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.

Real/false reason, dominator/actualization hierarchies
Re-reading this Lakoff interview I'm reminded of Eisler saying
that when we enter a phase of emphasis on the individual, typically
white and male, it is a regression rather than an evolution. In her
terms, in that case a dominator hierarchy takes over instead of an
actualization hierarchy. Lakoff frames it differently, noting that the
regressive is into a dysfunctional and authoritarian father, whereas the
progressive balances the family structure with nurturing parents in
partnership. Same with how democracy is viewed: in the former it's all
about individual merit and in the latter it's the public-private
partnership. This is consistent with my contention that a pathological
dominator hierarchy takes over with the model of hierarchical complexity
(and resultant models of development based thereon), given its basis in
the sort of metaphysics inherent to this capitalistic regression with
its individual over-indulgence and deficient rational/false reasoning.
