HOW WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE SCREWING UP (e.g. MASS SHOOTINGS ETC.)

Author’s Preface: This essay is coming from the same NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based understanding as is foundational in indigenous aboriginal cultures and in Modern physics, which is AT ODDS WITH common WESTERN CULTURE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based understanding. So, for example, the indigenous aboriginal understanding wherein WE ARE STRANDS in the WEB (interconnected and interdependent) is understood as fundational to our sense-experience reality as is the understanding of Modern physics (where it is expressed in terms where forms are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM), which is once again the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM as with STRANDS in the WEB. FRAGMENTATION in WESTERN CULTURE is rampant, and is due to giving the FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING TO SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM.
The current JEFFREY EPSTEIN AFFAIR, that is giving rise to a lot of FINGER-POINTING based SOCIAL FRAGMENTATION, is MISSING THE BASIC REALITY that EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT as with CONDENSATIONS in the energy-charged PLENUM, so that as POGO says, “WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US”, in which case, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE is WARRANTED, NOT WESTERN CULTURE STYLE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE THAT SEEKS TO IDENTIFY and ELIMINATE the notional LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHORS of VIOLENT/HARMFUL ACTIONS.
In REALITY, the VIOLENCE of the VIOLENT STRAND IN THE WEB IS NOT LOCALLY AUTHORED. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “LOCAL AUTHORING” of actions and developments. “LOCAL AUTHORING” is “APPEARANCE” (Schaumkommen in Schroedinger’s language) deriving from the “DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR” (Nietzsche). When we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS employ linguistic conceptualizations such as “The TOWN is GROWING”, we may be TELLING THE TRUTH but as GOEDEL’S THEOREM of the INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE PROPOSITIONS OF LOGIC informs us, establishing that which is TRUE is not equivalent to establishing that which is REAL; e.g. THE TOWN MAY BE GROWING but this fails to mention the conjugate SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS, that together with the GROWING of the TOWN co-constitutes the sense-experience affirmable REALITY of the TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE.
The Epstein-Maxwell affair brings to mind the WESTERN CULTURE “PRACTICE OF SCAPEGOATING THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT”. As pointed to in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, one person’s misfortune (poverty and exposure to manipulation) can be another’s advantage (prosperity can become the instrument of manipulation of the impoverished). e.g.
PRINCE HENRY:
Why, then, it is like if there come a hot June, and this civil buffeting hold, we shall buy maidenheads as they buy hob- nails, by the hundreds.
“WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US”
Is it NOT TIME for us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS to STOP TALKING UP THE BULLSHIT OF ‘INDEPENDENT BEINGS” and “INDEPENDENT NATIONS” and OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGE OUR INTERCONNECTION AND INTERDEPENDENCE as is done by MODERN PHYSICS with its CONDENSATIONS in the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM UNDERSTANDING, and by indigenous aboriginals with their STRANDS-IN-THE-WEB UNDERSTANDING?
* * * * * * * * * * End of Author’s Preface:
“IF WE REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW IT COMES TO BE THAT WE WESTERN CULTURE FOLKS ARE SCREWING UP SO BADLY WITH MASS SHOOTINGS ETC.”
AND, LET’S FACE IT, “WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS” DO “NOT WANT TO KNOW”, BECAUSE AS POGO points out, it is a case of “WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US!”
MANY HAVE SHARED THIS UNDERSTANDING, but “IT JUST SLIPS AWAY AND DOESN’T TAKE ROOT”. I will share herewith, THIS GREAT WESTERN CULTURE SCREW UP IN TERMS THAT ARE SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT FORWARD which I will NUMBER. While many have discovered what is going on here, I will follow the example that has been given by Lev Vygotsky who studied how children naturally learn guided by their own sense-experience (before WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS SCREW WITH THEIR MINDS). The WESTERN CULTURE PRACTICE OF SCREWING UP THE MINDS OF ITS YOUTH HAS BEEN POINTED OUT by R.D. Laing, Jules Henry, and Ernest Becker in my earlier notes. This time I will share what Lev Vygotsky has said. He wrote in RUSSIAN and that was translated into ENGLISH and Alex Kozulin evidently did a GREAT JOB of translating that into ENGLISH, but ENGLISH SPEAKERS will STILL NOT GET THE MESSAGE because we ENGLISH SPEAKERS are in the HABIT of SIMPLIFYING the messages we receive to make them fit our PRE-CONCEIVED IMPRESSSIONS OF REALITY.
