Framing Dynamic Transcendence of Simplistic Cognitive Polarization
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 8 Mar 2021

8 Mar 2021 – History may well find it remarkable the extent to which the present period cultivates the pretence of the adequacy of binary distinctions. Arguably these have even been embodied in the technologies on which civilization is now so dependent. In the case of the computer, this is most evident in the on/off distinction of logic gates — ironically at a time when progress in quantum computing is revealing other practical possibilities.

Cognitive Encryption Enabling Collapse of Civilization
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 22 Feb 2021

What level of encryption is used in the process of description? The art of encryption recognizes levels of ever greater complexity in order to ensure ever greater levels of secrecy and security — but for whom? What degree of encryption is associated with reference to “forest” or to “whale” in conventional strategic discourse? The question could be asked of problems such as “inequality” or of values such as “justice” or “peace”?

Dynamics of N-fold Integration of Disparate Cognitive Modalities
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 15 Feb 2021

15 Feb 2021 – Faced with multiple crises and conflicts of every kind, the world is witness to appeals for unity on the part of leaders variously embroiled in such crises. Despite the gravitas with which these appeals are framed, they can be increasingly recognized as naive — in the light of past responses to such initiatives. The naivety with regard to simplistic understandings of unity is currently evident in the commentaries evoked.

Licensed to Live? Licensed to Lie? Unlicensed to Die?
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 11 Jan 2021

Implications of Universal Vaccination–Voluntary or Otherwise – The question as to whether vaccination against COVID-19 should be voluntary or mandatory is now widely discussed. Increasingly any questions as to the value or dangers of such vaccination are framed as misinformation — if not deliberate disinformation and a feature of conspiracy theories, necessarily to be deprecated.

Living within a Self-engendered Simulation
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 4 Jan 2021

4 Jan 2021 – There is an ongoing debate among scientists as to whether humanity and the planetary environment are best understood as part of a simulation developed and maintained by an advanced race of extraterrestrials. As a speculative argument, this offers one way of understanding why humanity has not been contacted by ETs — if humans could comprehend the form which such contact might take.

Who to Blame: “Donald Trump” or the “American People”?
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 28 Dec 2020

Let’s Get Real Clear on Any Responsibility for Imminent Global Disaster – In this exercise in clarification, mention of “Donald Trump” in titles of a selection of articles in the media is replaced by “American People” — for whom Trump is merely the current mouthpiece in political, legal, executive, and public relations terms.

Jabberfear: Indoctrination, Fear-of-the-Jab, and Vaccination Passports?
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 21 Dec 2020

21 Dec 2020 – There is now a rapidly emerging confluence of dynamics associated with the pandemic–usefully caricatured as a jabberplex. These include:
* extreme pressure to accede to a singular mainstream perspective — without any space for doubt, or the right to freedom of opinion in that regard. (…)

Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 14 Dec 2020

14 Dec 2020 – Meeting Design through Interactive Incorporation of Participants and Content – Whereas virtual gatherings were relatively exotic in 2019, they have become commonplace (if not essential) in 2020.

Jabbercovid from the Jabberplex
Anthony Judge | TRANSCEND Media Service, 7 Dec 2020

2 Dec 2020 – The divisive nature of public discourse, most obviously between political opponents, could now be seen as characterized by repeated attempts to “take a jab at each other”. Rather than any reference to the “chattering classes”, the associated processes might now be caricatured as a feature of the “jabbering classes” — with the military-industrial and medical-industrial complexes usefully caricatured as forming a “jabberplex”.

Reframing the Imaginable Key to the Future?
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 30 Nov 2020

30 Nov 2020 – Clues to the Nature of a Global Reset – The World Economic Forum is proposing a Global Reset (or a Great Reset) as a form of panacea for the crises of global civilization. The complementary World Social Forum has not engendered any consensus on a panacea — other than curtailing those motivated by the World Economic Forum.

Varieties of Tone of Voice and Engagement with Global Strategy
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 16 Nov 2020

It has been estimated that 7 percent of meaning is communicated through the spoken word, 38 percent through tone of voice, and 55 percent through body language according to the 7-38-55 rule, which has been variously misinterpreted and subject to criticism, although considerable importance continues to be attached to tone-of-voice (irrespective of any rule and its relevance across cultures).

