How might we, as equity neo-learning process designers, empower people to co-design a fair, free, flourishing future on a regenerating planet?
Neo-learning orientation
Each neo-learning section begins with an ethical question. They are "micro-doses" for opening our minds about understanding the meaning and implications of the ethical questions about our future before co-creating generative-strategic dialogues about how to respond to them.
Working within rotating small discussion groups (Zoom or in-person), we can create ongoing learning communities to understand and address our complex entanglements of self-inflicted wicked problems. This small group process demands full presence, participation and attention to prevent passive learning, distractions, and multi-tasking on digital devices.

Emancipate AI-enabled neo-learning
AI-enabled neo-learning is a new emancipation paradigm to enable us to understand and redress our wicked problems, such as systemic inequities driven by the maniacal hubris of the neo-liberal billionaire technocratic class of deluded saviors.
The ego-shadows of elite saviors have traits of the Asocial Leadership Personality Disorder to varying degrees. The character flaws that loosely bind this elite band of billionaire opportunistic bros together include pathological megalomania, malignant narcissism, autocratic authoritarianism, psychopathic streaks, and sadistic impulses.
Watch the Walter Issacson interview with Palantir Co-Founder Joe Lonsdale on Trump, Musk, and a New Vision for America.
This interview provides an insight into the "know it all" billionaire hyper-bravado and a snapshot into the hubris of technocratic imperialism and utopian neo-liberalism that shows no signs of moral and cultural humility.
These opportunistic saviors are ethically udderless, without a moral compass navigating aimlessly in the sea of equity meta-governance. They rant the mantra of free speech to justify their absolute libertarian fundamentalism. Their unaccountable liberty of free speech enables the alt-right political playbook of neo-terrorism.
Neo-terrorism is the propaganda war of words with psychopathic disregard for the integrity of truth-seeking and transparent accountability. Neo-terrorists play to win at any cost with no mercy or ethical fibers. Anything goes to exploit people, opportunities, and the planet.
Utopian neoliberal technocratic imperialism (UNTI) lets the dark side of neo-terrorism roam free.
AI-explanation about the meaning and implications about perspectives of UNTI.
These myopic morally handicapped savants do not put a top priority on long-term investing in social and moral capital to do good for the commons, humanity, the common good, and the well-being of all life, and regenerate Mother Earth.
The right-wing billionaire elite has launched an anti-woke class war of identity politics against DEI elites. They have scapegoated DEI and turned it into a modern-day Salem Witch hunt. This witch hunt enables the escalation of inequities to serve their elite interest to disadvantage working families.
These billionaire bros boldly proclaim know how to drain the swamp and fix our corrupt crony democracy that they helped to create. This is like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.
How do US technocratic billionaire savants (such as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerman, and Jon Lonsdale) enable the social media plague of disinformation undermining democracy?
AI-explanation about meaning and implications of this question.
B3. How do we detox neo-liberal addiction?
Utopian neoliberal technocratic imperialism has an addiction to the super-concentration of power and wealth. This compulsive addiction is creating an amoral-immoral black hole that risks consuming our humanity and our planet.

How does the fusion of technological advancements and capitalist neo-liberal logic contribute to the rise of utopian neoliberal technocratic imperialism and techno-feudalism?
How are utopian neoliberal technocratic imperialism and techno-feudalism over digital spaces and data similar to and different from traditional neoliberal capitalism and the means of production over the working class?
How do plutocratic supremacy and utopian neoliberal technocratic imperialism collude in inducing the fool-aid cult trance and mass psychosis of techno-feudalism?
How do plutocratic supremacy and utopian neoliberal technocratic imperialism bombard social media with misinformation and disinformation to collude in escalating political, economic, social, educational, and environmental inequities?
How might we use the example of the 1381 peasant revolt to overthrow plutocratic supremacy and utopian neoliberal technocratic imperialism?
How might we use AI-enabled neo-learning to usurp the exploitation of private data and mass surveillance of people to overthrow the tyrannical power of utopian neoliberal technocratic imperialism over techno-feudalism?
B5. How might we, the people, use AI-enabled neo-learning to cultivate equity meta-governance and overthrow techno feudalism?
AI has no virtues. Humans can ethically design AI to be virtuous (or otherwise). Humans are better at asking questions about our utopian neoliberal technocratic imperialism and state of techno feudalism than AI. We can develop neo-learning skills and ask ethical questions about how to co-create human-AI synergies for cultivating equity meta-governance.
Equity meta-governance is the antidote to technocratic imperialism and utopian neo-liberalism and their anti-woke class war of identity politics against D.E.I.

Section D: Learn how to redress what's not working
D1. How might we ethically discern the differences between indoctrination and emancipation about the role of equity in politics?
The demise and degradation of US democracy have global cascade effects around the world. Understanding this phenomenon is essential for developing high-functioning, agile, adaptive, and participatory democracies.
Political and ethical think tanks differ in how they use indoctrination and emancipation. Political think tanks, such as the Heritage Foundation and its Project 2025, are about the manipulation of indoctrinating people into extreme religious cult thinking.
The USA is the land of pseudo-liberty, based on the perverted individual values of moral, amoral, and moral freedom: the good, bad, and the ugly. The permissiveness of pseudo-liberty enables irresponsible freedom to go unchecked.
Irresponsible freedom enables a no-constraint cult that allows psychopathic behaviors to go unaccountable to ethical norms. Pseudo-liberty is a neo-terrorist magnet for politicians with Asocial Leadership Personality Disorder (ALPD). Pseudo-liberty corrupts democracy to its inner core.
How might we deconstruct neo-terrorism to repair our inept, decrepit democracy?
AI-explanation about the meaning and implications of this question.
AI-elaboration for deep learning
D2. How might we shift from mind indoctrination to soul emancipation?
AI-enabled neo-learning is an inquiry-driven paradigm process that expands beyond our managerial mass indoctrination of content (what to think and learn) to the emancipation of collaborative and transformational learning: thinking about how we think (meta-cognition) and learn (meta-learning) about equity meta-governance, Equity Moonshot, and wicked problems. This calls for emancipating equality and equity to liberate moral freedom for all.
How might we shift beyond the religious and political propaganda cults of indoctrination to cultures of emancipators and open-minded curiosity about how the virtue of equity liberates moral freedom for all?

D4. How might we understand the Deranged Trump Mass Psychosis?
The alt-right neo-terrorist propaganda machines, such as Fox News and its litany of accomplices, propagate and thrive on their fool-aid conspiracies, such as the BIG LIE, to induce the cult trance of the Deranged Trump Mass Psychosis. These propagandists are the unpatriotic anti-heroes masquerading as heroic patriots: the ultimate marketing con game.
The USA is the cult land of mass and social media that enables the collusion of religious and political fundamentalist indoctrination. These extremist cults thrive on neo-terrorism to create factious conspiracies to sell their fool-aid.
Elections become propaganda wars: a race to the bottom of who can discredit, devalue, deparage, denigrate, ridicule, smear, and scapegoat their opponents the best. This fear-anger-rage-hate fest is the battle over manipulating emotional gut reactions that bear little to no relationship to deep thinking about policy issues.
Alt-right propaganda marketing machines are amoral and immoral cancers on the souls of citizens. Citizens forfeit their soul to become pawns, puppets, parrots and pit bulls to these propaganda machines.
How did the alt-right propaganda machines indoctrinate the Deranged Trump Mass Psychosis of the BIG LIE and incite the January 6th insurrection?

D5. How does neo-terrorist indoctrination turn words into weapons?
Words become weapons of political, religious, and social destruction. Propagandists pervert the meaning of words. They flip virtues into flaws, and flaws into virtues. Fairness becomes unfair, and vice versa.
The word equity has fallen victim to the cancel culture war of identity politics. This calls for unlearning indoctrination, emancipating ourselves from the propaganda of neo-terrorism, and re-learning the original meaning of equity, the virtue of fairness.
How might we weave ethical fibers together to co-create moral tapestries for cultivating the mycelium networks of virtuous eco-systems to prevent the indoctrination of neoliberalism, the plutocracy of the billionaire class, technocratic imperialism, techno-feudalism, and neo-terrorism from subverting, sabotaging, and destroying our democracies?

D7. How did our corrupt democracy degenerate into a dysfunctional duolopy?
The US republic is deficient in its ethical integrity to truth-seeking and transparent accountability, along with its fiduciary responsibilities to serve the public. It has taken decades of systemic political corruption to elect a convicted felon as president.
Our moribund democracy is code red. It is incapable of healing itself of its immorality and its moral hypocrisies. Democracy has devolved into a dysfunctional duolopy to serve plutocracy. Citizens and voters have no influence over our democracy in shaping public policy.
Our corrupt crony democracy and its immoral neoliberal accomplice collude as a degenerative folie-à deux driven by the character flaws of ALPD. This sets up our dysfunctional duolopy to escalate inequities to favor the elites and disadvantage working families.
The extractive and exploitive neo-liberal systems degenerate our humanity and our planet. Technocratic corporatoacracy and asocial media destroy social capital. This is a sad and tragic indictment of our inept democracy.

