Solution Space

On this show, I start to bring together my intellectual nexus involving eroticism, military theory, and intergenerational trauma to talk about how psychological distress and abuse are related to the larger social conflicts in which we find ourselves. I talk about my own struggle with low self-esteem, and a bit of family history which is tied into the Military Industrial Complex and the Vietnam War. In the end I start opening the topic of how to build common erotic projects and trust when we meet as soldiers fighting different but interrelated wars within the global battle space.

On this episode, Adam brings a number of warfighting concepts--like systems confrontation, multi-domain integration, and the information domain of warfare--to bear in crafting a theory of the erotic domain of warfare. This domain has to do with altering the understanding of the Other (nee the Enemy) with respect to the Autopoesis of the Other. This opens the way toward mutual seduction as a means of poetic conflict resolution. Along the way many similarities between Love and War are explicated.

In this Episode, Adam discusses some academic sources on "Critical War Studies" to talk about how we can think more expansively about violence, conflict, and war. We can understand that creation is violent, and that violence sets the stage for the cultures which follow. Wading into these waters is important for us to understand what peacemaking--or, avoiding the logic of total war--really entails.

On this show, Adam discusses eroticism as a pivotal theme to bring into conversations surrounding social development. Beyond the stigma associated with discussions regarding sex, a sophisticated and gregarious eroticism pierces cultural norms and provides space for us all to flourish and mutually interact generatively with the world.

On this track I introduce a staple term in my current lexicon, namely "eldritch goodness." I didn't get to this in the episode, but eldritch basically means non-linear, what frustrates linear expectations. Eldritch goodness is a way of saying weird can be helpful, and goodness can be exciting and surprisingly enjoyable.

On this episode I talk about the transformative impact of friendship on my life, and how I think it is the basis for a decent outcome to our current troubles. I also begin to explain my views on how religion, nationalism, faith in science, and individualism have arisen to provide stopgap and makeshift forms of human trust, but how they are all falling behind the pace of change and events. All that can help us is a transconceptual and largehearted gregariousness. At a certain point this asks of us to trust others without proofs, and I'm here to help facilitate that by offering these shows as encouragement to the listener.
