INDIGENOUS GRAVITY

Last edited on 2/17/2026

Promoting the regenerative authority of Indigenous Star Knowledge, power and control, can become a proven supplement and cure to the harmful ideologies that hold up the structures of illness that perpetuate environmental devastation and the societal and cognitive behavioral roots of narcissistic industrial language. Indigenous knowledges share archetypes that lived with the land and still do. A war between tribes is on a much smaller scale than between countries, religions, races, and sexes. Be-cause when we localize and become present in the here and now, we reduce the worry- the warry, of the future, and instead learn from the revenge of the past, and adapt our systems of trade (language is a form of trading information & emotion). Sadly, there are too many dictators ruining the imperative of world safety, so we must learn how to conduct our evolution in the most creatively peaceful ways:

As a socially constructed “white” person/persin, my identity is commanded by a prompt of homogenized European language tactics, connected to a toxic legacy of thievery and gaslighting. Since I have mostly Euro DNA and a privileged upbringing, I cannot identify as a First Nations person of this country, and in the past, I thought I could call myself race-nonconforming -but I had to reconstruct my ideals in order to realize why it’s better to conform to the human race, and acknowledge my toxic white-privileged status among it, due to epidermal & ethnic racism, along with species-centrism. Skin color is directly targeted in a sickened-by-supremacists society, and skin color is more noticeable than gender, so one cannot “un-conform” to what color they are unless they change their skin color. Gender-Nonconforming is more unnoticeable, such as being androgynous, intersex, and transgender- because sometimes people simply cannot tell if somebody is female or male, as much as you can tell what color they are. So, to non-conform to my racial skin color is mostly impossible, unless I want to spend a bunch of money trying to change what I look like, which others have done (fake transracial, different than “mixed race”) -and I don’t feel like doing that.

I try my best not to appropriate as much as possible, although a lot of white culture is stolen from B.I.P.O.C. history and regurgitated, since the white race was invented/birthed later on in our species history (English is a young language; it’s still in a process of transformation). I seek to make my culture a reimagi-nation of what “white” is, surrendering to the truth of history, and what it “means” to be responsible for an ancestral legacy, instead of being ignorant of it. Be-cause our genetic skin tone showed up later in human history than the gene of darker melanation, too many of us assumed we hierarchically evolved, when we simply evolved in tandem with the Earth’s species. Since we perceived ourselves as a better-than evolution, simply due to skin color and higher disease exposure tolerance (thus higher white blood cell counts) we paradoxically created a mutation of auto-immune disorder by imposing a world order of racism that harms our species collective evolution.

Anthropologists have proven that blue eyes occurred before lighter skin did, and that as little as ~8,000 years ago white skin started showing up. Evolutionary adaptation is not one dimensionally linear. Cardio gets stronger when the whole body runs or dances (the heart capacity), the mind gets healthier when it comprehends a holistic diversity of information; reading, scry, social skills, emotional intelligence, healthy consumption, exercise habits etc. So to say white skinned is “more evolved” in a supremacist pathway makes no sense, because healthy evolution simply is not based on the epidermis alone; humans are so much more intricate than their skin color. Personally, I think we started developing lighter skin as a warning from the Earth and Sky, and many of us misread it:

There will be a time, where the whitest thing in the sky (the Sun), will get too wise; to bright and old, for us to live here, unless we increase our ozone intelligence, sustainable transportation & translation systems. Being the warning to our species of this celestial truth, we paradoxically increased it’s danger by centering ourselves instead of us simply being a chapter in the story of all Earth’s species. We are dealing with both natural (what we prepare for) and human-caused (what we prevent) climate changes and pole shifts:

We were supposed to show up as a reminder of this fate; that the sacrifices to the sun, and the spaceships coded to fly away from it, show us our way through the dark; through the great mystery of the unknown. Some first peoples disagreed on the occurrence of Albinism (where whiteness descends from), as studies have cited that different tribes considered them with varying levels of acceptance and discrimination. Some were treated in a way of sacrifice and social outcast, and some were married into tribes and treated no different. Migrations to Europe occurred prior to the development of light skin, but as settlements up North expanded, the light skin gene did also, and eventually became the majority in Europe.

White supremacy is likely due to unresolved feelings of unacceptance and jealousy in regard to the perceptions of first peoples, and projected anger about being burned personally by the sun (sensitive skin), as another form of the warning. We burned our own witches first (pagan discrimination), just like the Sun burns us with it’s whiteness; part of the warning to all of humanity, reminding us we all bleed red when the oxygen hits. We needed to “know thyself,” but instead we became obsessed with our appearances of domination, instead of learning the truth about who we are to the world; the holistic systemic constructs of what we are as a species, and the balance of the 4 corners of our DNA, coinciding with the sacred 4 directions of worldly navigation.

The Sun will not stop burning, but perhaps we will engineer a way to slow its burn (sky oil/sunscreen- was that not our ozone layer)? We must develop the tools and adaptations to the inevitable, inherent Sun expansion, just as the Native Americans made sunscreen out of Aspen tree bark. We must make ethical machines to carry us into the sky societies and build another Earth on Mars and beyond (while our desire of dominance led us to make toxic machines). Some of us will stay here and die with the planet that birthed us (unless Venus was where we were first, and we somehow got to Earth after it burned, like pollen in the wind). There’s is a reason why Babylonians considered Venus the first planet astrologically, and it was not until Greco-Roman Tropical expansion that it was changed to a norm of Mars as the “first house planet.” 

Chinese mythos have categorized Mars as a planet that signifies the “fall of emperors.” More specifically, some metaphysical Chinese lore associates Mars with fire, as one of the five elements in Daoism, and called it 火星 = “Fire Planet/Star,” the name it still holds today in some contexts. However, “another, more ancient Chinese name for the planet Mars, is Yinghuo 荧惑, according to Master Lü’s Spring and Autumn Annals 吕氏春秋 and the Records of the Grand Historian 史记: ying describes the dim, flickering light of a distant fire,” -but the word “ying” actually has many different characters associated with it according to context. For example, 英 (yīng) translates to "flower, petal, brave, hero", or 颖 (yǐng) as "clever", or 影 (yǐng) as "image, shadow", as well as 应or 應 (yīŋg) as "should/ought," “answer,” or "response," and other forms pronounced similarly. Some consider it a gender-neutral name, despite it’s relation to “yin;” the feminine/dark part of the Ying-Yang, in some forms of Asian spirituality. While “yin” also translates to “the North side of a mountain top, or “the backside” and the unconscious/subconscious as opposed to the front-facing side, and aware consciousness, and huó (活) indicates a form of the word “life” (huoli = vitality). Given the gravity of definitions, Yǐŋghuó (the more ancient/indigenous Chinese) has a greater potential to expand with definition.

