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”

Earth’s Rights: A Sentient System Deserving Protection

The idea that the planet should have rights isn’t just a philosophical debate—it’s a necessary step toward protecting the very systems that sustain life. If corporations, which are human-made legal entities, can have rights, then surely the Earth, which gives us air, water, food, and shelter, deserves at least the same level of legal protection.Continue reading “Earth’s Rights: A Sentient System Deserving Protection”

Are you a Globalist? (if you are reading this, you probably already are. Welcome, the world has been waiting for you.)

How This Version of Globalism Differs from Traditional Globalism Traditional globalism is often associated with economic globalization, where multinational corporations and international institutions (e.g., the UN, IMF, World Bank) promote free trade, open markets, and economic integration. This version is hierarchical, profit-driven, and controlled by elites, leading to corporate dominance, economic inequality, and environmental exploitation.Continue reading “Are you a Globalist?

Memes

Today I don’t have the energy to write down my thoughts, they are moving too quickly and there are too many of them. Here are some related memes instead:

the 100th monkey has woken up

When the 100th monkey wakes up, the paradigm shifts. The “Hundredth Monkey Effect” is a metaphor for the tipping point in collective consciousness—a moment when an idea, behavior, or realization reaches a critical mass and spreads instantaneously across a population. In this context, when the 100th monkey “wakes up,” it signifies that enough individuals haveContinue reading “the 100th monkey has woken up”

Restorative Systems Movement (RSM): A Unified Framework for Systemic Healing, Climate Justice, and Social Transformation

Restorative Systems Movement (RSM): A Unified Framework for Systemic Healing, Climate Justice, and Social Transformation The Restorative Systems Movement (RSM) integrates all my frameworks—Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), Disability-Inclusive Governance (DIGERA), Restorative Eco-Activism, Spiral City Models, and Trauma-Informed Systems Change—into a single activist movement. This movement envisions a world where systemic transformation is rooted in healing,Continue reading “Restorative Systems Movement (RSM): A Unified Framework for Systemic Healing, Climate Justice, and Social Transformation”

Scalability & Implementation of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) & Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)

We’ll systematically examine how FCP and MIT transition from theory to practice at individual, group, institutional, and societal levels. — 1A: Can FCP & MIT Function at Different Scales? 1. Individual Level (Personal Growth, Therapy, Self-Regulation) ✅ Strengths: FCP integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Polyvagal Theory, making it useful for self-healing, nervous system regulation,Continue reading “Scalability & Implementation of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) & Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)”

Scalability & Implementation of Trauma-Informed Governance (TIG)

We’ll systematically apply the five-step framework to Trauma-Informed Governance (TIG) to ensure its scalability, resistance to misuse, and practical implementation. — Step 1: Scalability & Implementation of Trauma-Informed Governance (TIG) Key Questions: 1. Can TIG function at different levels (local, national, global)? 2. What infrastructure (physical, economic, social) is required to implement it? 3. HowContinue reading “Scalability & Implementation of Trauma-Informed Governance (TIG)”

Scalability & Implementation of Fibonacci-Inspired Spiral Cities

Scalability & Implementation of Fibonacci-Inspired Spiral Cities The first step is to evaluate whether Spiral Cities are scalable and practical, ensuring they can function at local, national, and global levels without disrupting existing infrastructures. Key Questions: 1. Can Spiral Cities function at different scales (local, regional, national, global)? 2. What infrastructure (physical, economic, social) isContinue reading “Scalability & Implementation of Fibonacci-Inspired Spiral Cities”
