Healthy Democratic Powers

I was a Taoist philosophically and spiritually metaphysically and physically long before my Public Administration classes. Which may be poignantly of interest because the original Taoist teacher, LaoTse, taught sensory experiences of Yang-testosterone energy and Yin-estrogen synergy for a bicameral governing audience with questions about how to empower egocenters and ecosystems equitably, as democratically healthy as possible, while avoiding libertine chaos. One of the most useful, and curious, DeepLearnings that emerged in these Public Health Governance classes with Public Wealth Management professors is the yang/yin interplay between capitalist economics, with a profound Western monopoly on defining "value," AND democratic politics of self and Other, Me and We empowerment objectives. When RightWing economic conservatives look at the Constitution, They see YangPatriarchal scripture demanding sacred fealty, defining orthodox hierarchical structures to achieve "stay in the nationalistic competitive Black" and bottom-line financial balance between outgoing investments and incoming returns in experienced social cultural historically accumulating nationalistic closed-system GNP value, and don't worry so much about Earth's capacity to repair gross nationalistic consumption; As if democratic virtue is a free market bankable hoarded investment in opportunistic cancer for the personal ungoverned pleasure of those most successful at capitalism's win/lose game of empowering/disempowering patriarchal monotheistic straight-white privileged values. On the other hand, LeftWing political liberals step into embodied full-sensory enlightened mindbody circles to listen for Yin-ecofeminist historical/cultural democratically inclusive multicultural wisdom Refining polycultural revolving spirals of progressive empowerment to cooperatively achieve "you don't always have to multicolor democracy within unchanging dogmatic lines" in basic enslaving black or business imprisoned grey or maybe punishing brown or navy ballistic blue and white and red nationalistic supreme conservatism, And also notice top-line integral balance between outgoing economic empowerment and incoming democratic returns in co-empathic globally polyculturing historically inter-weaving EarthTribe deep cooperative listening and co-investing peace-making skills As if democratic health is a revolutionary blue/green/yellow/red/purple/orange multi-regenerational co-investment language for interpersonal pleasure governing those most successful with capitalizing on Yang's testosteroned win/win strengths for deep learning enlightening Yintegral ecofeminist ecopolitically encircling revolving repurposing reweaving regenerative values. Bankable cooperative re-investments for ecosystemic present and future Ultra-NonViolent regenerations of self/Other governing multiculturally intelligent GoldenRule and Ratio and Elixir inform/exflow perpetually regenerative communicators.