Not all Chinese people agree on politics, but the space to argue and explore the possibilities is more creatively debatable, due to the format of their language libertas, while the actual discussion of solutions is more important than imposing conflict itself. If we only view Mars as a form of conflict energy and inflammation, then its power becomes limited to gravitationally impose only that. We must infer the opposite while also preparing for the war to reach Mars. So, the gravity gears to an inevitable inflammatory action involved (what Venus actually goes through as a planet; inflammation), since someday Earth will be like that, as all life grows old, even the Sun, but we can we pushback the Sun’s expansion with ethical technologies and prevent worldwide disease, while -86 degrees Mars warms up for us.

Although we need the martial warning, since our world is on the cusp of realizing that this planet will not last forever, it shows us that we need to develop habits that both increase Earth’s longevity, while preparing for its death at the same time, as we would a person or pet. Despite our need to change, we’ve been stuck in chronically inflamed patterns, while the newfound need to adapt is due to something our species and other species have all dealt with since ancient times: the experience of fear when a loved one is dying, and the will to learn why the ends near us, and the desire to know how to avoid them and expand longevity. This is why I advocate language change and multilingualism.

There are a variety of Indigenous Aboriginal Star Knowledges that can help us re-connect to a younger Earth, as gravity is tied to a plethora of cultural astrologies in general- and having to construct my sentence that way shows a main point in critical race theory: if the main, or regular astrology or culture is based on the white-constructed themes (Greek/Roman/Bible Mythos), and everything else is other or categorized as “older,” (people get old, but our ideas don’t always die), and considered different than what is supposed to be the normal or current culture we are used to -then we’re erasing the possibility & specificity of ancestral knowledges. We cannot learn from the past if we destroy what leads us into the future. If we view society as a blank slate starting from a colonized, white-dominant center, instead of one that is indigenous to the land we are on, where all 4 directions are balancing out akin to how the 4 strands of our DNA do, than we are living in a construct founded in genocide, narcissism, and lies covering up lost truths. To be-lie-ve or to have bee-leaf? That is the question we leave with.

Instead of actionable respect for the space that was already occupied, with the development of relationships over time, Europeans were convinced that killing, poisoning, and renovating what did not need to be renovated as fast as possible, was the only way for them to feel powerful and meaningful in the world. The quote “kill the Indian, save the man” also meant “kill the lifeforms, save the materials”- as if they were two different things that could live without the other! Now the whole world suffers because if you kill the life, the land dies too- if you kill Earth based cultures, Earth dies too. The connection to ways of maintaining a healthy land, having honor and mercy, was removed or minimized. Plenty of science has proven these claims and will continue to prove these claims.

Then, the pollution of death, and the plastic of pain became the demon polarity equal to the gods of industry and profit; it all became hell, literally formed from the Hellenistic period -when Rome battled Egypt and Greece, and then sought globalization. Northern European Runes appeared after Southern Europeans sought to battle Northern Europeans, so the Hellenistic period is older than Runic language. Hellenization started to occur around 2,360 years ago in 336 BCE (Before Common Era), and Runic was developed in 1-250 CE (Common Era, a.k.a. “AD” or After the Death of christ). Runes are about 1,800 years old, but Egyptian hieroglyphs have been dated back to 3400 BCE, which is about 5,425 years old. As mentioned latter, lower amounts of melanin appeared later in human evolution as human species migrated over the Earth.

Despite some laws today, “American Indians” have been misnamed. A mistake made by the Europeans whom thought they were from Asia- when their DNA has actually been proven to be unique to this land, and even though there are traits from Asia and Africa, their ancestors did not ONLY cross the Bering Strait, as some studies have recently found proof of their history here before that theory was proven. The population of this country has gone through a series of migration cycles. Regardless of their DNA, their cultures have been here much longer and were/are more sustainable than the industrial pollutions of American colonization, both mental and environmental.

The homogenization of language, along with economy and industry, has been the main contributor to the destruction of our ozone layer, forests, and species kinship, which thus has led to chemtrails; making a faux ozone to replace the natural one, despite the poisons in their mixtures. Re-creating a natural ozone layer, like indigenous revitalization, is a safer and longer way to rebuild the planet, and to ethically develop culture for outer space terraformation. Some cities and states offer free tree-planting programs for reforestation, and others have developed giant city air filters (smog towers), but there are so many more solutions besides those that we must to integrate into normality.

The tactics of domination included language change as a major aspect- language is like land-gauge, how we gauge what to do upon the land with symbols and sounds. Similar to how the wind creates canyons, our language creates the paths of society in the physical world- the connection from the minds of thinking, to the bodies of doing, the stories, the holidays, and various structures of “employe,” “boss,” and “co-op” are all constructs of language design meant to command-influence the cognitive behavior that eventually commands the physical un;ess denied. The ancient or indigenous languages used more muscles of the throat, lungs, mouth and vocal cords, so they could copy animal communication, connect to wind whistles, and engage in mental states with forms of tone chanting and vocal-c0listening, as an internal focus and telepathic art, with more Earth based cognition, but we are losing this ability by using homogenized colonial languages and misinformed technological programming to voice us instead. Earth is dying naturally and because of human ignorance and narcissisms that must be reversed, like reforestation.

Words sound too much like wars, wards, and the world. Palabras (word for “words” in Spanish), is akin to parables. Chinese does not have the same pattern as the latter, although reference to parables is somewhat closer: The 丹田 (dāntián) translates to “life force” in the Chinese Tai Chi ~ Qi Gong art, and their word for “word” is 单词 (dāncí). So, Chinese relates the vocal/visual symbol of communication to the physical body’s energy. Their sigils are connected to holistic health and energy science; English does not carry the same pattern density because it tends to base itself off of biblical and ethnocentric structures, rather than on bodily structure.

