I Wonder

I wonder
if our Naked Emperor
would recognize an authentic hoax
if he were looking in a mirror

And, further reflecting on that,
I wonder if this Naked Emperor would recognize
what really is our greatest threat to national security
while still gazing at himself
in the legacy mirror
of future history.

Positive Political Psychology

I wonder if win/win game theory might positively correlate
positive neuropsychology
and healthy environmental relationships.
Does this too facilely root anthropological thriving cultures
within a Whole Earth ecology of climate health?

Intersections of sociology and psychology are academically commonplace.
I have a friend with a doctorate in social-psychology.
From this social/individual combined view,
we might not expect a healthy, democratically inclusive, social environment
to produce an unhealthy, autocratically exclusive, elitist anthropocentrism.

All adult humans have experienced both political-psychological elite and non-elite childhood memories;
empowered as compared to younger children, at least,
and unempowered compared to adult authority.
Unwealthy, unstraight, unwhite individual neuropsychological experiences
reinforce empathic capacity for associating non-elite inclusive multicultural political values
with democratic health
and dissociative elite exclusive monocultural political disvalues
with autocratic pathology.

Social/economic disinvestment and politically disempowering experiences further reinforce non-elite neuropsychological trauma triggers, including histories of
emotional neglect
verbal abuse
bullying
dissociative prejudice
lack of felt associative regard.

Longing for power advantages of those socially/politically trusted
for demonstrating vigorously healthy compassion values
may be a universal neuropsychological experience,
and yet more deeply impressed
for those with attenuated histories of feeling peaceful
contented neurosystemic belonging.

We can all, elite and non-elite, extend neurosystemic capacity
to empathize with organisms vulnerable to dispassionate and discomforted
disempowered margins of democratic health positive neuropsychological values,
as virtuously favored
rather than viciously disfavored
autocratic unhealthy negative neuropsychological disvalues.

Individual neurosystemic lives chronically confined to dissociative non-elite boundary issues experience higher vulnerability to both authoritarian and anthropocentric disempowerment triggers, from others and from within;
higher anxiety risks in response to disempowering oppression,
feeling repressed, mistrusted

With multigenerationally inherited psychological roots
in chronic paranoia about surviving elite-autocratic abandonment
in an anthropocentrically competitive economic and political
win v lose,
right v wrong,
polarizing unhealthy ecology of dissociative disvalue
dispassion
chronically triggered neurosystemic displeasure.

By contrast, positive correlations between socio-political thriving
and neuropsychological health,
explored in the positive social-psychology paradigm,
could become dipolar appositionally articulated as
Therapeutic v Traumatic Interior NeuroPsychology
AND
Democratic v Autocratic Exterior Political Ecology

This bilateral paradigmatic lens might recognize individuals empowered by positive neuropsychologically healthy
multiculturally inclusive values
are positively correlated
within an environmental climate
of politically and economically empowered anthropocentric elites.

A Whole Organic Earth associative worldview
may neurosystemically empathize with more marginal non-thriving victims of autocratic elites
vulnerable to ecologically dissociative health risks
of chronic social-psychological neurosystemic trauma.

Non-elite social-environmental political status
chronically darkens and fades into vaporous margins
of both Self and Other dissociative depression
as our economic and political distrust perdures,
cancerously producing neurosystemically disturbing paranoia
co-arising mental distress within
and failure to thrive physical distress
feeling non-competitive,
non-elite
without social-political value without.

When I awaken in the morning, sometimes I feel anxious,
maybe about insufficiency of time

Not anticipating this day’s potential for empowering healthy relationships
or gratitude for more economic fruition than destitution.

At the end of this day
will I feel more like I have been struggling against environmentally toxic
dispassionate
and unhappy autocrats,
or struggling with how to contain and sustain anticipating more extended healthy
ecologically cooperative
compassionate
and thriving organically neurosystemic democrats
feeling
and smelling
and deeply listening
for ever-expanding neurosystemic ecopolitical trust?

Do I wake up to another autocratic elite-defensive competitive day
seeking advantages by disempowering less elite needy others
or co-invest compassionate neuropsychological abundance
with democratically trusting
compassion neurosystemic wealthy
ecologically healthy pleasured others?

Psychological and political healthy values
are drawn to democratically robust abundance
for multiculturally co-empowering all organic lives
by letting go of paranoid anthropocentric elitist baggage
of 0-sum WinAnthroMind v LoseEarthBody
disempowering autocratic defensiveness.

