Anankelogy is the new social science for the understanding of our needs. Assumed to be too subjective for scientific inquiry, anankelogy demonstrates how a 'need' exists as an objective fact apart from subjective experience. Now we can get to the bottom of things like never before. Introducing Anankelogy Ananke is the classical Greek word for 'need'. Anankelogy is the disciplined study of need. A need is an objective fact. Anankelogy illustrates how a prioritized n eed exists as an objective phenomeno n. What until now we have delegated to divisive politics and adversarial justice can now be scrutinized with more precision and thoughtful discipline. Anankelogy illustrates how a natural need exists as objective phenomenon. As such, it can be impartially observed, predictably determined and empirically measured. We can understand needs much better than we ever could before. A prioritized need is also an objective fact. By focusing on our inflexible needs, anankelogy can get to the point of our different social sciences. Introducing anankelogy Anankelogy Foundation covers this new social science in three forms: academic, applied, and accessible. Ex plore each in more detail below.

Placeholder Image mass avoidance mass avoidance < Back 2 mass avoidance Mass avoidance is the widespread norm of not personally engaging with others or in something that seems uncomfortable or threatening. Need experience Where vulnerability avoidance occurs on a personal level, mass avoidance occurs on a collective level. If few of us can feel safely vulnerable to be totally honest with others, or with ourselves, more of us will assume avoidance is common. Other reasons emerge to avoid the avoidable. Avoiding all that seems or is unpleasant crystallizes into a shared norm. We admit our fears to no one. We keep our guard up all the time. We provoke each other’s defensiveness, blaming each other. Fewer of our needs ever fully resolve. We suffer more and more. We function less and less. Defunctionalizing Refunctionalizing Examples The widespread evasion of our natural tendency to first estimate the trustworthiness of others by their most visible features, lest we get publicly labeled as a bigot. Relational knowing The fewer others are dropping their guard to expose their full authenticity, the less likely you will risk dropping your guard to expose your authentic self to raw rejection. The more others avoid, the more you avoid. The more we all avoid, and socially punish those who expose their authentic full being, the more normatively we all avoid matters we would otherwise face more courageously.

10 < Back to list A. Character refunction 10 A justice Justice is defined here as resolving needs on par with others resolving their needs. This includes being free from others trying to ease their need at your expense. Or others being free from you easing your needs at their expense. 10 .1 A Need experience Justice only exists to serve needs. The idea of justice as each getting what is deserved, good or bad, easily overlooks the evolution of need . Anankelogic justice occurs when needs fully resolve to enable each to reach their peakfunctional potential. Anything less is at best a mere form of justice. At the root of all violence and at the root of all injustice are unresolved needs. Apart from needs to be resolved fairly, there is no such thing as justice. In contrast to the defunction of justifism , anankelogic justice raises the standard to resolving all needs affected by a challenged interaction. It is not enough to ease the pain of suffered violence, or for the state to strengthen its stance as a paternalistic arbiter of enforcing “law and order .” While no one sits above the law, no law sits above the needs it exists to serve. Following nature’s impartiality, anankelogic justice addresses any violent interaction provoking justice needs. Resolving underserved social-needs provoked by systemic forms of violence sits equally important as resolving underserved self-needs provoked by interpersonal acts of violence. Personal, interactional and societal functioning depends on equally resolving all affected needs. 10 .2 A Defunctionalizing Info This subsection applies 'relational knowing' statements to illuminate how this defunction relationally lowers your ability to fully function. It is typically framed with more/more or more/less or less/more or less/less associations that can be empirically tested. 10 .3 A Refunctionalizing Info This subsection applies 'relational knowing' statements to illuminate how this defunction could be turned around to raise your ability to function. It also uses more/more or more/less or less/more or less/less associations that can be empirically tested. 10 .4 A Example(s) This subsection offers some examples of this defunction you may observe affecting your life. Usually more than one example is provided. If reading this, there are no examples yet to this defunction. 10 .5 A Associated defunctions This subsection points to similar or applicable defunctions. If reading this, there are no defunctions specifically associated with this defunction. 10 .6 A Relevant refunctions This subsection points to relevant or complementary refunctions. If reading this, there are no relevant defunctions to correlate with this defunction. 10 .7 A Applicable principles This subsection points to those anankelogical principles that aptly apply to this defunction. If reading this, there are no anankelogical principles related specifically to this defunction. 10 .8 A Referenced blog posts This subsection points to those blog entries that relate to, or cite, this particular defunction. If reading this, there are no blog entries yet related specifically to this defunction. Date created: 8/29/23 Type: Date revised: A. Character refunction The more you pursue what is fair for all, the more your needs resolve. There is more to justice than grieving a loss due to violence. Step beyond mere relief to address your needs with others on par with them addressing their needs with you. Hold others accountable who try to ease their needs or wants at your unwelcome expense. While life isn't fair, interactions in relationships are either fair with balanced results or that relationship does not work. Instead of reacting with revenge, embarrass them by responding to their needs better than they respond to yours. Hold both sides to the same standard of conduct for any relation.

6 < Back to list A. Character refunction 6 A grace Grace , as used here, is meeting someone where they honestly are at in their development or in their situation; while humbly allowing others to meet you where you honestly are at in your development or situation. 6 .1 A Need experience Behind the idea of grace is unearned favor. When you don’t have to work for something you receive as a gift, you experience grace. When giving unconditionally, the giver is being gracious. Grace flourishes with humility and honesty. When you can humbly admit your honest imperfections, you make it easier for others to meet you where you are at. Grace can only meet you where you are at instead of where you hope to be, present yourself to be, or believe yourself to be. You may demand another to respect you, then realize they can’t. So you meet them where they are honestly at. You recognize how it only takes one disturbing incident to traumatize the vulnerable, and only one traumatic event to instill a sense of debilitating powerlessness in them. You let go of your rigid expectation for respect when being gracious to their situation. You make it easier for them to be gracious back to you. 6 .2 A Defunctionalizing Info This subsection applies 'relational knowing' statements to illuminate how this defunction relationally lowers your ability to fully function. It is typically framed with more/more or more/less or less/more or less/less associations that can be empirically tested. 6 .3 A Refunctionalizing Info This subsection applies 'relational knowing' statements to illuminate how this defunction could be turned around to raise your ability to function.

If reading this, there are no blog entries yet related specifically to this defunction. Date created: 8/26/23 Type: Date revised: A. Character refunction The more you humbly admit your current imperfections, the more your needs resolve. Admit where you are honestly at in life, and not quite where you or others expect you to be. Release yourself from unrealistic expectations, and appreciate getting to your goals one step at a time. Allow room for unavoidable setbacks. Meet others where they are at, instead of where you may expect them to be. With more grace, observe more needs resolving. Previous Next Discuss at our Engagement forum
