These are children’s stories that explain how repeating patterns of conflict can be interrupted and resolved, to be integrated as wisdom and used as opportunities for growth after they are observed and redirected using the FCP method: The Puzzle Piece Problem Liam sat at the kitchen table, frowning at his puzzle. Pieces were scattered everywhere,Continue reading “Embracing Conflict as Opportunities for Growth”

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”
Integrating Theories for a Unified Understanding of Relational Systems – How FCP and MIT Bridge Psychology, Sociology, and Systems Theory
Integrating Theories for a Unified Understanding of Relational Systems – How FCP and MIT Bridge Psychology, Sociology, and Systems Theory 🚀 How do we integrate all of human knowledge into a framework that actually works? The Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT) aren’t just theories; they are meta-frameworks designed to unify insightsContinue reading “Integrating Theories for a Unified Understanding of Relational Systems – How FCP and MIT Bridge Psychology, Sociology, and Systems Theory”
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”
How Natural Laws Relate to the Indigenous Fight for Land Back and the Assumption of Violence
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”
Humanity’s Choice
Humanity’s tendency to repeat the same destructive cycles—war, oppression, hierarchy, collapse—can largely be attributed to a failure to internalize natural laws like reciprocity, cause and effect, and balance. Instead of aligning with these fundamental principles, civilizations have often been built through coercion, extraction, and dominance, which are inherently unsustainable. 1. The Law of Reciprocity: TheContinue reading “Humanity’s Choice”
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”