For example, If Vygotsky were to express something using verbs which implies that we are living within a transforming relational continuum; e.g. “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” (wherein everything is in flux), when WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HEAR THIS, WE WILL SPONTANEOUSLY “CORRECT” THIS TO “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” because we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS (influenced by the ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with THEIR BEING-based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME) will REDUCE and SIMPLIFY what has been said, to GIVE IT A “BEING” based FOUNDATION, … IN SPITE OF THE FACT; i.e. the SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY WHEREIN “EVERYTHING IS IN TRANSFORMATIVE FLUX”, that we REQUIRE a FLOW-BASED LANGUAGE as acknowledged and employed in MODERN PHYSICS and indigenous aboriginal culture.
WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are ADDICTED TO THE USE OF A LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME THAT REDUCES THE WORLD FROM A FLOW-BASED TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM TO A NOTIONAL COLLECTION OF MATERIAL ENTITIES THAT WE EQUIP WITH GRAMMAR-BASED POWERS TO MOVE ABOUT AND INTERACT WITHIN A NOTIONAL ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.
The FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLES OF HOW WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE USING BEING-BASED LANGUAGE WHICH IS “TOO SIMPLE” TO CONVEY OUR TRANSFORMING REALITY, AND WHICH THEREFORE SCREWS UP OUR LINGUISTIC ONCEPTUALIZATIONS OF REALITY.
The EQUIVALENCE of WAVE-FIELD theory … TO… TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), “BALANCE” is the fundamental cornerstone of health, acting as the governing principle for physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Rather than a static, 50/50 state, “BALANCE” in TCM is viewed as a dynamic, fluid, and ever-changing equilibrium that allows the body to adapt to internal and external unbalancing influences. When this harmony is disrupted, it leads to illness or discomfort, which TCM seeks to rectify by treating the root cause (“IMBALANCE”) rather than just symptoms.
.
The core of TCM is the cultivating of balance between two opposing influences; “Yin” and “Yang” where the former represents darkness, cold, rest, structure and cooling and the latter represents brightness, warmth, activity, energy and function. Health occurs when Yin and Yang are in a “dynamic BALANCE” i.e. harmonious state.
.
BALANCE is the condition supporting health and harmony and “THE LOGIC OF BALANCE” IS THE BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM. WESTERN CULTURE, meanwhile, has invented the simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based concept of “THE PATHOGEN” which has come to play the FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in WESTERN MEDICINE; i.e. instead of orienting to the cultivating and sustaining of balance and harmony of the microbial assemblage, WESTERN MEDICINE has accepted the abstract notion of PATHOGEN and created ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE that orients to the ELIMATING OF PATHOGENS, MISSING THE POINT (OBSCURING THE REALITY) that there are no (local, explicit) things such as PATHOGENS, there are only (nonlocal, implicit) IMBALANCES as can lead to STRIFE and INJURY. For example, IMBALANCE between RICH and POOR based on the WESTERN CULTURE concept of ENTITLEMENT inductively generates REBALANCING AGENTS which in BINARY LOGIC based terms are tagged as PATHOGENS (thieves) which, as with GERMS in WESTERN MEDICINE, are misidentified as the SOURCE of the DYSFUNCTION (pathogens we call thieves) when in reality these ‘pathogeens called thieves’ are the RESULT of the DYSFUNCTION which is IMBALANCE.
.