Both the psychological and political problems of LeftBrain Either/Or polarizing dominance trace back to two source-roots.
In science, regenerative Win-Win evolutionary thrival trends favoring cooperative organic natural values have been unmathematically presumed less successful than Win v Lose survivalist norms under high-stressed environmental imbalance conditions.
What is ecologically normative cooperation has been psychologically and economically and politically usurped by a model of evolution that assumes ecological health is rooted in anthropocentric elitist dominance of economic wealth v ecological health.
Were this the actual historical case, then we have no way of explaining how natural relationships could evolve into self-regenerative organic systems of memory and increasing co-empathic communication;
co-intelligent democratic integrity.

The other root source goes back to the origins of religions as co-empathic trust in sacred powers.
Human neurosystemic nature favorably responds to active faith in passion-mind and pleasure-body nondualistic powers as benign, pronoia, non-violent communication health values; and not dissociative, condemning, vengeful, greedy autocratic, anthropocentric disempowering disvalues.

The gods and goddesses of love have always fertilely engaged cooperative empathic trust in Earth’s democratically interdependent regenerative future.

The demons and unkind gods and unfertile goddesses of condemnation, too often re-enacted by tough-love parents, and monoculturally xenophobic politicians, and 0-sum devolutionary economists and anthropocentric capitalist value assumptions,
provoke further non-elite neurosystemic trauma about our unenlightened and disempowering inadequacies within,
and further anthrosupremacist-monotheistic theology rather than regeneratively cooperative organically sacred ecology.

To paraphrase Buckminster Fuller,
geopolitical wizard of synergetic systems theory,
it is easier to become a neuropsychologically healthy humane cultural organism
when we live in a democratically wealthy,
polycultural climax-anticipating,
compassionately communing climate.

But, for most of us mere mortals,
that is a lot to wake up to positively anticipate
on a chilly pre-dawn morning.

Positive Politics

I am aware
we have a growing conservative academic position
that political science
becomes too didactic for scientific neutrality
when political scientists are too pro-liberating democracy
v pro status-quo theocracy,
plutocracy,
autocracy,
kleptocracy, etc.

too delusionally enthusiastic about economic
and sociological
and neurological health meritocracy

too positive about win/win co-empathic trust
as our best and brightest eco-political polypath
toward subjectively advocating for:
polytheistic/monotheistic co-liberating faith
polyculturally positive hope
and resonantly polyphonic love.

It does seem that this conservative political skepticism
bites the liberal education system that has fed them,
put probably uncontaminated food on their deregulation tables,
paid their gated suburban mortgages.

As conservative academic views
Trumpian turn toward military-industrialized advocacy
of second amendments to a better dead
than not-red constitution
for national corporate monoculturing greed
and irreligiously anthropocentric monotheism

I nervously notice that patriarchal conservation
of straight-western-white corporate
monocultural colonizing traditions
have become rather too comfortable
with a disempowering and unenlightened monstrous
win/lose 0-sum evolutionary survival hypothesis
that therapeutic and medicinal sciences best remain neutral
about climates and cultures of healthcare,
compassionate kindness,
and neurosystemic win/win peace,
while growing rabidly dissociative tolerance
for conserving anthro-entitled pathologies

such as divesting of international healthcare
environmental safety
secure and effective home and life prosperity
and vaccinated domestic defense systems.

My idea of scientific neutrality takes a Positive Psychology position
that terrorism and fascism and racism,
like narcissism and anthropocentrism and nihilism
and monoculturing patriarchal anti-feminism
and monopolistic winner takes all capitalism

And other forms of neurosystemic
and ecosystemic trauma,
no longer seem political-choice neutral
about effective and healthy governance
when conservative educators and advocates
are choosing peaceful and non-toxic residential climates
and cooperative family co-investment economies
and federal/state cooperative tax revenue associations.

Exceptions to this win/win co-governance golden rule
might be political and economic scientists
who enjoy teaching
while parenting macho-tyranny within their own troubling
autocratic fear- and anger-mongering homes
plutocratically gated neighborhoods
dysfunctional polarized school boards
and disturbing town non-dialogical non-councils.

Truly objective political health standards
can be explored and discovered through subjective neutrality
and yet conclude that nihilism
is not an effective neurosystemic governance strategy
just as denialism
cannot achieve efficient ecosystemic stewardship capacity.

I look forward to a more cooperatively graced
co-intelligent bicameral meritocracy

nominating and electing
and rewarding and preferentially selecting
effective democratic healthcare scientists
co-passionate policy designers
religious and public sector leaders
of polyculturing inside/outside climate therapies

Having win/win engaged bipartisan kindness
isn’t win/lose apartisan meanness,
and presented a well-documented commitment
to co-empathic liberating-mind/conserving-body nondual trust
in therapeutic evolutionary merits
(not devolutionary demerits)
of neurosystemic co-operative enlightening
and ecosystemic empowering
woke up political consciousness.

