathetic life.
Me: Well, when you put it that way, how could I possibly refuse? Shall we dance?
Mulatta: Yes, it’s time for you to dance for me. Put on Ella Fitzgerald, “Love For Sale.”
Me: And then we’ll dance back-to-back to “Strange Fruit.”
Mulatta: And then we’ll be married and you’ll have eight babies.
Me: And they will each become a different healthy shade of brown.
Mulatta: And some will turn different colors when they get old like you.
Me: And perhaps Prince Charming shouldn’t refer to Cinderella as old, because then I fell unhappy and I stop feeding you.
Mulatta: And perhaps that’s why I have so many cooks because I have other things for you to do.
Me: And I have little doubt these will bring me great joy. For example?
Mulatta: Clean your room! And take out the trash!
Me: And why does Prince Charming suddenly sound like the Ugly StepMom?
Mulatta: Cinderella, stop procrastinating with all your questions!
Me: Right. And so they lived unhappily ever after,
planning “Love For Sale” balls
for all their terrified prince charmings.
I found this reverse role-play idea
for conflict-therapy,
as compared more positively to normal WinLose Anger Management,
in Larry Susskind’s co-mentoring work with public planning processes,
in which those who are LeftBrain thinking oppositionally
against other positions taken in the room,
are encouraged to imagine they are RightBrain inductively feeling
both the appositional positives and short-term win-to-lose negatives
that these alien-other positions of mutual antipathy have taken.
For example,
imagine your LeftBrain dominance as WinLose President Trump
having a conversation about the regenerative-fertile Original Intent
of the North and South and Central and Caribbean America’s Constitutions,
with your RightBrain embryonic matriarchal WinWin wisdom,
on EarthMom’s very best health and cooperative safety feeling day.
Who would win what in such a bicameral Left-WinWin
and Right-WinLose regenerative thrival over survival conversation?
And would it feel like more of a BothAnd dialogue
than an EitherOr debate?
And who might be invited to lose their LeftBrain Ego-UnCentered Dominance
to embrace our RightBrain Eco-Multiculturing
WinWin Matriarchal Resonance
with creole-climaxing climate harmonic resolutions
resounding through each Original Intent of ego/eco-democratic
organic co-empathic trusting constitution?
Mulatta: What does it mean, “Love For Sale”?
Me: It was intended to be ironic economics;
not to be taken seriously as appropriate to optimize Health and SafeWealth.
That would be more like “Life For CoOperative CoInvestment.”
Mullatta: Nobody would buy that title.
Me: How about “Life for ReGenesis”?
Mulatta: How about “Love for Exodus”?
Me: How about both
for all Earth’s Chosen Creolizing Species?
Mulatta: Sounds like we’re back to the part about me inviting you to a HotChick Inspection Ball.
Me: And me needing to wash my matriarchal-regenerative healthy hair instead.
Mulatta: Aren’t you confusing Cinderella with Samson?
Me: And maybe Salome.
Zen Math
Listen up but learn deep,
said the non-existent Zen Math teacher.
I’m only saying this once
and it will be on your test
now nearly finished.
1. All nomials are part of the universal network of polynomials,
just as all memes are part of an integral memory system
or there would be neither nomial
nor meme.
2. All nomials are also binomials
for the same reason we call half a moon
a Full Moon
and refer to a quartile of moon
as a Half Moon.
3. Which is also why digital information
is always binary,
and why double-binds are also double negative oxymorons
of equivalent co-arising coincidence.
4. And why,
on a Zero Zen-centered Earth,
all polynomials are equivalent to double-negative polynomials,
dualdark shadow yin square roots
trending Yang notnot empty virginity,
remembering (0)-soul bilateral regenerativity
of co-arising Time.
Those are my questions.
Now, could we become a more resonantly comprehensive answer?
Bilateral EcoPolitical Thinking: Part 2
Last half of Edward de Bono’s Lateral Thinking Summary, pp. 298-300, with bicameral ecological supplements (informed by Gregory Bateson) in brackets:
In ordinary traditional thinking we have developed no methods for going beyond the [suboptimally reasonable] adequate. As soon as something is [feels] satisfactory our [LeftBrain] thinking must stop.
