OldYear Burnout

Burnout
is what can come of inspiration,
if you’re not careful.
Gish Jen

Degeneration
is what can follow manic fast-growth regeneration,
if you’re not well-seasoned.

War and terror
can come from tribal competitions,
peace and freedom fighting and squabbling
for healthy food and water and fuel,
if you’re not co-empathic enough,
double-bound Win-Win equivalently bilateral
secure,
conservational,
restorative co-messiahs,
bodhisattvas,
eco-yogis
noticing and stretching
designing and cooperatively networking,
dancing and singing.

Hate and anger and fear
are what can come from love and faith and hope,
if we’re not health care receivers enough,
and cooperative givers-forward,
co-investors of and for HealthCare,
filling toward CareFull with Humble Gratitude,
both Ego-Eco Logists
Logos of health systemic trends,
as contrasted against
social and ecopolitical and personal Loser NonElite pathologies.

Zealous fundamentalism
is what can come from counter-cultural radicalism,
if you’re not listening to karmic grace
multiculturally enough.

Fascism
is what can come from NonElite exclusionary democracy
if you’re not grateful for WinWin creolizing therapies
and humble about past retributive colonizing traumas
enough.

Jihad terrorism
is what can come from too-divinely supremacist inspired
retributive injustice
if we are not HealthCare ecologically inclusive enough.

Holocaust
is what can come from Paradise Lost
if we are not listening cooperatively enough
to both internal landscapes
and external climates for ecological health.

LeftBrain Burnout
is what can come of SacredElder RightBrain inspired
NewYear EcoLogical Resolutions,
if you’re not careful.

PoliSciences and MultiArts

This question rises
from poli sciences and humane arts,
Is democracy ecologically healthier
than monoculturing theocracy,
than totalitarian anti-democracy?

Raising ghostly reminders
that food is also objectively neutral,
lying midway between good food
and junk food,
nutritions
and toxins.

And climate change
also lies midway
in-between climate polyculturing health
and climates of monocultural pathology.

And healthy mind-bodies nondually ourselves
also lie between
good humored health
and bad and angry and terrorizing lack of health.

Where we draw our Tipping Point lines
and marching squares of advocacy
and circles of co-operating conspiracies
between egosystemic humane nature
and eco-centric Earth nurture
feeding in as out,
growing polycultural productions
by shrinking monoculturish dominating consumptions,
these are each (0)MidWay Core
wu-wei
regenerations with degeneration recycles,
growing good wealthy civil democracies
by starving bad health supremacist plutocracies.

This response arises
from poli sciences and humane arts,
we each and all lie between and transubstantially across
radically benign democracy development
and reactionary anti-democracy demise,
disempowering dissonances
of multi-race
and poly-sex
and wealthy historic cultures
competing violence
without regenerative distinctions
that make holistic healthing
co-operatively non-violent
therapeutic differences.

Is my internal democratic cooperative governance
ecologically healthier
than nationalistic
supremacist
totalitarian
anti-democracy?

Original Freedoms of Intent

Do you see yourself as more Republican
or leaning more Democrat?

Oh my,
I’m a card-carrying Republican.
Came from a long patriarchal line
of red-blooded Republicans.

What makes you a Republican?
What is Republicanism, do you think?

Well…being against the Democrats, mostly.

OK.
I get that.
But, what are Republicans for
that Democrats are at least not in favor of
enough to give it sufficient priority
for you to feel economically and politically comfortable?

Republicans are Freedom Fighters.
Give us liberty or death.

Well, presumably we will all have both,
eventually,
but liberty for what,
freedom to what,
freedom from what?

Free markets
and freedom of religious expression
and free from terrorist and socialist threats,
to begin with;
freedoms protected by our Constitution
including its Amendments
and the Bill of Rights.

And presumably Democrats are, then,
for enslaved by regulation markets,
prescribed and proscribed absence of religious expression,
because they are all secret atheists anyway,
and more willing to accept terrorism and socialism
as part of Earth’s sick political and economic bounty,
and are, at best, ambivalent about freedoms
and values
asserted by Constitutional authorities,
including amendments,
defined by their Original Historical-Cultural Intent.

That sounds about right.

Would you agree that the Preamble
and the somewhat older Declaration of Independence
bear seminal weight
for establishing the Constitution’s intent
with regard to protection and promotion of freedoms?

Maybe.

Democratic freedoms
during our pre- through post-revolutionary period,
were originally defined by contrast
against a backdrop of economic and political plutocracy.
Our interdependent constitution as a free nation
composed of States with their own democratically intending constitutions
were statements that we would not be owned
nor tyrannically controlled,
taxed and terminated,
by royalty.

Freedom from plutocratic authorities lies within our U.S. Constitution’s definition
as a free union of democracies,
to live in interdependent cooperative freedoms
in which political authority’s boundaries
no longer exceed responsive economic co-invested co-responsibilities.
Which party would you argue
is more articulate about sustaining freedoms from plutocratic
centralizing
power trends and systems and ecopolitical outcomes
of jingoistic nationalism
that disguises triumphalism of the rich and powerful
becoming ever more rich and powerful?