Orientation to AI-enabled neo-learning
AI-enabled neo-learning is an inquiry-driven paradigm process that expands beyond our managerial mass indoctrination of content (what to think and learn) to the emancipation of collaborative and transformational learning: thinking about how we think (meta-cognition) and learn (meta-learning) about equity meta-governance, Equity Moonshot, and wicked problems. This calls for emancipating equality and equity to liberate moral freedom for all.
How might we shift beyond the religious and political propaganda cults of indoctrination to cultures of emancipators and open-minded curiosity about how the virtue of equity liberates moral freedom for all?
AI-enabled neo-learning offers a groundbreaking approach to addressing systemic inequities and complex global challenges by integrating artificial intelligence with human ethical discernment and collaborative problem-solving. This paradigm aims to cultivate equity meta-governance, launch transformative initiatives like the Equity Moonshot, and tackle "wicked problems" through innovative strategies that blend data-driven insights with human-centered values.
How might we emancipate AI-enabled neo-learning about ethical discernment to cultivate equity meta-governance, launch Equity Moonshot, and solve our complex entanglements of self-inflicted wicked problems?

Introductory modules 1-21
The neo-learning modules (listed below) invite you to read slowly and self-reflect on a specific ethical question to prepare for deep learning about its meaning and implications. This preparation sets the stage for co-creating generative-strategic dialogues about how to address ethical questions on the middle ground across the political spectrum to build beloved learning communities, without self-righteous fundamentalist extremists dividing people into warring tribes of identity politics and religion.
We can use each module to set up rotating 10-minute triadic sessions (in-person and/or virtual) to dialogue and develop a shared meaning of each ethical question and then another 10-minute dialogue about how to respond to this question.
These learning cycles alternate divergent generative dialogues to understand the question about a problem or challenge, and then use convergent strategic dialogues on a specific ethical question to take action. We can lengthen the times for these cycles and allow for further AI research to deepen our learning and dialogues about addressing the complexity of any question.
These learning cycles are stepping stones toward developing longitudinal, iterative learning processes to set up self-generating, self-organizing, and self-governing learning communities about how to solve our overwhelming wicked problems in the 21st century.
May your curiosity get the better of you. Read on and learn about what it means to embark on lifelong emancipation journeys.
1. How might we cultivate open-minded inquiry beyond either-or thinking?
Self-righteous fundamentalists have absolute faith in their make-believe world of certainty. They lack the wisdom of humility and self-doubting capabilities to question themselves about what is missing in their rigid dichotomous beliefs about the “us versus them”, “I’m right, you’re wrong” and “I’m good, you’re evil” mentality.
Open-minded awareness moves us beyond the destructive tribalism of “us versus them” to only US with no them: co-constructing our shared humanity for the benefit of all. Our ego shadows and dark sides are enemies to this aspiration.
A world of an all-inclusive genuine “WE” is without excluding, marginalizing, devaluing, depreciating, and scapegoating others: a world that preempts, prevents, and minimizes toxic divisiveness and dysfunctional polarizations.
How might we redeem ourselves from the reductionist sins of “Us versus Them" to:
Awaken the unwoke, the anti-unwoke, the woke, and anti-woke from warring tribalism?
Emancipate ourselves from the identity politics and religion arising from our conflicting value systems that support corporate imperialists, bro-oligarchy, plutocratic and technocratic overlords, techo-feudalism, self-righteous fundamentalist movements such as popular and Christian nationalism, dysfunctional democracies and duolopy serving the elites, immoral politicians, egoistical cult personalities, manipulative marketing savants, and media maverick influencers
Become interconnected diverse inclusive beloved learning communities guided by a constellation of virtues?
Our consciousness-raising endeavors raise us above the emotional reactive and lizard mentality of our amygdala-reptilian brains to enable our neo-cortical awareness to cultivate equity meta-governance, launch Equity Moonshot, and solve our wicked problems.
How might we expand our awareness of open-minded humility to navigate our ethical, moral, and virtuous learning journeys to move beyond the tribal traps of dysfunctional inside-outside dynamics that perpetrate and perpetuate varying degrees of rigid groupthink, constraining conformity, insular loyalty, pseudo-belonging, quasi-inclusiveness, incomplete diversity, marginalization, exclusion, stigmatization, and/or ostracization?
This inquiry, exploratory, and discovery process gives every one of us the opportunity to develop a living, lifelong neo-book within beloved learning communities. The communal purpose of sharing our neo-learning experiences via our neo-books is to contribute, large and small, toward cultivating equity meta-governance, launching Equity moonshot, and solving wicked problems.
This emancipation movement of ethical discernment aligns the middle majority of moderate conservatives, liberals, and libertarians on the middle ground to take the alt-right and alt-left fundamentalist extremists off of the center stage of political power and put them on the sidelines to end their neo-terrorist reign of psychopathy, disinformation, dysfunctional polarizations, and toxic divisiveness. Otherwise, the tail wags the dog.
2. How might we ask awakening questions to emancipate ethical discernment?
The purpose of asking ethical questions is to evoke dialogues to discern the distinctions among moral, amoral, and moral actions and develop a shared meaning and understanding of morality and virtues across the political spectrum, free from alt-right and alt-left self-righteous fundamentalism.
We need diverse virtues and character strengths to serve the greater good, emancipated from warring political extremisms of identify politics and religion between the alt-right unwoke anti-woke and the alt-left woke anti-unwoke.
The warring tribalism of identity politics and religion between alt-right and alt-left political extremists set up the futilities of the immoral disinformation propaganda campaigns, the corrosive effects of truth decay on political, legal, and institutional integrity, the futilities of dysfunctional polarizations, and the corrosive impacts of toxicity divisiveness on reducing our collaborative capabilities and capacities to cultivate equity meta-governance and launch Equity Moonshot
3. How might we ssk awakening questions to evoke ethical emancipation?
Equity meta-governance is an ethical counter-cultural movement against pathological megalomania, malignant narcissism, incessant psychopathy, and autocracy authoritarianism that afflict political systems.
This movement represents the externalized metaphor for the internalized battle of the brain between the enlightened transcendence and equanimity of our ethical neo-cortical executive thinking and the emotional ego-shadows and dark sides of our amygdala and reptilian brains. The metaphor calls for cultivating equity meta-governance to open, inspire, transform, and align our mindsets to design ethical political, legal, economic, educational, and social systems.
Equity meta-governance is a cause-based movement. It is an antidote to the unawareness (unwokeness) about the transactional imperialism of extractive and exploitative neoliberalism, the rise of plutocracy, oligarchy, and autocracy, the perils of reductionism in making our wicked problems worse (especially escalating inequities), the cult trances of marketing indoctrination, and the self-serving brands that take more than they give, and the dystopian growth of hyperconsumerism.

