The title of this talk today,
“Win-Win Politics of New Feminist Economics”
suggests questions,
more than emasculating
definitively deductive
reductive
answers.
Would you imagine
a minority-identified Buddhist,
more likely as a feminist
or culturally comfortable
with political and economic Left-brain domination,
monopolistic-competitive enslavement?
How would you compare broad cultural trends
between East and Western language
on a feminist v. Left-brain monopolistic dominant spectrum?
Which might be more ego-centric,
and which would you expect to be more eco-centric?
Where would you expect to find more
competitive v. cooperative economic support structures?
Which would you expect to be more family-tribal-clan oriented
and which more individualistically ego-oriented?
Which more anthropocentric
and which more nurturant of all life centric?
Who is more likely to be a feminist-cooperative economist,
a Permaculture Designer
or a Political Party Platform Developer?
Why do you imagine our world in this comparative
relative
way?
As a cooperatively intended illustration
of discovering political relativity
within an economic bicameral lens,
let’s compare our sacred colleague Charles Eisenstein’s
description of “The Growth Imperative”
with a bracketed revision
which might be entitled “A Regenerative Imperative.”
This, not to suggest disagreement,
but to suggest dipolar co-arising confluence
through using both Left and Right lenses of consciousness:
“Abetted by technology, the commodification of formerly non-monetary goods and services has accelerated over the last few centuries, to the point today where very little is left outside the money realm.”
[Abetted by double-binary balancing technology,
the decommodification of newly-commodified goods and services
is accelerating
over these last few decades,
to the point today
where surprisingly little is left
monopolistically
inside the overly competitive quantification of value realm.]
“The vast commons, whether of land or of culture, has been cordoned off and sold–all to keep pace with the exponential growth of money.”
[Our Commons of land and culture
and genetic-holonic individuation
continues ego- and anthro-centrically self-strangling
through dispossession of cooperative ownership–
all to keep pace with
the exponential monopoly of quantifying-reductive value,
distorting nurturant health as core-wealth.]
“This is the deep reason why we convert forests to timber, songs to intellectual property, and so on.”
[This is the deep ecology of why we permaculturally harvest forests
for timber,
culturally nurture songs toward cooperative intellectual property,
and so on,
yin toward yang balancing evolution.]
“It is why two-thirds of all American meals are now prepared outside the home.”
[It is why two-thirds of all American meals
are now less nurturantly prepared
outside our under-valued
nutritionally-potentiating organic homes and lives.]
“It is why herbal folk remedies have given way to pharmaceutical medicines, why child care has become a paid service, why drinking water has been the number-one growth category in beverage sales.”
[We, together, are why herbal folk remedies
could further enrich pharmaceutical medicines,
from which they originally derived,
why child care has become a paid
yet under-valued
service,
why bottled and labeled drink of nature’s primally flowing health
has become the number-one competitive growth category
in what used to be
the Commons egalitarian river-flow of life.]
While we each have internalized theories
about what positive and negative correlations
we evolve between Left-deductive dominant
v. feminist-egalitarian values and disvalues,
co-relations only recently occurred to me
as what co-operative political assumption
feminist-ecologist-economist culture
may share as ubiquitously as individuated DNA
co-gravitates toward universal RNA syntax.
Buddhist, and Taoist, philosophy
calls dipolar correlations
“dependent co-arising”
while scientists may share this same principle
of thermodynamic,
electromagnetic,
and gravitational
co-elliptical curve-linear temporal balance
“endo/ecto-symbiotic evolution.”
As inclusive theoretical physicists
and mathematicians
and statisticians
we might re-member political mutuality
of species evolution
as co-relation,
co-operation,
coincidental trend emergence
between two or more
interdependent dipolar-articulating trend variables.
Buckminster Fuller
labeled his entire geometric metaphysics of consciousness
and ecological development
after this primal principle
of interdependent co-arising “synergetics,”
steering
and re-ligioning
and re-cognizing
synergy is to physics
as love is to metaphysics,
and perhaps economics
and eco-logic,
health and well-being,
co-operative Positive Psychology,
design and development ethics and organic health/wealth outcomes,
which begins to feel
like ethical policy development,
useful for a healthier political
and conversational
and familial
and ego/ecosystemic
balancing process.
Where I did not anticipate discovering
mutually-dependent co-arising cooperation
was in the Prime-Origin field of Cosmology,
although a cursory glance at mythology,
shamanic teaching,
taoist co-existential paradox of evolving Yang/Yin principles
within nature
inclusive of human nature,
predicating male/female functional co-arising
and natural balance;
these were all,
in hindsight,
significant clues saying
“please don’t be surprised
when you get to universally unitarian cosmology
as double-transparent co-gravitation of our Commons.
Dual transparency of Time
as Zero-dimensional negentropicentric space
bicamerally suggests
co-operative gravitational power politics and economics
lie at the (0)-Soul Core Prime Relationship
of our global Origination Story.
Interdependent co-arising revolutions
continue unfolding
into our political lap
during this endangered
Cooperative Transitional Generation.