Missiles, Needles, Missions, Rifles, Projects, Bullets
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 2 Nov 2020

Transformation of a Civilization of Spikes and Penis Surrogates via Global Reset Mandalas ~~ In a period of crisis, which the conventions of global governance have been unable to address, much is now being made by elites of the need for a “Global Reset”, most notably articulated and promoted by the World Economic Forum and influential institutions at its annual Davos Forum. Use of “reset” is an appealing metaphor for techno-optimists who are typically inspired by familiarity with the ability to reset a computer rendered inoperable by one or more applications.

Anticipation of Judicial Inquisition of Humans by Extraterrestrials
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 19 Oct 2020

Potential Consequence of Failure to Adhere to Universal Principles of Intelligent Life – The purpose of this exercise is to reframe the relation of humans to non-human species — as it may be perceived from an extraterrestrial perspective, now or in the future. Humans are naturally skilled in framing their treatment of animals — notably justified by particular interpretations of religious scriptures held to be beyond question, as with interpretations of the Bible regarding human dominion over all animals.

Inspiration, Conspiration, Transpiration, Expiration
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 12 Oct 2020

Towards a Universal Model of Conspiracy Theories – Reference is widely made to the problematic existence of conspiracy theories, variously understood as deriving from fake news. In relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns are raised regarding the epidemic of misinformation. CTs are now held to be especially influential with respect to the US 2020 presidential election.

From Zoom Organization to Zome Configuration and Dynamics
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 28 Sep 2020

The concern in what follows is the quest for indications as to how the communication potential of virtual conferences might be more fruitfully organized — beyond past patterns of enabling the many to listen to the few. Those patterns can be seen as strangely echoing concern about the global resources controlled by “the 1%”, in contrast with those to which the remainder have access.

Fibonacci Spiral in 3D Framing Psychosocial Phyllotaxis
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 14 Sep 2020

Determining the Golden Angle for Global Governance Uplift – The question here is whether greater insight is to be obtained from representation of the Fibonacci spiral in 3D, as an approximation to the so-called golden spiral. Specifically how might this assist in reconciling distinctions of relevance to psychosocial development — or its progressive constraint.

Sustaining the Quest for Sustainable Answers on COVID-19

17 Aug 2020 – Beyond the Divisive Preoccupation with Unquestionable Assertions and Unanswered Questions – The early months of 2020 have seen no lack of questions and answers with respect to the coronavirus pandemic. Especially problematic is the process whereby discourse in this regard has been characterized by misinformation of every kind — and from every authority.

Re-membering the Globe from a Flatland Perspective
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 10 Aug 2020

Reconciling in 3D the Vitruvian Archetype with Sports Ball Curves – The speculation here is that the long-admired (and much-reproduced) Vitruvian Man, as famously depicted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1490, could be seen as apparently reinforcing a two-dimensional worldview — even though it is interpreted as implying and exemplifying what could be considered as a vital perspective on proportions in their more integrative global sense.

Baseball Cap Implications in the Quest for Global Hegemony
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 20 Jul 2020

The existence of “evil” is now widely recognized by world leaders. However, so little is done to explore how the organization of the “demonic forces” might be comprehended — beyond the geometrical allusion to an Axis of Evil. Especially problematic is the degree to which those qualifying others as evil tend to be so qualified. Even more remarkable is the failure to clarify how the “angelic forces” are organized.

Identifying Polyhedra Enabling Memorable Strategic Mapping
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 22 Jun 2020

22 Jun 2020 – Strategies, declarations and sets of values and principles typically take the form of lists with a specific number of items. The number selected often varies between 8 and 30. Examples are the 8 Millennium Development Goals of the UN and the 30-fold Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Currently a major focus is given to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.

Global Insight from Crown Chakra Dynamics in 3D?
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 8 Jun 2020

The purpose here is to note further possibilities in 3D, building on the models previously presented — and offering interactive access to them over the web. The various design metaphors explored here frame the question as to how global integration might be comprehended in dynamic terms in virtual reality — especially given other possibilities that such models might suggest.

