24 May 2021 – Few would question the importance of dialogue in this period of global crises and poisonous divisiveness. There are of course many approaches to dialogue although it is less evident how their insights translate into the challenges of inter-national, inter-faith, inter-cultural, inter-sectoral, and inte-disciplinary dialogue in practice. There are many calls for dialogue as a substitute for conflict. There is however a sense in which the appreciation of dialogue is somewhat superficial — reinforced by exercises in which it only takes token and symbolic form as a feature of public relations.

6 Nov 2020 – The lack of progress in the UN/OSCE mediation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict indicates that non-governmental networks of conflict resolution must be developed. As Anthony Judge has pointed on TMS, one must choose one’s metaphor or symbol for a political situation with care. The metaphor of the flowing streams coming together in confluence to become a river of consequence may be the appropriate metaphor.

Transformation of a Civilization of Spikes and Penis Surrogates via Global Reset Mandalas ~~ In a period of crisis, which the conventions of global governance have been unable to address, much is now being made by elites of the need for a “Global Reset”, most notably articulated and promoted by the World Economic Forum and influential institutions at its annual Davos Forum. Use of “reset” is an appealing metaphor for techno-optimists who are typically inspired by familiarity with the ability to reset a computer rendered inoperable by one or more applications.

The existence of “evil” is now widely recognized by world leaders. However, so little is done to explore how the organization of the “demonic forces” might be comprehended — beyond the geometrical allusion to an Axis of Evil. Especially problematic is the degree to which those qualifying others as evil tend to be so qualified. Even more remarkable is the failure to clarify how the “angelic forces” are organized.

The following argument explores the sense in which the very form of the virus effectively mirrors the nature of global civilization at this time. To an interesting degree it could be asked whether COVID-19 “is” global civilization — or whether global civilization “is” COVID-19. Like it or not, does the coronavirus effectively define the identity of global civilization as humanity has chosen to engender it?

Zome Modelling Dynamics Allowing for Uncertainty in Perception of Order in Governance? Given widespread urgent calls for a “Global Plan” in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the argument first challenges the appropriateness of any “plan” in a global context. This is contrasted with the so-called doughnut model which has been presented as appropriate to ensuring a safe operating space for humanity.

30 Mar 2020 – The presentations here follow from an argument previously made suggesting that there were insights to be gained from the form of the coronavirus in 3D. In particular this highlighted the possible isomorphism between the configuration of spikes on the viral form and psychosocial forms potentially characterized in terms of “spikes”.

The future may well marvel at the primary strategy advocated globally in response to the coronavirus pandemic, namely social distancing. The question here is the viability of social distancing on a planet on which overcrowding is already widely recognized — but as a purely local challenge. This is most evident in the restriction of access of tourists to popular destinations. The reality of local overcrowding is the theme of a separate argument which notes the total unreality of global implications

The concern is with the accumulation of clues to a dramatic commemoration of the process, inspired by the Passion Plays so widely used with respect to the Trial of Jesus. The focus here is however on identification of dramatic elements and processes which might serve to highlight the passion for truth, most obviously associated with investigative journalism, and to a lesser degree by other disciplines exposed to lesser risk.

Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 10 Feb 2020
10 Feb 2020 – The discourse between those in favour of capitalism and those critical of it is now a characteristic of those concerned with social progress in general. The criticism of alternatives variously proposed could be said to follow a similar pattern. Both “sides” are comfortable with their understanding of the appropriateness of their own perspective and the dangerously misinformed inefficacy of the other — readily extended to framing what is opposed as fundamentally “evil”.

The argument follows from the controversial assertion recently made by President Macron of France with respect to the “brain death” of NATO and the potential implications for any “global brain”. The question that is obviously raised with respect to the brain metaphor is the nature of the “brain waves” which might be detectable as indicative of life and intelligence in any global collective such as the United Nations or in any “think tank” (originally termed a “brain box”).

Imagining Toroidal Life as a Sustainable Alternative
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 9 Sep 2019
From Globalization to Toroidization or Back to Flatland? Much is made of the fundamental shift in historical perspective from living on a Flat Earth to dwelling on a rotating sphere — a globe revolving around the Sun. The argument here endeavours to clarify the manner in which the toroidal form can be used in support of imaginative insight of strategic relevance — for the individual, if not for the collective.

There is however a case for exploring the choice of the footprint metaphor given its associations with the most distant part of the human anatomy, however grounded it may be held to be — despite being necessarily left behind.

International Complicity in Avoidance of Consideration of Long-term Human Suffering – In a period when much is made of the consequences of evolution of global warming over the coming decades and to the end of the century — highlighted by extreme weather conditions — virtually nothing is discussed about the evolution of migration pressure over the decades to come. Whereas statistical estimates are available on the former, none are officially available on the latter.

It is currently irrelevant whether those procedures are in any way in question. Trump is therefore the legitimate representative of the American People.

1 Apr 2019 – The Tao symbol is widely known as an indication of viable harmony between opposites — understood as a possibility for a mature human civilization of the future. There is extensive commentary on the subtlety of the insight it represents, dating most notably from that of Laozi in the Tao Te Ching. This explains that the Tao is not a ‘name’ for a ‘thing’ but the underlying natural order of the Universe whose ultimate essence is difficult to circumscribe due to it being non conceptual yet evident in one’s being of aliveness.