The word for brain cell in English is “nEuron” (ethnocentric). In Chinese it is 神经元 (shénjīng yuán), which is 3 sigils: divine-origin (神), warp-thread (经), in a matrix (元).”Which is different than their word for “Chinese:” 中国人 (zhōngguó rén), or their word for “ethnicity:” 种族 (zhǒngzú); barely similar by one sigil: 中 (flag/drum/arrow in the center of a target) via word for Chinese/ethnicity, and the square symbol in 神: divine origin- but this similarity is not exact nor is it as blunt as the assertion of “Euro” in the word itself (entitlement). Let’s look at some other language translations for the word “neuron”:

In Arabic, the word for “neuron” happens to be خلية عصبية (khaliat easabia); “kalimat” defines as “word or speech” and “easabia” translates as the “nerve system.” Their word for “Arab” is very similar to what English cites them as: عربي (arah-biun), and their word for “ethnicity” is عِرق (alquon), while “people” is الناس (alnaas)- so they are not naming themselves after the brain cell word. In Sri Lankan Tamil (South Indian Islander) the word நரம்புக்கலம் (narampukkalam) translates as “nerve cell book plate,” and their word for “people” is மக்கள் (makkal), and “ethnicity” is இனம் (iṉam). In this case, only 2 letters are repeated between words: க் (k) and ம் (m), and they’re not “characters” like in Chinese, wherein one symbol is also word: 单 = “one” (letters are only sounds, characters are sounds and also words). Yet again, the phonetic ties to these translations for a human body part are not ethnically self-centered or narcissistic, as we do see in English’s overt self-preferencing system imposed on this whole-species appendage.

We assert the “white race” through English phonetics; right, rite, write, witness, whiteness, while, why, whilst, wired- along with fairness (fair skin, fairgrounds, fairness). We also say English’s phonetic prefixation as the suffix, or the ending of many of it's words: spelling/spellENG, thinking/thinkENG etc. When the prefix is also used for the words “engine and engage (ENG-age).” This language was crafted and imposed with violence; it's not an indigenous European language, as we colonized ourselves (burned our own pagan witches first) and then went on to colonize others, as English is still an evolving language (so we can change it's narc-bias over time with the initiative to change language curriculums). To reapply ourselves with allyship and the indigenous practices we are rooted from; to die-out narcissistic patterns, is a cognitive and spiritual commitment. To interlace that with the latest evidence of crises intervention (not crisis construction/predictive assertion), to allow safe, natural futurism, rather than faux freedom control, is a more ethical way to connect and guide our instincts into intuition, for healthy species generation.

The following paragraph refers to the Indigenous people of what hasn’t always been called “America,” but Aztlán. To study their ways with the intent of repair, rather than gaslighting genocide and their experiences, we can aid in the reconciliation of a “United States” that is created by the people first at home to it, and their allies, rather than to commonly unify to English only, colonial standards, and instead value our entire species standards, via the healthiest cognitive routes, as leaders learning within a world of learning leaders. Relinquish the control of ideas in minds/mines, that have no reason other than domination, despite holistic truth- which has been America’s standard for far too long.

For the Lakota, what is known as the Aries constellation, in line with a few other stars, is also known as the Dried Willow constellation. The Lakota people have around 7 different words relating to “Willow” because it is such a sacred tree; they use it for medicine, bows & arrows, and mix the inside powder of the bark with smoking tobacco. There is also a Lakota Animal constellation of various star lines, including the Taurus constellation. The constellation called Great Circle-Black Hills, consists of the Greco-Roman named stars, Pleiades, Rigel, Sirius, Procyon, Castor-Pollux, and Capella- which have Lakota names too. 8 out of the 12 stars of the Gemini constellation make the Mahto Tipila (Bear’s Lodge) constellation, or colonial named, the “Devil’s Tower” (which tribes say is very disrespectful, because it’s supposed to relate to a sacred place on Earth/Makȟówaŋča). Many people believe that Mahto Tipila was once a giant tree and is now an ancient tree-stump.

“The Wyoming State Parks Department were conducting photographic seismic readings below the tower, when they discovered an incredibly large, petrified root system below the tower." It does not explicitly make the claim that the popular, mystic rock structure was a giant tree at one point; it leaves it up to readers to make the extrapolation.” (USA Today Fact Check)

For the Mayans, there are several calendars used for their tracking systems. The planet Venus, or in Mayan, “Chak ek,” is especially important for indicating lucid dreaming cycles in connection to the timing of warfare; when to merge the seemingly opposing orders. Venus is also known as a planet of partnership, beauty, values, balance, aesthetic, money making or trade, and art. It orbits in the fractal-geometric equivalent of the “Golden Mean,” “Pentacle” symbol, and a rose design, hence why it tends to represent trade, balance, beauty and love. However, this gets conflated with the overproduction of aesthetic principles, such as why people want to war (money/aesthetic control), rather than respecting the healthy balance that the actual vibration geometrically formulates in nature.

Many Greco-Roman astrologers refer to Venus as a “money indicator,” but due to massive economic inequality, that can be a classist perspective, especially when looking to Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn as energies that control how the Venus realm allocates in the long term, or on a larger scale. Other cultural star gravities allocate the energy differently, due to the average faith of those who discuss their existence and vibrational form, in relation to the environment’s natural surroundings, and how they depend on the sky. The Mayans simultaneously use their Tzolkin Calendar (260 days- a bit more than the 24 hour Chak ek cycle), together with their Haab Sun Calendar (360 days- a bit less than the 24 hour Sun ("kin" in Yucatec Maya &"k'ajol" in K'iche' Maya) calendar, to track correlation plans for a balanced society.

There are different versions of Mayan astrology that people can refer to, just as there are different versions of astrology in other cultures. Jose Argüelles was known to have re-created ancient Mayan astrology into a new model, and that information can be found at The Foundation for The Law of Time. Various Indigenous Mayans believe that Argüelles appropriated their cultural into some kind of neoliberal pyramid scheme that people buy information from. Personally, I don’t think Argüelles meant to appropriate Mayan traditions with his research specifically with the intention to harm or only make a buck- but he did reorganize them, and the people who inherited it after his death are profiting from it- and I don’t find that justified to the actual Mayan people in full (whom deserve resource respect).

In my journey, I’ve found my sign from Argüelles’s Starroot calculator and its description from Astro-Dream-Advisor, to have aided my context of self- but it truly does ignore the reality of appropriation and who is making the most out of the organization. Part of the toxicity in society, is the massive amount of cognitive dissonance from being forced into certain regimes that provide an over-consumptive paralyzation of “choice,” due to the overwhelming privleges some have, that others work so hard to achieve or die for. Similar to Argüelles, there are others that have studied “traditional” Mayan astrology, such as Vajra Fatih Keçelioglu, born and raised in Turkey, who studied with some of the Mayan people, and runs the website MyMayanSign.com and YouTube channel, where descriptions are explained and monetized by Fatih, although he does donate some of the proceeds to a Mayan nonprofit (still appropriation).