4. How might we yuse the trifecta question to cultivate open-minded awareness?
The trifecta question (listed below) calls for cultivating moral and cultural humility to unleash the unlimited potential of open-minded awareness, curiosity, imagination, and co-creativity.
Take slow thinking time to ethically ponder and muse over the moral meaning and virtuous implications of these ethical questions. The discovery process of our lifelong learning journeys expands our awareness of the need to move beyond our transactional world of short-termism to a transformational world of long-termism. This calls for overcoming our dopamine addictions to short-term rewards that arise from living in our marketing, advertising, mass media, and social media world of propaganda mindset control.
An awareness of this media phenomenon calls on us to prevent the presence of our dysfunctional unawareness from sabotaging and destroying our future.
How might we build beloved learning communities and bridges across the political-public-private divides to:
Ethical vision
Cultivate equity meta-governance using the concepts of Pachamama and Gaia as guides?
Moral mission
Use AI-enabled neo-learning to launch the Equity Moonshot story movement?
Virtuous actions
Redress the meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics that sets up our poly-crisis, our complex entanglements of self-inflicted wicked problems, and our impeding poly-collapse from living beyond planetary boundaries?
The purpose of the trifecta questions is to zoom us out and evoke the serendipity of spiritual experiences: the transcendence and equanimity of awe, wonder, and joy. These holistic experiences enable us to cross an awareness consciousness threshold of no return. Taking an observer view of the observer involves a meta-perspective to redress our ego shadows and dark sides.
When we see ourselves and our world from a meta-perspective, we go beyond our ego shadows and the dark sides of our character flaws to the realms of ethical explorations, moral imagination, and virtuous possibilities. This does not solve the wicked problems of our ego shadows and dark sides, but it enables us to redress the vexing challenges of rectifying our shortcomings with an enlightened mindset.
These questions enable our open-minded awareness to navigate our ethical, moral, and virtuous learning journeys and develop the wisdom about how to cultivate equity meta-governance, launch Equity Moonshot, and solve our wicked problems.
5. How might we build a mindset transformation movement to design high-functioning systems?
We can use the trifecta question (above) to provide exponential learning opportunities about expanding our awareness to scale up a mindset transformation movement about equity meta-governance and Equity Moonshot.
How might we inspire humanity to use the ethical, moral, and virtuous questions (listed above) to shift away from:
Being reactive, passive, acquiescent, closed-minded, and indoctrinated learners surviving in our atomized, fragmented, and disconnected world serving our self-interests, to
Becoming proactive, curious, inquiry-driven, open-minded, truth-seeking, and virtuous free-thinkers thriving in our socially integrated and interconnected world to serve the greater good?
This calls for a neo-learning revolution to expand beyond:
The broadcasting and influencer’s world of pedagogical content creation predominantly focuses on indoctrinating us on what to think, to
A relational collaborative world of emancipation learning about how to think, understand, and address our complex entanglements of self-inflicted wicked problems
This learning aspiration calls for negotiating about shared ethical purpose-making, moral meaning-making, and virtuous sense-making capabilities, where we thrive and strive to develop our capacities in cultivating equity meta-governance.
These transformational learning processes go beyond sages-on-the-stage, preaching, lecturing, academic symposiums, mansplaining, facilitator-centered discussions, and the reductionist futility of dichotomous win-lose debates to co-creating generative and strategic dialogues about solving complex problems.
Neo-learning is a deep inquiry and dialogic process about co-creating human-AI synergies to learn about the purpose of equity meta-governance and Equity Moonshot.
The noble purpose of AI-enabled neo-learning is to open, inspire, and align our minds with curiosity, co-creativity, imagination, catalytic innovations, and social entrepreneurship to launch the Equity Moonshot story movement.
Neo-learning inspires the open-minded humility of emancipation that we need to deconstruct the tyranny of the closed-minded hubris that prevents us from redressing our meta-crisis, poly-crisis, and poly-collapse.
This mission calls for building ecosystems of beloved neo-learning communities to generate the relational network power to co-create a fair, free, flourishing future.
Neo-learning enables us to navigate our lifelong intergenerational learning journeys of personal development collaborating to serve the greater good.
6. How might we Co-create neo-learning human-AI synergies?
We can use human-AI synergies to expand our curiosity to overcome intellectual reactions against understanding jargon, understanding complex sentences, and multi-faceted ethical questions. We can create quiries and AI prompts to enable our intrapersonal and interpersonal lifelong intergenerational learning journeys to cultivate equity meta-governance and build launching pads for the Equity Moonshot story movement.
AI explanation to help kids and young adults understand big ideas
7. How might we pose ethical questions to emancipate AI-enabled neo-learning?
This vision calls for posing multifaceted ethical questions to address the complexities of our interconnected, interdependent challenges of co-creating a fair, free flourishing future to benefit all on a healthy planet.
How might we co-create neo-learning human-AI synergies to address our meta-crisis, poly-crisis, and poly-collapse?
Using the AI inquiry techniques (links below) helps us to develop complexity and critical thinking skills and avoid the perils of linear reductionism and simplistic thinking.
Use AI explanation to understand the meaning of this multifaceted ethical question.
Use AI expansion to deepen our understanding of the implications of this question.
8. How might we understand the resistance against using AI-enabled neo-learning to cultivate equity meta-governance?
The resistance to AI-enabled neo-learning about equity meta-governance is entrenched in a complex systemic quagmire of psychological, cultural, societal, and political factors.
Deep-seated emotional resistance, anti-intellectual biases, and systemic prejudices against equity meta-governance interact to disable us from solving our meta-crisis, poly-crisis, and poly-collapse.
Anti-intellectualism manifests as distrust of experts and preference for simple reductionist solutions. At the same time, emotional resistance arises from fear of uncertainty, disdain for complexity, avoidance of ambiguity, and psychological suppression of vulnerability.
Overcoming this emotional resistance requires systemic approaches to enable neo-learning for co-creating human-AI synergies. This is essential for unleashing the vast untapped potential of human collaboration and transformational change. The emancipation of AI-enabled neo-learning mitigates this resistance to fostering cultures of curiosity, inquiry, co-creativity, catalytic innovations, and social entrepreneurship for cultivating equity meta-governance.
How might we overcome our medieval resistance against using AI-enabled neo-learning to cultivate equity meta-governance?
9. How might we redress the irresponsible paradoxes of pseudo-freedom?
In the land of liberty, deceptive marketing and political propaganda indoctrinate us into thinking we are truly free when we are not. The irresponsible paradoxes of pseudo-freedom repeatedly sacrifice short-term gains for long-term pain. The seduction and stupidity of short-termism triumph over the struggles and wisdom of long-termism.
Extractive-exploitative linear neoliberal economics disregards externalities, such as the negative impacts on our environment and the climate. Unethical corporate transactionalism scales up hyper-consumerism to exploit our humanity and our planet. The amoral-immoral advertising practices of mass media and the dopamine addictions of social media, online gaming, and gambling impair our capabilities and capacities to redress our meta-crisis, poly-crisis, and poly-collapse.
How might we cultivate the responsible practices of equity meta-governance to liberate true freedom by making long-term gains worthy of short-term pain?
10. How might we launch an educational inquiry paradigm?
AI-enabled neo-learning is an educational inquiry paradigm to break through the indoctrination glass ceiling of our managerial educational, “command and control” systems and the content tyranny of media mass propaganda machines that tell us what to think.
Cult indoctrination converts us into gullible, uninformed non-critical thinkers. We become passive enablers to the meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics and the dysfunctional politics of pathological megalomania, incessant psychopathy, malignant narcissism, and autocratic authoritarianism. Consequently, we have no ethical power over our dysfunctional political systems that serve the elites and not we, the people.
Unethical governance, amoral and immoral stewardship, and incompetent leadership drive this catastrophic state of citizen disempowerment. Citizen disengagement cries out for emancipating collaborative and transformative learning: thinking about how we think (meta-cognition) and learn (meta-learning) about cultivating equity meta-governance to unravel cult indoctrination.
AI-explanation. AI-elaboration
11. How might we develop open-minded, truth-seeking, virtuous free-thinkers collaborating to cultivate equity meta-governance?
This virtuous educational revolution calls for deep inquiry, self-awareness development, reflexivity, slow thinking, ethical discernment, moral development, meta-cognition, meta-learning, and the synergies of collaborative and transformative-transformational learning along with generative-strategic dialogues. These intra-personal and inter-personal learning processes serve the mutual reciprocities of equity, peace, and harmony in service of the greater good.
This counterculture neo-learning movement disrupts the dysfunctions of our transactional, hyperstimulated, distracted, atomized, brand-cult marketing world of extractive-exploitative neoliberalism, hyper-consumerism, take-more-than-give, and content-creation influencers seeking fame, celebrity, power, and wealth to serve their narcissistic needs for power, control, and influence.
12. How might we start with a beginner’s mind?
Develop open inquiry mindsets with curiosity, ethical discernment, and humility, guided by equanimity, transcendence, wonder, and awe, inspired by the meta-governance meme, “To Love, equity, and the pursuit of truth-seeking”, and the Rhodium rule, “Be fair and kind to all people, Mother Earth, nature, animals, plants, and soil.”
13. How might we redress our leadership, political, religious, and educational system failures?
Our leadership, political, religious, and educational system failures have been woefully inadequate in preparing us to take on our lifelong intergenerational learning journeys about cultivating equity meta-governance.
Our lifelong learning journeys of cultivating equity meta-governance focus us on redressing our meta-crisis, solving our poly-crisis, and adapting to and mitigating against, our poly-collapse.
Neoliberalism, brand marketing indoctrination, corporate transactionalism, and the cult tribalism of personality influencers kill the open-mindedness of inquiry, curiosity, and imagination to our vast abundance of hidden, untapped human creativity. We become prisoners of our closed mindsets. We deceive ourselves into thinking that we are free when we are under this mass mindset control of indoctrination.
These dark side forces collude, along with our enabling ego shadows, to deprive us of the oxygen needed to emancipate ourselves from the propaganda knee on our necks. This knee metaphorically suffocates our moral autonomy and disables our self, family, community, and meta-governance.
These dark side forces induce cult trances, closed-mindedness, groupthink conformity, blind unconditional loyalty, the mob rule of popular nationalism, and the tyrannies of racial and religious supremacy. Might is right. Identity politics and religion, with their conflicting value systems, drive the dire state of self-righteous fundamentalism, toxic divisiveness, and dysfunctional polarization.
Identity politics and religion have indoctrinated us, causing more divisiveness than alignment. The hubris of self-righteous fundamentalism arising from rigid attachments to values and identities (“I’m right, you’re wrong, and I’m good, you’re evil.”) sets up the futility of tribal warfare.
The tribal bonding of identity politics and religion inducts blind unconditional loyalty, where the war of winning at any cost becomes more important than peace, harmony, and justice. This tyranny disregards our common humanity in working together to redress our meta-crisis, poly-crisis, and poly-collapse.
How might we transformative and transformational neo-learning to emancipate ourselves from this dystopian situation and liberate ourselves from warring tribalism?
14. How might we wake up the unwoke, the anti-woke and the woke?
The dysfunctional polarization between anti-wokeness and wokeness is a consciousness crisis arising from our toxic divisive identity politics and religion, driven by alt-right and alt-left self-righteous fundamentalism.
We need equity meta-governance, guided by an aspirational constellation of virtues, to inspire and empower bottom-up groundswells of moral stewardship and distributed empowerment leadership to move beyond these futile polarizations between anti-woke and woke.
This ethical groundswell of agile power-sharing enables us to cultivate caring mutual reciprocities. This seismic shift away from the controlling hierarchies of neoliberalism mitigates against the hyper-concentration of wealth and power.
The neo-learning process of deep inquiry unleashes our curiosity as learners to explore and discover what fascinates us about unraveling self-inflicted wicked problems.
How might we rectify and remedy how the ego shadows and dark sides of our character flaws and dysfunctional systems sabotage our humanity and destroy Mother Earth which we need and depend on to nurture our humanity and live in harmony with nature?
These questions invite us all to take on this neo-learning quest for deep inquiry about how to solve our wicked problems across the political-public-private sectors and ecologically across the meta-macro-meso-micro levels of the system.
Self-righteous fundamentalist opinions are egregiously naive.
Awareness of ignorance and uncertainty is the humility of wisdom.
AI-enabled neo-learning provides exponential opportunities to address these failures.
How might we develop the bold radical candor of moral, cultural, and educational humility to evoke the inquiry skills to:
Challenge the rigidity of our identity politics and religious mindsets?
Expose the ignorance and certainties of our opinions to cultivate wisdom?
Rectify the leadership, religious, and educational failures that prevent us from redressing our meta-crisis, poly-crisis, and poly-collapse?
15. How might we build bridges from abstract ethics to practical wisdom?
Equity meta-governance calls for building bridges from abstract ethics to practical wisdom (phronesis): build launching pads for the Equity Moonshot story movement. This narrative movement is about co-designing an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future on a healthy planet. This aspirational mission calls on mass mobilizing everyone to contribute toward this mission, in whatever capacity, large and small.
We lack the moral courage and imagination to zoom out to this aspirational vision and mission of taking on this “big picture”. This aspiration calls for urgently creating exponential neo-learning opportunities to transform our mindsets and dysfunctional political systems into serving humanity and the planet.
This emotional appeal calls for using ethical attractors guided by a constellation of virtues to mass mobilize people to align our diverse mindsets and navigate our differences in our value systems on a middle ground where we use our differences to make a positive difference.
16. How might we respond to the ultimate ethical questions about equity meta-governance?
The five ultimate ethical questions (listed below) have multi-faceted and overlapping intentions to evoke a kaleidoscope of thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. They demand that we take our time to contemplate the monumental complexities of transforming our mindsets and systems for peace, harmony, and justice to serve humanity and the planet.
We need slow thinking time to zoom out to the Big Picture to understand the moral meaning and implications of the inter-connected ethical questions. These questions explore the interdependencies of our wicked problems.
How might we question ourselves and think slowly about how to:
Cultivate the meta-governance across the political-public-private sectors using the simple Rhodium rule as a guide: be fair and kind to all people, Mother Earth, nature, animals, plants, and soil?
Launch the Equity Moonshot story movement: co-design an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future on a healthy planet?
Transform our mindsets and redesign our dysfunctional systems to redress our meta-crisis of co-create a fair, free, flourishing future on a healthy planet?
Co-design network hubs of social entrepreneurship to do good for the commons, humanity, the common good, and the well-being of all life?
Develop innovation eco-systems of beloved learning communities to generate the relational network power to redress our meta-crisis, unravel poly-crisis of wicked problems, and adapt to and mitigate against, our impeding poly-collapse?
These questions enable our lifelong inquiry processes of navigating our ethical purpose, virtuous sense-making, and moral meaning-making learning journeys.
17. How might we develop the character strengths and virtues to cultivate equity meta-governance?
We can use the human-AI synergies of neo-learning to appreciate and develop character strengths and virtues needed to solve our wicked problems, such as:
Curiosity, inquiry, self-awareness, reflexivity skills
Empathy, emotional self-regulation, compassion, self-compassion skills
Ethical discernment and moral development skills
Critical thinking and media literacy skills
Meta-cognition and meta-learning skills
Co-creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial skills.
AI-elaboration about developing character strengths and virtues
18. How might we become AI-enabled, proactive, collaborative learners?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) reshapes education by fostering equity meta-governance through personalized, collaborative, and culturally responsive learning strategies. By leveraging neo-learning processes and ethical AI practices, this approach aims to create fair systems, address systemic inequities, and promote sustainability while empowering learners to navigate complex equity challenges in a regenerating world.
How might we become AI-enabled, proactive, collaborative learners to guide ourselves on our lifelong intergenerational transformational learning journeys of cultivating equity meta-governance?
19. How might we embark on emancipation story-telling journeys?
AI-enabled lifelong neo-learning calls for zooming out-in-out to address our meta-crisis, poly-crisis, and poly-collapse ecologically: view the whole as being more than the sum of its parts. The transformational process of neo-learning opens our minds, enhancing our inquiry, curiosity, and questioning skills about co-creating a fair, free, flourishing future on a healthy planet.
Our nemesis to this holistic vision is the toxic divisiveness of our ego shadows and the pentagon of the dark side: pathological megalomania, malignant narcissism, incessant psychopathy, the evil of sadism, and autocratic authoritarianism.
Co-creating human-AI learning synergies, we expand our mindsets and gain new insights and understandings about the meaning and implications of ethical questions about equity.
How might we embark on our emancipation story-telling journeys to align our self, family, social, and meta-governance in responding to ethical questions about equity and serving the greater good of all?
20. How might we zoom out-in-out ecologically to view our meta-crisis, poly-crisis, and poly-collapse?
Zooming out and taking the meta-perspective is essential for co-creating ecological frameworks of ethical questions for making inquiries across the macro, meso, and micro levels of our political-public-private sections.
The agile, adaptive processes of deep learning enable us to develop the zoom-out-in-out capabilities and capacities to prevent, minimize, and redress our meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics, the perils of reductionism, transactional neoliberalism, systemic political psychopathy, and cult indoctrination that set up poly-crisis and poly-collapse.
How might we evoke our moral contemplation, imagination, and courage to put equity meta-governance into practice?
21. How might we use nested framing to explore our wicked problems?
We can use nested framing, reflexivity, meta-cognition, meta-thinking, and meta-learning as intra-personal and inter-personal learning processes to understand and address our complex entanglement of wicked problems.
Reflexivity: self-awareness in research that considers one's position (worldview, beliefs, biases, values, assumptions, perspectives) and its impact on the process and outcomes of the exploration.
Meta-cognitive: thinking about one's thinking processes, in problem-solving and decision-making.
Meta-thinking: analyzing and reflecting on broader conceptual frameworks and problem-solving approaches.
Meta-learning: learning how to learn, focusing on developing agile, adaptive strategies for continuous personal growth and development (virtues, attitudes, knowledge, and skills)
These interconnected concepts play crucial roles in addressing complex problems, particularly in research, education, and problem-solving contexts. They encourage self-reflection, adaptability, and continuous improvement in cognitive processes.
How might we incorporate reflexivity, meta-cognition, meta-thinking, and meta-learning to understand nested framing for addressing complex entanglements of wicked problems?

