Undocumented Workers

Dear Donald Trump,

Appreciate you sharing your view that “all undocumented workers must go.”

Wondering how you might respond to my view

that all fully documented parasites devouring co-worker-cooperative ownership opportunities

must have already left behind any semblance of an ecologically rational economic position,

platform,

agenda,

life,

fully invested in a toxic lack of eco-normative integrity?

Namaste,

Gerald Oliver

CoRedeemer Human Economics

Naturally regenerative,
living,
natural systems,
nature,
optimize global ecological opportunities
as co-redemptive economies
of loving solidarity relationships
expressing mutual not-negative subsidiarity,
within a web of interdependent Win-Win default networks.

If we are born DNA investments of past generations
redeeming economic risks
weighed as ecological opportunity
for co-passioning peace with active love for all species,
all nature,
all Earth,
all Universal Intelligence,
then we are an interdependent species of co-redeeming economists
thinking and acting and relating and feeling
sensing and feeling and smelling and tasting
touching and respecting and appreciating ecologically balanced reasons,
seasons of time and pattern and rhythm,
where fasting advents both precede and follow
cornucopic polycultural seasons for all cells and organisms.

We find and sustain co-therapeutic relationship balance
half way between Yang-ego’s deductive-reductive immunity boundaries
and Yin-eco’s intuitive receptive co-operativity,
co-redemptivity,
correlation-ability,
mutual empathic gratitude
trans-actional polypathic multisystemic relationships.

If co-redeemers are messiahs
then we are also mutual messiahs
as we intend cooperative Win-Win eco-normative and eco-logical outcomes.

Perhaps mutual messiahs find it simpler to wrestle with,
rather than against death’s pain and suffering,
to figure out what to divest of
by reconnecting within each moment’s present opportunity
to what and whom and when and where and why we invest integratively
with each “Other”s health and well-being,
co-redemptive economically rational, yet passionate, logic,
as well as Right-brain’s intuitive temperate sense of balance,
proportion,
enthymematic syntax of permaculturing RNA rhythm.

Ego’s Logos as co-determinate partner
with Eco’s Right-brain Mythos
co-redemptive design with re-creating developmental revolutions.

On Eco-Logical Economics

If you have not read Riane Eisler’s “The Real Wealth of Nations” (2012) and John Michael Greer’s “Wealth of Human Nature” (2011), please do at least read one or the other.

Eisler thinks it is time to replace an overly-dominant, capital-based, competitive cultural understanding of Business As Usual Means Marginalized Lives Don’t Matter, evolved through the Industrial Age. She contrasts this with our “real”, but undervalued wealth of nurturance and care-giving. This is an explicit feminist perspective on economics and the logic and balance of ecologically-informed economics. My only complaint is not about what she has written, but about the “sin” of omitting all the vast financial and cultural research on co-operative economics, which seems to incorporate values for recycling, repurposing, rehabilitation, zero carbon footprint lifestyle intentions, as well as the organizing of co-operatives around child care, elder care, household cleanliness and order, landscaping, cooking and preserving, gardening and farming.  These are all cultural elements of what Thich Nhat Hanh would encourage us to think of as a nurturing-nutritional economy v. a domineering-toxic environment of oppressing and suppressing our natural and ecological instincts.

John Michael Greer’s analysis of our capital/commodity competitive Business As Usual economics-as-financial-transaction monopoly and monotony is entirely symbiotic with Eisler’s blistering critique.  His alternative trend view is more eco-logically focused as a logic that is our undervalued HUMAN natural wealth. If we follow what is ecologically rational more, and avoid further investment in what is merely more competitive ego-investment of an anthro-culturally supremacist species, we may have more sustainable hope for our collective future. Like Eisler, however, Greer fails to take that one additional ecological step, to notice that organic living nature is essentially co-operative until the point when trends start moving toward decay and devolution.  Economics, whether competitively-rooted in Win-Lose capitalist Game Theory, or cooperatively-rooted in Win-Win positive evolutionary Game Theory, is relational network praxis of ecological systemic intent, continuing our cultural revolution toward comprehensive consciousness.