Kenneth Johnson, from California, was initiated as a Mayan “aj q’ij ~ daykeeper” in November of 2017, and explains the Mayan signs and teachings he learned, on his website Jaguar Wisdom. Not all nations of the Mayan people would agree with such efforts, since non-Mayan people are profiting from the information they’ve learned from Mayans with their site readings and teachings (including from me since I have paid for a reading by them). Fatih donates to the Meso Foundation, and Kenneth Johnson donates to Mayan communities as well, since he was initiated by them. I refuse to go to such lengths before I seek to change the way my toxic privilege affects the indigenous world view. I’d rather be a listener of indigenous wisdom, and cognize how it fits into to what my ancestry has imparted upon me over time, so I can inspire to change the design of future legacies.

This site, sacredroad.org, is also called Saq’be (“the sacred road”), an Organization for Mayan and Indigenous Spiritual Studies, and has been the closest Mayan Astrology source I’ve found in English and Spanish, that is visibly most connected to the actual Mayan peoples in its presentation, being an actual non-profit meant to support them- so I donated there too, after I sought to find a more indigenous source (which I should’ve done first). Their site also categorizes me as the Knife sign (Tijax/Etz’nab). There are various other sites that would tell you your Mayan astrology sign with explanation, but a solidarity-traded reading from a Mayan member, or actually studying with the Mayan people, is an even better way. However, they are forced to fight the toxicolonial lumberjacks destroying their rainforest, murdering, raping, and trafficking their people- so learning with them is also about learning what toxic-privilege systems have put them through and still put them through today. From now on, I will only donate/purchase from the Mayan indigenous sources, instead of the appropriated sources; Ho’oponopono.

I’d use these resources out of curiosity, but only with the discernment between appropriation and reparation. To take the information for yourself without consideration or support to the actual Mayan community in spirit or materially, is inevitably appropriation- and if you plan to use that information to help bring liberation to the actual Mayan people, then be sure to make that a part of your way of life; to be ethical in your acknowledgement. Identifying as a Tijax/Etz’nab and the White Rhythmic Dog has helped me both heal and realize my karma (even when it hurt), because I allowed my subconscious to put full faith in those descriptions of me, as a placebo effect. The humiliation of having found their way to be more fulfilling than the legacy passed down by more recent ancestors, is used as a cognitive motivation to transform my “white” culture.

In my personal experience, I’ve had truly memorable dreams and spiritual life events line up with the days of my personal Tzolkin calendar. All on the same day, I watched an anime called Children Who Chase Lost Voices- (which features a journey to find something like Quetzalcoatl), kicked out an abusive alcoholic roommate, and found a wandering Husky dog named Sunka (Shoon-Ka) which translates to “Dog” in Lakota (who coincidentally belonged to somebody I knew and looked up to). It wasn’t till later on that day, after all that had happened, that I found out it was my Tzolkin birthday. Another time, I had a very memorable dream that also taught me a lesson about life and death, strategy and acceptance, as two giant figures made out of light pink came out of two obelisk, pinkish-grey stones, and taught me symbolic ideas- then I looked out the window in my dream and noticed a Deer outside. After I had woken up and checked the calendar, I saw it was the time of the Mayan Deer Trecana. That dream sadly ended as a nightmare showing me my karmic fears- but it gave me a warning about somebody close to me; sometimes anger is a genetic chronic disease, despite race and because of it.

I was told that we are all “indigenous” to Earth, while at an Indigenous-led protest, but some of us create reality away from Earth due to fear and desire to rule over the future. Studying an indigenous worldview has helped me find myself as a person, because it led me to clarify my root causes, and especially my karmic pain, being part of a newer epidermal form that made toxic-privileges, compared to Moore-indigenous skin tones.

As a day sign of the Obsidian point or Knife, which is ironically a deep black color (like the pupil of an eye), in contrast to being in the “White” Dog direction (polarity), from my other Mayan sign (like a Yin-Yang), I’ve used the tone of “Rhythmic” to further solidify being a spoken-word artist, singer and dancer. I laugh at the spelling of “Dog” backwards and being named after a goddess at birth, and further I ponder how different the meaning of “White” is when comparing the indigenous version to the toxicolonial script: “white” representing the direction of the “North” in Mayan astrology, and in the privilege of toxicolonial society, I am also a “white persin” via toxic standards of “race.” While I support the human race, our creation of the epidermal-ethnic “races” destroyed our species kinship and has sparked the inflammation of a collective auto-immune disease.

Indigenous astrology has helped me with my mental health issues as I learn to understand notions of “truth” more completely. Indigenous cultures see mental health as a shamanic issue, aiding people with ceremonial plant medicines, enchantments and ritual instructions, as well as a collective perspective of their place in community; a practice of intervention- compared to colonial society’s “give em’ a pill and some therapy” (therapist; the-rapist -without space), type chronic industrial complex that does not intervene on disease root causes, and does not dive deep enough into the roots of a person’s soul on Earth. The caduceus was stolen and turned into a dollar sign ($), unless we use our actions to turn wealth into health.

Astrology can have a healing effect or a harmful effect- and I’ve experienced both. Faith is an art of mastering your own sense of power, self-consciousness, and respecting that of others, while learning from past and present experiences. When we seek to understand and heal what was once or still is Indigenous within, is the point of learning about Indigenous land acknowledgement and astrology, and other cultural star stories, while also dedicating to the authority of Indigenous people, through harm-reduction legacy work, allyship practice, and to reveal how recent ancestors’ designs of toxicolonialism has harmed many other generations, and that it needs to be put to rest, reformed, resigned, and reunited with an indigenous world view and allyship practices.

The truth proves that the Indigenous “plight” has become a hard path because of toxicolonialism and (mostly white and male) supremacies (not the same as leadership) poisoning the land. The Earth has been dying from pollution, extinction, disease, and poverty, because of the illnesses of greed, narcissism, and the chronic dissatisfaction that comes from the ignorance those mental/social illnesses breed. That is why I also find that using faith within Indigenous Economics, Language, Governance and Star Knowledge systems, will inspire actions more aligned with environmental ethics, and help us heal the pain caused by intergenerational systems of slavery, trafficking and unhealthy habits- because it helps us recognize the root-causes of issues and their pathology, by resurrecting ruins safely, researching and practicing sustainability, clarifying the sanity of our species relations, and communicating language more ethically.

