Unite Equity Muses | Ask ethical questions about co-designing a fair-free-flourishing future
An organizational CTA to co-create Project 2029
This leadership call-to-action involves creating exponential opportunities of using AI-enabled transformational neo-learning about how to open, inspire and align our mindsets to co-create Equity, Liberty, Justice (#ELJ) Project 2029. Project 2029 calls for cultivating equity meta-governance, implementing the rhodium rule, and building launching pads for Equity Moonshot story movement to co-create a fair, free, and flourishing future on a regenerating planet to benefit all.
We can use each learning section to create small-group discussions (3-5 people) for 10-15-minute session on Zoom calls, Google meets, and in-person meetings. We can repeat these sessions with the same people and rotating people to dialogue about the meaning and implications of ethical questions about co-designing a fair-free-flourishing future to benefit all on a regenerating planet. Ideally, people should read these sections and explore the AI links before group dialogue sections, in the self-reflective spirit of slow thinking and transformational change, collaborating with beloved learning communities.
Cultivate equity meta-governance to solve wicked problems
Equity meta-governance is about zooming out to our Ultimate Meta-process for Humanity (UMH): co-create fair rules, fair plays, fair games, fair opportunities, and fair rewards to benefit all on a regenerating planet.
The rhodium rule for the UMH is to be fair and kind to all people, the planet, nature, animals, plants, and soil.
Cultivating equity meta-governance calls for co-creating human-AI synergies and developing beloved learning communities to galvanize the network power for transforming our mindsets and systems to solve our complex entanglements of our self-inflicted wicked problems.
Wicked problems are complex because they have no single, simple, definitive, or final solutions, with no right-wrong answers.
AI-enabled neo-learning orientation
This is about harnessing the co-creative powers of developing human-AI synergies to cultivate equity meta-governance to solve our wicked problems.
AI-enabled neo-learning involves using ethical questions to evoke slow thinking, enable deep learning, and co-create generative-strategic dialogues about interconnectedness, interdependencies, dynamic emergence, and non-linear causality.
We should never read ethical questions aloud, because they require slow reading and self-reflection to explore and understand their meaning and implications before engaging in dialogues about cultivating equity meta-governance to build launching pads for Equity Moonshot story movement.
Equity Moonshot is our massive transformational purpose (MTP): co-design and build an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future.
Take your time in using AI to explore and deconstruct the complexities, meanings, and implications of ethical questions about equity meta-governance. These questions make us shift from the emotional reactivity of intuitive, fast thinking to the equanimity of deliberative, slow thinking.
Click on any AI link outputs to inquire, explore, and discover new concepts, insights, and new understandings about the implications of ethical questions. AI provides intellectual fodder for foraging and exploring new perspectives, associations, and patterns of knowledge about how to understand and manage complexity. Human-AI synergies call for co-creating generative-strategic dialogues and using the discerning wisdom of the crowd to co-elevate collaborative and transformational learning for cultivating Equity meta-governance and launching Equity Moonshot: a journey without a final destination.
1. How might we unravel the neo-terrorist propaganda machines driven by Asocial Leadership Personality Disorders?
Asocial Leadership Personality Disorders (#ALPD) is a spectrum of negative deviants with a blend of these character flaws to varying degrees: pathological megalomania, malignant narcissism, incessant psychopathy, autocratic authoritarianism, and destructive sadism.
In our attention economy, politicians with ALPD drive the neo-terrorist propaganda machines of disinformation to create chaos, confusion, and toxicity as part of their "divide and conquer" power plays.
Neo-terrorism is the propaganda war of words, with a sociopathic disregard for the integrity of transparent accountability and truth-seeking. Alt-right propaganda extremists are by far the greatest threat to democracy. Alt-left propagandists are ineffective.?

