These are stories for grown ups in the style of children’s stories that explain our fractal Universe and how history keeps repeating itself as humans make the same mistakes in a simple and engaging way, showing how patterns can be interrupted once they are observed: The Tower That Always Falls (The Tower of Babel &Continue reading “The Pattern That Repeats”

Rewriting the Code of Intelligence: How FCP Bridges AI, Autism, and Quantum Evolution
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”
How FCP Rewires Conflict Processing from Childhood
FCP has the potential to create environments that “program” children’s minds to develop intrinsic conflict resolution skills as adults by shaping their early neural pathways, emotional regulation, and social conditioning in a way that makes cooperative, integrative conflict resolution their default state. I. How FCP Rewires Conflict Processing from Childhood Neuroscience shows that early relationalContinue reading “How FCP Rewires Conflict Processing from Childhood”
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”
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”
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”