English Design Bias and Supplements to Improve the Language Art of Peace

Master of Science in Social Enterprise & Innovation via Nonprofit Leadership Program

University of Denver - College of Professional Studies

Abstract

  This study investigates how implicit biases embedded within English language structures often operate as 'proxies' for mental and social subconscious microaggressions (Psychology Today 2025, Haseltine 2025) and impede the development and flow of ethical communication, while normalizing societal narcissisms (supremacy). Some language forms could be hindering moral balance within our species by affecting our behavioral cognition in a way that distracts us from formulating healthier communication design patterns that encourage subconscious coexistence. This study surveys a stratified population of 400+ English speakers about their perceptions upon learning from educational videos about English language history, global and social impact, as well as proposed techno-ethical shifts regarding its structural influence. Results will be measured according survey responses, in correlation with participant demographics. Further research seeks to enumerate the study of peace-making through subtle shifts within language, artificial intelligence ethics, behavioral health, and for programming social dynamics for the future of curriculum, economy, and law.

Introduction

  This study hypothesizes that the historical development and current use of English, as influenced by toxic-colonial contexts, could perpetuate systemic biases that harm our species as a whole, and our connection to nature. A goal this study promotes is to answer how ethical priorities can be integrated into large language model (LLM) formats, while assessing how cultural trends relate to phonetic and semantic frequencies (Winter, Fischer, Scheepers, Myachykov 2023). We can search for indicators of behavior dependent on subconscious cues within the language, by analyzing the participants’ perception of English’s cognitive-communication influences, and what happens when they are presented facts about English history, it’s mental global position system, and supplements to design bias. The presented edification from the study intends to respectfully aim at a sequencing that integrates culturally respectful acknowledgments of local & global exchange, for a more unified future planetary language design schematic(s), paradoxically decentralized, with “Cross-Linguistic-Capability;” an ever-evolving based on trends, ethical patterning system (Zhihong 2022).

  “From the standpoint of linguistic anthropologists… only by studying variation can we identify similarities and differences to arrive at more robust generalizations and consider potential universals” (Chernela 2023). Without healthy variation, colonization toxically takes over diverse holistic systems. Professor of Black Feminist Law, Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, invented the term “intersectionality,” so we can “describe the dynamic associations between the concepts of race, class, gender, and other individualized characteristics and their real-time interaction with one another in our society.” Crenshaw evolved the English language with a new word to explain an axis of psychosocial and political situations. People of color have been inventing adaptations to evolve the Latin-based languages ever since they were forced to use them; making new words and language cultures, such as generating the diction of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) or “Ebonics,” Chicano, variation of pronouns/gendered language forms, and other styles, as well as the revival and re-population of ancestral languages.

  If we are expected to be created equal, as in the American Declaration of Independence: “all are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights… Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…To secure these rights, governments are instituted among us… Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.” Our communication designs should reflect similar principles. Dr. Stephen E. Lucas evaluates the declaration further (1990): “keeping with the rhetorical conventions Englishmen had followed for centuries when dethroning a "tyrannical" monarch, the Declaration of Independence contains a bill of 28 specific particular grievances documenting the king's "repeated injuries and usurpations" of the Americans' rights and liberties, and is introduced with the shortest sentence of the Declaration: To prove this [the king's tyranny], let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

Given the merits within European or American studies are equally as scholarly as the “knowledge assets” of any other ethnicity’s studies’ merit, facts revealing exploitation, genocide, and slavery cannot be hidden, as an unalienable legality -wherein a trend of governments are assuring that indigeneity shall remain as an active power in what defines knowledge grows in and outside of America (Government of Canada 2024).

Again, this study hypothesizes that “standard” English has design expectations in curriculums and other societal complexes that support a systemic narcissism of supremacist, ethnocentric, species-centric, and economic influence on both global and local cultures within the Americas and beyond. Speakers and learners of English can change these aspects of its structure overtime, to become less harmfully-biased, and more interdependently peaceful. Remedy suggestions include implementing new ethical adjustments to the language currency, such as inventing new words, studying what AAVE and other non-standard English forms do for people’s emotional health and cognitive behavior, as well as promoting multilingualism and indigenous language learning, with the goal of an increased clarity of discernment regarding the past and current common unification, and for defining the ally’s role(s) in our indigenous futurisms; how pieces of peace in the world can innovate. The study’s research question is as follows:

How do the current variations of English language art-design affect psycho-social cognition after we educate participants on English history, its cultural evolution in formatic impact, its systemic global position, supremacy, research on English LLM bias -and after we explain potential remedies to ethically edify its tactical design to improve both local and international peace?

Literature Review

  The term “raciolinguistics,” invented in 2016, inspires this research to identify and subtract harmful language bias with innovative tact woven into the engagement of the ways we use communication. Topics about how language and race affect each other, such as code-switching and transracial dialects, are a part of how language is a “social process re-made daily” by the participants using it (Alim et al. 2016). Each participant has the power to undo hurtful language patterns and create or engage in “antiracist” language tactics (Kendi 2019). We can learn to “break from the assimilationist politics of the past and a move toward abolitionist frameworks of the future” (Alim 2023). This work seeks to further the discussions of what cultures are going to influence planetary evolution on Earth and beyond, and what roles the “white” race(s)/ethnic languages are going to play in Afro-Indigenous Futurism.

  Before raciolinguistics, there were scholars such as Benjamin Lee Atwood-Whorf, who studied the Hopi, Maya, and Chinese languages in comparison to Latin-based ones (especially English), explaining how their structures vary and thus their worldviews, as cultural root cause communication patterns that influence the way people think and act. Whorf was an MIT engineer graduate before he followed his passion of language design cognition, as he often compared language to a social machine (Whorf 1956). Similar to the likes of Rupert Sheldrake, Nick Anthony Fiorenza, Julian Assange, and Suchir Balaji, Whorf was a mathematics-based scientist before/while integrating the values of social science, as they’ve all woven their numerical mechanistic-physics knowledge with the energy of pyscho-ethical research (polymaths). Their work has ultimately benefitted the planetary peace for humanity- and they’ve all been attacked by wealthy militarism for seeking ethics instead of greed with their skills.

  When cultural showdowns base themselves off religious, political, and ethnic assumptions, instead of “universal” patterns of truthful evidence that evolve our collective health, we get unnecessarily cognized away from our species common truth by greed, ignorance, and lies (Chernela 2023). If we focus on negotiating peaceful deals instead of genocidal lies, we will prevent intergenerational trauma, narcissism, and revenge (to have bee-leafs instead of be-lie-fs). Languages change over time, as cultures of land-gauge influence each other and shift with new inventions and intentions. For example, there are many words from Native American Tribes that’ve become part of the American English language, such as “moccasins,” “cashews,” “guacamole,” “yankee,” “hurricane,” “persimmon,” “squash” and many more (Alt 2024), while this list has the potential to grow over time as investments in language restoration integrates with technology (Proof-Reading-Services 2021).