Well, I’m not sure.
That would probably be the Greens
or the Libertarians.

And,
which party is more self-defined
as supporting regenerative interdependent responsibilities
to sustain future generations
of balanced democratic freedoms
from pathological plutocratic authorities
and yet growing freedoms to become responsibly,
nutritionally,
co-responsible nurturers and health-mentors
of and for Earth’s future cooperatively renewing
and self-regenerating
Commons?

That would be the Greens as polypathic PermaCulturists.

So, why aren’t you that,
instead of the card-carrying Republican?

Oh, that’s your easiest question yet:
Because nobody votes for the Greens,
and hardly anybody has even heard,
much less smelled or seen,
a cooperatively networking PermaCulturist.

Unless you count trees and plants and ecosystems.

But we don’t.
They can’t vote.

Or do they?

Extreme Unction

Today I have been comparing and contrasting Bernie Sander’s and Donald Trump’s political and economic motives
for seeking their respective Party nominations.

Senator Sanders and Chief Corporate Executive Officer Trump
began with intent to become The Nominee,
we might presume.
But is that it?
What would a win mean exactly
for our shared ecopolitical future?

Sanders seems more transparent
in response to these questions,
while Trump appears more articulate
about what he prefers to not lose.

Sanders,
going back to his decision to launch his Presidential aspirations,
hoped to influence his Democratic Party’s national political-economic nutritional depth
for stronger multicultural empathy-trust
and more effective investment
in global ecological health.

Did Trump possibly hope to influence the National Republican Party’s platform,
economic agenda,
in a surgically opposite insurrection?
To raise our mutual economic immunity walls
toward further monocultural,
monopolistic,
monochromatic outcomes?
To end democratic humane equivocation
between competitive economics as usual
defeating more cooperative ecological investment
of public dollars and imagination
to improve multicultural regeneratively flowing circulation
of Earth’s goods and beauties?

Sander’s exegesis of evolution
as “Might makes right.”
translates to
We mightily consider this
and we mightily consider that
to derive together more therapeutic balance.

Trump’s “Might makes right.”
is of the Either-Or Orthodox Tradition,
not Sander’s newer ecopolitical might
means maybe some of all of the above,
a more Dialectical Discernment Tradition
of strength through organic fluidity,
as contrasted to mechanical stasis.

From today’s perspective,
it appears the Senator,
while not having won nomination,
does point out specific ecopolitical Wins
within the National Democratic Party’s agenda,
which were significant to his original intent
for seeking nomination.

But, what about CEO Trump’s wins to date?
He won the nomination of the Republican Party
but has he thereby enjoyed greater,
or suffered lesser,
influence on his Party’s marketable platform?
Has he increased or decreased Republican political with economic coherence
toward a healthier-happier future
for richly diverse residents,
both those who can vote,
and those who have not yet even been born?
All those presumably future potentiating Republicans.
What legacy would Trump leave for the long-term health
of his favorite Republic’s future?

Did Trump, or Sanders,
enter the race for delegate votes
hoping to win the hearts and minds of our multicultural society
to a new post-millennial age of political and economic cooperation
inviting a more peaceful co-empathic climate of mutual trust
and co-investment in our polyculturing, evolving health
deepening,
resonating more powerfully flexible resolutions
to support these uniting states of mind and body
unto perpetuity?

Or was Trump or Sanders more clear about what he could not
and would not tolerate with humility–to lose
his ambitions for capital-centric egopolitical competition
to Win over Losers
not plutocratic enough to assuredly purchase his Party
not even positive enough to assure Republicans or Democrats
that God will smile again on those who have accumulated more
by giving back less co-investment.

In God We Trust
to hoard our mess
and health our co-invest.

Revolutions in Plutocracy

Those who get,
get more.
Those who want,
want more.

Evolution is not survival of the fittest species,
but thrival of the greatest fit with least endosymbiotic change required
within,
whether we speak of polycultural enrichment
or meta-paradigmatic revolutions in understanding multicultural enrichment.

Evolution is BusinessAsUsual (BAU) cooperative-dominant nutritional networking
between what were more autonomous,
monocultural,
mutual-immune suboptimally co-functioning coincidental subsystems.

Revolution is the emergence of a new (0)-sum co-empathic prime relationship
on the dual edges of diastatically pervasive abundance
throughout the implicated (coded, genetic, pre-embryonic) polypaths of Earth,
enculturing ever deeper, denser, more healthy, fertile, lush, lavish, gorgeous bilateral (0)-interest
temporally balanced
full-octave
thermodynamic resonance.

Great Transitional Revolutions
within normal BAU evolution,
favor, confluate, radiate, elate, co-arise
survival of the fittest species and individuals,
but not the fittest warriors, necessarily.