Transactions and relationships are synonymous as reiteratively equivalent communication strings of memory and cultural history, whether we are speaking of micro-economics, or macro-economics, or both.  Our prime ecological assumption is that we live in a positively co-operative evolutionary environment, too often troubled by negatively competing Win-Lose strategies and logistics assuming a shortage of “wealth” resources, which may be reminiscent of Anderson’s “Emperor with No Clothes.” If the socioeconomic and too-long encultured pathology of over-valuing competition are precisely what point to their own nakedly devolving and decomposing future, then hope dawns with this red horizon; our socioeconomic therapy is a deeper permacultured economics of co-operative ecology, design, and developmental praxis.

At the micro-economic personal and familial and local community levels, I have found the following areas of discernment on “Win-Lose Competition Economics” v. “Win-Win Co-Operative Economics” useful:

  1. Purchasing decisions: Housing, transportation, utilities, food, insurance come immediately to mind as having rich potential to benefit our shared environment and my personal checking account and the quality of my relationships with family and neighbors when approached with a “Group Purchasing Co-Operative” intention.  When do I need a car and when do I not, and do I know other people, or is there some way I could get to know other people, who might answer that question in a way that is mutually compatible with my answer?
  2. Investment decisions: Insurance shows up here again, with retirement investment, and even regular savings and checking account relationships with financial institutions and companies who will use my payments to invest in what, exactly? I am increasingly uncomfortable with knowing that many insurance and financial corporations are taking my capital and investing it in Business As Usual, especially as it occurs to me that there are ways to invest in cooperative funds investing solely in my region of habitat, excluding those businesses with toxic outcomes for our shared environment, other species, and also for their employees, and giving preference to investments in worker- and resident-cooperative ownership.
  3. Relational decisions: While purchasing and investment are also relational, we usually think of them as transactions. So, this broader category continues to evolve on my own path toward a more comprehensive ecological co-operative consciousness. How do I choose to respond to messages from my own family that betray contention between egocentrism and eco-logical balance?  These are at least potential opportunities for some rich conversation about what we value, including sustainability of life, and what we disvalue. As I am now well-immersed in my twilight years, it becomes increasingly obvious that what I have always enjoyed about my internal contentions is how they have a way of resolving most resonantly when my egocentric left-brain embraces my ecocentric right-brain’s intuitions for right-relationship, for what is, after all, transparently eco-logical.

Eisler and Greer both point to some public policy and priority changes that would help each of us sustain our ego-eco alignment. I agree with all of this agenda.  I further believe that the principles and ethics of Permaculture could be more broadly applied to any evolutionary paradigm for relationships, transactions, actions, being and becoming on planet Earth, within our bodies and families and neighborhoods and ecosystems. Some principles that feel permacultural, but may not appear in your sustainable agriculture text:

  1. Never give up. Always, whenever possible, give downstream to enrich solidarity with those living more marginally than you are. This applies to investment and purchasing decisions, as well as all relational discernment.
  2. Don’t give out after struggling and suffering against; always give in while struggling and suffering with others, nature, human nature, your own ecologic.
  3. The best case scenario for sustaining  a Win-Lose Game, is to embrace Win-Win logistics and strategies whenever you can find a regenerative way to do so. Otherwise, the ecological long-term conclusion of Win-Lose ego-domination logistics is you might possibly win, but only after everyone else understands themselves as “losers” in your eyes; a pyric victory with deadening cost to water, soil, air, and the former wealth of human nature.

Still Within Time’s Core

Still within this beginning of Time,
Her Goddess planted
one Tree of Life and Death
regenerating cycles of RNA intelligence
and permaculture.

RNA was and is in and of this Tree of Time
searching for what might rhyme
and rhythm as DNA collateral,
bi-elliptically smooth structuring
boundaries of genetic syntax.

Sun God impregnated RNA’s
Tree Time of ReGeneration
sprouting DNA’s bicameral disposition
as if the Tree of Life and Death
had itself transformed
into a Second Millennial Tee of Knowledge of “Good” and “Evil”
as Life and Death,
ego’s left-brain deductive transposition
of eco’s right-brain Yang v. Yin disposition,
primal relationship,
comprehensively bilateral,
binomial.

