Socially invisible BIPOC as a tribally enrolled Oneida of Wisconsin I visibly have European ancestry (German), but identify more as indigenous. I pass as a white person, which costs me authentic relating. I am BIPOC to the core. You can consider me a PBOC: a person bleached of color. As a result of past government policy to "kill the Indian but save the man", I am a "pale faced Indian", to use an outdated term. I risk being cast as a "pretendian ". That's someone claiming to be Native American for its apparent gains, but has no actual roots in any indigenous nation. I must continually resist acculturation and internalized colonization in a world judging books by their covers. I do not consider myself as a two-spirit, but as a "transspirit" who is spiritually compelled to transcend convention to live holistically. I am now more Anishinaabe in my cultural leanings since moving to MI.

Glossary I improperly resolving needs (v.) To resolve one's own needs at the involuntary expense of others, negatively impacting their needs. For example, stealing their food (negatively impacting their need for food security) so you can satiate your hunger. You fully resolve your body's nutrient requirements in a way that prevents others from fully resolving their needs. Opposite to properly resolving needs . See objective evil or evil . indulgent side-taking (n. & v. ) - DEFUNCTION The defunction of choosing to support a side in some conflict against the opposing side as a way to pacify discomfort, instead of taking the disciplined approach of empathy and mutual regard to address each other’s affected needs. This shameless rush to a take side typically... overemphasizes each other's differences while disregarding common ground, relies on impersonal arguments to avoid engaging relevant specifics, resists addressing or resolving needs when easing discomfort of those needs, opposes the other side’s inflexible needs that they cannot change, called moral conflation (i.e., conflates unchosen needs with chosen responses to them), misapplies critique of moral relativism and moral neutrality , provokes the opposed side’s defensiveness to produce more of what is opposed , and self-righteously and arrogantly serves own conflict porn to win at the expense of others. Although aiming to ease pain, it usually results in more pain since it overlooks the affected needs prompting that pain (i.e., discomfort avoidance ). See premature opposition and oppo culture . This contrasts with a more disciplined approach to take a side on a contested issue, which could include a negotiated agreement on a resolution path to mutually solve the issue. The key distinction is between an intent to relieve discomfort and to resolve needs . See easement orientation and conflict orientation . See adversarialism and avoidant adversarialism . inflexible need (n. ) Another identifier of core needs, organic needs, or natural needs . Refers to unchosen needs that automatically occur in response to a diminished ability to function. Distinguishes from flexible responses to needs, which colloquially can be called a need, but anankelogy refers to as a preference or access need . E.g., I inflexibly need water when thirsty but if I say I need a bottle of water, I am more accurately saying that I prefer the water that my body requires to be provided in a bottle. Since water is the only or primary way to restore by body's fluid equilibrium, it is an inflexible need since I cannot choose anything else that would restore my fluid equilibrium as effectively. The bottle is a flexible "access need" since I could flexibly get the water I inflexibly need directly from a faucet or a glass. Distinguishing between inflexible natural needs and flexible access needs can save us from many unfortunate problems. We often falsely expect others to change their inflexible needs. We would do better to focus on flexible access needs, on how we each flexibly respond to our core inflexible needs. Otherwise, you may find that what you reactively resist you tend to reflexively reinforce . A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z < back to glossary menu

There is no greater revolution than to revolve back to love. < Back H04 Love Principle List of all principles There is no greater revolution than to revolve back to love. Image: Pixabay - Engin_Akyurt (click on meme to see source image) Summary The more any revolution upends how any one faction can address their needs, the more such a social disruption plants the seeds for another revolution of drastic political change. The more any sweeping societal change enables mutual respect toward resolving more needs, the greater staying power such a transformation can have. We all function better with the mutual respect of love. Description If stuck in a tyrannical situation, which do you think would produce better results? Political change that replaces one ideology with another. OR Political change that inspires us all to be more loving to all.What we can now understand with anankelogical insight. Anankelogy Academic anankelogy. For now, this serves as placeholder text. When I find the time, I will post the full deal here. Any drastic change that favors one group’s needs over another easily provokes pushback. Anankelogy posits a predictable cycle unfolds for each revolution. If accountably more responsive to the people’s needs, then that revolution can take hold. If violently more reactive to the point of neglecting the people’s needs, such a revolution cannot last. This cyclic pattern presents in for phases: Dynamic – new following : A fresh approach to neglected needs gains a foothold, then gains popular support with growing traction. Dogmatism – new extremists : Much of it gets watered down to make it easier for wider adoption, which overlooks some needs. Disillusion – new detractors : Critics emerge to call out its neglect of the bigger picture, and these gain their own counter-following. Distinction: new ideas : Detractors champion a counternarrative that tends to pit themselves against the old guard. You could think of the third phase as the contrary group entering their first phase. And the fourth phase occurs when the contrary group steps into their version of the second phase. The more adversarial the revolution or introduced change, the more the new group predisposes its own eventual demise. Let’s illustrate this by comparing the American Revolution with the subsequent French Revolution. The US Constitution