The INvironMENT

This just in from my friend Wilhelm. There is much food for thought here.

Everybody talks about environmental pollution and protection. What about the invironment. I played with the idea and realized that a lot of what is done on the outer is again a blatant ignoring/projection of the inner and pollution/ global warming and pet topics like that can be transferred to the inner world of the individuum and 'should' be solved there first. We need an INvironMENTAL Protection Agency.

Just transfering the topics and the lingo from the outer world level to describing the inner situation (psychological, physical-experiential or medical) could be a new movement...for instance 'global warming' reflects on the inner in a strongly increasing tendency towards inflammation, physically and mentally. We could look at the descriptions of the reasons of global warming and the measures that are considered and translate it. The SUV would then be the 21 oz. sirloin as compared to the Vegieburger Hybrid, the GMO debate would show up as media homogenized unnatural information selection, that leads to creative sterility, etc.

I am not thinking about it as a political approach, but as a description of the world that anchors the 'projects' in the individuals again, so that they can relate to it. The projected "environmental problems" are too distant for the average person to really care about. And the other side of the coin is that it will give us a very functional description of a lot of the individual 'projects' that are starving for attention, because we do not have the paradigm to sort them into.

He would appreciate any feedback you would care to share.