The WESTERN CULTURE CONCEPT of ENTITLEMENT is the source of SYSTEMATIC RICH and POOR IMBALANCE which inductively breeds REBALANCING AGENTS that are given the PEJORATIVE name-labelling of “PATHOGENS” (THIEVES). While indigenous aboriginal cultures support BALANCE-RESTORING actions such as the POTLATCH to smooth out the random arrivals of SURPLUS and DEFICIENCY, WESTERN CULTURE use of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR implies the abstract concept of LOCAL AUTHORING that is ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING (e.g. all the things the farmer does to cultivate crops) BUT WHICH DROPS OUT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate. This means that while WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING is adequately designed to capture the correlation between the farmer’s hard work in cultivating the fields and a fine crop, all such male asserting/actualizing effort could be for naught without the female accommodating/enabling fair weather (gentle rainfall, solar irradiance, oxygenated winds that are key contributers to a fine crop, when present, and the source of crop failure when not present.
.
WESTERN CULTURE linguistic conceptualizing gives full and sole credit to the male asserting/actualizing PUNCH that shatters the recipient’s SKULL without acknowledging that IT MAY WELL BE AN EGG-SHELL THIN SKULL that is MORE RESPONSIBLE for the shattering of the SKULL than what may have been a FEEBLE PUNCH. In other words, it is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING of the egg-shell thin SKULL that is MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSFORMATION than the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENCY of the (feeble) PUNCH. As in the Zen koan, (is it the LOCAL, EXPLICIT FLAG that is moving or is it the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT WIND that is moving? NEITHER, it is the MIND that is moving.
.
INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE flow-based linguistic conceptualizing scheme with its STRANDS IN THE WEB relation acknowleges the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) nature of all dynamics where the LOCAL and EXPLICIT is only APPEARANCE (Schaumkommen). So “THE TOWN IS GROWING” is only LOCAL, EXPLICIT APPEARANCE or YANG since what is actually occurring is that ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ aka TRANSFORMATION of the overall LANDSCAPE which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT REALITY or YIN. While WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS see these as TWO SEPARATE THINGS and VALIDATE the LOCAL and EXPLICIT while DROPPING OUT the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, the physical reality is the WAVE-FIELD wherein the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT … DO NOT SPLIT APART FROM THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT (the WAVE-TROUGH and WAVE-PEAK DO NOT SPLIT APART INTO TWO SEPARATE COMPONENTS, that is the MISTAKE of WESTERN CULTURE termed by Nietzsche, the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR that supports the FALSE notion of there being a LOCAL and EXPLICIT “ON ITS OWN” such as the “GROWTH OF THE TOWN”. This is IMPOSSIBLE without at the same time, the SHRINKING of the WILDERNESS. They Yin/Yang symbol captures this CONJUGATE relation wherein the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT “YIN” AND THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT “YANG” only exist in a BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM context.
.

Over the course of more than twenty years of pursuing philosophical investigations into WAVE PHYSICS, initially as a GEOPHYSICIST and later opening up the investigation to SYSTEMS SCIENCE, many understandings from various FIELDS OF INQUIRY have “COME TOGETHER” which has LED ME TO A COGNITIVE CONNECTING (EQUIVALENCING) of WAVE-FIELD theory … TO… TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE, and through this CONNECTION to a DEEPER UNDERSTANDING of WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION (due to the WESTERN CULTURE DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate and EMPLOYING the INCOMPLETE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate “ON ITS OWN”).
HOW DOES ONE SHARE SUCH FINDINGS? (they straddle different disciplines including those of EAST (and indigenous aboriginal BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM) AND WEST (mechanistic EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM) concepts. The distinction between these EASTERN and WESTERN LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING FRAMEWORKS manifests in the difference in our linguistic conceptualizing schemes where we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS give the FOUNDATIONAL ROLE to simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM where one speaks in such terms as “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods”, … VERSUS … the indigenous aboriginal culture adherents who give the FOUNDATIONAL ROLE to less simple NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where one speaks in such terms as “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”.
