As Carol Gilligan, Sherry Turkle, & Helene Cixous continue to remind us, the intentions, norms, institutions, agencies, and identities that reflect a feminist mosaic need to better support social intuitionism as a moral foundation for more effectively removing the sociolinguistic structures which perpetuates the subjugation of femininity (and other “double-standards”) as they are lingering in essentialist, foundationalist, and fundamentalist aspects of Western culture.
- Promoting an informed, engaged, & wise global citizenry and participatory transnational Democracy.
- Elevating “Conceptual Age” skills (design, story, symphony, empathy, play, & meaning) in order to remedy the shortcomings of residuals from the preceding "Information Age" and "Industrial Age."
- Preventing media pollution, information disorder, & “techno-lust” from further disrupting our social, cultural, political, & economic ecosystems.
- Championing mindful “meta-literacies” (i.e. becoming adept bullsh*t detectives) involving the creation, selection, organization, presentation, diffusion, consumption, & preservation stages for "processing" IMT artefactual innovations.
- Adopting the principles of "Data Feminism": Examining power; challenging power; elevating emotion & embodiment; rethinking binaries & hierarchies; embracing pluralism; considering context; and making labor visible.
We require a new kind of shared lexicon for recognizing the utilities of past dichotomies without unwanted interference by the logical contradictions and paradoxes that ensue. These will be new conventions for transcending historical stereotypic taboos (e.g. it isn’t masculine to show sadness or feminine to show anger). The universality of human experiences (both internal and external ) should not invite these ongoing disconnections which are causing unnecessary discordances from manufactured, artificial consumerist needs, wants, and desires which are the shortcomings of advertising practices that turn our daily living habits into marketing data for exploitative gains – leaving us feeling like we are hamsters stuck in this wheel of “rigged games” given our normal tendencies involving tribalism (i.e. ethnocentric biases and other shortsighted stereotypic approaches).
As I continue to assert that "the medium is the lesson," I am revisiting a variety of inspirational musical artists who have served as ethnographic subjects for my theses, antitheses, and other avenues for social progress and transformative justice. Christopher Small calls this approach “Musicking” and I recommend this work: <https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/37975693> as it supports mind-body connections through the language of the spirit and reconceptualizing music as an active experience (rather than another commercial product for consumption) -- and why documentaries became the preferred format for this work: <https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/985447230>.

Advocating for better consumer safeguards and sustainable
economic reform in the age of surveillance capitalism for "wising up" from rationality to morality in this emerging "Conceptual
Age."
Stopping the epidemics of misinformation, disinformation, & malinformation (propaganda)
from disrupting our information, media, & technology (IMT) ecosystems by
facilitating the effective, appropriate, & ethical comprehension/production
of IMT artefacts on our journeys toward integrative recovery & holistic
wellbeing.
Facilitating the acquisition of lifelong literacies, instead of reinforcing the perception that "natural vulnerabilities" are "permanent deficiencies," as a community of learners struggling to fight the onslaught of unhealthy messages generated by practices which condone/promote the exploitation of typical human fallibilities reinforcing the greedy, violent, and misogynistic approaches of a plutocratic tyranny who resorts to criminalizing, pathologizing, and otherwise blaming the victims of their wanton ludicrousness.
Alerting
consumers to the impact of numerous illusions and other deceptive
efforts that turn our individual differences into manufactured
deviations (and other forms of "learned helplessness"); thereby
revealing systemic injustices that are perpetuated by ongoing
inequitable power dynamics (i.e. colonialism) and other accessibility
barriers to the basic resources that support our universal human needs,
wants, & desires.
Building a taskforce of nonviolent communicators who are:
- Promoting an informed, engaged, & wise global citizenry and participatory transnational Democracy. (cf: listography)
- Elevating “Conceptual Age” skills (design, story, symphony, empathy, play, & meaning) in order to remedy the shortcomings of residuals from the preceding "Information Age" and "Industrial Age."
- Preventing media pollution, information disorder, & “techno-lust” from further disrupting our social, cultural, political, & economic ecosystems.
- Championing mindful “meta-literacies” (i.e. becoming adept bullsh*t detectives) involving the creation, selection, organization, presentation, diffusion, consumption, & preservation stages for "processing" IMT artefactual innovations.
- Adopting the principles of "Data Feminism": Examining power; challenging power; elevating emotion & embodiment; rethinking binaries & hierarchies; embracing pluralism; considering context; and making labor visible.
