We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have, for a long time, supported the FALSE NOTION of LOCAL AUTHORING.  Modern physics DEBUNKED “LOCAL AUTHORING” and so did indigenous aboriginals, but WESTERN CULTURE has RETAINED THIS BOGUS NOTION and continues to give it THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE IN ESTABLISHING “ENTITLEMENT” which IN WESTERN CULTURE is GIVEN PRIORITY over NATURAL SENSE-EXPERIENCE GROUNDED “NEED”.   In WESTERN CULTURE, “ENTITLEMENT” is the basis for progressive INCREASING in the DISPARITY of PAID WAGES between “MANAGEMENT” and “WORKER”, which has risen from 15: 1 in 1970 to 324:1 in 2026.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WESTERN CULTURE “IS ENFORCING THIS RISING DIFFERENCE IN ASSESSING MANAGER AND WORKER VALUE CONTRIBUTION” ON THE ARBITRARY BASIS OF “ENTITLEMENT” which DIFFERS RADICALLY FROM INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE VALUES; as suggested in the following comparison table;

Western culture and Indigenous/Aboriginal worldviews differ across core dimensions of knowledge, relationship to the land, time, and community. 

Dimension Indigenous / Aboriginal Beliefs Western Culture Beliefs
Knowledge & Truth Holistic and experiential, recognizing multiple truths and oral/intergenerational transmission. Scientific and compartmentalized, relying on empirical proof to seek a single objective truth.
Connection to Land Sacred and living, where humans are an extension of nature and must live sustainably. A resource, viewed as an object of study or property for commercial development and extraction.
View of Time Cyclical and intergenerational, connecting past, present, and future as an ongoing circle. Linear and chronological, moving forward in sequential events with a focus on short-term or immediate goals.
Human Status Relational and equal, seeing humans as part of a web of life where no single species is supreme. Anthropocentric (human-centered), placing humans at the top of a hierarchy with dominion over nature.
Wealth & Success Communal, amassing resources to share and ensure the survival and harmony of the group. Individual, driven by personal gain, private ownership, and individual goal achievement.
Well-Being Relational, measured by the strength of social connections, family ties, and balance with the environment. Goal-oriented, measured by personal milestones, status, career success, and material accumulation.

As David Bohm and others have shown, the Indigenous Aboriginal beliefs are strongly aligned with Modern physics understanding as with the very basic issue of OUR (human) INCLUSION the the world we are ‘looking out at’ rather than regarding the world as a resource base to cannibalize.

A few months before his death, Bohm met with a number of Algonkian speakers and was struck by the perfect bridge between their language and worldview and his own exploratory philosophy. What to Bohm had been major breakthroughs in human thought — quantum theory, relativity, his implicate order and rheomode – were part of the everyday life and speech of the Blackfoot, Mic Maq, Cree and Ojibwaj.” 

– F. David Peat, ‘Blackfoot Physics’

 

The title of this essay; “WE KNOW WHERE THE GROWTH IN MASS SHOOTINGS IS COMING FROM, BUT WE ARE OBLIGED NOT TO OPENLY STATE IT.” is pointing to the fact that the ADMINISTRATION that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are putting in charge of such investigations, is operating on the MISTAKEN BINARY LOGIC based understanding that the source of the problem lies within an alleged PERPETRATOR as in a PERPETRATOR-VICTIM SPLIT.  In reality, we cannot assume the “health” of the social collective and isolate the ‘issue’ as if within the PERPETRATOR.  The more general understanding is the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based understanding which opens up the possibility that the ENVIRONMENT IS TOXIC as in the example of the Miner’s Canary whose VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR was INDUCED by the TOXIC ENVIRONMENT.  IN this case, the REMEDY is to resolving the TOXICITY in the ENVIRONMENT which may be INVISIBLE to those who have ADAPTED TO THE TOXICITY and who may have become part of the PROBLEM.  For example, the SOURCE of TOXICITY in a community dynamic may derive from STALWART MEMBERS (when the going gets tough, the tough get going).  This has been pointed out by the MORE PSYCHOLOGICALLY ROBUST members of a community may co-cultivate a TOXIC ENVIRONMENT that induces PSYCHOSIS in healthy individuals who are simply MORE SENSITIVE than the majority (as discussed in Jill Astbury’s CRAZY FOR YOU: The Making of Women’s (more senstive people’s) Madness.   The point is that MASS SHOOTINGS may be the PRODUCT OF A TOXIC SOCIAL COLLECTIVE in which case, the eliminating or incarcerating of the SHOOTER IS NO REMEDY, and the confusing wherein the community BELIEVES IT IS, leads to the unadressed growth of the problem due to the REMEDIAL LADDER BEING UP THE WRONG TREE.