This DIFFERENCE relates to the WAVE-FIELD structure of our reality; i.e. in the first example, this language captures the PEAK but NOT THE TROUGH; i.e. the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PEAK but NOT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING TROUGH, … while the latter example (the indigenous aboriginal linguistic conceptualizing approach) INCLUDES BOTH PEAK AND TROUGH. In terms of LOGIC, the first example “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” is SIMPLER in that it is grounded in BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM, while the example “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” is LESS SIMPLE in that it is grounded in NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM.
ONE THING IS CLEAR, the FORMER BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION is dependent on BEING based things-in-themselves called TOWNS while the LATTER NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDINGMEDIUM based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING has “NO DEPENDENCY on BEING-based things-in-themselves” and implies that EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX including the TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.

THE PROBLEM WITH WESTERN CULTURE IS OUR USE OF BINARY LOGIC IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING
0February 1, 2026

The shift from Newtonian science to Modern physics involves an upgrade from BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED (empty space) MEDIUM to NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING (energy-plenum) MEDIUM.
Supposing we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS had designed a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME using the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM. WE WOULD HAVE COME UP WITH MODERN PHYSICS like the indigenous aboriginal culture rather than the less capable BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED (empty space) MEDIUM and we wouldn’t be having all of the troubles we are having with TRUMP and THE CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL SPLIT because their differences derive from the simple EITHER/OR choice options of BINARY LOGIC and this constraining to the one or other of the TWO OPPOSING CHOICES would not arise if the popular logic was the more capable BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (instead of offering us a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING limits us to the choice of EITHER THIS OR THAT, we would have access to an expanded LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING including THIS, THAT and BOTH.
For example, we can describe a wave in LOCAL and EXPLICIT terms of EITHER its PEAK or TROUGH which is a BINARY LOGIC based conceptualizing approach, or we can describe a wave by including mention of its NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING) context within which the LOCAL and EXPLICIT (MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING) is INCLUDED.
EXAMPLE: the BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC approach supports simple logical propositions such as “THE TOWN IS OR IS NOT GROWING while the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC approach supports less simple logical propositions such as “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” where we use the conjugate combination of BOTH MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AND FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING propositions.
While INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS and MODERN PHYSICS employ within the foundation of their LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, the less simple BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which conveys the conjugate combination of LOCAL and EXPLICIT within NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, … We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are people who are using simple BINARY LOGIC in a foundational role in our THINKING and ACTING and at the same time, MODERN PHYSICS is now imposing on us an increasing need for the more capable BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which acknowledges that material forms are condensations of the ENERGY-CHARGED INCLUDING MEDIUM. For example, while it is LOGICALLY TRUE to use BINARY LOGIC and state that THE TOWN IS OR IS NOT GROWING, but it is INCOMPLETE because if FAILS MENTION the CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS and thus it FAILS TO CAPTURE ‘what is really going on as reported by our SENSE-EXPERIENCE which is that THE LANDSCAPE IS TRANSFORMING. In order to capture the reality of the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE we need the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, we need a linguistic conceptualizing where we GO BEYOND simple BINARY LOGIC based propositions such as “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods’, where we instead us the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where we say, THERE IS TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, as in the INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME..
The indigenous aboriginal linguistic conceptualizing scheme supports the less simple STRUCTURE of the STRANDS in the WEB wherein the STRANDS are BOTH THEMSELVES AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE WEB THEY SHARE INCLUSION; i.e. the STRANDS are INTERCONNECTING and INTERDEPENDENT and this is an IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE in how a social collective thinks of themselves, as is captures in the indigenous aboriginal aphorism “MITAKUYE OYASIN’ (everything is related).
MODERN PHYSICS is now teaching us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS who have heretofore focused on SIMPLIFYING our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME giving the foundational role to BINARY LOGIC , by way of our ‘bumping into the need’ to upgrade from TOO SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM based propositions (the TOWN is GROWING) to LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based propositions (there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE), … THAT WE NEED TO “UPGRADE” our common operative LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME.
