Democratization Problems

I suppose you might have missed out on Paul Feyerabend’s,
and especially Thomas Kuhn’s Problem of Incommensurabiity.

Oh, not at all.
I have not looked at science or culture
or language
or even your attempts at communication
quite the same since I ran across their big dilemma.

Interestingly,
it shares some dynamics with The Prisoner’s Dilemma,
in WinWin NonZero Game Theory,
but that is a mirror mapping story
for mutual neurosystemic acclimation
on some other, even more heady, day.

Put simply,
it appears that a term used within some theoretical framework,
at earlier Point A,
take evolution, for example,
may or may not evolve some incommensurable
not entirely equivalent with, to, for, from
the same term as it appears in a subsequent
Point B post-revolutionary framework
context
systemic communication network.

For example,
is what ‘YHWH’ meant to Abraham
an equivalent theological function
to what Jesus of Nazareth meant by ‘Abba’?

And,
what Darwin meant by symbiosis
may or may not be the same as what Jane A Gordon
might mean by symbiosis…

Not symbiosis, dear,
her word is ‘creolization.’

Right of course;
relentlessly flowing
extending
growing
so, let’s see

Darwin’s use of ‘evolution’
to designate some regenerative function within a bio/ecosystem,
may or may not carry the same meaning
as Gordon’s regenerative function
of evolution within eco-politically creolizing systems.

Terms may historically evolve culturally incommensurable functions,
within interdependent contextual paradigms,
especially between PreRevolutionary
and newer PostRevolutionary
paradigmatic frames of interdependent reference

Multiculturally reforming,
cooperatively reweaving,
looking for more inclusively explanatory paradigms
extending co-empowering
bilateral WinNew/WinOld commensurable
neurosystemic communication functions.

And so, my darling,
why is this your moment of epiphany?
Why are both virtually bloodless and bloody violent cultural revolutions
necessary precursors to an incommensurable meaning problem
rather than a revolutionary point of potential integrity
in-between a before v after

A before plus after
interdependent reincarnating process,
a bilateral Both-And
Win/Win integral frame extension?

Well, because then our empirically exegetical orthodox truth statements
may look more like an ever-changing great chain of co-arising feelings
becoming a dynamic trust v distrust neurosystemic framework,
more like a revolving-recycling, perhaps even spiraling,
potentially regenerative string
of interdependently meaningful v not meaningful events.

And, this is a nightmare for you because…?

What we have faith in as paradigmatic Truth
and the American Competitive Survival of Fittest Nations Way,
starts to look more like a democratizing creolization,
extending up and down from MotherEarth’s interactive equator,
rather than God the Heavenly UnChanging Father
beaming His divine light from the WhiteHouse Sacred UpperCaste Hill
to spread freedom and healthy sunshine of true blue

I mean…true red-meat theocracy
across this monoculturing USA,
submerging the inscription on Liberty’s Statue of Original Constitutional Intent
to the Cerebrally Pacific Centering Ocean,
surf sounds,
like breathing in-caste and out-caste,
in and out…

Well, honey,
if it’s all the same to you,
I’ll try to not get my panties in a not not knot
over this Commensurable Meaning Problem,
or evolutionary linguistic Acclimation Theory
against co-arising WinTrust-New v LoseTrust-Old
incommensurable dissonance issue.

Why don’t we just assume our trusting best,
and figure Kuhn’s win v lose Incommensurability
is also Gordon’s win+win creolization of polyculturing eco-politics.
You know,
just growing the historical evolutionary paradigms
out toward wider memetic trans-generational families
of trust virtues v distrusted viciousness?

Yes, here we are, page 163
She says “If unable to fashion genuinely universal theories,
creolization can help us to engage in universalizing thought…”

I think she might have more clearly said universalizing multicultural feelings.

She’s getting there.
Just hang on.

“…creolization can help us to engage in [multiculturing] thought
or that which facilitates seeking of [truth] concepts and [trust] aspirations…”

Meaning dynamic, maybe even healthy organic, cognitions
and their co-relationally felt virtues.

If you say so, dear.
…meaningful concepts and healthy aspirations
“with what Molefi Asante (1998) has termed
greater transcultural validity.”

Well, yes, transcultural,
but especially transcultural between a pre-revolutionary frame
and a post-revolutionary,
more stretching-out inclusive,
dipolar co-arising continuously nuanced frame,
if we assume both before and after empowerment v disempowerment
of mutual democratizing win/win regard
rather than all that territorial and theoretical “Either This or That”
and “Don’t you dare Both-And me on this one”
that puts our win v lose graduate students to sleep
unwoke,
especially right after lunch.