L. Understand the perils of reductionism and neoliberalism
A. Ethical quest for equity: what’s (un)fair
This quest calls for clarifying the distinctions between what fairness and unfairness mean.
A1. How might we use etymology to understand the meaning of equity?
This quest calls for speaking truth to power and reclaiming the original meaning of equity. The Old French 4th-century word, equite, is derived from a Latin word, "aequitas", meaning even or equal, embodying the concepts of fairness, balance, and impartiality.
The semantic transformation in the meaning of the word, equity, is a remarkable neo-terrorist feat of propaganda disinformation. Neo-terrorism is the propaganda war of words with psychopathic disregard for the integrity of truth-seeking and transparent accountability.
The meaning of equity has been shifted from positive enlightenment flourishing in a world of mutual caring and reciprocities into negative toxic divisiveness of warring tribes battling out cancel culture wars in a fragmented world of “Us versus Them.”
Not reclaiming the original meaning of this word is like letting a psychopathic schoolyard bully go unchecked and rewarded. The travesty of silence and appeasement makes bullying more toxic and divisive.
The quest for making the truth about equity matter calls for radical candor, humility, and transparent accountability in redressing the disinformation of neo-terrorism.
A2. How might we unravel the 1984 doublespeak anti-woke propaganda about eqity?
Alt-right propagandists have effectively smeared equity with anti-woke 1984 double speak.
Fairness became unfair. Unfairness becomes fair.
These propagandists reflexly associate equity with socialism, communism, and Marxism. This propaganda movement has effectively retracted D.E.I. policies in government, public institutions, and corporations to protect the mainstream elements of the dominant culture.
The paranoia of fear and the fear of loss drives the self-protective survival instinct of disinformation. This neo-terrorist fear is like war abandoning the word, peace
A3. How might we understand how equity becomes a victim to cancel culture war?
The anti-woke movement has effectively used the negative reframing of equity to dismiss DEI. The woke movement used equity to overcompensate for social injustices. Both alt-right and alt-left extremists have created a triggering minefield of polarizing negative and positive emotions associated with DEI.
This toxic divisiveness and dysfunctional polarizations call for negotiating a shared meaning about equitable meritocracy to redress how the anti-woke and woke movements have manipulated equity for their political purposes.
How has the cancel culture war negatively reframed the term "equity” to dismiss DEI and critical race theory?
A4. How might we open our mindsets to end the cancel culture wars?
In our cancel culture wars, the word, equity, has been under assault and reframed with negative connotations to discredit and devalue this virtue. The backlash has significantly reshaped policies related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
How might we open our mindsets to unravel the cancel culture wars about negatively framing equity?
A5. How might we restore the original meaning of equity?
Equity has different meanings. The original meaning of the word is the virtue of fairness.
The alt-right propagandists’ negative reframing of equity calls for dispelling common myths about equity.
Equity is not about equal treatment or equal outcomes. Equity ensures that each of us, according to our needs, has fair opportunities to strive and thrive to our highest potential of healthy well-being within a beloved learning community.
Equity is about cultivating diverse talents, capabilities, and capacities to serve the greater good. Equity is about emancipating opportunities and unlimited possibilities.
For these reasons, equity meta-governance is an antidote to both mediocracy and escalating inequities driven by neoliberal meritocracy,
Liberate equity, and freedom for all.
The pandemic of systemic unfairness prevents equity from becoming the virtuous relational attractor for transformational change for the greater good.
Listen to the song-poem about the virtue of equity
The song, Abundant Fairness for All, is an inspirational call to restore the equity’s true meaning. This virtue is an antidote to the long ego shadows and dark sides of propagandists exacerbating inequities.
How might we transform systemic prejudices against equity into an ethical attractor of mindset transformations and virtuous systemic re-designs to cultivate equity meta-governance: co-create fair rules, fair plays, fair games, fair opportunities, and fair rewards to benefit all on a regenerating planet?
B: Create a shared meaning and understanding of equity
Any discussion about equity without negotiating a shared understanding of what fairness means is futile. Such a shared understanding is essential for aligning mindsets to co-create a fair-free-flourishing future on a healthy planet.
B1. How might we use family experiences to understand equity-equality dilemmas?
The following question captures the equality-equity dilemmas in the everyday experiences of family life.
How do fair-minded, caring parents balance the dilemmas of treating children equally without favoritism, and each according to their needs (equity)?
B2. How might we use the spiritual triad of neo-learning?
The neo-learning revolution is a counter-movement against shallow online content and cult influencers who only care about fame and money.
How might we think more deeply and collaborate for a better future?
Instead of click-bait social media posts and videos that trigger superficial fast-thinking, we use slow-thinking processes to solve our big problems and save our planet.
Neo-learning integrates the spiritual practices of ethical purpose-making, moral meaning-making, and virtuous sense-making to do good for all. Neo-learning helps us become better people to generate social capital for human flourishing and living in harmony with nature, using the spiritual triad.
Ethical purpose-making: work out what's right and wrong, and make wise long-term decisions for the greater good
Moral meaning-making: understand why meaning matters and how we can do good for all and the greater good
Virtuous sense-making: develop the character strengths to collaborate within beloved neo-learning communities to transform our mindsets and co-design healthy, high-functioning systems
We can use these ethical journeys to enrich our lifelong intergenerational learning experiences, ideally in our mind, body, heart, and soul.
How might we build collaborative networks of beloved transformational neo-learning communities to cultivate equity meta-governance, launch the Equity Moonshot story movement, and solve our complex entanglement of self-inflicted wicked problems?
B3. Bend our dystopian arc toward a practical utopia
The monumental questions (below) call for harnessing the ethical use of AI to launch the neo-learning revolution.
This revolution is a counter-movement cause against our marketing cults of superficial content media ADD personality influencers purveying their pseudo-truths, with their opportunistic ego-shadows pursuing celebrity status, fame, fortune, brand recognition, self-serving power, and vacuous entertainment, enabled by click-bait, attention-grabbing, speed-to-cool fascinations and shiny objects to mesmerize audiences into shallow follower-ships, without any deep transcendent higher purposes. These fool-aid cult trances fall victim to self-deceptions of self-worth in the free land of false prophets.
This revolution is a counter-movement cause against our marketing cults of superficial content media ADD personality influencers purveying their pseudo-truths. Their opportunistic ego-shadows pursue celebrity status, fame, fortune, brand recognition, self-serving power, and vacuous entertainment. They use click-bait, attention-grabbing hooks, fascinating speed-to-cool stories, and shiny objects to mesmerize audiences into shallow follower-ships, without any deep transcendent higher purposes.
Living in our individualist fast-thinking world of short-termism, we abandon the collaborative slow-thinking of deep contemplation to look seven generations ahead and crowdsource our collective wisdom to cultivate our virtues to regenerate our humanity and our degenerating planet.
How might we co-create human-AI synergies to:
Explore new perspectives, expand our knowledge, enhance our understandings, and gain new ethical insights about any question, sentence, concept, theory, or paradigm to bend our dystopian arc toward a practical utopia?
Engage in deep learning, exploration, and discovery about how to co-design a fair-free-flourishing future to benefit all on a healthy planet?
C: Share our BIPID stories
Many of our wicked problems arise from the abuse of power and the injustices of BIPID issues.
Biases: judge people unfairly in either negative or positive ways
Isms: treat people preferentially (like racism and sexism)
Prejudices: think negatively about people without really knowing them
Inequities: not giving people fair chances
Discriminations: treated people in mean ways because of who they are.
One way to redress the injustices of BIPID issues is by sharing our own stories about unfairness. By talking about our experiences, we can help others understand why these unjust issues are important to address. When we widely share our unfair stories, it helps us see the big picture and the systemic causes of these injustices.
This can help us fight against people who try to make these problems seem less important or say that trying to fix them is just being "too sensitive" or "woke." By sharing and learning from our stories about redressing BIPID issues, we can all work together to make the world a fairer place for everyone.
C1. How might we tell untold stories about BIPID issues?
Our learning journeys begin with sharing our own BIPID stories and explaining why equity, the virtue of fairness, matters in redressing these injustices. Sharing our stories sets the stage for building the middle ground to negotiate and co-create a shared meaning about fairness, the virtue of equity.
Our personal stories and experiences are ground zero for this transformational work before we zoom out to the meta-level of cultivating equity meta-governance. This lifelong intergenerational learning process integrates the cultivation of equity meta-governance with the Equity Moonshot story movement.
The Massive Transformational Purpose (MTP) question.
How might we pose ethical questions about launching the Equity Moonshot story movement: co-design and build an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future to benefit all on a healthy planet?
This starts with talking about times when people were mean or unfair to us, because of who we are. We share why fairness is important and how we can fix these problems together. Talking about our stories enables us to understand each other better and negotiate what fairness means on an ongoing basis. Our shared story-telling experiences enables small changes to become big over time.
As we grow older, we keep learning more about what the dynamics of fairness means in our daily lives. We use our invaluable experiences to negotiate what fairness means and make simple rules that are fair for everyone. Our big learning journey never ends in making the world fairer for every one.

