Cooperative Family Politics
I think he's talking about a cooperative bicameral political system,
with "How to talk to the other side".
And what could that possibly mean, dear Yang?
Well,
I was watching this Ted-talk from Marin,
by Robb Willer, as I anciently recall,
while reading George Lakoff's "Political Mind",
still...
Yes, dear,
you really talk about Lakoff's ecopolitical organic-systemic mind
a bit too much.
I prefer opera.
Speaking of what that could possibly mean,
but, anyway,
Yes, I was reading Lakoff and listening Willer,
both probably influenced by Berkeley ecopolitical acclimation,
now post-millennially evolving
from Gregory Bateson's Sacred Ecology,
which was also sometimes bicameral-appositionally structured
to bilaterally invite both-and comparisons
where LeftBrain dominance competes either-or survivalist evolutions.
Now I couldn't possibly be more lost
in your polysyllables
where I prefer polyphonic rhythms,
jazzier occupier beats of revolution.
This is starting to sound like an opera version
of Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf.
So, as I was saying,
this bicameral picture, from Lakoff, and Willer, and Bateson...
I'm sorry, honey.
Was that the Berkeley natural ecopolitical law firm
you were reading,
and watching?
No! Not a law firm...
Well, OK, whatever.
As I was trying to say,
the political version of natural ecological law string of reasoning
draws a geopolitical frame of perennial competition
between Patriarchal health and safety values for monocultural purity,
and for patriotic-nationalistic loyalty,
often reified down to militaristic aggression
using encultured rhetorical models
of and for WinLose evolutionary theology.
Hang on, there,
this feels like a rather bad review
for our bicameral relationship,
which I have always found more WinWin Positive,
than, you know...
too Yang Dominant inappropriately aggressive.
Well, that's because you and I know how to co-mentor
our caregiving and receiving ecopolitics
in this little organic ecosystemic landscape we have designed
and matured together,
equivalent bilaterally.
When I carry on in my LeftBrain geopolitical dominating way
you just sleep and murmur of my becoming too tightly associated
with
Western White Gods of Master Racing
monoculturally marching against health and safety freedoms for all;
OK, well..
maybe not so much for those who have drifted off toward the margins;
more for conservation-oriented
mature healthy and wealthy Patriarchs,
but then, that's how God the Father
designed my ecopolitics,
so never mind about that little lack of well-integrated
not quite ecosystemic balancing theology.
My patriarchal LeftBrain point
remains our health and safety,
although I do have this fascination with virginal monocultural purity
and fraternal loyalty
to Fathered Fertile Landscapes,
waves of horny grain.
Oops. I think you did a little RightBrain slip there.
But, I get your idea,
and I know you also appreciate this other progressive-liberation theology side,
where we find our more integrative,
matriarchally trans-regenerational,
ecopolitical investment in future global health and safety
through improving our lifeskills today,
for empathy,
like teaching the kids to extend their imaginations about the Golden Rule,
not only across species,
but also across the generations of organically healthy and happy time,
which must include bilaterally equivalent respect
between all the multiculturing possibilities
of nature's most optimally lawful integrity,
regenerativity of life as energy light ourselves.
There for a minute
I thought you were confining yourself
to the land of cause-effect reason.
But, moving on,
Your matriarchal RightBrain Liberation Front,
flowing with conjoining nutritional integrity,
Dr. Jane Gordon calls this cooperative Creolization,
and such profound integrity also speaks
of Sacred Ecology as Historical Evolutionary Liberation Teleology.
Oh boy,
now we're really in trouble.
Really, honey,
you need to get out more,
go for a walk,
do some gardening,
plant trees,
and don't forget to feed and water them with some climate health.
As Creolization was trying to say,
across these evolutionary political development stories,
LeftBrain Dominance is our ecopolitical MasterYang patriarchal voice,
as RightBrain thereby becomes suppressed YinFlow of synergetic multiculturing revolutions.
This seems dynamically important
for optimizing WinWin political opportunities
for SelfLeft plus OtherRight plus Earth trilateral communication
about and of and for and within health and safety
as more regenerative than degenerative.
Don't you just mean more healthy than pathological,
more naturally and spiritually good than Yang-excessively bad?
Well, probably, but it sounds better the way I say it.
OK, if you think so.
I wonder how this is the same and different
than our proletariat Soap Opera,
where everybody eventually ends up gettin' some,
but also losing everything
that could ever possibly matter.
Try to stay tuned to one channel,
if you would be so kind.
So, we have these two primal ecopolitical hemispheres of bicamerality,
acting as bilateral polypathic co-empowerment
through interdependence.
God remains Patriarchal LeftBrain egocentric-anthrocentric Father;
but is now hooked up with...
Honey,
please say conjoined,
not hooked up.
That sounds crude and disrespectful.
Right.
OK, God the Father post-millennially conjoins
Liberating EarthGoddess
of Matriarchal-Feminist Yin RightBrain,
ecologically balancing
ecopolitically maturing Creole-integrity
of universal-global health and safety.
Good.
So we're done with this story then?
My Creole co-intelligence
would like to remind your secular-West reasoning
about your repressed sacred integrity co-empathic feelings
that healthy evolutionary services
cannot be WinWin delivered to a global market
by merely following LeftBrain WinLose deductive-dominating assumptions
about our mutually cooperative health and safety.
Well, that's what I'm LeftBrain saying,
My either-or is also your both-and.