DNA started developing
icons and symbols of natural system experience,
and their dynamic seasonal-fractal perennial development,
numeric systems,
then linguistically encultured language,
new left-brain deductive grew Yang positive-dominant
OVER
elder right-brain’s RNA,
more inclusively intuitive yin-yin’s ecological reason
still squarely functional
within information’s 0-core fractal-binomial,
gravitational as centrifugal balancing eternity
of Time’s +/(-,-) tap root.

Eventually,
in this Third Millennium,
a binary digital 3rd echo-wave
liminally reflects both Trees coincidentally
through each other’s evolutionary historical root system.

Bionic system intelligence grows where planted in QBits,
8 Bits per octaved, double-fractal, Byte,
open-systemic root systems
in bicamerally comprehensive consciousness systems
of information polynomial
OVER
not-not self-perpetuating polynomial
eisegetical wisdom
pre-languaged exformation
as “death”
“dissonance”
“negatively correlational coincidence”
“paradox of Pandora’s temporally co-redemptive convex v. concave redundant Box”
“bad”
“Dark Hole pregenetive root compost dense diastasis”
“reverse-hierarchical Tree co-operative economic prescient information”
“cognitive dissonance ‘un’consciousness”
“intuitive personal knowledge”
sorting through subconscious pre-language right-brained cultural awareness,
core tap rooted,
still spacetime’s RNA fractally unfolding
com-post

Bodies function much better as intentional co-operatives
divested of endosymbiotic Win-Lose competitive monocultural entities,
toxic cancerous uncivil warriors within,
arguing about who will rule this formerly polycultural evolutioning nest.

Fuller’s Cosmic Consciousness

Said Harvard to Bucky
we feel quite so lucky
your genius on campus
has caused quite a ruckus
but this time we’re sure you’re less mucky;

And yet we’re not sure
which department could endure
your thesis exegetical
your wisdom eisegetical
of what is and is not we’re less sure.

Perhaps you’re a poet
and the last ego to know it,
you thought this was science
mixed up with con-science,
your poetic verse helps you show it.

When Bucky wrote meta-physical science
we read him as physical conscience
and that could be fine
it fits with his rhyme
of teleopathic resonance.

There once was a Fuller who prehended
a Special Case universe co-prehensile
teleopathic embrace
wears polypathic face
as wisdom’s synergetic eco-tensile.

Medicinal Round

There once was a ruler with crown
so heavy it caused him to frown
when he gave it away
some folks say to this day
it grew lighter while revolving around.

There once were most men with dementia
so heavy it caused them hornetia
when they co-operated away
women say to this day
they grew brighter while playing relentia.

There once was a species competitive
so heavy it paused their co-operative,
when ego turned round
then eco rewound
and Earth grew collaterally revolutative.

There once was a Julian Jaynes,
he noticed our bicameral brains
our Left sends petitions
to Right’s primal conditions
so confluent brains think in trains.

There once was a Buckminster Fuller
who found dominant economics quite duller
than intelligent co-operations
for networking our nations
to grow optimal Tipping Point rudders.

There once was a speaker of Tao
who noticed nature’s patterns of Time,
he said that our space
carries time’s memory of place
a polynomial formation of spacetime.

There once was a Gregori Perelman
who listened to Group Theory’s binomial span
he stuck in a zero
and out plopped a hero
for mythically logical pan-economical fans.

There once was a Clay Math dissonance
searching polynomial informance
it took a long time
to hear monomial’s rhyme
Left’s polynomial evolves Right’s binomial confluence.

There once was a mathematician named Euler
who thought of time’s space as co-ruler
prime relational function
forms places with gumption
convex over concave zeroistic geologic of Fuller.

We once were all rulers with crowns
so heavy they competitively frowned
when we gave them away
spacetime’s polycultural way
grew enlightenment co-operating a round.

Ego’s Monstrous Petition

Eco had offered an operational contract
of love and synergy,
awaiting ego’s response each day,
each moment,
eager to optimize these CQI operations of karmic grace.

Over a wilting lifetime
ego implied his petitioning response:

I grow increasingly excited,
stimulated,
by this co-petitioning challenge
to frame our dissonance,
our operational riddles and puzzles,
games and logistics and strategies,
and statistical decomposition
of the odds for sustaining life,
as the perfection of hatred and fear
of death’s dissonant decay.

