  1. There were voices (little heeded) that warned this was coming back in the 80s: Bertram Gross, Arthur Selwyn Miller, (and even "Objectivist" philosopher Leonard Peikoff). It's structural, systemic. "Trump's SOTU Speech Bristled With Fascist Politics"

    The great strength or virtue of Cartesian mode of thought is simultaneously its greatest weakness and vulnerability. It is very powerful in being focused, but that also generates an enormous blindspot -- a whole dimension of our fuller reality is hidden from it.

    There is obviously something quite insufficient about Cartesian method and logic, when one examines Descartes' own illustration of it. It's the distillation of Renaissance perspective art become a method of thinking, the shape of the "cogito". Yet it is obviously limited in scope

    Dialectical/perspectival logic is a triangulating logic -- there is a mind, a body, and our thoughts about them called "a perspective". This is quite inappropriate and deficient for a 4-dimensional cosmos, which now assumes the form of a mandala, not a triangle.

    The problem here is that awareness is contracting and shrinking into the "point" of "the point of view", which induces anxiety, and feels imprisoning within the skull.

    Habits of dialectical thought seem to now have become constraints and limits on the horizons of consciousness. Dialectics employs a 3-term logic corresponding to the 3 dimensions of (perspective) space. What's needed in a 4-dimensional cosmos of the field is a 4-term logic.

    Cultural Philospher Jean Gebser's early insights in *The Ever-Present Origin* into what we now call "New Normal" grow more and more relevant and pertinent with every passing day, week, month, year. It's a marvel of perspicuity.

    "[The] tension between anxiety and delight, isolation and collectivization is the ultimate result of an epoch that has outlived itself." Jean Gebser, *The Ever-Present Origin*. In other words, the epoch is overripe, and has now exceeded its shelf-life and sell-by date.

    Paying attention ? Want to me remembered as incompetent premiers for not having moved to diversify but relying upon fossil fuels: "a slowly melting ice cube, a wasting asset."

    It may be hard to accept the unraveling of this Age and of the structure of consciousness that characterised this Age. While understanding why it is so is important, more important is to gain insight into what is emerging in the "undergrowth" and amidst the wreckage and ruins.

    Have a question for you . Doesn't Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem suggest that Bohm is right about "hidden variables"? Just curious about that.

    What do you see when you see this glyph of Janus, the two-faced (sometimes four-faced) god? Do you see a dualism or a paradox? An "either/or" symbol or a "both/and" symbol? Prometheus-Epimetheus polarity.

    We would do well to be finally rid of "the mind-body problem", which underwrites much contemporary racism as well. It is an anachronism. My latest in *The Chrysalis* on the multiple confusions of Late Modernity and the movement towards a post-Cartesianism

    The Prodigal Son parable is the ego or identity become dislodged, distanced, estranged, and alienated from its own vital centre and the source of its being, at the extremity finally into a condition of utter degradation and debasement (the Kaliyuga).

    Integration and assimilation are not synonyms. Stop using them as if they are. Integration means to heal, mend, make whole and pertains to health. Assimilation means "make same". Not the same meanings at all.

    The Modern Era is disintegrating -- the period of the last 4 or 5 centuries. The rot has set in. That's what all this madness is about. That's both good news and bad news. It's going to be a very rough ride over the rapids.