And yet there may be many better [more therapeutic, more confluent, more balanced, more resonant] arrangements of information
beyond the merely adequate [reified, deduced conclusion].
Once one has reached an adequate answer
then it is difficult to proceed by logical thinking
because the [reifying, reiterating] rejection [through entrenched, well acclimated hierarchical nutrition-tree] mechanism which is the basis of logical thinking can no longer function well.
With lateral thinking one can easily proceed beyond the adequate [usually with a better understanding of why it empathically feels trusted] by [flooding] insight restructuring. [overpopulating your frame of idea production, RightBrain-storming for feelings of interdependence where LeftBrain only registers aptic ecopolitical emptiness, absence of relationship, correlation]
[Bi]Lateral thinking is especially useful in problem solving and in the generation of new ideas.
But it is not confined to these situations for it is an essential part of all thinking.
Without a method for [revolutionarily] changing [chronic stress problematic climates] concepts and bringing them up to [evolutionary WinWin ecological] date
one is liable to be trapped by concepts which are more [eisegetically WinLose] harmful than [exegetically ecopolitically multiculturally] useful .
Moreover rigid concept patterns [evolving dynamic-dimensional models] can actually create a great number of [static, stagnation, hoarding, attachment, suffering, slow-burn dissonating, decomposing] problems.
Such problems are particularly fierce [chronic-stress dissonant] since they cannot be altered by available [exegetically languaged] evidence
but only by [revolutionary co-empathic] insight restructuring.
The need to change ideas is becoming more and more obvious as technology [born of human natures and fertile humors] speeds up the rate of communication [transfers of co-valued information as co-languaged exformations] and [co-relational ecopolitical] progress.
We have never developed very satisfactory methods for changing [consciousness about] ideas but have always relied on [reiteratively stuck, ruminating] conflict [cognitive-affective dissonance, disassociation].
[Bi]Lateral [cameral, appositional gestalt lensed] thinking is directed towards bringing about [healthier] changes in [regenerating] ideas through [positive nutritional heuristic-empathic] insight restructuring
[Poetic-operatic-epic stories change us, create us, recreate us
when they articulate incarnating truths
with both mindful and emotive beauty,
just as my own ego story
changes my ecopolitical motivations,
ambitions, hopes and fears,
and ecological empty LeftBrain absence of Elder RightBrain interdependence,
revolving integrity’s potential toward internal/external climate health.]
[Bi]Lateral thinking is directly concerned with [ecoconsciousness] insight and with [Earth-fed] creativity.
But whereas both these processes are usually only recognized after they have happened
lateral [RightBrain proportional/symmetrical feeling] thinking is a deliberate way of using [analogical] information in order to [predict, impregnate, implicate, negatively correlate, co-arise, revolve, regenerate, resolve] bring them [us] about.
In practice lateral [yin-Right] thinking and [yang-Left] vertical thinking are so [Tao (0) sum-soul-core-primal] complementary that they are [embryonically] mixed together.
Nevertheless it is best to treat them as distinct in order to understand the basic [co-empathic attendant-trust] nature of [bi]lateral thinking [within bicameral ego/ecoconsciousness] and acquire skill in its [therapeutic] use.
This also prevents [thinking/feeling] confusion because the principles governing the use of [ecopolitically health v pathological] information in [bi]lateral thinking are quite different from the ones used in [more audio-visual language restricted ecological-analogical] vertical [LeftBrain bicameral] thinking.
It is difficult to acquire any sort of [nutritionally digestive] skill in [bi]lateral thinking simply by reading about it.
In order to develop such [learning to polypathically learn] skill one must practise [ecoconsciousness] and go on practising [more cooperative nondual mindbody ecopolitical health v pathology]
and that is why there has been such emphasis in this book on practice sessions.
Nor are [ecological] exhortation and [ecopolitical] goodwill enough.
There are specific [co-empathic trust] techniques for the application of [bi]lateral thinking.