Click here for an?AI summation?of all question responses. Click on individual links below to the questions that pique your curiosity.
How might we challenge the religious, spiritual, and business naivety about political psychopathology?
Our religious, spiritual, and business leaders are uninformed about political psychopathology. Alt-right mass media and social media propaganda machines, along with politicians with Asocial Leadership Personality Disorders (ALPD), exploit naive people, use fool-aid to induce cult trances, and indoctrinate them followers into Deranged Trump Mass Psychosis (#DTMP).?
Hard-core MAGA supporters forfeit their freedom to think for themselves. These extremists conform rigidly to alt-right ideology with self-righteous fundamentalism and blind unconditional loyalty.
Our religious, spiritual business leaders are na?ve about educating people to understand the complexities of our meta-crisis: the systemic power abuse dynamics perpetrated and perpetuated by ALPD politicians.?
Psychopaths, bullies, and negative deviants often project their aberrant behaviors onto their opponents. They accuse them of and project their character flaws as an offensive defense strategy.?
The three simple rules of Roy Cohn best epitomized this alt-right strategy.?
Roy Cohn was an influential mentor to Donald Trump. Watch the Oscar-nominated movie, The Apprentice, to understand the dark sides of this psychopathic relationship.?
These educational failures enable the psychopathic love fest to flourish in politics against #ELJ. The neo-terrorist mayhem caused by the apolitical taboo of not talking about #DTMP prevents us from co-elevating #ELJ. We are not talking about the elephant in the room.?
How might we use calling-out and calling-in strategies to make amends??
Using calling-out and calling-in approaches to redress our meta-crisis and individual negative deviancy is different at systemic and personal levels.?
Calling-out approaches at interpersonal levels use the integrity of truth-seeking, and transparent accountability to hold negative deviants accountable for harms they inflicted, without directly blaming and shaming individuals. Calling-in approaches involve enabling schoolyard bullies and negative deviants to heal and make amends.
Calling-out approaches at systemic and social media levels use political activism, truth-seeking, and transparent accountability to redress the causes of the meta-crisis and advocate for rectifying systemic power abuse dynamics. Calling-out approaches enable shifts in cultural norms toward ethical and moral development about cultivating virtues.?
On the one hand, we use radical candor, truth-seeking, and transparent accountability to redress our meta-crisis, call out the character flaws of political leaders with ALPD, speak truth to the abuse of power, and hold politicians accountable for the amoral-moral impacts of their aberrant behaviors.?
On the other hand, we inspire ethical purpose-clarification, moral meaning-making, and virtuous actions to call in the process of cultivating equity meta-governance.
The synergistic processes of strategically using calling-out and calling-in approaches enable us to co-create generative-strategic dialogues of transformational change. Collaborating within beloved learning communities, we ethically transform our immoral and amoral stories into moral tales based on co-elevating equity, liberty, and justice. We co-create upward virtuous spirals to cultivate equity meta-governance for building launching pads for our Equity Moonshot story movement.
How might we reverse our unethical downward spirals into the immoral abyss?
Our lack of ethical discernment and cultivation has led to a gradual political degradation of civic virtues and service. Alt-right propaganda has desensitized us, leaving us without any ethical outrage needed to fight against the chronic moral injuries of chronic PTSD: Persistent Trump Distress Disorder.
We let the schoolyard bullies run amok in our communities to destroy safe, nurturing learning environments. Living in these toxic cold heartless environments, we are frozen from making ethical amends. The immoral black star of the alt-right propaganda machines blacks out the constellation lights of our virtues to monopolize our attention, and put an immoral knee on our ethical neck.?
The “fire hydrant” onslaught of alt-right propaganda waterboards us and suffocates any effective counter-coup against the destructive, MadMax intrasurrection. We are frozen and paralyzed by the reign of neo-terrorism unable to form a Greek chorus outcry about injustices.
Neo-terrorism is the propaganda war of words, with a sociopathic disregard for the integrity of transparent accountability and truth-seeking.
This calls for a radical countercoup response. Using three counter-strategies, we disrupt Roy Cohn’s simple rules of tyranny. This calls for galvanizing a spearhead ethical strategy to lampoon the immorality of alt-right propaganda machines.
We can use these countercoup strategies to hold negative deviants accountable for their harmful actions and also awaken the unwoke of their enabling and complicit behaviors.?
The most brilliant example of the alt-right propaganda was the mass mobilization of the trope, Trump Derangement Syndrome, to tar, feather and disparage snowflake libtards. The counter-coup truth strategy is to call out the derangement of Don the Com, along with #DTMP, the plague of disinformation, and the delusional beliefs in BIG LIES.
How might we expand #DEI to #ELJ?
Why are diversity, equity, and inclusion not enough??Equity includes diversity and inclusion, and not liberty and justice.
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 beloved learning communities.
What equity is not? Equity is?not?about equal treatment or equal outcomes.
Equity is about cultivating diverse talents, capabilities, and capacities to serve the greater good. Equity is about emancipating an unlimited abundance of opportunities to unleash human potential and social capital.?
Let's organize, galvanize, and synergize the middle majority on the middle ground, by using social media, mainstream media, in-person meetings, and marches, to:
How might we cultivate equity meta-governance?
Equity meta-governance is about zooming out to our Ultimate Meta-process for Humanity (UMH): co-create fair rules, fair plays, fair games, fair opportunities, and fair rewards to benefit all on a regenerating planet.
The rhodium rule for the UMH is to be fair and kind to all people, the planet, nature, animals, plants, and soil.
The truth brigade, working only at the personal level of building bridges across our political chasms, will not move the systemic needle toward equity meta-governance.
The dialectic question (below) requires calling out aberrant behaviors to call in virtuous behaviors, and vice versa.?
How might we overcome Persistent Trump Stress Disorder (PTSD)
In our traumatizing PTSD world, many people understandably migrate to their protective apolitical safety zones, increasing the numbers of disengaged voters, and consolidating the non-voter pack from any participation in democracy.
PTSD propagandists aggressively use offensive propaganda strategies to sustain heighten states of threat that keep people locked down in reptilian fear-flight-freeze responses: a highly effective divide-and-conquer strategy.
PTSD enables the MAGA intrasurrection
Our closed-minded retreats into apolitical worlds disable our ethical discernment processes of developing AI-enabled neo-learning and reflexivity skills to understand how biases and ego shadows prevent us from redressing the dark sides of our political meta-crisis: the systemic power abuse dynamics.
Let’s move beyond regressive influencers to humanitarian emancipators who empower and liberate us from the propaganda marketing machines of influencers.

