I must constantly emphasize that our human languages are missing concepts, words, and metaphors… without which, our intelligence cannot really function correctly; in fact, it starts to attack itself in their absence.

But perhaps even more catastrophic, is that the holophores we do possess (root concepts like star, world, person, ally, animal, plant, eye, universe, light, space, time) have become severely damaged by long abstraction and eccentricities introduced by the trances of hubris generated by our seeming technical expertise. This is like a form of extreme lossy compression that keeps getting re-applied to the media of our intelligence until the remainder is mostly artifact.

The result isn’t intelligence, but a set of relational cognitive diseases that masquerade as effective cognition in order to acquire the developmental and energetic resources our actual intelligence would otherwise enjoy.

When one cannot understand why some set of humans has done something catastrophically vicious or ignorant this specific problem is always (as in fact it must be) at the root of every such event.

If we cannot solve -these- matters, our revolutions will simply re-establish these specific problems in new garb, over and over again, at ever-rising prices. This is what has been happening for some few thousand years now.

I realize that the distribution of material wealth seems a compelling problem: but consider that our actual relational intelligence has been hemorrhaging for some few thousand years, and with each generation the injury widens exponentially…