C2. How might we cultivate self-generating, self-organizing, and self-governing beloved communities of story-telling?
Cultivating the fairness doctrine of equity meta-governance sets the stage for launching the Equity Moonshot narrative movement: sharing lifelong intergenerational learning stories about how to co-design and build an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future on a regenerating planet to benefit all.
How might we cultivate relational networks of self-generating, self-organizing, and self-governing beloved communities of reciprocal peer mentorship to develop agile and adaptive complex learning systems for the Equity Moonshot story movement?

C3. Build an Equity Moonshot story movement
We can use our everyday BIPID stories about Biases, Isms, Prejudices, Inequities, and Discriminations to zoom out and gain a big picture perspective on how to redress the systemic causes of these injustices.
We need this big-picture perspective to deconstruct the propaganda cancel culture wars that have enhanced the systemic prejudices against D.E.I. and E.D.I “woke” initiatives.
To counter the negative narratives surrounding DEI efforts, we focus on storytelling that emphasizes unity and shared goals rather than division. We can build a story movement to redress BIPID issues and launch Equity Moonshot: co-design and build an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future.
How might we share our personal stories about redressing BIPID experiences in ways that build the Equity Moonshot story movement?
D. How might we zoom out to equity meta-governance?
The penultimate sin of reductionism sin is zooming in and remaining transfixed on one perspective, virtue or value. The ultimate sin of reductionism is failing to zoom out and lose ecological sight of the dynamic emergent complexities of the whole system.
D1. Ask ethical questions about cultivating equity meta-governance
Equity meta-governance is zooming out to look at a map of the world’s problems: stepping back to see the big picture. Imagine we're on a tall building looking down at a city. We see how everything connects. That's what we need to do with our big problems in society.
When we zoom to the Big Picture, we learn that the interacting pieces of the puzzle fit together. Looking at the big puzzle of our interconnected wicked problems, we generate better ways of fixing them all together, rather than trying to solve these problems separately. Our biggest mistake is to treat each piece of the puzzle as a separate problem disconnected from the whole.
Equity meta-governance is a counter-movement to the escalating inequities of neoliberalism and the extractive-exploitative perils of linear economics that neglect the negative impacts of externalities, such as climate change and environmental pollution.
How might we ask ethical questions about cultivating equity meta-governance to set up the Equity Moonshot story movement of lifelong intergenerational learning?
D2. How might we cultivate equity meta-governance?
Equity meta-governance is the Ultimate Meta-process for Humanity and Nature (UMHN). Using a dynamic constellation of guiding virtues, we co-create a shared meaning of the fairness doctrine of implementing the simple Rhodium rule of equity meta-governance: co-creating fair rules, fair plays, fair games, fair opportunities, and fair rewards to benefit all on a regenerating planet.
The Rhodium rule
Be fair and kind to all people, Mother Earth, nature, animals, plants, and soil.
The song, Equity Meta-governance, is an inspirational call for co-creating a fair, free, flourishing future on a regenerating planet.
Listen to this song-poem.
This calls for unleashing the co-creativity of music, songs, poems, and visual images to build networks of hubs and ecosystems of transformational change at personal and systemic levels.
How might we ask ethical questions about building social entrepreneurial hubs and innovation ecosystems of beloved learning communities to generate the network power to cultivate equity meta-governance?
D3. How might we launch Equity Moonshot?
Equity Moonshot is about co-designing and building an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future across the political-public-private sectors.
How might we ask ethical questions about building social entrepreneurial hubs and innovation ecosystems of beloved learning communities to generate the relational network power to launch Equity Moonshot?
D4. How might we redress our meta-crisis that set up the poly-crisis and poly-collapse?
The process of negotiating and co-creating the meaning of what the fairness doctrine of cultivating what equity meta-governance means helps to prevent, reverse, and mitigate against our cascading decline and demise into our self-inflicted wicked problems.
How might we build social entrepreneurial hubs and innovation ecosystems of beloved learning communities to generate the network power to redress our meta-crisis of the systemic power abuse dynamics that set up our poly-crisis of self-inflicted wicked problems, and our impeding poly-collapse from living beyond planetary boundaries?

