Collapse is not an event but a perceptual delay. suggesting that societal, ecological, or systemic failures are not singular, sudden moments, but rather ongoing processes that are only recognized after a delay in perception.
Every crisis a crisis of perception,
where individualization, and an ‘arrested’ maturation of the Self has caused
a severe fracture of our collective mindset, a complete fragmentation or disintegration
of our socio-economic networks and the ruptured of all socio-ecological coherence.
Economy is the hallucination of abstraction over ecology.
We may need a different ‘view’ on this narrative of ‘Doomsday’ or ‘Collapse’.
perhaps a more non-linear, non-hierarchical perspective
grounded in greater social-emotional competence.
The idea of ‘Beginning to End’ is arguably an AC (Abstract/Artificial Concept) —a mental construct that is fundamentally flawed in perception and interpretation, an apperception that emerges from the contextual limitations and restricted perspectives of Algorithmic or Artificial Intelligence, which have diminished our social-emotional competence.
We live in a state of engineered consciousness, where our social-emotional intellect consents to a suppression-induced false eco-dynamic reality. This creates a collective delusion that accepts & maintains the repressive mindset, as prescribed by our linear, hierarchical belief systems.
“Engineered consciousness”: Means culture, media and systemic structures deliberately shape our way of thinking.
“Social-emotional intellect“: Refers to our ability to understand and manage our emotions within the context of our socio-ecological environment.
“Suppression-induced, collective delusion”: is a shared false belief that emerges from ignoring and/or suppressing environmental reality.
“Repressive mindset”: the involuntary thought patterns that avoid confronting difficult truths or uncomfortable emotions.
“Linear hierarchic belief system”: is an abstract framework that simplifies reality in order to understand, predict and control future outcomes. It imposes a rigid, top-down structure of authority and values, stratifying positions and relationships into fixed levels and categories.
“False eco-dynamic reality”: remains the abstract outlining of reality, a misconception created by simplifications —a fictitious understanding of how we are connected to one another, to circumstances, and to our surrounding ecosystems. It obscures the true nature of interdependence, relational dynamic and change.
To debunk this ‘Doomsday’ narrative requires only a little shift in logic —a readjustment of our linear-hierarchic ‘lens’ or perspective that created the whole misconception in the ‘first place’.
When simple dichotomious bifurcations construct a world that begins and ends with good versus evil, oscillates between right and wrong, and assumes that every rise must be followed by a fall —then a ‘like’ engenders a ‘dislike’, ‘sink or swim’ are the only options, and the ‘Doomsday, Collapse’, or ‘Nemesis‘ becomes the logical conclusion of our ‘Genesis’.
But within the eco-dynamic context of reality, these finalities have merely transformational value, remaining nothing more than a bursting bubble in an ongoing continuum !
