How Natural Laws Relate to the Indigenous Fight for Land Back and the Assumption of Violence The fight for land back is fundamentally about restoring balance, reciprocity, and sustainability—all of which are core natural laws. However, the assumption that this process must involve violence stems from the fact that colonialism itself was founded through violenceContinue reading “How Natural Laws Relate to the Indigenous Fight for Land Back and the Assumption of Violence”

Gaia-Inspired Revolution: Using FCP & MIT to Guide Revolutionary Action
Imagine you’re a fish in a fish tank. You can swim around and make choices, but if the water is dirty, you’re going to get sick no matter what you do. Cartesian dualism is like saying, “It’s your fault you’re sick, just swim better,” instead of realizing the whole tank needs to be cleaned. InContinue reading “Gaia-Inspired Revolution: Using FCP & MIT to Guide Revolutionary Action”
Autistic Cognition as a Natural Resistance to Cartesian Dualism: A Functional Conflict Perspective Approach
Autistic Cognition as a Natural Resistance to Cartesian Dualism: A Functional Conflict Perspective Approach Abstract René Descartes’ mind-body dualism established the foundation for hierarchical thought in Western civilization, reinforcing the separation of mind from body, rationality from emotion, and elites from the masses. This framework permeates governance, education, and social organization, producing top-down, control-based structuresContinue reading “Autistic Cognition as a Natural Resistance to Cartesian Dualism: A Functional Conflict Perspective Approach”
The Earth as a Living, Breathing Sentient Being: A Unified Framework of Gaia Theory, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems
The Earth as a Living, Breathing Sentient Being: A Unified Framework of Gaia Theory, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Human civilization has long debated whether the Earth is merely an inert rock floating through space or something more—a dynamic, self-regulating, and even sentient entity. By integrating Gaia Theory,Continue reading “The Earth as a Living, Breathing Sentient Being: A Unified Framework of Gaia Theory, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems”
Collective Reflection, Mirror Integration Theory (MIT), and Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Framework for Systemic Transformation
Collective Reflection: A Mechanism for Societal Awareness and Integration Collective Reflection is the process through which societies engage in introspection, recognize historical patterns, and integrate knowledge about their collective experiences. It allows communities to process past events, acknowledge systemic failures, and adjust their cultural narratives. Unlike individual reflection, which is deeply personal, Collective Reflection isContinue reading “Collective Reflection, Mirror Integration Theory (MIT), and Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Framework for Systemic Transformation”
From Descartes to the Double Empathy Problem: How Dualism Shaped the Pathologization of Neurodivergence
From Descartes to the Double Empathy Problem: For centuries, Western psychology has assumed a normative model of social cognition, defining communication and empathy through neurotypical standards. This framework has pathologized neurodivergent relational modes, positioning autistic communication styles as deficits rather than valid, alternative ways of engaging with the world. But where did this bias originate?Continue reading “From Descartes to the Double Empathy Problem: How Dualism Shaped the Pathologization of Neurodivergence”
Comparing Mirror Integration Therapy (MIT), Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Stephen Hawking’s Theory of Everything (TOE)
Stephen Hawking, a renowned theoretical physicist, spoke extensively about the “Theory of Everything” (TOE), which he described as a single, unified framework that could explain all fundamental forces and particles of nature. His work focused on reconciling general relativity (which governs large-scale structures like galaxies) with quantum mechanics (which governs subatomic particles). Hawking believed thatContinue reading “Comparing Mirror Integration Therapy (MIT), Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Stephen Hawking’s Theory of Everything (TOE)”
Common Denominators: Unifying Science, Spirituality, and Systems Theory into a Unified Theory of Everything
Imagine that everything in the world is connected, like puzzle pieces that form a big picture. Now, there are two ways to help fix the world when these pieces are out of place. One way is through Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Therapy (MIT), which are science-based methods. FCP looks at how societiesContinue reading “Common Denominators: Unifying Science, Spirituality, and Systems Theory into a Unified Theory of Everything”
SpiroLateral: A Simple Explanation of My Ideas
For the Grown Ups… At its core, my work is about understanding why history keeps repeating itself and how we can finally break the cycle. I’ve connected Internal Family Systems (IFS), Systems Theory, Jungian Shadow Work, and World History to show that societies, just like people, get stuck in patterns of trauma and dysfunction. InsteadContinue reading “SpiroLateral: A Simple Explanation of My Ideas”
How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Solves the Incentive Problem in Capitalism
How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Solves the Incentive Problem in Capitalism The problem described in the above image is a structural feature of capitalism: The wealthy profit from systemic harm and therefore have no incentive to change it. This is not a bug, but a design feature of an exploitative system. FCP (Functional Conflict Perspective)Continue reading “How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Solves the Incentive Problem in Capitalism”