E: Join the neo-learning revolution
The neo-learning revolution of emancipation calls for cultivating an equity meta-governance vision and launching the Equity Moonshot mission. This educational quest calls for unraveling the complexities of our humanitarian and planetary failures.
E1. Illuminate our ego shadows and the dark sides of indoctrination
Neo-learning involves cultivating open-minded curiosity to understand our thoughts, feelings, and perceptions about what a fair-free-flourishing future means for all.
Our greatest barriers to collaborating on this quest are our ego shadows and dark sides of human nature.
This is our exponential growth opportunity for transforming mindsets. We need to scale up the evolution of our collective minds to higher levels of human consciousness: taking our lizard brains off of the front burner and taking them off of the stove.
This human consciousness challenge arises from failing to understand and address the internal battle of our brains in addressing ethical questions. Fear activation and emotional reactivity of the amygdala and reptilian brains suppress our executive neo-cortical brain functioning. They impair critical thinking, disable slow thinking, and inhibit creativity. This regressive state renders us more gullible and susceptible to the indoctrination of tribal self-righteous fundamentalist thinking.
Our religious and political cult indoctrinations keep us divided from collaborating to open, inspire, and align our mindsets to take on our lifelong intergenerational transformational learning journeys for the greater good.
Our mass media marketing culture simplifies and reduces complexity into simple questions, messages, memes, and tropes that disable us from solving our complex web of self-inflicted web of wicked problems.
To counteract the regressive forces, we can use AI to help us explore the meaning and implications of our ethical questions and enhance our understanding of our wicked problems such as neoliberal indoctrination that escalates inequities and wealth inequalities.
How might we illuminate our long ego shadows and the dark sides of our emotions to liberate our ethical thinking to do good for the commons, humanity, the common good, and the well-being of all life, and regenerate the health of our planet?
E2. Expose the conspiratorial forces of propaganda indoctrination
We can use AI and ethical questions to awaken the unwoke about propaganda indoctrination of neo-terrorism and understand the conspiratorial forces that perpetrate and perpetuate this indoctrination.
We can use AI and ethical questions to awaken the unwoke about propaganda indoctrination of neo-terrorism and understand the conspiratorial forces that perpetrate and perpetuate this indoctrination.
We live in a superficial, attention-deficit world of marketing dominated by fast thinking, short-termism, and mass media propaganda indoctrination that distract us from engaging in slow thinking about understanding our wicked problems: such as escalating polarizations between wealth concentration and inequities, driven by unethical governance, inept stewardship, and incompetent political leadership.
These dystopian forces build corrupt political and economic systems to escalate inequities and a cascading host of downstream wicked problems. Worse still, these forces set up systemic prejudices, in the name of liberty and freedom, against redressing inequities and inequalities. These forces evoke victim feelings of doom, and a sense of helplessness and hopelessness arising from our dysfunctional political systems and leadership paradigms.
How might we counteract the conspiratorial trifecta of neoliberalism, libertarianism, and illiberal democracies, along with the mass media marketing machines of disinformation, immoral corporatocracies, and their indoctrinating propaganda, that cause and exacerbate our wicked problems?
AI elaboration on the meaning and implications of this question.
AI summary about understanding our conspiratorial trifecta.
E3. Awaken the unwoke about propaganda indoctrination
We are living in a mass media marketing culture that indoctrinates large swaths of people into self-righteous fundamentalist groups that use fear-anger-hate-rage to induce cult trances of deranged mass psychosis.
This “divide-and-conquer” strategy disempowers the masses and escalates power up to the plutocratic elites to sustain our dysfunctional duolopy that fails to serve, we, the people.
Neo-learning is a transformational process of unraveling cult indoctrination to enable open-minded, truth-seeking, free-thinking to reverse this power imbalance dynamics along with escalating inequities.
How might we understand and prevent cult indoctrination from sabotaging our humanity and regressing into the futility of warring tribes, driven by competing lizard-brain, rigid political identities that perpetrate and perpetuate recurring cycles of trauma with chronic PTSD (persistent trauma stress disorder), enabled by politicians with the character traits of Asocial Leadership Personality Disorder (pathological megalomania, malignant narcissism, incessant psychopathy, and autocratic authoritarianism)?

E4. Unravel deranged mass psychosis
We live in an unwoke neoliberal cult world. Corporate marketing savants emotionally rule this transactional world by activating our amygdala and reptilian brains and suppressing the rational, truth-seeking abilities of our neocortical brains.
These manipulative savants use their neo-terrorist propaganda machines to gain mindset power over people. These neo-terrorists sell their “divide and conquer” fool-aid to gain political power over gullible, uninformed voters and create chaos and confusion that keeps people disengaged from voting.
These propagandists indoctrinate people with national populism and deranged short-term thinking that disable their higher-level thinking from addressing wicked problems and recognizing that they are acting against their self-interests
How might we unravel the cult trance of deranged mass psychosis that causes, exacerbates, and impairs our capacities and capabilities to understand our complex entanglements of self-inflicted wicked problems?

F: Co-create synergistic human-AI learning
Our educational systems have failed to develop scalable transformational learning processes about how to explore, understand, and address our wicked problems.
AI cannot answer our questions about wicked problems. However, we can use AI as a research assistant to enhance our critical thinking and emancipation skills to understand the underlying influences causing our wicked problems.
F1. Raise the floor of inquiry
AI raises the floor of inquiry, exploration, discovery, and understanding to enrich the collaborative processes of co-creating generative-strategic dialogues in solving our wicked problems. These transformational learning processes go beyond the reductionist futility of dichotomous win-lose debates.

AI-summary about unleashing hidden human potential.
F2. Unrig our reductionist educational indoctrination
Our reductionist educational systems have failed to educate learners about our meta-crisis: the ethical complexities of our systemic power abuse dynamics in politics, public policies, and education.
These systems have limited learner’s abilities to think critically for themselves and to learn more about addressing the uncertainties of complexity and ambiguity. This renders learners more susceptible to indoctrination and gullible to disinformation. These educational shortcomings can tip over into intellectual avoidance (don’t make me think too much) and anti-intellectualism.
For many learners, our educational systems have locked the doors to deep inquiry, exploration, discovery, learning, and understanding. This constraints our collaborative abilities to unleash our co-creativity, imagination, innovation, and social entrepreneurship in designing a flourishing future and solving wicked problems.
Learners are indoctrinated with easy-to-read, instantly understandable messages, memes, tropes, and questions that do not challenge their thinking. They have not been taught how to learn and understand the psychological processes of indoctrination. They are unaware of how the system has cut them off from their abundance of hidden potential. They become dependent on content creators and influencers who tell them what to think.
In our post-truth era, political propaganda machines use disinformation to exploit these educational shortcomings to indoctrinate people into cancel culture wars that undermine our liberal democracy.
This calls for developing innovative learning processes to emancipate learners from educational and political indoctrination.
How might we co-create human-AI synergies to learn how to become self-aware of our biases, assumptions, value priorities and beliefs (reflexivity), think critically, discern ethically, learn about how we think (meta-cognition), and learn how to learn (meta-learning) about becoming emancipated virtuous learners about the purpose of equity meta-governance?

G. Enable neo-learning
Neo-learning helps us to understand how cult indoctrination jeopardizes, sabotages, or subverts our abilities to think for ourselves.
G1. Learn how to think
This aspiration calls for exploring more about how we have been indoctrinated on what to think, and not how to think.

G6. Learn to collaborate toward a fair-free-flourishing future
Collaborative neo-learning is about how we can contribute toward a fair-free-flourishing future to benefit all on a healthy planet in ways that concurrently deconstruct our dysfunctional neoliberal paradigm of self-destruction.
We need a radical transformation of moving away from our linear, extractive, exploitative economic system, driven by the immoral practices of planned obsolescence and hyper-consumerism that disregards externalities and the negative impacts on the planet.

As transformational change agents, we ask questions that ecologically explore how amoral-immoral systemic influences create our interconnected wicked problems. Our deficit educational systems have failed to develop scalable transformational learning processes about how to explore and understand what causes our wicked problems.
Understanding the inter-connected relationships of micro (individuals), meso (communities and organizations), macro (society and culture), and meta (systemic governance) influences is essential for addressing our interconnected wicked problems.
Ethical questions are morally complex in that they foster collaborative learning and interdependent thinking, as opposed to decontextualized, linear reductionist thinking focused on individual learning. Reductionism without zooming out to view the whole is our original sin. Reductionist thinking causes and exacerbates our wicked problems.
The purpose of developing transformational learning processes is to create living beloved learning communities of aligned mindsets collaborating on middle ground to cultivate equity meta-governance.