COVID: Collective Overpopulation Vitiating Individual Dreams?
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 25 May 2020

Neglected Critical Factor Undermining Global Strategic Viability – The attention of the media and governments worldwide to “COVID” can be seen as unprecedented. It is now a primary preoccupation of international institutions, most obviously the UN and the WHO. The strategic response has been variously framed as a “war.”

COVID-19 as a Memetic Disease–An Epidemic of Panic
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 11 May 2020

Learning from Terrorism, Communism, Fascism and Evil as Pandemics of the Past – There is no denying that COVID-19 is a disease that is causing worldwide fatalities. Less evident is the extent to which it is a memetic disease–and the nature of the fatalities with which that is associated.

Alternating between Complementary Images of Coronavirus
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 27 Apr 2020

27 Apr 2020 – The response to the coronavirus, COVID-19 and the pandemic is variously framed in terms of threat, fear, surprise, panic, evil, pestilence, and the like. There is a case for exploring the set of such images as a source of insight in its own right.

Spike-Endowed Global Civilization as COVID-19
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 20 Apr 2020

The following argument explores the sense in which the very form of the virus effectively mirrors the nature of global civilization at this time. To an interesting degree it could be asked whether COVID-19 “is” global civilization — or whether global civilization “is” COVID-19. Like it or not, does the coronavirus effectively define the identity of global civilization as humanity has chosen to engender it?

Cowering for One’s Country in the War against Coronavirus
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Apr 2020

11 Apr 2020 – The argument here follows from a previous criticism of the strategy of social distancing, so rapidly adopted worldwide. The speed with which consensus was achieved within countries could be considered remarkable when compared to the procrastination so evident with respect to other issues variously upheld as urgent.

Coronavirus — Global Plan, Doughnut, Torus, Helix and/or Pineapple?
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Apr 2020

Zome Modelling Dynamics Allowing for Uncertainty in Perception of Order in Governance? Given widespread urgent calls for a “Global Plan” in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the argument first challenges the appropriateness of any “plan” in a global context. This is contrasted with the so-called doughnut model which has been presented as appropriate to ensuring a safe operating space for humanity.

Cognitive Engagement with Spike Dynamics of a Polyhedral Coronavirus
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 30 Mar 2020

30 Mar 2020 – The presentations here follow from an argument previously made suggesting that there were insights to be gained from the form of the coronavirus in 3D. In particular this highlighted the possible isomorphism between the configuration of spikes on the viral form and psychosocial forms potentially characterized in terms of “spikes”.

Weaponising Mass Distraction from Overpopulation Denial?
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 23 Mar 2020

The future may well marvel at the primary strategy advocated globally in response to the coronavirus pandemic, namely social distancing. The question here is the viability of social distancing on a planet on which overcrowding is already widely recognized — but as a purely local challenge. This is most evident in the restriction of access of tourists to popular destinations. The reality of local overcrowding is the theme of a separate argument which notes the total unreality of global implications

16 Mar 2020 – Crowning pattern that connects spiky organisms, satellite constellations, nuclear explosions, and egomania?

Future Commemoration of the Trial of Julian Assange
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 2 Mar 2020

The concern is with the accumulation of clues to a dramatic commemoration of the process, inspired by the Passion Plays so widely used with respect to the Trial of Jesus. The focus here is however on identification of dramatic elements and processes which might serve to highlight the passion for truth, most obviously associated with investigative journalism, and to a lesser degree by other disciplines exposed to lesser risk.

Extradition and Trial of Julian Assange
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 24 Feb 2020

19 Feb 2020 – The following items have been progressively accumulated as an addendum to an earlier document elaborated as a speculative dramatisation of the legal process against Julian Assange in several Christian countries. Given the probability of his extradition, trial and conviction in the USA, a further document was produced to offer Christians the possibility of collectively determining his punishment — in the spirit of that dramatisation.

Mysterious Complementarity between Capitalism and Arsenalism
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 10 Feb 2020

10 Feb 2020 – The discourse between those in favour of capitalism and those critical of it is now a characteristic of those concerned with social progress in general. The criticism of alternatives variously proposed could be said to follow a similar pattern. Both “sides” are comfortable with their understanding of the appropriateness of their own perspective and the dangerously misinformed inefficacy of the other — readily extended to framing what is opposed as fundamentally “evil”.

