Professor Glory's Active Hope
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,
monotheistic competing for all-consuming
ritualistic servicing?
How would you compare broad cultural trends
between East and West theology
on a RightBrain felt wisdom v. LeftBrain monolithic spectrum
of correct knowledge?
Which might be more privileged Anthro-centric,
and which would you expect to be more
sacred Earth-centric?
Where would you expect to find more
compete or cooperate economic support structures?
Which would you expect to be more family-tribal-clan oriented
and which more individualistically ego-oriented?
Who is more likely to be a feminist-cooperative economist,
an Integral Permaculture Designer
or a Trumpian Party Platform Developer?
Why do you imagine our world,
our nation,
in this appositionally
correlated
way?
As a cooperatively intended illustration
of discovering political relativity
within an economic bicameral lens,
let's compare our colleague Charles Eisenstein's
description of "The Secular Growth Imperative"
with a bracketed revision
which might be entitled "A Sacred Regeneration Imperative."
This, not to suggest mutual disregard,
but to suggest dipolar co-arising confluence
through using both Left and Right lenses
of ecopolitical 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 [paid services] realm."
[Abetted by double-binary technology,
the digitalizing of newly-commodified goods and services information
is accelerating
over these last few decades,
to the point today
where surprisingly little is right
panentheistically
within shared realm
of compassionate enhancement
of health value.]
"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 root neurosystemic Commons
of body/mind
continues ego- and anthro-centric therapies
through pleasure/passionate peak cooperative stewardship--
all to keep healthy pace with
an exponential reconnection of qualitative
engagingly felt health values,
optimizing mind/body integrity
as all about core-balance 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 co-empathic consciousness,
and so on,
yin toward yang
and back again
health/wealth evolution.]
"It is why two-thirds of all American meals are now prepared outside the home."
[It is why two-thirds of all human meals
are now nutritionally prepared
inside our EarthTribe
health-producing
organic homes and mindful 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 indigenous wisdom
could further enrich pharmaceutical medicines,
from which they originally derived,
Why child care has become a valued privilege,
Why drinking from nature's primally flowing health stream
has become the number-one climate healing category
in the EarthTribe Commons
co-passionate 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
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 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.