  Another observation is that “white people” sometimes speak in Ebonic, Chicano, Gaelic, and other Afro-Indigenous vernaculars. People have discussed this engagement of colorful cultural communication patterns as “appropriating” those cultures, or having an “authentic art appreciation of them,” or “some form of permission” from Black, Indigenous, and Chicano+ cultural communication relations (Petrov 2021). There are both harmful and helpful aspects to using a variety of cultural language formats to define what is normal in society, while this study seeks to identify levels of discernment for this phenomenon. Since language is an amalgamation of how the land has been gauged over time, it proves the history of an inextricable process of creating collective communication patterns through both harmful enforcement and intercultural/intergenerational; integ-rational peace. If using English hurts the person that is speaking it, and a different culture’s vernacular and/or language culture makes them feel healthier, but offends people of that different culture, then a discussion on what is healthy communication, what is “act-knowledgement,” what is ethnic dysphoria, and what is social reparation, can be furthered researched with the evidential aid this study can provide.

This study seeks to find proof that cultural communication modifications to English are evolutionary adaptions for indigenous, non-English ancestry identity interdependence (including pre-English European indigeneity), creative cultural development, and a unique recognition of efforts to engage in a “restructuring and transformation of schools and society, which dismantles the foundations of white supremacy that schools are built on,” changing academic curriculum to reduce the discrimination upon marginalized ethnic vernaculars, and co-create language; as communication seeks common unification. Further, these “new conceptualisations of language itself connects language struggles to broader networks of power, and racial capitalism,” showing us how the foundation of language is connected to the root causes of our community-based thinking patterns, preferences, systemic economic trends, and our empathic cognizance (Cushing 2022).

  This process has also been titled “LangCrit,” a word invented by Allison Crump, to explain the research of discerning language as a noun and “languaging” as a verb; to be critical of how language as action affects racial or gender loyalty, respect, and discrimination, in a spectrum of harm, defense, re-cognition, or celebration (Crump 2014). Henry Louis Gates Jr. (a founder of critical race theory), affirms that Latin-based languages, especially English, created the concept of “race” to further divide our collective evolution as a species. He explains “race” as a “metaphor,” and that it has “no essence as a thing in itself, apart from its creation by an act of language;” emphasizing language as a sociopolitical tool used to assign definitions and ideas to physical realities. This study seeks to understand how this process can unethically characterize collective and cultural cognition-consumption patterns, depending on English format “standards” and use, and how we can improve the language design system to prevent subconscious, psycho-social harm, appropriation, and economic harm.

  Further, the study surveys people about their view on a second language requirement in the United States, which would increase intelligence geared for global and local communication improvement. In many other countries, English is taught as a required second language as per education policy (University of Winnipeg), so those countries can better negotiate the economy for their people, considering that English speaking countries tend to control a high percentage of the world’s military pinnacles. The potential for “English-dominant” countries to attempt multi-lingual perspectives can boost peaceful cognizance, but some tend to consider it an “economic set-back” that divides us instead (Padilla 1991). The countries that require English as a second language do it for survival and opportunity in the global trade system- not only because they want to exclusively know English in of itself -but because they need resources provided through the privilege and/or servitude involved with having English-speaking freedom and/or enslavement.

Even in higher wealth countries such as the U.S. and U.K., evolutionary adaptations to English are being poorly criticized, such as the use of AAVE, as it’s recorders have noted that “while AAVE has achieved greater visibility and acceptance in recent years, it still faces challenges. The dialect continues to be stigmatized in educational and professional settings, where speakers may be penalized for using “nonstandard” English form” (AAVE 2024). It could be that punishing the use of a cultural adaptation to a historically harmful language structure is not conducive to our species collective evolutionary health. New technology is attempting to secure easier multilingualism and more ethical language use, such as teaching A.I. programs to help us with communication, promoting the creation of new words, integrating words from other cultures, having more accessible and accurate translation services, using blockchain software in multiple languages to increase investor trust, and to keep multilingual receipts of transaction for a comprehensive explanation of economic debt between countries (Zhihong, Tan Yan 2022). As the blockchain was founded to decentralize digital structures, it must be governed by ethical people to avoid a re-centralizing of supremacies (Halaburda 2024), which is a current issue.

Sadly, ethical A.I. regulations and inventions are being denied by the same systems that benefit from toxic centralized supremacies. This could also affect the accessibility of cryptocurrency and Space Property discussions as well, such as the Eros Project concepts, and the languages used for these future-forward laws (Nemitz, 2013). Older languages, such as Chinese, have holistic medicine involved with the practice of the language itself, as we also see in Yoga and other Ayurvedic medicine, using Sanskrit/Hindi mantras, while English has no intricately holistic medicine system directly tied to the body being healed by natural elements. It has roots in Latin, Celtic, Germanic, and Norse Runic (but those are languages separate from English), and it can translate into English, the Latinization of botany (Kimmerer 2013), and the Greco-Roman (Italian/Greek) “health astrology” (that appropriated Egyptian, Vedic, Arabic, Babylonian etc. language cultures prior to the Greco formation).

In that, English comes from a homogenization of Southern & Northern Euro-Indigenous languages (and some non-Euro appropriations) being forced/formulated into a single supremacist or monarchial language, too often used for capitalism, racism, and coercion. To racialize people, is to cause ethnic dysphorias, because a species-specifc disease is being caused by epidermal-social expectations, instead of being based on actual health variables.

Europeans enslaved other Europeans before they went on to enslave the rest of the world. As this study seeks to educate participants on English history and its global control through subconscious and economic design, it attempts to reveal the consciousness that crafted its spellings (spell-ENGs), and offer remedial practices to shift the way English spell is casted, so war can be sought in healthier and more environmentally safe competitions, and in diplomatic astonishment, using constructive mystification instead of toxi-mutative genocide, torture/rape, and pollution.

Our species needs to learn to focus on more important things, such as medicine and working together, to mitigate climate challenges, natural disasters (Phillips 2021), and space travel, so we can engineer a truer protection-defense for the sake of our future generations; a focus intended to actively re-purpose our co-creative prayers, to achieve our species’ common unification discernment with other species, for the process of planetary peace acumenity.

Methodology, Consent Factors and Risks

  This project is both a quasi-experimental, phenomenological case study, and a randomized-controlled experiment. Using both qualitative and quantitative data gathering that will be processed through descriptive and inferential statistics to assert the findings. The systematic investigation shall remain true to respect its participants’ autonomy and protection, for the beneficence of language progress, researching innovative remedies for psychosocial health, improving artificial intelligence programs, and increasing local and global peace within communication exchange. The population being studied is English speakers, and the sample size will be at least 400 split into 2 groups. Participants shall be chosen through a homogenous, stratified selection process, and one group will be surveyed following educational videos, and the other will be surveyed without educational videos.