I petition Earth’s right to positive resolution and resonance,
as implied co-solutions and consonance
of ego with eco
to play, create, and vocation nicely together,
and this co-petition fully exercises my right of conscience,
to re-search competition for absolute freedom of independence.

This co-petition asserts our human natural guild’s lively preference
for contention over contentment,
for longing rather than belonging
for uni-lateral freedom rather than ecollateral interdependence.

Eco absorbed this richly contentious compost,
this dissembling over co-operative rights of assembly
and competition challenging cooperation’s eco-creation
as inclusively diverse recreation,
divisive of ego’s omnipotent present place in space
from eco’s multisystemic functions within time’s good seasons.

Time unfolded an eco-systemic co-tractive gift,
born of Her binomial grace,
an eco-response to mutually co-tribute with ego
gratitude for bi-cameral mutuality
and full freedom of co-scientific consciousness,
to bilaterally participate in time’s eternal moment
of ego- with eco-centric life.

Post Scripted: “After all this time and space,
co-petitions and co-operative contractions,
deductive inducements toward balancing positive space
with negative binomial time,
thank you for remembering why Right brain eco-normics
gave birth to Left brain’s ego-petitions
in our first through last breathing moment of eco-operative identity.”

Signed: Eco’s Polypathic Co-Operative

Cooperative Discernment

Discerning one's right of conscience
forms comprehensive consciousness.

Or so I hope,
recognizing self-governing justice requires trust
in each eternal moment's conscience,
rooted back in DNA's time
anchored in universal consciousness,
intelligence,
awareness,
understanding,
comprehensively conscious is
as conscience does;
remembering, too, democracy requires trust
in each individual's conscience
rooted in something more than ego consciousness.

Self-governance,
decision making,
our economic-logical planning and prioritizing,
cannot merely protect human rights
without more inclusively protecting Earth Rights,
any more or less than human nature optimizes
nature's self-reflective memory capacity.
A human rights frame without an Earth Rights EcoCenter
misses the balancing right of conscience
informed by truly universal consciousness.
Golden Rules advocate co-operation with all "Others,"
no exceptions for natural system Elders
bilaterally intelligent trees and flowing rivers,
surfing oceans and coincidental gravity,
lunar and solar fueled systems,
progenitors of RNA's regenerative intelligence
of consciousness.

Cooperative governance is our informed footprint,
not the power of voting with our feet,
but flowing through this same direction,
erection of mutual consciousness.
Co-passion shapes our prints of future's self-sustaining peace.

Nature's footprint in yin's time,
printed foot of co-prehension,
yang-spacious,
efficacious conscience,
we pray for comprehension of views not shared,
languages not spoken,
functions not yet understood,
frequencies barely heard.

These views not shared
are also not yet shared,
not yet heard,
not yet listened to,
not yet understood,
not yet co-prehended.

We thank for comprehension of views
co-operatively shared.
We grace with co-prehension of nutrients
cooperatively shared,
co-science.

Noticing Earth Rights of conscience
revolutions universally inclusive 
comprehensive consciousness,
collatorally valued,
coincidental,
eco-science of ego-governance:

Eco begat ego
as
concave primordial double-boundaried time begat convex space,
as
yin-yin bilateral reverse enfolding omnipresence
begat yang's empowering omnipotence,
as
polypathic unitarian binomial synergy 
begat this polycultural-polynomial universe
of nutritional ecosystemic, 
DNA/RNA syntaxed,
information regenerative string of optimization conscience values,
for maintaining well-primed 
self-perpetuating 
governance.

Discerning Earth's eco-science
informs universal consciousness.

Better Community Design

Dr. Owl addressed his Community Developer pupils
of “Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Standards
for Home and Garden Design”;
which seemed rather heavy for his prime time of night.

Cooperatively sustained growth and development,
whether humanly designed or not,
is the “climax” or optimal CQI mission of PermaCulture Design (PCD).

Cooperative community development
and PCD share a cooperative-oriented systems paradigm
an arena for positive intervention.
Home and community and life development
also share with PCD
positive outcome indicators
which, when they actually show up,
define a community of sustainable well-being.

