Felix's Post-Foundationalist, Pragmatist Ideas of Progress and Wealth

Many people are afraid of knowledge, power, wealth and riches, extreme experiences and behaviors. The masses of the people are generally conservative. But knowledge, power, wealth, etc. are what is necessary for mastering our environments and circumstances. We have evolved a large brain for these purposes. 

Of course we have to become more aware of the interconnected nature of our existence, the inseparability of opposites, the continuum of cause and effect, etc. This interconnected, interpenetrating, interdependent, continuous phenomenon of existence is the larger context within which we must seek and utilize greater knowledge, power, and abundance. 

In our cultural dialogues, I want to steer our conversations in these directions more. Let our futures be the intelligent living with the environment. Poverty is a stupid and outmoded way of thinking. Let us steer away from it. We have wallowed long enough in poverty. And there is no stopping to human stochastic tinkering. It is in our nature. We are homo sapiens...tool users. We have evolved to tinker. So let us do it intelligently. This is true wealth.