Crowdsourcing Just Punishment for Julian Assange

In a period of so-called just war, with which forms of “just torture” are increasingly evident, the concern in what follow is how best to reflect the highest democratic principles in those countries most inspired by the highest Christian values — and most implicated in the outcome of the trial of Julian Assange for having spoken truth to power.

16 Dec 2019 – Recognizing the Challenge of Soundscape Comprehension in Controversy and Emergency – Current discourse on any theme is readily recognized as characterized by distinctive “voices” and their associated “tones”.

Envisaging a Comprehensible Global Brain–as a Playful Organ
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 2 Dec 2019

The argument follows from the controversial assertion recently made by President Macron of France with respect to the “brain death” of NATO and the potential implications for any “global brain”. The question that is obviously raised with respect to the brain metaphor is the nature of the “brain waves” which might be detectable as indicative of life and intelligence in any global collective such as the United Nations or in any “think tank” (originally termed a “brain box”).

Are the UN and the International Community Both Brain Dead?
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 11 Nov 2019

11 Nov 2019 – The world has been confronted by the assertion by President Macron that NATO is “brain dead”. Rather than explore the case made with regard to NATO alone, the institutional problem recognized is far more fundamental and general. Given its coincidental timing, the assessment could then be readily dismissed as a riposte to the recent formal withdrawal of the US from the Paris Climate Change Agreement.

Action Now: Insights from Greta Thunberg, Krishnamurti and Julian Assange as Leaders of Religions?
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 7 Oct 2019

From the psychosocial systemic perspective, naively neglected by environmentalists, Climate Activism can be usefully compared with a new religion — something to believe in urgently, as being vital to the salvation of the planet. Those failing to do so, or acting otherwise, are then necessarily to be condemned.

Imagining Toroidal Life as a Sustainable Alternative
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 9 Sep 2019

From Globalization to Toroidization or Back to Flatland? Much is made of the fundamental shift in historical perspective from living on a Flat Earth to dwelling on a rotating sphere — a globe revolving around the Sun. The argument here endeavours to clarify the manner in which the toroidal form can be used in support of imaginative insight of strategic relevance — for the individual, if not for the collective.

Global Coherence by Interrelating Disparate Strategic Patterns Dynamically
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 19 Aug 2019

Any 16-fold pattern is a provocative challenge to comprehension, given the constraints on human capacity with respect to the complexity of any such pattern as a whole. This is especially the case when such a pattern is used by the United Nations to frame an overriding strategic preoccupation for global governance — with an explicit call for widespread credibility.

29 Jul 2019 – This exploration follows from previous concern that, despite their symbolic importance, little effort has been made to clarify the possible dynamics between people of wisdom variously configured together at an archetypal “round table”. The issue is of continuing importance with respect to 12-person juries and the committees of the wise periodically convened in response to challenges of governance.

22 Jul 2019 – Learning Action Avoidance from Rabbits in Anticipation of Disaster – Much is now made of assessments of carbon footprint, ecological footprint and climate footprint, and the strategies for their reduction in different situations.

International Complicity in Avoidance of Consideration of Long-term Human Suffering – In a period when much is made of the consequences of evolution of global warming over the coming decades and to the end of the century — highlighted by extreme weather conditions — virtually nothing is discussed about the evolution of migration pressure over the decades to come.

9 May 2019 – Donald Trump is the duly elected President of the USA — elected by the American People according to well-defined electoral procedures. It is currently irrelevant whether those procedures are in any way in question. Trump is therefore the legitimate representative of the American People.

Exploring Representation of the Tao in 3D
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 1 Apr 2019

1 Apr 2019 – The Tao symbol is widely known as an indication of viable harmony between opposites — understood as a possibility for a mature human civilization of the future. There is extensive commentary on the subtlety of the insight it represents, dating most notably from that of Laozi in the Tao Te Ching. This explains that the Tao is not a ‘name’ for a ‘thing’ but the underlying natural order of the Universe whose ultimate essence is difficult to circumscribe due to it being non conceptual yet evident in one’s being of aliveness.