The purpose of such techniques is twofold.
They can be used for their own [creative, regenerative] sakes
but more importantly they can be used to develop the [ecopolitically cooperative] habit of [therapeutic] mind[body]….
[Bi]Lateral thinking is not concerned with generating doubt for the sake of doubt
or chaos for the sake of chaos.
Lateral [bicameral regenerative] thinking acknowledge the extreme usefulness of [permacultural] order and of [polyculturally climaxing outcome] pattern.
But it emphasizes the need for changing [evolving, emerging] these to bring them up to [postmillennial] date and make them even more [climate of peace with EarthJustice] useful.
[Bi]Lateral thinking particularly emphasizes the dangers of rigid [premillennial competitive monocultural ritual] patterns
which the [Left]mind is so apt to construct
because of the way it handles [and dissonates] information.
[for efficient power-over
rather than healthywealth optimization
of ecopolitical power-within
our oceanic climate atmosphere
of bilaterally interdependent communicating trust thoughts
with co-empathic sensory feelings.]
JustUs Fundamentalists
Said the JudeoChristian Fundamentalist (JCF)
to the Islamic Fundamentalist (IF),
We began building our ego-nesting sensory receptors
learning to RightBrain distinguish Self from BenignOther,
sensory nomial v binomial fundamental bipolar trust/mistrust memory.
Corresponded the IF to the JCFs,
Ah yes, as we LeftBrain relate to integrate self-health
to and within radical-alien pathological distrust.
JCF: Yet YHWH made all of us
to mature in our capacities for self-health regeneration.
IF: And Allah never loses sight of fundamentally radical sensory nutrient ecologies
of and for regenerative DNA/RNA continuity cultural strings
of Self+GreatElderOther designing memory;
where exegesis of logic breeds eisegetical analogies;
co-ecological dialectals,
algorithmic analogs.
JCF: Where we find absence of active love,
cognitive/affective dissonance,
between trusting RightBrain and mistrusting Left,
we learn hyperactive monoculturally stressed distrust
of a jealous god within.
IF: Yes, don’t we?
A feverish emotive hatred
concomitant with anger/fear motivated belief systems,
stirring up holy revenge for marginal powers of mere EgoMe
and further cycles of concomitant terrors.
Meanwhile, Nature/Spirit Gods and Goddesses of Earth’s ReGeneration
predict a multicultural bicameral coup
of great and small co-empathic trusting revolutions
emerging our climate of ecological nodus,
difficulty of difficulties,
climate sin of omitted climatic sins,
dissonance about transitioning dissonance,
fear of fear ourselves,
distinction of prime relational difference
between positive language for ecopolitical health
and negative aversions to verbal and behavioral pathology.
Alas,
I am a simple Taoist
trained to always choose
All the Above
as Below,
so what might we know together
enough to find our better humors?
It is when we can laugh together at our shared fears
that we know we have conquered them
more than they could ever conquer us
together
Within as Without our Polypathic Nodus,
where dissonant shockwaving chaos of Ego’s revenging terrors
meets and greets and struggles with
complex waves of Earth’s all-absorbing laughters.

Death’s Double Boundaries
I would ask Earth to not so relentlessly unwrap Her timeless dark veil.
Yet what risk of depressing our healthiest outcomes
should wishes always incarnate
restless religious and political empire-building dreams
of anthro-omnipotence?
Why could mortal incarnation
not emerge from immortal timeless Elders
like infancy coarising through final notes
of pregnant requiems,
like Earth regenerate born
of degenerating Sun’s warm embryonic womb.
I would ask timeless passage from this fertile time
unfolding between my history
and EarthTribe’s future therapeutic cooperators,
logistical statements following ecological principles
as variables are notnot constantly
internally stretching toward ecosystemic nature/spirit balance.
I had feared Earth might not so flirtatiously unwrap
Her dualdark coarising veil of Time’s great revolutions
within each Ego,
within each species,
within each Space,
time binomially unfolding
dipolar boundary issues
pointing their wu wei toward more resonant resolutions of eco-abundant life
as ego-absent death.
