There's a lengthy and at times ascerbic debate at the IPS FB forum once again on the green meme.
So I went to Morin's book Seven Complex Lessons for Education
in the Future, available at this
link. The section on false rationality begins on p. 17. He describes
it as "abstract unidimensional rationalization" and
"technobureaucratic rationality" (18) expressed in free
market economics, since it is divorced from the sort of ecological
thinking that takes account of multiple systems in interdependence,
instead imposing on nature a fixed abstract ideal. In so doing
environmental devastation has been wrought.
Also of interest is the footnote on that page that false
rationality in the green movement is guilty as well. The
well-intentioned Green Revolution sought to feed the third world with
a program that selected a single vegetal genome which failed to
account for how it would affect its local ecosystem to disastrous
results. But note, this was not due to a "green" meme but
how it still contained a false reason inherent to the orange meme.
Recall Lakoff's complaint about how the liberals can't frame for shit
because they still adhere to this false Enlightenment reasoning.
As I've made the case in the lengthy real/false thread, this same
kind of reasoning is carried forward into the more complex levels
above green via the kind of complexity based on it. I've used Morin's
form of complexity to counter it, as well as many other sources.
Recall from that thread when I asked Commons about Morin he relegated
Morin to his heterarchical or lateral complexity, i.e., it's just the
green meme stupid. That's all they can say when confronted with this
stuff.
Same with Laske, who uses his interpretation of Bhaskarian
dialectics as constituting postformal thinking instead of Commons
hierarchical variety, seeing the later as still instituting the
unconscious cultural norms of false reason. To put this in
kennilingus, since I must speak the language of the restless natives
in this land, perhaps so-called metasystematic thinking and above is
more 'complex' in terms of hierarchical complexity. But as I've
investigated in the real/false reason thread it is still tainted by
this sort of false reasoning. This is missed by kennilingus which
equates that sort of complexity with the integral. Whereas the likes
of Bhaskar, Morin, Lakoff, Gebser ad infinitum point to an entirely
different sort of complexity and meaning for the term 'integral,'
having uncovered and superseded this false reasoning.