Inspire an ethical vision to align virtuous mindsets
Cultivate virtues to do good for all. Think global, act local = glocal.
We use the rhodium rule of equity meta-governance as our ethical sherpa to build launching pads for Equity Moonshot. This involves co-creating social capital to the enable glocal missions to benefit our communities.

Awaken unwoke symbolic capitalism
Symbolic capitalism develops from our socio-political systems, where individuals elevate their status based on non-economic factors based on recognition, influence, fame, prestige, to advance their interests. Paradoxically, symbolic capitalists enable escalating inequities despite their critiques of the social injustices perpetrated and perpetuated by neoliberalism.
AI elaborates on the meaning and implications of this paragraph.
The idea of Jan 6th #MATA day for #ELJ (Equity, Liberty and Justice) along with ethical, political, and protest songs, is like symbolic capitalism: consciousness-raising awareness without taking concrete actions to make amends to escalating inequities, illiberal democracies, and injustices.
Listen to and share these inspirational songs. Muse over these songs, and create your ones.
These failures call for scaling up AI-enabled neo-learning opportunities exponentially to cultivate equity meta-governance. This calls for co-creating a constructive humanitarian #Project2029 to deconstruct the destructive regressive #Project2025.

Symbolism alone is incapable of co-creating a fair-free-flourishing future to benefit all on a regenerating planet.
Marches and songs alone are virtues-signaling but are of limited value without a long-term coordinated plan, such as Project 2029.
Project 2029, marches, civil disobedience, and the arts (songs, images, poems, documentaries, social media messaging, etc) can work synergistically to cultivate equity meta-governance and unravel symbolic capitalism.

AI-summary of elaboration
Why are our educational and religious systems ineffective?
Our antiquated educational and religious systems have failed humanity in developing our capabilities and capacities to build a broad array of ethical, political, psychological, and social skills to solve our wicked problems.
Our reductionist educational and religious systems have failed to develop scalable transformational learning processes about how to explore, understand, and address our wicked problems.
These abysmal failures render us incapable of redressing our unethical meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics. They prevent us from developing catalytic innovations and scaling up learning opportunities exponentially to:
We rely on outdated, content-driven modes of pedagogy with colonial educational systems, talking head presenters, sages-on-stage, preachers, academic symposiums, facilitator-centered group discussions, debates, and alpha male mansplainers who reinforce passive learning and indoctrination.
We need an AI-enabled neo-learning revolution to enable learner-centered agency, active learning, and intrinsic motivation.

How might we redress the perils of our marketing industrial complex?
The marketing industrial complex of advertising and transactional sales floods our consciousness with endless streams of manipulative content: clickbait, hooks, memes, tropes, soundbites, reels, shiny objects, and speed-to-cool stories.
Within our corporate-professional-personal world of brands, marketing is at best amoral with respect to the ethical long-term considerations of thinking seven generations ahead.
Brands ultimately value the short-term, self-serving transactional bottom line over the long-term, transformational top line of co-creating a fair-free-flourishing future to benefit all on a regenerating planet.
Within the political domains, propaganda mavericks manipulate us by bombarding us with misinformation and disinformation to keep our attention both distracted and divided, so that they can exploit our gullibility.

These distractions create screen addictions to the short-term pleasures of dopamine interspersed with exploitative triggers to evoke fear-hate-outrage reactions. These dysfunctional combinations of positive and negative emotions reinforce cravings for short-term dopamine quick fixes without an overarching ethical purpose.
Dopamine has a paradoxical dual role in driving addictive behaviors with short-term rewards and facilitating deep long-term learning by linking motivation, reinforcement, and memory. This calls for using the double-edged sword of dopamine that enables long-term virtuous behaviors, and repetitive short-rewards that enable addictive behaviors.
AI-affirmation-refutation response to this paragraph.
These social media marketing-advertizing-sales whirlwinds dehumanize our souls and rob us of minds. We lose our sovereignties to these cult influencers, becoming zombies to their propaganda machines. Customers become the products sold to advertisers.
We give up our sovereignty and lose the opportunities to become open-minded, truth-seeking, virtuous free thinkers collaborating within beloved learning communities. We risk developing blind unconditional loyalty to cult influencers and their propaganda machines.
The cesspool of extremist propaganda traps us in a toxic, dysfunctional, dystopian trajectory. We descend downward spirals into the immoral abyss.

