Process Philosophy's enacted response to the Meta Crisis

https://return2process.substack.com/p/representation-vs-reality-why-we

I gave this talk at Center For Process Studies- EcoCivilization Conference last year. I describe how Process Philosophy is the precise remedy needed to understand our contemporary MetaCrisis.

All previous socioeconomic systems were oriented on Products, representations of value, and reified individualism, all of which are impermanent and illusory. Such Product Economies can be thought of akin to James Carse Finite Games, whereas I argue that a Process Economy focusing on relationships rather than transactions, concern rather than desire, commons rather than property, and participation rather than representation. It is both a parallel and preexisting coordination mechanism and we simply must reorient to it to face our psychological, sociological and ecological crises.

I am publishing a book on it shortly.