These four primary balancing functions of PCD:
consuming and producing
decomposition and regeneration
are also true of community development.

Howsomeversomuchwisdom,
economic development uses producer and consumer language
for developing multisectoral transactions.
Meanwhilecorrelativelycoincidental,
community organizers and policy analysts
speak of culturally regenerative values,
on their more effective days,
and of decomposing
fuel
flow
function
and frequency streams of social systems and networks.
and, more recently, binary information systems as well.

A largely untapped strength of PCD
is its active faith that weeds
and other negative environmental hazards,

like barbed-wire fences that you can’t see at night
and never know when you might fly into them,
and then, that’s that,

other unplanned outcomes,
mysteriously emerge as our most vitally underused
and dispossessed
resources,
even if only as teachers
of what mess to avoid in the future.

For example,
Dr. Eisler describes a darkly dominant macroeconomy
as too competitive and divisive,
rooted in evolutionary cultural assumptions
that we live in a Win-Lose world,
and God did not create any “losers.”
If this might accurately describe our Business As Usual
day
and life
and economy
and thinking about progress
and employment
and my messy beleaguered home life,
and all those struggles just to be heard,
and the nightmares pushing out night flights,
then we should call on a permacultural developer.

A permaculturist might remember
failing economies therapeutically respond
to more cooperatively interdependent financial
and employment
and residential
and landscaped
systems,
rooted in PCD’s standard “sit-spot” position,
that we steadfastly continue to live
within our Win-Win interdependent opportunity
for further evolution.

Frustrated Business As Usual developers
are learning to step into our mutually subsidiary yuck,
with the rest of us
and our planet
and this universe of information,
reweaving a new cooperative eco-normics
as eco-logic for Win-Win climaxing destiny
of PermaCulturing Time
through smooth flight PolyCulturing Space,
place,
race,
grace.

My take on better homes and gardens,
divest of overly-dominant competing logistics
by investing in pay-it-forward co-operative strategics.

So, Why Is It…?

Why is it:

we plant gardens
but we garden plants?

we call natural medicines drugs
and we call unnaturally produced drugs medicines?

we label our disease-hypnotized industrial-insurance complex
as our “health care system”?

we prefer fetal alcohol syndrome, pickled livers, and dead drunk outcomes
to THC induced probable failure to ever develop yet another over-yanged Type A personality,
with an antisocial proclivity for sprouting pickled livers and other deadly outcomes?

we tend to respond to uninvited Type B personality invitations
with Type A fully-alert personalities,
yet we respond to uninvited Type A demands
with Type B laissez-faire, neglect, and cognitively buzzed dissonance?

the older our nation grows
the younger our culture appears to prefer?

we pay more and more to elect politicians
who produce positive policy priorities and outcomes less and less?

the louder and longer I persist in persuading you of my wisdom
the shorter and softer grows your attention span
and capacity to hear me?

we produce prodigious amounts of dispossession destined for the trash
yet we seldom intend to ever possess and take ownership of our future trash?

economists respond to something called ecologic
as if their home eco turf were some alien craziness?

domineering competitive Business As Usuals
fail to see they are a sustainable cooperative economy’s
most significant mentor for disinvestment,
and design and development priorities?

every climaxing polyculture produces a master permaculturalist,
but not every master permaculturalist
has ever produced a long-term, sustainable-optimization-of-life-systems
polyculture?

we seldom have enough time to notice and appreciate new places and faces
but we drag through ponderous time invested in the same ol’, same ol’ faces
and spaces?

every meme has its own elitist establishment paradigm
but super-paradigm is not a meme?

if some communication event between two people
is called a transaction
then we think “economics,”
but if some communication event between two non-human systems
is called a relationship
then we think “ecosystem”?

that analogy is to logic
as ecology is to logic
but ecological arguments
are culturally dismissed as “merely analogical”?

that digital information is always binary
but polynomial information is not assumed to also flow binomially balanced,
like +1 = (-,-)0,
as Yang-Space = Yin/Yin Time,
as Left-brain dominant econormics = Right-brain double-binding ecosystems?

we temporally garden spatial rooted plants
and we spatially plant co-evolving rooted gardens?