H: Address systemic political psychopathy
We can use AI as a research assistant and muse to co-create human-AI synergies to address our monumental ethical challenges of unraveling our systemic political psychopathy from causing and exacerbating our wicked problems.
H1. Overcome our psychological naivety about psychopathy
Five percent of the population are neurodiverse outliners with psychopathic character traits of varying degrees of intensity. Politics is the only field where psychopaths can thrive and flourish to aggregate into neo-terrorist cults that wage asymmetrical “divide and conquer” psychological warfare to gain power over the middle majority.
Regrettably, the middle majority are psychologically naive about the psychopathic dark side of the political deep state. We need to understand how neo-terrorist propaganda machines set up rigged systems that enable politicians with Asocial Leadership Personality Disorder (ALPD) of their politicians to rise to power. The character flaws of ALPD include pathological megalomania, malignant narcissism, incessant psychopathy, and autocratic authoritarianism.
How might we help the middle majority overcome their psychological naivety about the dark forces of the systemic political psychopathy to cultivate equity meta-governance?

H2. Unravel the propaganda of systemic political psychopathy
We have a deep state of alt-right extremists and propagandists who seek to undermine the government to serve their psychopathic needs for power. They rig the rules and systems to serve the needs of the elites.
The deep state of political psychopathy is our nemesis to cultivating equity meta-governance. This deep state is the crony corrupter of governments to favor the elites at the expense of we, the people.
The aspiration of bending our arc way from our dystopian future calls for scaling up transformational neo-learning to address the deep-root enablers of political psychopathy. This calls for asking future-oriented ethical questions about creating a practical utopia that concurrently deconstructs our dysfunctional duolopy and restores democracy.

H3. Understand the immoral perils of absolute libertarianism
Over the past 50 years, the self-righteous fundamentalist rally call for absolute libertarianism has eroded and corroded our ethical standards into the psychopathic cesspool of the immoral abyss: anything goes in the name of freedom.
This gradual and unrelenting demise of ethical standards has desensitized us so much that we have normalized a wide range of flagrantly psychopathic behaviors that are beyond shame, guilt, or remorse. We have paralyzed ourselves from holding negative deviants and their aberrant behaviors accountable to any ethical or legal standard.
How might we unravel the alt-right propaganda playbook of aberrant behaviors that subverts our democracy and risks degenerating our dysfunctional duolopy (2-party state serving the plutocratic and corporate elites) into the psychopathic abyss of autocracy, fascism, and oligarchy?
H4. Use true patriotism to decimate fake patriotism
Absolute fundamentalist libertarianism drives the radicalized rally call for freedom. The emotional beliefs of this political identity perpetuate the tribal “us versus them” mindset that prevents any dialogues on the middle ground about our differences. These self-righteous cults disdain and reject any compromise or collaboration, especially about the virtue of fairness.
Fear-driven activation of the amygdala and reptilian brains suppresses the rational mind of the neocortical brain to induce an internal political state of mindset enslavement. These freedom rally callers become victims to their lizard brains.
Radicalized freedom perpetuates this rigid binary thinking: “I’m right, you’re wrong,” and “I’m good, you’re evil.” Radicalized libertarianism is divorced from rational thinking, evidence, and proven facts, where freedom can do nothing wrong.
This disassociation of lizard brains from rational thinking is unashamedly proud and ignorant of unwokeness: the delusional state of deranged mass psychosis. The unwoke hubris of popular nationalism hides behind the false patriotism of self-deception, disinformation, and the toxic pride of psychopathic American exceptionalism, moral hypocrisy, and outright lies.
The hypocritical unwoke becomes the injustice warrior tribe against the virtue of fairness, projecting their faults to discredit others and protect their authoritarian power.
Lizard brain propagandists and freedom fighters use the “divide and conquer'‘ chaos of disinformation, dysfunctional polarization, and toxic divisiveness to ensure that autocratic freedom reigns supreme where might is right. The rule of the mob defies the rule of law, in the name of tyranny and fascism.
Furthermore, radicalized absolute libertarianism sets up uneven playing fields of unfair opportunities and legitimizes immoral BIPID practices: Biases, Isms, Prejudice, Inequities, and Discrimination. The ethics of truth-seeking and transparent accountability become sacrificial lambs to the virtues of integrity, decency, and civility. This ethical decline and moral demise calls for waking up unwoke America.
The anti-woke D.E.I. propaganda movement has become so effective that the individual States and Corporate America are walking back or abandoning the fairness doctrines of equity, diversity, and inclusive belonging. This regression to the supremacy of individual values of freedom and liberty enables the systemic prejudice against the community virtues of equity and equality.
How might we ethically use the true patriotic integrity of radical candor, humility and transparent accountability to make the meme, MAKE AMERICA TRUTHFUL AGAIN, usurp the fake patriotism, disinformation, and popular nationalism of MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN?
H5. Use neo-learning and human-AI synergy to unravel wicked problems
Ethical questions enable the emancipation transformational neo-learning processes cultivating equity meta-governance. This calls for co-creating synergies between fast AI thinking with slow human thinking to unravel our complex entanglements of self-inflicted wicked problems.
How might we emancipate transformational learning to unleash our hidden talents to develop a broad array of capabilities and capacities to solve our wicked problems:
Curiosity, inquiry, self-awareness, reflexivity skills
Empathy, emotional self-regulation, compassion, self-compassion skills

H6. Cultivate relational network power for transformational change
Take slow thinking time to muse over the meaning and implications of ethical questions about what causes our wicked problems before engaging in generative dialogues about our wicked problems.
How might we co-create generative-strategic dialogues to cultivate the relational network power to enable transformative learning and empowering transformational change for solving our wicked problems?
H7. Coordinate glocal networks of beloved learning communities
Glocal learning communities blend global perspectives with local contexts. We use neo-learning principles to cultivate the relational network power to transform our antiquated educational systems into beloved learning communities working to solve our wicked problems.
How might we launch a transformational neo-learning revolution of unleashing unprecedented equity, diversity, and inclusive belonging practices within coordinated networks of glocal (global-local) beloved learning communities to solve our wicked problems?
H8. Embarking on lifelong intergenerational learning journeys
These learning journeys are empowering ways to cultivate equity meta-governance. These journeys bridge generational gaps and enable collaborative problem-solving for the common good. Such collaboration can reduce ageism, enhance digital skills among older adults, and empower youth to become equity muses, transformational agents of change for the Equity Moonshot story movement.
How might we develop strategies to embark on our intergenerational learning journeys and open, inspire, and align our mindsets on middle ground to cultivate equity meta-governance to do good for all?
This aspirational question calls for building entrepreneurial hubs and innovative ecosystems of co-creativity to launch Equity Moonshot.
J: Liberate ourselves from cult indoctrination
We can use self-reflective and collaborative learning processes to think and learn about the upsides and downsides of indoctrination.
J1. Learn to be free-thinkers
The purpose of ethical questions is to evoke self-reflection, inquiry, and slow thinking. This sets the stage for engaging in generative-strategic dialogues within beloved learning communities about how to launch Equity Moonshot.
These combined strategies enable the collaborative and transformational learning needed to develop the eco-systems and network power of free-thinkers to co-create a fair-free-flourishing future to benefit all on a regenerating planet.
How might we ask ethical questions about how we can become open-minded, truth-seeking, virtuous free-thinkers collaborating to cultivate equity meta-governance?
AI-summary about learners becoming open-minded, truth-seeking, virtuous free-thinkers to serve the greater good.
J2. Liberate our curiosity to open our minds
Hosting ongoing neo-learning sessions over time enables us to work toward some aspect of co-designing a fair-free-flourishing future. Neo-learning processes involve developing individual and collective agency to mitigate fatalistic feelings about our dystopian future. We can do something about shaping the direction of our future.
How might we co-create neo-learning experiences to:
Liberate our curiosity and imagination to go beyond the constraints of our mindsets to collaborate on addressing our wicked problems?
Open our minds to discover new insights, new lines of inquiry, new ways of thinking and feeling, and breakthrough understanding about oneself in relationship to others and the context of the situation needed to solve our wicked problems?

J3: Unravel the propaganda of neo-terrorism
In the war of neo-terrorist propaganda, words become weapons to attack, smear, denigrate, humiliate, shame, and destroy others. Weaponized words perpetrate and perpetuate BIPID issues: biases, isms, prejudices, inequities, and discriminations.
The 1984 doublespeak of neo-terrorism indoctrinates the unwoke to reframe the fairness virtue of equity as social injustice. The woke of D.E.I becomes a derogatory trope of alt-right propaganda to maintain the current state of power abuse dynamics.
Neo-terrorists use disinformation to amplify dysfunctional polarizations and toxic divisiveness to sustain PTSD (post-truth stress disorder) of chaos and disorder.
Neo-terrorism robs us of our sovereignty and prevents us from becoming emancipated learners aware of dysfunctional indoctrination.
How might we become whole again against the hegemonic forces of amoral-immoral reductionism and the tyranny of neo-terrorism?
We need to zoom out to the meta-levels to align our mindsets to counteract these dystopian forces.
How might we co-create counter-narrative forces of truth-seeking and transparent accountability to reconnect in ways that build the network power to transform our mindsets and cultivate equity meta-governance for launching the Equity Moonshot story movement?