Primal Voices and Choices

Paranoia feeds on dark roots.
In full bloom, everything and everyone that happens against me
happens for a sinister conspiratorial reason.
This is my felt conjecture,
to which I respond
by struggling against trust
in Other’s monopolistic monocultural Wins,
so I might survive to tolerate
yet another scrappy day of paranoia.

Pronoia feeds on everything and everyone
not out to get me
but more in to let me
happen for a blessed season
with which I am invested to resonate,
including my fair share of struggling with,
but not against,
my WinLose enculturation
so we might thrive to mutually WinWin
yet another multiculturing
polypathic
Beloved Community Way.

This is our primal ecopolitical choice,
Both-And over Either-Or,
made each moment in time’s evolving articulation
deep learning incarnation
of days and nights
within this not-paranoia and not-pronoia
in-between identity,
risk with opportunity
conjectural life.

Conservative LeftBrain Either-Or
sees a bipolar world
of either I am saved
or demonic,
either I am part of the solution
or part of the problem,
either I am True
or I am False,
only pretending to be True
to get you to become False.

Liberating Elder RightBrain Both-And
fluid feelings
multi-sensually engage in a dipolar EarthTribe
in which I experience pronoia on healthy days
and paranoia on more challenging days,
I am an integral and authentic organic part
of EarthTribe’s living win/win resolution
and part of an irreligious ecocidal global problem,

I sometimes feel unconditional warm regard
with peak win/win opportunities to Trust
and usually also feel win/lose risks of MisTrust
and occasionally paranoid panic
with deep dissociative valleys
of shadows
of death,
lose/lose despairing DisTrust.

But, even should this become bipartisan political science,
bicameral neuropsychology,
bilaterally conjectured co-intelligence,
let us not delude ourselves into a hypnotic state of academic neutrality,
ambivalently pretending either choice is equally healthy,
when ecocidal outcomes are so clearly etched in patriarchal bones
of troubling dissociative history.

Love’s mutual promise clearly points toward evolutions
embracing elegant polyculturally resonant
healthy democratic systems furthering win/win wealth,
while paranoid fundamentalist God v Man terror
degenerates toward further traumatic pathology,
afraid of our own anthro-suprema-cast
dark blaming mind v shameful body

Conjecturing fundamentally irreligious
punishing
paranoid shadows.

What Earth didn’t mean to say:

Critical Race Theory

My problem with Critical Race Theory is that, unfortunately, systemic racism is not theoretical; it is experiential, behavioral, measured, and quantified.

Calling systemic racism a “theory” is a disparaging and dishonest strategy because racist event and patterns of relationship and non-relationship are not merely theory; nor is systemic racism rationally reduced to an as yet unproven explanation for historical events. Neither critical nor chronic caste-specific prejudice, nor marginalized v elite power analysis are merely theoretical, contingent, not yet fully vetted hypotheses awaiting confirmation, or lack thereof. Scientific method has been multiculturally applied to caste-based economic and political non-elite v elite experiential data.

Analysis of experience is not theory. Race differential analysis may be premised on a positive and/or negative hypothesis about discriminatory effect, bias, prejudice, caste alliance, multicultural health, and/or monocultural pathology, scarcity or abundance of positive v negative relationships, differential measures of trust, empowering and/or disempowering intent, but none of these hypothetical predictions about measurable relationships remains abstractly theoretical; removed from quantified experience.

Critically analyzed hypotheses may come from deeply interconnected or special case theoretical roots. Systemic racism has emerged from economic and political caste hierarchical systemic relationships statistically significant. Profound differential power and investment opportunities have been unequivocally established. Cooperative and/or competitive power predictions reflect multicultural cooperative thick and competitive thin investment relationships.

To believe that racist attitudes are merely personal prejudice, not responsive to deep and widely learned social systemic constructs, is equivalent to believing that all cultural perceptions remain free of historical sensory-neural experience. All observations, consciousness, analyses, theories, experiences, hypotheses rely on an integrated empowering neuro-sensory organic SYSTEM.

A shared language system is rooted in a deeper and wider communication system. Communication is biased toward positive as multiculturally robust health. Negative communication is to active distrust as absence of communication is neurologically associated with mistrust outside one’s own monocultural received view. Trust issues are neuro-sensory systemically understood as pathological; not positively healthy.

Critical race dialogue requires a nonviolent communication system characterized by compassion, in order to become more resonant across caste-based dissociation, blocking resonant relationships that could, at least theoretically, transcend past deeply held distrust and mistrust of systems supporting patriarchalism, capitalism, and racism.

