Anthrohistory Class
Tempting to offer an anthropological history class
and call it Earth History,
beginning with our current
messy
riled up
LeftBrain emergently dominating
our fracturing Anthropocene.
While trust seems true
and wise
when our public educational system
holds up humanism
and capitalism
as, together, supportive
of our underlying survival
of the fittest evolutionary orthodoxy,
Over in the Religious Studies Department,
we enjoy a wider variety,
from monotheistic
through panentheistic
to atheistic
disregard for dynamic political
and economic EarthHealth
Communal History.
Cultural climate history
also feels true
and trusted
from a more inclusive lens,
remembering back
and back
and back
When Earth's most robust
and resilient capitalism,
competitive organisms,
required an underlying universal
multicultural value
for win/win egalitarian life-norms
supporting robustly transactional
regenerative
positive
healthy
ecosystemic creolizing outcomes.
Where normative expectations
of cooperative rules
for human
and Other life-systems integrity
are absent,
Including healthy democracy
educational systems,
EarthTribes do not experience
a satisfying competitive atmosphere
of resiliently developed
win/lose zero-sum capitalism;
Instead,
throughout recorded
LeftBrain dominant
Anthropocene history,
humans decry lack of sacred integrity
as theft,
greed,
piracy,
toxic corruption,
viral eruption,
bad business deception,
egregious predation
technological militarization
Of these shunning
shaming
blaming things,
EarthWars evolve;
Not Trust
and Truth
and Integrity
through nonzero-soulful
healthy wealth
Of cooperative green economies
dustily uncovered
in Taoist co-governing Balance,
polypathic Zeroism co-binary ballast,
YangUniversal-YinUnitarian
win/win transactional
primally interdependent
relationships
Of SunLight/EarthPower energy systems,
synergetically co-gravitating
left/right bicamerally internal
west/east bilaterally external
north/south ecopolitically dipolar
Co-arising polyculturally healthy
co-empathic learning
ego-1/eco-0
not not win/win living
double-binary
both Left and Right
secular/sacred health
co-pedagogically interdependent
Regeneratively robust
cooperative healthcare
as experienced in safe
perennially enlightened/empowered
bicamerally resilient
educational systems
Offering an anthropological history class
called PolyCultural Earth History,
beginning with our current
messy
riled up LeftBrain
emergently dominating
our fracturing
traumatic
stressful
troubled
anxious
multicultural school closing
Anthropocene.
