Problems of Success

Old misunderstandings of how Earth
and Her species
evolve,
regeneratively and degeneratively change,
sometimes in revolutionary expansive/implosive quick and great transitions,
but more traditionally in slow-grow evolving/devolving spacetime development,
are often summarized in secular capitalism's
Might Makes Fighting Right.

While this does capture the Yang strength side
of Earth's fast revolutions and slow evolutions,
PermaCulture Design's principles for long-term polycultural success,
rather than endosymbiotic monoculturing
this generation only, short-term success,
stresses our need to return,
to repent, say the prophets,
to revive, say the preachers,
to restore, say the peacemakers,
by turning from highly individualistic competing yields
from non-renewable fuel-driven technologies,
as if only mammon were God-Given
to set a devolving clock backward 
toward non-regenerative energy descent,
degenerative trends
and systemic traumas of our current overshoot
into Anthropocene climate pathologies,
internally anthropocentric 
and externally anti-ecological.

Succeeding time in evolutionary reverse,
appears revolutionary to those of us who have been chosen
by compassionate capitalism's ecological transition conclusions
to retrain old faith and reliance
on using less colonizing and criminializing 
and more sustainably resonant yields
from Father Sun's solar Yang-radiant strength
and Mother Earth's wind and water Yin-nurturing flows 
renewing recycling restoring regenerating resources.

This is not so much about anger competition management,
and more about restoring ego/eco balancing justice.

The problem of Might Makes Right success stories
is they patriarchally dominate,
and matriarchally sublimate,
Yin's ecofeminist flow opportunities
for maximum yield
and nurturing optimal compassionate communication
reinvestment.

Patriarchy's individualism,
intrinsic domineering search for supremacy,
hides its oppression of our bilateral
nondual co-arising yin/yang
recessive-reverse-hierarchical
network stretching and extending 
multiculturing ego/eco 
synergetic opportunities.

Yin's embryonic,
womb-like,
internal nutrition + external nurturing 
ego/eco symbiotic equi-valence
within an open ecological Universe,
with win+win positive polynomial
polypathic bicamerality,
double-binds negative ambivalent 
not(not P)

Present effects reverse-time causing dipolar co-arising
spiral re-linearity,
the very sideways holonic
fractal/octave "8" scale octave structure
of regenerative bilateral DNA
and RNA,
and our iconic nature symbol for Eternity

without stipulating whether perpetuating successes
emerge toward Paradise
or DualDark entropic chaos,
dark Yang v Yin
over light C-Yin and C-Yang
as c-squared dipolar appositional
as Eulerian ergodic harmonic fractal
as Fullerian 0-deep soul cooperative synergetic thermodynamics
of/for
from/toward
deduct freedom from/induct freedom to
Left/Right 
4-equivalent dimensional 
co-binary organic spacetime.

This problem with capitalism's evolutionary success
is its cultural weight too far beyond devolutionary overshoot
of Might Makes Patriarchally Left v Matriarchal Right Bright
outmoded unbalanced 
upper-caste preservation paradigms.

This way of not seeing,
and therefore, voting for autocracy,
perversely supporting unhealthy Earth's anti-wealthiest devolutionary future
is intrinsically anti-religious,
anti poly- and pan-theistic,
anti-polyamorous
anti-sacred ecology
in general
against basic ego/ecojustice 
principles of resilient peacemaking.

Capitalism's competitive excesses
desecrate Earth's cooperative Commons
essentially by denying this wisdom of cooperative
democratic reinvestment in future healthy abundance

WinLose games and ecopolitical strategics of Me Against You
do not sustain when they dominate
within an ecosystem,
a population,
a democratic citizenry,
a universe,
a ReIterative Communication Gaming Frame

Within attempts to retain open communication lines,
requiring both cognitive speaking skills
and bilateral cause-effect-cause 
recycling 
co-arising listening skills.

If capitalism is a true success of Earth's wealth history,
how is it also not potential failure
for Earth's healthiest Paradise retention potential?

Scientific method,
to become and remain optimally successful,
has always theoretically watched
for importance of both deductive Win v Lose tests,
and cooperative 
mutually inductive, 
co-informing communications
transcending specialized paradigms,
promoting Win+Win expansive learning
to reiteratively predict co-relational outcomes

Not just information about what has been consumed
from our past,
but also wisdom about what we could produce
more transcendently danced and sung
sexed and spoken together.

Too long articulated hypostasis
is also too immature integral potential;
these two nondually co-arising together
rebeginning ourselves toward dipolar re-acclimations.

I would certainly agree with one of your many points - sometimes success brings a loss of the ability to communicate with the average joe, unsuccessful as he might be.