AI elaborates on the meaning and implications of these questions.
These questions call for moving beyond the short-termism of living in an amoral-immoral world, saturated with corporate-professional-personal brands to the ethical world of cultivating equity meta-governance to co-elevate social causes and social capitalism for the well-being of all people and the health of the planet.
Build an AI-enabled neo-learning revolution for equity meta-governance
Equity meta-governance calls out the unethical blind spot of an immoral black hole: the meta-crisis of system power abuse dynamics that sets up our poly-crisis of self-inflicted wicked problems and our poly-collapse because of living beyond planetary boundaries.

Ignite a new era of protest songs
We must make 2025, the year music changes everything, learning from the Netflix documentary 1971, but with a vast difference. This calls on artists to evoke, unleash, and galvanize the vast abundance of untapped co-creativity within local communities to take part in restoring democracy.
Political protest songs must go way beyond consciousness-raising and activate people in re-inventing our democracy with long-term visionary plans with roots in the ground.
This is our clarion calls on all Americans to engage in a renaissance of democracy.
Share calling in and calling out songs to evoke dialogues
The greatest threat to the U.S. republic and its dysfunctional duolopy by far comes by far from the alt-right social and mass media propaganda machines, and not the ineffective alt-left. This political quagmire calls for using a balance of the calling-in songs of virtuous inspirations on the one hand and evocative calling-out protest songs on the one hand.
Calling in songs is about promoting virtues, harmony, and peace-making. Calling out songs are about evoking political protests, and disruptions to disturb the status quo of injustices.
Share any calling in and calling out songs to #MakeAmericaThinkAgain, #MakeAmericaTruthfulAgain, and #MakeAmericaGreatAgain, based on the integrity of true patriotism guided by a constellation of virtues.
Our extreme state of dysfunctional polarizations and toxic divisiveness calls for the true patriotism of radical candor, bold humility, and tough love by sharing calling in songs, and calling out songs that empower the middle majority to regain the middle ground and put the alt-right and alt-left extremists on the sidelines of political history.
The ethical question below calls for harnessing music's transformational power to bridge divides and recenter civic dialogues around virtues. By combining "calling-in" songs (invitations to cultivate virtues) with "calling-out" songs (using virtues to redress injustices of character flaws), we create dynamic cultural strategies that move beyond performative activism and toward cultivating equity meta-governance.

We can select any song to be played on Zoom calls so that people can break up into triads and engage in the process of co-creating generative and strategic dialogues about how to cultivate equity meta-governance.
These equity songs about fairness aim to inspire the middle majority to regain the middle ground and marginalize political extremists.
Muse over these songs, and create your inspiation songs.
Share calling out songs to deconstruct our divisive, regressive world of conflicting value systems
Lyrics by author. Suno-generative voice and music. If you have an aversion to AI-generated music, click on the link just to read the lyrics. If inspired, share this song. See a list of additional songs to discuss at the end of this newsletter.
Calling out songs is an expression of political protest. They proactively disrupt political dysfunctions, speak truth to the abuse of power, and hold politically negative deviants accountable to truth and transparent accountability.
Some of these songs use paradoxical interventions that aim to disrupt the Deranged Trump Mass Psychosis. These interventions destabilize pre-existing dysfunctional polarizations and toxic divisiveness by calling in the need for truth-seeking and transparent accountability and calling out the fake patriotism of alt-right and alt-left neo-terrorism.
The systemic aim of de-programing the alt-right cult and hegemony is to move more people from the middle majority onto the middle ground and marginalize hard-core MAGA Trumpsters. This will exacerbate the risks of alt-right extremism, neo-terrorism, and terrorism in the short term. But appeasing the schoolyard bully does not work.

Use AI-enabled neo-learning to overcome anti-intellectualism about wicked problems
Wicked problems are complex because they have no single, simple, definitive, or final solutions, with no right-wrong answers.
Academic writing can evoke anti-intellectual, reductionistic, and rejection reactions that limit our capabilities and capacities to solve our complex entanglements of self-inflicted wicked problems. We can use AI to understand the meaning and implications of complex questions, sentences, and concepts, adjusted for different reading and developmental levels.
Develop tri-polarity skills to co-elevate for #ELJ
