Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

Integral capitalism redux
Joe Corbett has an interesting Integral World response
to the Institute for Cultural Evolution (ICE). It seems ICE blames pomo
for not getting along with modernist capitalism, nor recognizing all its
wonderful benefits. It those MGMs would just get over their dysfunction
and integrate modernist capitalism things would work out just fine.
Corbett, to his credit, berates ICE's Polyanna attitude that the
corporate-industrial-military complex can be "swept aside" once pomo
gets on track and we can get on with the business of selling
evolutionary theory. He notes that this is incredibly naive, since it
misses the power structure of that massive complex and how it limits the
very possibilities of action of the underclass, lest they be out of a
job and die. And all the while meanwhile ICE touts individual initiative
(more like obsession) and material consumption as positive values we
should "integrate" as some kind of next gen survival of the fittest. All
of this is explicit in the IPS thread on integral global capitalism.