Yes, continuous win/win democratizing progress
does seem regeneratively implied,
and possibly in the Bohmian explicate-now/implicate-then sense,
as swelling well.

She continues,
if you could please refrain from editing…

Of course, dear.
Whatever will get us on to Tillich’s Problem of Supersessionism
the superfastest.

Ok, we continue,
“Moving beyond dialogue of respectful difference,
which none of us should denigrate,
we instead explore [re]creating ways
in which otherwise [discontinuous cognitive] fragmented accounts
of shared political,
physical,
and geopolitical [communication] spaces
could and do combine.”

Yes, exactly, it’s Kuhn’s Problem of pre- and post-revolutionary incommensurability
of language truth-meanings and felt trust-functions
all over again.

Why Kayko Hesslein didn’t use ‘commensurability’
instead of ‘supersessionism’ or, even better,
win/win ‘creolization’, I don’t know

It sounds like super-secessionism, I suppose.
Anyway, with that substitution of terms,
Hesslein claim’s Tillich’s creolization theology
of messianic redemption
would, if truly fulfilled in the Christ event,
invalidate Judaism’s capacity
to continuously deliver regenerative redemption
even just among the Chosen People.

What would Jesus say, do you think?

Probably to reconsider the creolizing
springing up and falling down lilies
and well-composted
bilateral before and after
wheat fields,
or paradigmatic frames,
or systemic contexts

Or the Win/Win
Gaia Hypothesis

Yeah, sure,
commensurable functions
of new wine and old water,
or whatever.

Peace-Making Game Theory

To paraphrase George Lakoff, and maybe Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi,
and maybe Julian Jaynes,
and possibly Gregory Bateson,
and Laura Brown,
and then there was systemic
co-passionate
Game Theory

Nurturing empathy is the only doorway through
wealthy LeftBrain Deductive
and healthy RightBrain Inductive
nondual co-arising communication

Whether the context is Win v Lose debate,
Either This EgoYangElite Or That EcoYin-NotYetElite,
or Win+Win YangCrown+YinRoot dialogue,
both competition and cooperation
rely on polypathic positive
and pathological negative
eumemic co-intelligence.

Some hybrid of Win v Lose LeftBrain verbal-cognitive
and Win+Win RightBrain nonverbal-intuitive
struggling oppositionally bipolar against
and/or streaming appositionally dipolar with

Positive anticipation
does not prefer struggling oppositionally against
consumed by WinnerMe v LoserThey survival strategies,
far short of co-empathic WinMe + WinWe
thriving co-relationships.

These two,
W(-L) and W(+W),
Y(-X) and Y(+Y),
U(-C) and A(+G),
1(-0) and 0(+1)
dialectical discernment evolutions
favor co-empathically trusting resonance,
compassionate pleasure plans,
resilient cobinary designs,
re-ligiously healthy policies,
therapeutic procedures,
democratic Original Intent
bicamerally co-intelligent

Friends unconditionally extending relationships
co-empathically trusted and trusting
as kind Kin

To regenerationally thrive
in Earth’s cobinary fractals of enlightenment

Mutual empathy,
not partisan enmity
is our constitutionally protected,
eumemically healthy democracy
trusting regenerative communication

Not mistrusting degenerative dis-communication
negatively
anxiously expecting further WinnerMe v LoserThey
survivalist anthropocentric presumptions,
protecting upper-caste privilege.

Follow Gaia’s Hypothetical light,
in ecological dialects
prefers following our most empowering
economic minds
and political bodies
back toward cooperatively healthy roots
and wealth-flowering crowns.

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.

IrReligious MisEducation

S/he is controversially counter-cultural

And yet,
MotherEartha defensively claims,
not so:

We grow trans-regenerational
transubstantiating substances
and subjects
to integrate more sacredly organic

Positive passions
re-connecting
re-membered past peak
pleasures restoring universal EarthJustice
and unitarian EarthMother peace.

I stand before you today
not to bury every conservative re-ligion
but to praise our natural SunGod history.

Rising from East
and setting West
indigenous mystery traditions,
re-ligiously enlightening experience
has always defended human longing
to more resiliently remain
in sacred peaceful relationship
with divine gifts
of enlightening communication
and empowering relationships.

Felt joy
mindful peace
and all fruits of holy
holonic
whole EarthMother Spirit

Symbiosis
synergetic body pleasures
consilient mind passions.

Authentic re-ligious communication plays
a win/win liberating role
within any polyculturally healthy democracy

Built on trust in positive
humane-spirit/divine-body nonduality
resonant communion experience.