Past anthrocentric revolutions
like Taoism,
Hinduism,
Buddhism,
Judaism,
Christianity,
Islam,
nature-mystics one and all, at least embryonically,
science,
research,
theology,
teleology,
philosophy,
psychology,
metaphysics,
group theory,
game theory,
regenerative systems theory,
evolutionary theorems of great transitional revolutions,
recyclers,
repurposers,
reincarnators,
restorers,
nurturers,
farmers,
hunters and gatherers
reproduce nature-mystic analogical polypaths one and all.

These past revolutionary theorems and practices,
intents with organically benign purposes,
come to us from past anthrocentric revolutions
that have more often favored the fittest lovers,
most resonantly healthy cooperators,
peace and merciful justice family and extended family makers,
polypathic multicultural-loving thrivers.

PolyPathic Revolutions
seem to draw toward basic empathic-trust ecoconsciousness
of political relationships and economic transactions
as living on an edgy evolving spectrum
from ecologically healthy
to Earth-Other-Self pathological,
including internal Left with Right hemispheric reiterative bicameral discernment conversations.

YinRight has no language
but flows through co-empathic trust
or floods with anger and fear and hateful mutual immunity,
absence of pleasure through relationship.
Right flows positive as co-empathic trusting love of healthy ways
while Left functions optimally
with Left/Right BiCameral (0)-Soul Balance,
deductive with inductive
both-and notnot mutually immune coempathic,
need not devolve to reductive suboptimization,
and further trends of cognitively irrational dissonance.

Left-Deductive PowerWith-Yang: ConVex Exterior Landscape
Right-Inductive CoEmpathic (0)-Binomial YinYin: ConCave Interior Bilaterally Revolving-Resolving Landscape.

Why does this Plutocratic Revolution of Healthiest Riches
matter to anthro-polypaths of Left-Right Balance?

A theoretical application,
rooted in knowing that at least one billionaire
(Ted Turner)
has donated at least a billion dollars
to UN critical global services,
such as eliminating land mines,
feeding children,
preventing disease
(what about planting trees and feeding Earth’s topsoil?).

These have actually improved the quality of life on anthrocentric Earth.

What if all of us with retirement accounts,
what if all insurance and wealth-tax investments
were paid-forward as (0) interest loans,
one to five year deferred,
with flexible terms for repayment,
to convert these same critical global services,
now owned by political-economic elite service providers
to therapeutic cooperative ownership,
owned by their non-elite consumers and direct service providers,
who learn to pass along therapies and skill-sets received
to others in need of the same?

What if Donald Trump
suddenly remembered it is in our children’s children’s long-term healthy interest,
to convert all he owns to co-ownership of those who want to work
with cooperative ownership and self-governance.
Sharing wealth brings richer health.
Hoarding wealth only produces envious employees,
when we could secure cooperative healthy relationships of mutual integrity.
What kind of degenerate mentorship would this look like
as a public-sector leader of sustainable health and prosperous safety policies?

PolyPathic Plutocrats
might measure their wealth-networking skills
with the comparative happiness they feel
in their stomachs,
bicameral hearts and lungs and synergetic mindbody functions.
Eventually even billionaires figure out
that all the good food and booze in the world,
no matter how long and well we live,
goes in the same piehole,
all the sounds and sights come through remarkably similar minds as nondual bodies,
and all the poop and pee and vomit continue to emerge from exactly the same places as when we were penniless children.

Once you have enough,
more can only therapeutically come your way to reinvest in others,
to help you extend your consciousness of family responsibilities
with health and caring authority.

Those who want and get more for every mind and body,
get and want no more than sufficient for ego’s healthy body
loving mind.

Trump’s Plutocratic Party

Plutocracy–politics for, of, by, and with financial riches.

What does Donald Trump tell us
about what he expects for us and from us
in return for his personal investment
in national political/economic leadership?

In the past record
he seems to have expected to reduce the expenses of labor,
workers,
producers of goods and services,
to increase short-term financial benefits
to wealthier co-investors,
like himself.

If Mr. Trump has run on his past record
then why would workers,
laborers,
producers of goods and services,
much less prisoners and homeless and marginalized populations,
expect a change of game plan?

If he has asked us to anticipate a change of game plan,
then what does he offer by way of relevant experience
for any public office
intended to grow our long-term sustainable
healthy, happy, and reasonably good-humored, cooperative prosperity?

I suspect what lies behind this Trump Card’s motivation to win
is a significant private wager that he could buy this too
if he really wanted to.
But what he would do with such leadership
once won
would all be downhill loss
for Mr. Trump as for all his plutocratic friends,
their children,
and our children’s children.

Plutocracy could be democracy,
depending on whether we define wealth with healthy cooperative outcomes,
or do we continue with defining health as wealth-competitive outcomes,
and where we draw our ecological political-economic line
distinguishing between healthy wealth and co-arising greed
which breeds envy,
not further regenerative healthy wealth.
