summary - Annick de Witt takes the reader on a journey of discovery of that looks at the nuances of the complex set of entangled crisis we face today, by referring to the idea of worldviews - She shows how the quagmires now emerging are the result of interplay between three major worldviews, traditional, modern and post-modern and how each represents a partial truth that denies the partial truths held by the others - The article takes the example of Trumpism and the MAGA movement to illustrate, but the same analysis could be extended to the many different cultural worldviews found in different peoples around the globe - In particular, with Trump's recent decision to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, tensions between the traditional Islamic culture and the West's traditional, modern and post-modern segments of society are again on the rise - The insightful analysis culminates in the proposal for an integral worldview that includes all three but transcends each one - It may be useful to introduce Annick to Greg Henrique's Unified Theory of Knowledge (UToK), - https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ - Gregg works with John Vervaeke that Annick has cited - Regarding Bayo Akomolafe's short LinkedIn note on the word "worldview", I respect both Annick's detailed analysis as well as Bayo's interpretation and look forward to a comparative analylsis of these two perspectives around the word "worldview" - I am also in the middle of annotating Lisa E. Maroski's book, Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language, which is salient here as well
Indyweb dev - new Plexmark - analog affirmation slider - while reading the passage I was annotating, I realised that I was in agreement with a lot of what the author was articulating. However, I have no way to indicate this match because it would be too much - this gave rise to a new Plexmark: <br /> - Have an analog control slider for each sentence that indicates - agreement on one side and - disagreement on the other side as well as a - 'don't know' button. - This gives a running indication of resonance with your own salience landscape - This can then be used in conjunction with the Indranet - If there is an indication of strong agreement, then the reader may have strong motivation to investigate that author's mindplex, - especially if there is a strong salience mismatch between the author and the reader, indicating a possible learning event

- I propose that the post-modern worldview should be renamed
- why?
- it is a name that is dependent on the second major worldview, modernism
- while the first two worldviews have autonomous names, the third, postmodernism is not autonomous but depends on the second
- the word integral is a good candidate to replace it

it means integration of both traditional and modern

- progress
- death awareness
- worldviews can be seen from a progress framed perspective
- progress is a movement from traditional to modern
- conservatism focuses on the traditional pole while
- liberalism focuses on the modern pole
- postmodernism is a universal, cultural retroactive reflection on the relationship between both
- death awareness is a major focus on traditional knowledge systems but
- postmodernism can definitely benefit from integrating it to provide
- an integral, inclusive approach that deals effectively with

What if your sense of self, your seeing, your feeling, your very intelligibility as a “someone” are not possessions within a worldview, but part of an accommodation process issued from it, co-conditioned, emergent, and entangled?

analysis - Bayo juxtapositions - the normative subject/object dualistic view of a Self having an experience with objects with - a nondualistic view in which self and other, subject and object are two sides of the same seamless coin - The aggregate experience of "many diverse appearances" is imputed to be a "self" that is having these many diverse experiences of appearances - rather than apprehending the totality as an unbroken continuum<br /> - Are we not imaginative enough to break our deep conditioning of Self and other / subject and object and experience the totality of phenomena, instead imputing a self? - The individual "self" is indeed a compelling story because the biological individual inherently - has a distinct, and identifiable though dynamic boundary with its environment - has been bestowed with the evolutionary trait of instinct for survival - and therefore prioritizes securing resources required for its biological continuation - To see beyond this pyscho/physical appearance requires a high level of integration

his model of the psyche was firmly rooted in the Cartesian-empiricist philosophy that continues to dominate the scientific worldview. The most basic commitment of this model is the idea that we are discrete individual entities opposed to an objective, neutral world that exists independently of us.
- for: dualism, duality, dualism - Freud
- paraphrase
- Freud's model of the psyche was firmly rooted in the Cartesian-empiricist philosophy that continues to dominate the scientific worldview.
- The most basic commitment of this model is the idea that:
- we are discrete individual entities opposed to
- an objective, neutral world that exists independently of us.
- Per this model, we come to know and experience the world outside of us through a combination of:
- internally determined processes and
- the mental assimilation of data from the outside world.
- Minds, as such, are
- a prerequisite for experience, and
- experiences are essentially a result of cognition.
- This perspective perseveres today, for example, in the notion that
- we become familiar with other people’s internal worlds through our private theories of their minds.
- It also perseveres in the conceptual basis of CBT,
- which understands our experience of the world and relationships as being determined, in large part, by
- how we individually perceive and make sense of those things.

I'd say a worldview was views and values and what makes a worldview is that it is comprehensive.
Mirriam webster has:
a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint
For the kind of worldviews we are interested in I would emphasize the ontological aspect: i.e. it includes core views (often implicit) about the nature of the world and the nature of human beings (especially the latter is what i mean by ontological).
Wikipedia has (oddly following)
A worldview or a world-view or Weltanschauung is the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the whole of the individual's or society's knowledge, culture, and point of view.
Wikipedia cites a source which has another, even better, definitional quote:
In his article on the philosopher Wilhelm Dilthy in The Encyclopedia of Philosophy, H.P. Rickman writes
a Weltanschauung [worldview], or philosophy, in which a picture of reality is combined with a sense of its meaning and value and with principles of action ...

"Self-silencing" — people saying what they think others want to hear rather than what they truly feel — is skewing our understanding of how Americans really feel about abortion, COVID-19 precautions, what children are taught in school and other hot-button issues, a new study finds.
This has to be true, and I'm glad there is a study to demonstrate it. It's one study, and it's a small sample. But, it's worth a look.

We approach the problem of the extended mind from a radically non-dualistperspective. The separation between mind and matter is an artefact of the outdatedmechanistic worldview, which leaves no room for mental phenomena such as agency,intentionality, or feeling. We propose to replace it by an action ontology, which conceivesmind and matter as aspects of the same network of processes. By adopting the intentionalstance, we interpret the catalysts of elementary reactions as agents exhibiting desires,intentions, and sensations. Autopoietic networks of reactions constitute more complex super-agents, which moreover exhibit memory, deliberation and sense-making. In the specific caseof social networks, individual agents coordinate their actions via the propagation ofchallenges. The distributed cognition that emerges from this interaction cannot be situated inany individual brain. This non-dualist, holistic view extends and operationalizes processmetaphysics and Eastern philosophies. It is supported by both mindfulness experiences andmathematical models of action, self-organization, and cognition.
The proposal is to interpret mind and matter as aspects of the same process network, and decouple both from the Cartesian/Newtonian mechanistic worldview. Catalysts of elementary reactions are agents exhibiting intention, which can exhibit increasingly complex behavior Distributed cognition that emerges from high level social interactions cannot be situated in any single individual brain.

Many of the snippets here talk about what was in individual commonplace books and how their contents indicated what was admired. What about the negative image of all the things which were excluded?
What things did people read which they didn't commonplace? What does that say about them? Their times? The way they thought?
Could their commonplacing be compared with their marginalia to show what rose to certain levels of interest and what didn't? Digging through the records to find and verify marginalia may be incredibly tedious in comparison with specifically kept things.
Some of my own fleeting notes, which I keep because it's easy, may show some interesting things about the way I think in comparison to those things upon which I expand, keep, and value more for my work and my worldview.

all speeches are brought into existence as a result of circumstances, the multiplicity of activities going on at any one given moment in a particular place.
This is what makes speeches unique and compelling. The speaker's worldview allows him to scan the landscape of his reality, decide which issues or subjects are present, choose one that interests him, and prepare the speech.