Today Is Different

Today is assiduously
religiously different,
as I review our local RiverEast News.

Every week
Mike Thompson writes a solid Editorial
in a compelling voice.
I expect to only add
my hearty sacred
happy secular “Amen!”

Our nearly fearless Editor and Chief
calls for political “ACCOUNTABILITY!”
like so many others on bipolar Left through Right,

And those still hanging on
with battered nails
to quickly fading dipolar
in-between HAVE-NOT
anthrocultured primacy race
and HAVE
cash class
co-empathic consciousness
that renters and owners need each other
like borrowers and banks
yet feel as competitively apart
as victims and predators,
droning prey and patriarchal colonizers

Insurrectionists,
nihilistic HAVE-NOT anarchists
military industrialized
invade our sacred capitalistic space,
so now, I read,
“there needs to be
accountability.”

I do not disagree, BUT…
AND would you not agree
our shared future will be healthier,
and co-investing wealthier,
if predators claim their own responsibility
for exceeding civil and civic
democratically cooperative authority
through more slow-grown discernments

Rather than passionate placards
preferring hot
and sometimes armed
debate
drama
extraction
capture
imprisonment
enslavement
debacle
bacchanalia,
angry selfie Theater

Fueled by manufactured Bud
more than ancient cannabis buds.

Our angry Editor
lashes nationalistic Republicans out of town,
especially the transcendently unEarthly
Vice President Pence,
praying for “healing” and “unity,”
and not even close enough
for government work
invoking a sacred benediction
through end of term ACCOUNTABILITY!
of blind justice,
thus retributively more equitable
punishing non-mercy
served against irresponsible
angry words
and violently desecrating actions.

Interesting,
I also hear President Biden
passionately praying for “healing” and “unity”
Unity
Unity,
and more silent about punishing justice
held up to public scrutiny
of LeftBrain dominant, Accountability–
not so much RightBrain felt prominent,
CoResponsibility.

Retributive justice of Accountability
is for punishing
the autonomously guilty.

Restorative justice of CoResponsive
Responsibility
is for healing,
and resiliently lasting,
peaceful,
healthy interdependent unity

By divesting of autonomously unEarth-responsive
economic anthrocentric capital gains
and politically privileged responsibility
of patriarchal
capitalistic
military-industrialized
corporate empowered monoculturing supremacy,
anthro-irresponsible intent.

Why is it,
Mr. Editor,
I wonder wander
as I moondrift flow along,

Why is it more important
or realistic
or essential to punish
before moving on to heal:
to set apart and imprison,
to judge
and shame and blame,
before reconsidering unity
through faithful
multicultural dialogue?

This military-first preference
seems to reflect Chief RedCommander
inciting rhetoric
echoing Hitler’s strengths
of hate and violence
and deadening threat
of powerful justice
developing full-throttle
exclusively through our patriotic
overpowering position
of autocratic STRENGTH!

To hold the Alien EcOther
revengefully Accountable.

Actually,
as I dimly recall
my own unfortunate experiences with punishment
and healing warmth restoring healthier wealth
of personal political empowering responsibility,
nonviolent communication
includes inviting proactive practice
of compassionate therapy
through restorative justice,
pursuing multicultural pace
of EarthPeace,

More polytheistically matriarchal
than monoculturally
LeftBrain soulless solely Accountable
for missing opposite experience opportunities
more typically therapeutic
and conveniently,
even co-responsibly,
CoOperative Truths
building healthy democratic Trust.

I’m thinking I learn more powerfully
not from Strength, but uncapitalized weakness,
fluidity,
both/and nuance,
empowering eco-political responsibility
and disempowering ego-individual accountability,
publicized felony revenge
and misdemeanor scorn

Distract from wider experience
deeper Light
by exploring my own disconnected woundedness
evolving lonely feelings of win/lose mortal brokenness

Past failures in responsive civil commitment
to cooperatively hold
and cherish democratic sacred space
at home,
reading the weekly paper,
and WholeEarth abroad,

Rather than my boldest debates
to strongly compete in high risk
armed and violent communication confrontations,

Alarming punitive messages
using win/lose weapons of strong obfuscation,
which are irresponsible,
demanding that EcOthers be held apartheid Accountable
for lack of healthy healing,
cooperative unity,
co-governing skills for building
resiliently healing
trust-struggling
ongoing inclusive dialogue
relationships,

Religiously essential
to any healthy democratic
natural and/or spiritual experience,
constitutional
and/or familial,
anthro-centric
and/or eco-systemic health restoring,
globally political

of ecofeminist
