Culture--A Post-structuristic Perspective

Post-structuristic perspective of culture rejects totalities, e.g. total exclusiveness, total aggressiveness against other cultures etc. When hegemonic elements r gone it preserves only those of natural, inevitable & properly unique 4 itself, & turns itself into something of environmentally conscious & refreshable. Its subtle &/ ("de-demonized"/post-quantum-theory) chaotic reconstruction & deconstruction, in which concurrence of drastic changes & peace r possible , in its own rhetorics, semiotics & patterns while reexamining its presuppositions constantly. The semiotics have more emphasis on pragmatics than other fields. And, virtualness can be a testing ground 4 possible changes.

Neonaturalism

As indicated in my previous threads, my version of neonaturalism, like my neopragmatism, with which it is integrated, is of something inevitable & de-ontologistic. Words with hegemonic tendency like "the only way", "all", "totally", "entities" etc. r sorta taboos for its narratives. No matter how 1 tried to "unnaturalistized" his/her belief, the ghost of human nature is there waiting for him/her to deal with throughout his/her whole life & likewise, the pragmatism 4 dealing with it. Things r neutral & can bring about spectra that range within extremely good to extremely bad. & the results r unstable in accordance with context. When things turned problematic, the proper way is not resorting to belief that canceled their natural aspects but 1 that dare to face &/ try to resolve them in nature-prone manners.

Zero-waste Systems & Their Open Documentations

(Near)zero-waste philosophy & systems existed in days of yore. "The usefulness of uselessness" of Taoism/Daoism is 1 of the good examples. Indeed, it is an interesting topic for further explorations. Just wonder y they don't get enough publicity and encouragements nowadays. I'd like to suggest here a diversified awarding and marketing systems for their open documentations and public educations of the cost-effective systems, especially those that integrated with zero-emission systems. These should have the following common features:

1. Reliable & fair appraisal process/es and systems for individual &/ groups in accordance with spectra of contributed results &/ possible implications, especially the initial sparks for further developments.

2. Properly managed trust funds & awards.

3. Result-oriented web-based open-source marketings, human resource managements & appraisals systems.

4. Multiple public education channels.
