In this essay, I explain the reason I write about post-Jungian psychology in the context of solarpunk and why I think it's an effective approach to climate action. While it certainly should not be the only thing or even the primary thing we do, it can be effective for creating cultures capable of c…

In this essay, we discuss the myth of the prehistoric Mother Goddess as a distinctly modern invention projected onto our past. I then turn to the very real denigration of the goddesses, being demonized and forgotten by patriarchal monotheism. I end the essay with a discussion of how the complex div…
In this essay, we consider whether the emergence of patriarchal social systems was the emergence of gender as such. How does this fit in with the idea of a post-hierarchical gender liberation that's a response to a history of oppression rather than a retreat before it? To answer that question, we r…
In this essay, we discuss the origins of patriarchal hierarchy within the egalitarian societies of our ancestors. While material accumulation certainly matters, there are examples of surplus not leading directly to hierarchy for many generations. Understanding the overwhelming complexity of our tec…
In this essay, we discuss the controversy over whether or not evolution drives toward complexity or mere diversity. One of the obstacles is the fascist implications of any sort of purpose or direction to evolution. From far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics to organisms as hypotheses made by entire s…
In this essay, we discuss how our culture fills us with profit-driven stories, mass-produced archetypes, and narcissistic desires. Why do we desire things that harm us rather than things that contribute to human flourishing? Who defined what makes a truly good life and why do you continue to believ…

Post-humanism stands for a post-dualism that refuses the oppression of dualisms, but if not taken carefully risks the oppressive dualism betwee…
In this essay, I discuss the roadblocks in the way of Western egalitarianism through a discussion of our nomadic prehistory, the emergence of gender hierarchy, and social status. Contrary to popular belief, human beings have spent the majority of the last several hundred thousand years in egalitari…
In this essay, I discuss the contradiction embedded in the claim that ethical relations can make us more human. To say such a thing is to imply that some of us are less human than others. This creates a morally dubious hierarchy in which solarpunk humanization is itself, effectively, dehumanizing. …
In this essay, I discuss the differences between Jungian archetypes and "parts" from Internal Family Systems. I first consider them on axes of complexity, autonomy, and mythology, with archetypes having greater potentials along each. I then discuss how these differences are not merely horizontal, b…