  Surveys will be crafted and conducted via Qualtrics software, and the study will take approximately 1.5 hours+ to complete for the treatment group, and about a half hour for the control group. Both groups will be asked about their demographics, awareness and opinions about the English Language, and its psychosocial effects in their lives, but one group will take the survey after educational videos with each video having a short post-survey after it. The treatment group’s short educational videos will be on English History, it’s varied cultural design, its global position system, and supplemental remedies to the hypothesized harmful bias. After each video presentation, the survey that will follow asks a few questions about the participants’ perceptions, emotional responses, and opinions regarding the presentations, and then they will take the control group’s survey last. This surveying of the treatment group seeks to prove whether or not there is a harmful psychological causation (Yiu, Whitfield 2023), due to linguistic correlations to social statuses, after an increased education on the language history and effect, compared to the control group’s basic knowledge and experience.

  The questions of the surveys specifically study variables related to the participants’ psycho-social health statuses, and the influence that knowledge on English constructs have on them, and to see how their perspective on the English language changes (if it does) after each video presentation, and if they find the supplemental intervention concepts in the last presentation and survey as appealing remedies, or not, or if they perceive that they have no effect. Questions will include both quantitative scales and qualitative text entries to gain a full representation of participant perspectives. Other variables to be analyzed in the study include how participants’ demographics relate to their responses, such as their race/ethnicity, gender, economic status, religious and political preference, if they are multilingual or not, and if so, whether or not they used subtitles for the videos (and if they did, why and how using them affects their comprehension).

  Confounding variables may include distraction, due to the online format of the study, depending on whatever is around them in where they are taking the survey. The emotional state of participants prior to taking the survey could affect results, as they could be having a “bad day,” or the weather could be causing them dysthymia. Another confounding variable could be potential demographic misinterpretation asserted by a participant’s psychosocial perception, such as racial perception compared to their racial experience. For example, a visually dark skinned or “black” person could select “white” as their race, due to their perception, rather than their epidermal experience. Unfortunately, having known a census worker that came across an individual who did this for their “race” status choice when interviewing somebody for census, proves that it sometimes happens. This type of demographic issue could also happen with sex and gender identity and experiences if not clearly defined by the person themselves using an inclusive demographics survey structure. *In the last census I participated in when I lived in South Dakota, there was a “fill in your race” option, wherein I wrote ‘human” which was either categorized as “Native American/other” or nulled by the person who read my mail-in census.

  To mitigate these possible confounding factors, there will be a clause for participants to read, asking that they identify their racial demographic based on their epidermal experience, and to select both their gender identity and sex identity (having transgender, transexual, non-binary and intersex selection options). We will also ask them to complete the survey at a time when they are feeling emotionally stable, as rested as possible, and comfortable enough to complete their participation in a quiet place with no distractions, and ask them to complete a mood-rating scale before and after the session. Another possible confounding variable is that the population of English speakers and learners is massive compared to the very small percentage of 200/400 people sampled in this study, of whom are only America-located English speakers *(if I am able to get an international study approved, this may be changed to a study of world-wide English speakers, since this is an online/virtual study). If further confounding variables are discovered after submission, they will be noted and updated to the authority’s permission of this study as soon as possible.

  It shall be disclosed to participants that the study may take several hours to complete, depending on time spent watching videos and answering questions. They will also be informed that they’ll be exposed to new information that could affect their emotional experience, as the survey itself will be trying to measure those experiences, so that it may find changes within the participants’ psychosocial health perceptions. It shall be disclosed that their identifiable private information will not be shared publicly, only their demographics and answers. While the goals and procedure of the study will be explained to them, they may or may not choose to proceed with informed consent. If granted to conduct the study, participants would be compensated with a gift card for their valuable time and energy, while the offer of compensation may influence them to participate at a higher standard of quality, due to the promise of payment. 

  The probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in this research will be no worse than what’s ordinarily encountered in daily American life, such as the performance of already established, routine psychological examinations or tests (National Archives 2018). However not all psychological tests are the same, and as noted latter, there is a potential risk that a slight increase of emotional distress upon participants learning new information may occur, but shall not exceed to extreme levels of danger regarding participants’ health. Another risk includes the banning of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” materials and ideology by the Trump administration and some U.S. states. Although not exactly specified as “D.E.I. work,” this research more specifically furthers the beneficence of future trends in the sectors of language modeling, cognitive behavioral studies, social psychology, the communication roots of narcissism, education ethics, indigeneity studies, local and international relations, as well as the conflict and peace studies.  

    This study takes after the similar intent and statistical methodology conducted in Fischer, Scheepers, and Myachykov’s “More is Better: English Language Statistics are Biased Toward Addition” research analysis, such as using a t-test and ANOVA calculations to study trends between the randomized control and treatment groups. Their study focused on how “language reflects cultural preoccupations not only via the overall frequencies of words, but also via how words pattern together with other words.” However, they analyzed LLMs (Large Language Models) that artificial intelligence chats are based on, for their data samples, while this study will add to their work by instead surveying human participants who review educational presentations, of which will cite the work of Fischer et al. along with many others. Their study and this one will contribute to research that answers questions similar to, “are English A.I. LLMs geared towards addition bias because the wealthy design them, or is that result true for the overall practice of English speakers in general, and their opinions on how A.I. should be designed and used?”

  To process the results, a contracted firm experienced in social statistics shall calculate the data, and the findings will be presented in the study’s concluding report, which will define how the well the research question was answered, how the findings’ impact can be applied to society, and how future researchers can build off the collected information for further investigation. Graphs of data and examples from participants will explain the data visually, and quotes from participant narratives will be featured to enhance the visibility of their experiences.

Researcher Positionality

The hypothesis is informed by the author's personal experiences, such as ethnic dysphoria, intergenerational privilege and trauma, and their perception of self and while learning several languages (while it’s also extensively supported by the existing literature she/they’ve synthesized regarding psychosocial language health issues). As a visibly white woman, when the author talks in a deep African accent, people would look at them funny, or assume they are racist, crazy, appropriating, or jokin’ around. When they talk in American Ebonics or indigenous-chicano accent, too often people assume they uneducated (not using “proper” English) or a criminal (gangstuh ≠ criminal, though somtimes it is)- due tuh stereotypes, while also being called racist for using AAVE in appropriation (similar to the rap-artists Eminem or NF etc).

