Rewriting the Code of Intelligence: How FCP Bridges AI, Autism, and Quantum Evolution Introduction: AI, Autism, and the Limits of Cartesian Intelligence For centuries, intelligence has been measured through a Cartesian lens, reinforcing binary thinking, hierarchical structures, and social conformity as the standard for cognition. This model has shaped everything from governance and education toContinue reading “Rewriting the Code of Intelligence: How FCP Bridges AI, Autism, and Quantum Evolution”

Reintegrating the Self and Society: How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Counters Cartesian Dualism
The Problem of Cartesian Dualism and Why FCP is Necessary For centuries, Cartesian dualism—the artificial separation of mind and body, reason and emotion, individual and collective—has shaped Western society in ways that have fragmented human understanding and created dysfunctional social structures. This false division has led to widespread emotional repression, punitive governance, and a fear-basedContinue reading “Reintegrating the Self and Society: How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Counters Cartesian Dualism”
Reframing Addiction Recovery: A Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Critique of Social Coercion and Systemic Barriers
Reframing Addiction Recovery: A Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Critique of Social Coercion and Systemic Barriers The Fractal of Resentment: How Withholding Forgiveness Traps Us in the Past When we refuse to forgive, we often believe we are protecting ourselves—setting boundaries, demanding accountability, or ensuring justice. But in reality, resentment is rarely about the other person;Continue reading “Reframing Addiction Recovery: A Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Critique of Social Coercion and Systemic Barriers”
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”
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”
The Loneliness Epidemic and Descartes’ Legacy: How Mind-Body Dualism Shaped Our Emotional Disconnection
The Loneliness Epidemic and Descartes’ Legacy: How Mind-Body Dualism Shaped Our Emotional Disconnection Introduction The modern loneliness epidemic is often attributed to technological advancements, social media, or shifts in family structures. However, its roots go much deeper—stretching back to a philosophical shift that redefined how we perceive ourselves and others. René Descartes’ mind-body dualism, whichContinue reading “The Loneliness Epidemic and Descartes’ Legacy: How Mind-Body Dualism Shaped Our Emotional Disconnection”
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”
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”
How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and the Social Model of Disability Intersect
The social model of disability challenges the idea that disability is an inherent personal deficit. Instead, it argues that disability is created by society’s failure to accommodate diverse needs. This model contrasts with the medical model, which frames disability as an individual problem to be “fixed” or “treated.” Key Principles of the Social Model ofContinue reading “How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and the Social Model of Disability Intersect”
