Is Our Mind Making Us Sick ? My New Book on the “Logic” Behind the World’s Collapse

Why our converging crises —from climate chaos to AI anxiety— are not separate problems, but symptoms of a single cognitive disease. And how the cure begins with a new “holistic logic”.

Universal Dimensions : From Physical to Synthetic

A flow of cosmic awareness imprints organizational principles that force a hierarchical progression of universal dimensions

This is chapter 5.3, Universal Dimensions : From Physical to Synthetic, extracted from Part 5 of the book “Metatolistics”.

The Cosmic Order and the flow of Its Awareness

A non-anthropomorphic, trans-conceptual principle that orders emergence without itself being a conscious agent.

This is chapter 5.2, The Cosmic Order and its flow of Awareness, extracted from Part 5 of the book “Metatolistics”.

The origin of our universe

Universes constantly originate and terminate in the cosmic background of Nothingness. 

 This is chapter 5.1,  Nothingness and the Dynamic Origin of Universes, extracted from Part 5 of the book “Metatolistics”.

Summary of “Metaholistics”

An Axiomatic Framework for a Coherent Abstract System of Holistic Logic

 

Conversations with AI’s about an “Abstract System of Holistic Logic”

While writing “The societal cultural field shapes the contemporary” my mind got captured by the thought that something is definitely missing in the debate about the consequences of the convergence of the multiple crises of Late Western Modernity. The hegemonic triumph of the West has indeed imposed its “abstract system of atomistic logic” as a one way street that has debased the process of societal knowledge formation. But this fact remains unacknowledged !

The book "metaholistics" is finally available for download.

An abstract system of holistic logic is most urgently needed to ensure the further reproduction of Homo-Sapiens. Metaholistics formalizes such a holistic system of logic. 

 

The path forward to an abstract system of holistic logic

From a purely logical perspective holism/atomism are the complementary polarities, that animate the spectrum of humanity’s epistemology, about the evolution of the cosmic order. Holism is a “local knowledge perspective” gained from a focus on the whole while atomism is a “local knowledge perspective” gained from a focus on the fundamental particles.

Atomism vs holism. Question 4

Would a coherent logical abstraction, of traditional holism, contain the potential to stand its ground against the mathematics of atomism ?

 I’m presently writing a 3rd book for the Volume 1 of the collection titled “The Transition from Western-Modernity to After-Modernity”. It is a conversation with 4 AI’s about the two approaches of metaphysics that have formed human historical worldviews. Holism is a “local knowledge perspective” gained from a focus on the whole while atomism is a “local knowledge perspective” gained from a focus on the fundamental particles.

Here follows question 4, of the 6 questions, I asked Perplexity, Le Chat Mistral, Deepseek and Qwen.

-- The archetypal model of power societies and its spread in the realm of civilizations

-- The knowledge paradigm of Modernity

-- The dualist, and materialist technical rationality, of Western-Modernity

Inevitable civilizational clash in the 21st century (02)

The convergence, of the societal dis-function of Western societies with the multiple side-effects of Western-Modernity, is confronting humanity with a predicament !

Before terminating the revision of "The interactive continuum of the cultural field of societies", I decided to share the first draft of the 3 chapters of its conclusion :

1. Summary of the revised Volume 1.

2. The convergence, of the societal dis-function of Western societies with the multiple side-effects of Western-Modernity, is confronting humanity with a predicament !   (Today's post)

3. How to escape the predicament of Late-Western-Modernity ?

Being shadow-banned I have to ask, if you happen to find this content of interest, to please share it with your friends.

Thanks. laodan.

Late-Western-Modernity and exceptionalism

Long time without posting

I'm terminating a revision of the Volume 1, of my series "The transition from Western-Modernity to After-Modernity", that is titled "The interactive continuum of the cultural field of societies". I have been plunged in this work for the last 6 months, 7 to 9 hours daily, 7/7. But this did not insulate me from what is going on in the world. I still read, and watch videos, 5 to 6 hours on average everyday. This informs my illustrations of the theories I write about with contemporary examples.

While reading the revision of the chapter titled "4.2.4.2. Late-Modernity and Western exceptionalism" I thought that it neatly sums up my views about the present Geopolitical situation so I decided to share it on my blog. 

 

The revision of Volume 1 will be available sometime within the next 2 weeks. 

Have a nice read and if you happen to agree with what I write please share this article with your friends.

New edition of "Concepts and synthesis"

I just uploaded the new edition of "Concepts and synthesis", the Volume 0 of the series about "The transition from Western-Modernity to After-Modernity". It is now available on my website.

 

 

 

 

The e-book "Daily reality and the news about it" is online.

I just uploaded the "Daily reality and the news about it".  It is now available on my website.

This e-book is a compilation and edited version, of my series of 5 articles under the same title that delves on the societal evolution of Homo-Sapiens which I argue is the brew out of which emerges our present reality. 

Daily reality and the news about it. Foreword & Afterword

Foreword

Emerging facts, that are separated from the context in which they appear, make no sense for the good reason that it is their context that procures them substance. In themselves facts are incomprehensible. Their meaning is in the outcome of the process that formed them. In light of this the imposition by the media of facts that are divorced from their context is necessarily a highly suspect act that reeks of propaganda, as the Hamas story that fills our media today plainly attests.

Graphs from the series "Daily reality and the news about it".

While formatting the content of the series of articles, about the "Daily reality and the news about it" in pdf book form, I thought that it would be useful to dedicate an article specifically to the graphs illustrating these articles.