Religion is culture’s project
to engage integrity’s passion-mind/pleasure-body potential

Not only for individual human persons,
not only for individual nations,
not only for democratically engaging societies

But
for all Earth’s interdependent web
of reconnecting
reweaving
restorative
re-ligiously transcendent integrity.

Religion
enhances polycultural wokeness
passionate awe
healthy wonder
passion/pleasure
to experience integrity’s potential communication
between human development
and SunGod’s divinely resilient peace,
one liturgical day
in revolving seasonal time.

And here
I pause to include re-communicating opportunity
for those,
like We,
whose YangGod of transcendent Love
is also Yintegral MotherEarth
of immanent pantheistic compassion,
timeless resilience,
spacious resonance

Win/win green-graced tears
without win/lose reddened fears
when we speak this language
of neuropsychology
and polyvagally therapeutic
re-associative health care.

Now, turning to a darker side
of RightWing dissociative
irreligious
desecrating secularization
of authentically integral re-ligious expression

Fundamentalism
is an abstract metaphysical word
that has lost its fundamental SunGod roots
in profoundly polycultural co-passion/pleasure
enlightenment.

“Fundamentalism”
has become an agent of irreligious apartheid
advocating restrictive monotheistic conformity
to LeftBrain verbally dominant texts
written
institutionally redacted
translated and reinterpreted
in monoculturing royalist traditions
of their patriarchal clergy time
and cathedral insider spaces.

Fundamentalism
is a secularizing
severing
apartheid
dissociative attack
fundamentally AGAINST
authentically integral re-ligious communication
and education

Rooted in neurosystemic passion/pleasures
we can only positively and peacefully integrate
within each present
continuously organic
love-life moment.

Fundamentalism,
including evangelical monotheism,
is anti-gospel
and profoundly inaccessible
to all organic creatures,
sacred creations,
not LeftBrain verbally dominant.

Our non-verbal
non-violent sons and daughters
could never experience HolySpirit fruits

Love
Joy
Peace
compassionate SunGod Understanding
Patience
Kindness
Gentleness
Faithfulness
Charity
Generosity
could not be manifest
in Elder RightBrain prominent populations
if the scripted constraints of evangelicalism
were authentically the one ReligiousRight Way
toward experiencing human/divine relationship.

Divinely inspired written instructions
are neither necessary
nor sufficient
to appreciate SunGod’s radically inclusive grace.

These positive feelings
and empowering Elder neurosystemic experiences
of resonant relationships
fill resilient communication days
of all non-LeftBrain abled species
and, perhaps, musical nights
without fright.

Evidence
perhaps explaining
why Evangelical “Christians”
and monotheistic fundamentalists
of all irreligious anthrosupremacist dogmas
are NOT known
“by their love for one another”
but by their active distrust
against polycultural
and polytheistic Others;
a reputation of pastor-induced
blindly patriarchal
miseducated
narrow-minded
short-sighted
autocratic triumphalism.

The damage that irreligious
LeftBrain dominant literalism
gracelessly perpetuates
against any remaining healthy peak experiences
of positive compassion-mind/pleasure-bodies,
including life-loving EarthMother’s sacred body,
is terrifying systemic RightWing trauma,
and irreligiously wrong,
missing SunGod’s enlightening mark.

We are angry
and horrified
about ecocide,
rapacious Earth-matricide,
about rabid anthrosupremacy
about evangelistic bullying
about spreading fear

absence of pleasure
and positive compassion
and hope for empowering sacred Peace,
or even deeply meaningful communication
between humane minds
and divinely co-invested
interdependent
inter-religious Bodies.

And yet,
even more demonically devastating,
those ensnared in fundamental blindness
to our cooperatively engaging inter-religious
EarthMother healthcare project
of re-engaging interdependent communications
(not apartheid discommunications)
are among Earth’s most lonely
emotionally impoverished
and self-isolating victims
of active internal dissonance
and external distrust,
leading to disrapturous global despair.

If our “religious” beliefs
suggest that we have more spiritual intelligence
and are aware of more divine inspiration
than a healthy happy puppy,
or a lily in a field,
or a sparrow

Then we have gone very dogmatically,
anthropocentrically,
and irreligiously
astray

which is neither humanely compassionate
nor divinely pleasant.

May our minds seek integral

May our passions together

Every SacredEarth Relationship Changes

  1. Everything changes and ends,

  2. Secularized anthrosupremacist life

    much less panentheistically cherished.
  3. Pain is part of evil loss
    and win/lose trauma,

    is part of degenerative
    dogmatic death,
    as e-v-i-l survivalism
    reverses l-i-v-e mindful

  4. People,

    all the time,
    unlike trauma-free dogs