J4. Counteract cult indoctrination
Neo-learning is not about the indoctrination processes of content creators, cult influencers, and political and religious propaganda machines that indoctrinate people on what to think. This is the disinformation cesspool of neo-terrorism.
In the post-truth era, people sacrifice their sovereignty of free-thinking at the indoctrination altar of political identity. People become pets, pawns, puppets, parrots, and pit bulls of propaganda machines to cult leaders. They become conduits for disseminating their fool-aid memes and tropes.
The political and religious fool-aids of propaganda machines induce the cult trance addiction to 1984 double-speak of disinformation. Marketing cult savants transform lies into truth, and truth into lies.
Neo-learning is all about process learning: how we can think critically, ethically discern, and seek truth with an awareness of our biases.
How might we aspire to the higher emancipation callings of collaborative and transformational learning, truth-seeking, and transparent accountability to prevent ourselves from tearing each other apart with truth decay, the disinformation plague, PTSD (post-truth stress disorder), self-righteous fundamentalism, dysfunctional polarizations, “divide and conquer” toxic divisiveness, cancel culture wars, and warring tribalism?
J5. Prevent, minimize, and redress the political power abuses
Addressing the systemic power abuse dynamics of our meta-crisis and their associated self-inflicted wicked problems involves cultivating ethical leadership, citizen engagement, and empowerment strategies to mass mobilize people in a common cause to do good for all.
How might we prevent, minimize, and redress the amoral-immoral abuses of power that drive our complex entanglement of self-inflicted wicked problems?

K. Redress the Meta-crisis
K1. Deconstruct the power abuses of inequities
Religious and economic colonialism is based on elevating the hubris of human consciousness above nature and having dominion over nature and people. This oversimplified stereotype does a disservice to modern philosophy to make a singular point about the power abuse dynamics related to escalating inequities.
Two examples that focus on this pivotal issue include the Roman Catholic papal Doctrine of Discovery and neoliberalism: the colonial bastions of religious and economic patriarchy.
This religious doctrine, in the name of GOD, enabled religious domination and colonial superiority over indigenous peoples and their lands.
Neoliberalism is an economic kind of colonialism. These inhumane systems escalate inequities in favor of the plutocratic elites to the disadvantage of working people. The top 8 billionaires have more wealth than the bottom 3.6 million people. Escalating inequities does not set the stage for humanity to live in harmony.
Indigenous wisdom is based on living in harmony with the power of nature. We can use biomimicry metaphors as creative forces to design how we might live in harmony with Mother Earth, but these metaphors are not designed to redress inequities.
Nature and living systems are not inherently equitable: they are neither fair nor unfair. Nature has no intrinsic virtues or ethical self-conscious awareness. And yet, human systems are vastly more inequitable than nature. This raises the question as to whether we can design human systems to be more fair and equitable than nature.
This visual meme conveys the distinctions across the categories of equality, equity, and plutocracy. The fourth column removes the fence with the spectators being outside of the stadium.
This sports meme divides people into players and spectators, violating the principles of diversity and inclusive belonging. In a deliberative participatory democracy, we work toward engaging all citizens: activate all people to contribute in small and large ways, without making distinctions between players and spectators.
How might we explain the causes of why human systems are vastly more inequitable and unfair than nature?

K2. Move beyond the reductionist thinking of hierarchical values
We are entrapped by the moral language of conflicting hierarchical value systems that predominantly evoke reductionist thinking and dualistic responses: “us versus them,” “I’m right, you’re wrong,” and “I’m good, you’re evil.” The hegemonic language of transactional values dominates over the egalitarian language of transformational virtues.
We talk about value propositions, and not virtue propositions, especially in the neoliberal world of extractive capitalism and exploitative corporations that fail to serve humanity and nature.
We loosely use the language of values and virtues in ways that lose a deep understanding of the distinct meanings of values and virtues. Not all values are virtuous.
Freedom is an individual value. We can use freedom in moral, amoral, and immoral ways: the good, the bad, and the ugly. The hegemonic abuses of amoral-immoral freedom exacerbate inequities and inequalities.
Values are about rank ordering what is important. Values set up hierarchical systems of conflicting political mindsets: such as between conservatives and liberals. Values can predominantly focus on what’s in it for me. Our attachment to values and the differences in the priorities of our value systems divide us into warring tribes.
The first song-poem (linked below) challenges our mindsets about understanding the ethical distinctions between the individual values of liberty and freedom and the community virtues of equity and equality. This evocative poem explores how our reductionist focus on freedom devalues equity, the virtue of fairness.
Listen to this song-poem.
Virtues are about doing good for all. Equality and equity are the community virtues of fairness: what’s in it for the inclusive We, all of Us, without us versus them? Virtues align middle majority on middle ground. - tearing . Equity liberates moral freedom for all.
Listen to this song-poem.
Listen again to these poems with the benefits of slow thinking.
What insights did you gain from reflecting on these song-poems?
Our virtues build the middle ground to navigate our fields of conflicting polarities and value systems, where our agreements hold us together and prevent our disagreements from tearing us apart.
How might we zoom out to view the polarity between the individual values of liberty and freedom and the community virtues of equity and equality in ways that maximize the upsides of virtues and minimize their downsides of values to cultivate equity meta-governance?

K3. Explore the ethical sins of moral reductionism
Neo-learning involves understanding the ethical sins of moral reductionism. Divisiveness is a sin. Sin is divisive.
Sin, conceptually framed as "missing the target", is about moral errors. These errors arise from ethical ignorance and psychopathic decisions. Nonduality is the holism of divine holiness for being on target.
K4. Unleash the vast abundance of human potential to do good.
The metaphor of sin as "missing the mark," rooted in the Greek term "hamartia," represents the discrepancy between divine purpose and human potential as a source of inspiration to empower personal growth and professional development. However, the archery metaphor of sin misses the target. We have a vast untapped abundance of human potential to do good.
This aspiration embraces interconnectedness, collective responsibility, and practices like mindfulness, self-compassion, and reflexivity to enable the social capital of communal harmony to serve the greater good.
How might we cultivate holistic minds, the non-dual state of equanimity, embracing the complexities of interdependence and interconnectedness, without the emotional reactivity of our narcissistic ego shadows and the psychopathic dark side of megalomania, to serve the greater good?
K5. Question ourselves about understanding ethical polarities
Exploring our understanding of the ethical polarities between the community virtues of equality and equity and the individual values of liberty and freedom is an essential part of reflexivity practice.
This involves thinking deeply about two related concerns: treating people equally and fairly and being free from external controls to live responsibly. Sometimes these concerns can conflict. We need to carefully think through what's right and fair: learning more about ourselves and others, as part of growing up together and living in peace and harmony.
How might we question our values, beliefs, and assumptions about the meaning of equity and equality in relationship to liberty and freedom to enable transformational learning for co-designing and building a fair-free-flourishing future to benefit all on a healthy planet?
K6. Develop ethical discernment skills about moral reductionism
Disassociating the community virtues from the individual values is our original reductionist sin. This calls for exploring and developing a shared meaning about equality, equity, liberty, and freedom.
How might we address the uncertainties, ambiguities, and dilemmas of the ethical polarities related to:
Community virtues and individual values?
Liberty and freedom?
Equality and equity?
This next phase of the learning journey zooms out to the meta-level. The big picture enables us to explore how the reductionism of neoliberalism enables the psychopathy of our political systems to escalate inequities, destroy social capital, and degenerate planetary health.
The ecological process of zooming out-in-out between holism and reductionism enables us to align our mindsets about the ethical purpose of equity meta-governance.
L. Understand the perils of reductionism and neoliberalism
We live in an atomized, disconnected world dominated by political and media propaganda machines that indoctrinate us on how to think. Our human systems suffer with fragmentation of communities and loneliness, increasing nature's fragility with huge losses in biodiversity, and the degradation of living systems. All of them are in dire need of holistic healing.
L1. Enhance the virtuous empowerment of integration
We can use ethical questions to zoom out-in-out to explore our interdependent and interconnected living systems of nature and human cultures. Ethical questions about equity meta-governance explore the political complexities of power dynamics within human systems. The purpose of cultivating equity meta-governance is to develop a dynamic framework of understanding fairness to enhance the virtuous use of power.

L3. Use equity meta-governance to deconstruct neoliberalism
The past is in the present wherein the future lies. Past-present-future are interdependent domains, not chronological reductionist domains.
A de-contextualized, solution-based, future-oriented approach is reductionist and politically naïve. Buckminster Fuller's thinking about building a new future paradigm that makes the one old obsolete is obsolete. The hegemony of neoliberalism is a major driver for our meta-crisis, poly-crisis, and poly-collapse: the ever-increasing exploitative resource extraction and the relentless hyper-consumerism
How might we implement equity meta-governance to:
Redress how our meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics sets up our poly-crisis and poly-collapse?
Solve our poly-crisis, our complex entanglement of self-inflicted wicked problems?
Adapt to and mitigate against our impeding poly-collapse, arising from living beyond planetary boundaries?
