Rethinking the System: A Psychosocial Blueprint for Collective Transformation We often treat social problems—poverty, inequality, climate collapse, war—as separate issues, each with its own causes and solutions. But what if these crises are not isolated, but symptoms of a deeper systemic misalignment? What if our current governance, economic, and social structures are fundamentally designed toContinue reading “Rethinking the System: A Psychosocial Blueprint for Collective Transformation”

Redefining Sociopathology and Psychopathology Through the Lens of Neurotypicality as a Hierarchical Construct
For too long, psychology has treated neurotypicality as the default and neurodivergence as a deviation, failing to examine how neurotypicality itself is a socially conditioned, hierarchy-enforcing construct rather than an inherent baseline of human cognition. If we reverse-engineer the DSM, neurotypicality could be defined as a cognitive state characterized by binary thinking, emotional suppression, selectiveContinue reading “Redefining Sociopathology and Psychopathology Through the Lens of Neurotypicality as a Hierarchical Construct”

There are different types of monism, each presenting a different perspective on the nature of reality: 1. Materialism (Physicalism) – Everything, including thoughts and consciousness, is ultimately physical in nature.

A Universal Moral Framework: Challenging Ethical Relativism Through the Biopsychosocial Model
A Universal Moral Framework: Challenging Ethical Relativism Through the Biopsychosocial Model Introduction In his speech “Distorted Morality: America’s War on Terror?” delivered at Harvard University in February 2002, Noam Chomsky asserts, “The only ethics that everyone can agree on is survival.” This statement underscores a fundamental truth about human nature: at its core, human moralityContinue reading “A Universal Moral Framework: Challenging Ethical Relativism Through the Biopsychosocial Model”
Economic Restructuring and Governance Transformation: In-Depth Exploration
Economic Restructuring and Governance Transformation: In-Depth Exploration The economic and governance systems in place today are often founded on extractive models—systems that prioritize profit, power, and control at the expense of collective well-being, social equity, and ecological sustainability. These systems tend to function through top-down, hierarchical structures, where conflict is avoided, and problems are addressedContinue reading “Economic Restructuring and Governance Transformation: In-Depth Exploration”

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.