persists as a governing document, while the French approach ignited more resistance. Dynamic – new following : American revolutionaries called for more disciplined forms of governance, more responsive to the needs of the governed. French revolutionaries called for an overhaul of society will minimal attention to the affected needs of the governed. Dogmatism – new extremists : American revolutionaries amicably split between pro-central government Federalists and decentral government Anti-Federalists, sliding toward civil tensions mostly resolved. Frech revolutionaries split between monarchist Girondins and anti-royalist Jacobins, sliding towards insurrections and the Reign of Terror. Disillusion – new detractors : American revolutionaries spurred ideals that attracted calls for greater democracy by the early 19th Century, complementing the republican foundation. Frech revolutionaries spurred drastic changes that crashed the revolution within a decade, replaced by Napolean as Emperor. Distinction: new ideas : American revolutionaries eventually inspired greater inclusion of historically excluded peoples. Frech revolutionaries expelled the clergy and royalists to champion their own short-lived supremacy. The American system provides more room to honor the needs of others as one’s own. The French system imposed one’s own needs at the uncompensated expense of others. The American system encouraged mutuality, of a shared connection. The French system exploited adversarialism, of infighting and self-destruction. The more the American system now gravitates toward adversarialism, and away from mutual support of each other’s needs with love, the closer it draws to its own demise. Need-response Need-response seeks to replace adversarialism norms with mutuality practices. Instead of seeking drastic changes to relieve the pain of your own socially neglected needs, your supported as you endure the natural discomfort of resolving your own needs on par with others resolving theirs. The needs themselves never clash . Only how we respond to our competing needs. Adversarialism squanders our human potential to work through how best to address our competing needs, wasting precious energies and scant resources opposing each other’s inflexible needs . Mutuality, encouraged by the discipline of need-response, cultivates our human potential to love one another, to honor the needs of others as our own, and to maintain awareness of how each other’s actions impact each other’s inflexible needs. The aim is not to relieve pain, which risks perpetuating pain by neglecting the needs prompting the pain. Rather, the aim is to resolve as many of each other’s needs as possible. To improve wellness outcomes of all. Any drastic change that enables all to resolve more of their needs, with minimal to no negative impacts, tends to hold in place. The more response to needs, the better we all become. The more reactive to the pain of unmet needs, the worse we all become. Reactive Problem You may find the words of Jesus and others inspiring who assert love as our highest ideal. But then you regard that as merely aspirational, too unreachable to take seriously in our modern worlds. Instead of honoring the needs of others as your own, you’re quick to oppose them. Your own unmet needs burn inside you with a clawing sense of urgency. You find no space to consider what others may need. Especially if they seem cold toward you and your affected needs. Modernity expects you to take charge of your own needs. You agree that it’s irresponsible to wait on others. Each person must competitively fend for themselves. This hyper-individualism narrative fuels your false sense of urgency. If you must solve all of your own problems, even if part of it stems from elsewhere, then you best start now. But you honestly cannot pull yourself up by your bootstraps in every situation. Oversimplifying your individualism spells trouble. From your standardized isolation, you tend to react in ways worsening the situation. You generalize how to relieve the resulting pain, which overlooks the needs causing you pain. You cling to your trusted generalizations more as their familiarity provides your only promise for relief. Meanwhile, you lose sight of how the power of love can liberate you from this mess. Responsive Solution Need-response flips the script on overgeneralizing personal responsibility. Not be vacillating to the opposite extreme of collective responsibility. But by applying the discipline to exhaust all internal and external contributors affecting each need. And much more. Need-response can either complement or compete with current institutions and modalities trusted to address our needs. Only need-response asserts the power of love—or honoring the inflexible needs of others as our own—as its central guiding best practice. Need-response could revolutionize how we address our problems. Legalist systems of politics and adversarial justice tend to perform poorly. Need-response could replace much of their built-in limits. Instead of championing your self-interest, you seek to understand the inflexible needs of others. Instead of disagreeing with their questionable views, you relate to what shaped those views. Instead of provoking their defenses, you mutually engage each other’s affected needs. Instead of getting trapped in mutual defensiveness, you mutually understand each other. Instead of seeking policies to favor your interests, you mutually support resolving each other’s needs. Instead of provoking outrage and hate, we all encourage each other’s social love . Compared to the legalistic options of political change, a need-responsive revolution has potential to grow much deeper roots. The more responsive to everyone’s inflexible needs, the more sustainably it can improve our personal and shared wellness. That’s the durable power of love . Responding to your needs How does this principle speak to your experience of needs? Post in our Engagement forum your thoughtful response to one of these: The more I honor the needs of some, the more they exploit me. So what do I do about that? What if I don’t want any revolution because I am content with the status quo? As a person of faith, I believe the power of God is the only source for a good revolution. I sense we need a revolution right now, before we all destroy ourselves. Instead of selecting one of these, post your own engagement feedback about your experience with the subject of this principle.