Being that they have an emotional connection to the study, there is a possibility of bias within the surveys and video presentations conducted by them. The author tries to mitigate this by citing as many references to other works related to the research as possible, so that the presentations are not solely based on the author’s works, but on the research of many. The author gives minimal information about the presentations and survey contents in this proposal, as they only mention some basic presentation topics, but intends to explain the surveys and presentations contents with more detail and clarity in future throughout the edification of this research proposal process.

Lastly, the author puts themselves at risk for political targeting by proposing the study and by citing their own work in the study, wherein study participants, un-peaceful government, and corporate bounty contracts, could potentially target the author through the study’s presentation citations and outreach email. Within the consent documents that explain the study to participants, the author plans to include rights and responsibilities that the participants have in the case of risk exposure, such as a “Know Your Rights” briefing, to mitigate this issue.

Conclusion

Finally, the goal of this study is to find connections between English phenomena and its speakers’ social psychology, to prove whether or not there is a causation tied to English design and social psychological systemic experiences, to strengthen a goal of improved communication ethics with remedial suggestions to edify English structure. There is an enduring focus on cultivating global and local peace by changing language tactics, honoring every race’s indigenous world view, and for the implementation of accurate and safe artificial intelligence and translation programs.

This study seek to theorise what is English Supremacy Writing, and shift into an English Ethical Form; to transform the scry sequence and promote multilingualism for global health, instead of specialized wealth. We can foster a stronger peaceful intelligence for our species, which includes a better respect for other species and our environment. This study does not intend to cause harmful cognitive dissonance, but rather instead improve the nurturance of ethical word choice, and the visibility of under-privileged realities regarding language participation, education, and the evolution of collective communication.

Runic is a Norse & Anglo-Saxon-Jute, pre-English, Indigenous Euro-language, When turned English, changed the Norse “Joy” of “Wunjo,” into the word “wound.” ENG twisted it’s meaning into a nationalist narcissism/harm.

The word “anathema” went from “votive offering” in Greek, and transformed into “abhorred/hated/very-disliked” and “athiest” after the Roman conquest. In fact, it became a legal term for the CAtholic church’s Papal Bull. Some words change over time…

DIAMONDS & INFINITY

This is an excerpt from a chapter in Asdrawlogy’s Healingual: En-Glitch & the Anti-Gravity ResisDance by Paxen-Atheme Landyback

Is it a chain of debilitation with opposing energy, or a constant cycle of seeking reparation? Perhaps it’s both as gravitational energy is unique for each and every being that experiences it, with collective contiguity. As we meditate on the value of the opposition aspect in astrology, we can also see it’s infinity sign- a destined dance to cycle through polarity together. The Gilda symbol (~) finds a partner, and gives us the idea of something that is not exact -but does exist within orb. People may not see “eye to eye” -but they can experience proximity within physical spaces and time. When the other half of the Gilda completes the infinity sign, is it our conscious effort and will of gravitational spirit to create a clearer vison, to comprehend the realm in which the opposition takes place, without corrupting our own mission?

Opposition-Gilda-Infinity Glasses Graphic drawn in Paint by Paxen-Atheme

War has always existed, since the beginning of time. Health vs disease is longest war we’ve ever seen and will likely forever experience. When health wins, we win. At the beginning of Earth, there were/are various elements shifting positions without being conscious of themselves. When elements meet with intensity, the life that spawned after them sometimes suffer, while also learning to adapt over generations of manifesting an ecoline and ecotone gradient to exist in; cusping the intensities and balancing within them. Indigenous societies have a vision of war-etiquette, in a way that did not have to create pollution and disruption to the natural cycles of the planet. They practiced the healthiest ways of being a part of and honoring the sacred hoop; the round receptacle and everlasting ray of connection between our shining pupil perspectives, the Earth and Sky. We live on a sphere, not a pyramid or cube. However, our structures have seen fear (sphere) and have been highjacked by pyramid schemes and cubical imprisonments; compartmentalizing us into pointless divisions, scribbles of wasted energy, disease, and unnecessary loss of life. It is elemental poison that we must sequester with our natural gifts. We are all here for a reason, let’s make it the best reason we can give, in every season.

Turning Squares into Diamonds Graphic drawn in Paint by Paxen Atheme

For structural form, the design of the rectangle or square has been the building shape on our planet, perhaps trying to look like stalagmites popping out, but if we are to repair our climate, we must utilize the tops and sides of those buildings as green house gardens or solar panel tech, to shade the incoming heat of our future global warming, because leaving them as they are causes an unnecessary heat reflecting onto the concrete below and back into the atmosphere. Similar to the square aspect, a person must push themselves to create a diamond out of their rough. The raw potential energy can be a tough understand- so we must strategize inner strength, and take back the gravity to shift ourselves in to becoming the building block for something truly worthwhile. We must all push ourselves, to push the government and capitalists, to transform our shared space so we can live healthier and more sustainable lives.

To be continued…

ANARCHY & FAIRNESS?

🗲Anarchy is about deconstructing the current hierarchies in place, and there are many forms that destabilization takes place, both in violent and nonviolent ways; mostly inbetween. Anarchy is a step within the process of recognizing societal change, the desire to dismantle and understand the true “meaning” of “fairness.” What is the next step after deconstruction? The post-anarchy where we re-organize our selves into a better form of arch and allocation? If anarchy naturally includes itself in the political process, than it must be part of the planetary re-cycle; the equal opposite of hierarchy, of which we see in natural forms, and through human-enforced greed and social systems. 🗲

🗲 Perhaps the steps we take after anarchistic action is Egalitarianism, Indigenous Land Management, Permaculture, Mandalistic Systems, Green Socialism, or Tiny Home Villages. Perhaps there’s no centralized word for it because actions tend to matter more than words, yet words are also forms that inspires action. Words can influence our thoughts as “cognitive behavior” patterns, of which motivate our actions, and when our words are rooted in designs such as racism, sexism and poverty, we must find the comprehension to unite our instincts (what greed seeks to divide) and intuition (what greed seeks to conquer), in order to re-construct our movements for improved elemental flow dynamics. 🗲

🗲 In an effort to make English words less supremacist/hierarchal, I started a petition to the popular English dictionaries to change the definition of the word “fair” in relation to it’s multiple “meanings:” being equal or just, or being light colored in one’s complexion; I do not believe that the light complexed are the “fairest” hue-mans of the land, although sometimes they do in fact seek ethical action, but those multiple meanings for the same phonetic sound is systemically encapsulated in the English language design. The “air” is shared by all races, and to be “fair” is to share the air. Yet white supremacists are making others colors of our species and other species go “I CAN’T BREATHE!” Other people have successfully changed the definitions of English words, as noted in the petition link below, so I too hope to succeed in this effort.🗲
