People who stereotype autistics as having a "problem" or "Need help" with 3-2-1-What is a shadow?
--As exhibited by "Exhibit A" by the appalling silence and disturbingly uncritical tone or rather, "nods of approval" expressed by so-called "integral" listeners by default in their lack of courage to challenge Michael Zimmerman's climate change "solutions" of recommending inaction and denial of climate change as his "solution" to an overwhelmingly uncritical and receptive "integrfal" audience who collectively or intersubjectively inan intersubjectve space of "inner We" exhibited nno indication that any among them as individual ego-subjects were scientifically-informed or capable of thinking critically or comprehensively on a topic of utmost concern for the sake of planetary survival to have the moral fortitude or individual decency or courage to speak out critically on behalf of GAEA to challenge his solutions of, "Can't we all je I-I we the people just agree to disagree with the "hard" scientific evidence of human-caused climate change and just 'get along' as "people" instead by endorsing "postnormal" (postmodern) "warm, fuzzy, soft" scientific relativity instead in the name of "diversity" of non-scientific "perspectives" in an intersubjective space of We the People vs. it-the planet mother Earth, a mondless its=objects?" The deafening silence expressed mutely by his unchallenged statement by any single listener out there or viewer of the video leaving the Universe the burden of responsibility to speak out against scientific fraud or this war on science being waged by politics in the name of integral to "attack the hard issues of climate change" by denying it and not a single objections to challenge such ludicrous claims or aims since there were no objections or critiques to challenge this shoddy treatment of Climate Change issues until I bothered to to air my disappointment and disgust at the lies and ignorance of so-called "integral" philosophers. This then permitted a few others (the "3 out of 32 who did not find it useful") to speak out in rejection of the fraudulent scientific claims made by integral on the subject matter, a scientific discussion. This is why I was utterly dumbfounded yet amused yet puzzled by the first comment that I received to my response, which turned out the have absolutely nothing to do with climate change, to my post, to my treatment of the scientific analysis of Zimmerman, or with nothing whatsoever in objection or agreement that was relevant to the topic of discussion, a scientific discussion on climate change on her and GAEA's behalf.. Instead, she merely "dropped by" to offer "help" by suggesting that I try 3-2-1 psychoanalysis after commenting that she read my profile and learning that I am autistic (uhh--what does that have to do with climate change...? or with any issues or concerns that she has specifically in regard to my treatment of the issue to which she was responding?) suggesting that there is a global crisis of ignorance held by not only individuals in society-at-large but also or perhaps even especially the case within the Wilberian community which seems fixated on "personhood" and "Self" and basically--the psychological end of personal self-development as in Self-Help New Age sections of bookstores with nothing original to offer in terms of what is integral in any of the other disciplines. As if to suggest that what it means to be "integral" is first and foremost, the development of social skills, interpersonal relations, capacity to form friendships and relations, and the ability to "relate" or "empathize" or communicate with climate change deniers to understand the often very deceptive and self-deceptive tactics employed by persons and complicated "unwritten rules of society" and emotional maturity as the most defining aspects of what it means to be "integral" (e.g., "degree of I-I individual personal excellence of human self-hood" as opposed to "it-objects"). While granted that "arrested development" in any area or line of development can potentially stunt an individual from selfdevelopment of shadows or even mutation into the newest consciousness, the I-I endorsed by I-Integral philosophy emphasizes personal Selfhood and "relating" to other personal selves for "altitude" of personal self-development at the expense of planetary survival and scarcity issues as the par excellence of being "ingtegral" and is hence no adequate to meet the demands of the newest consciousness and must be superceded by the newwest mutation which is not merely confined to that of psychological self-help issues relating to the ability to have empathy to put oneself in someone else's shoes to think from "other people's perspectives" e.g., social empathy for personal or interpersonal success to "get along with ones shadows" which are those traits that are shared or dis-owned by nearly all humans, nearly all of whom are neurotypicals (whether they are integral or no) yet seem to do very little to inform anyone of second-tier planetary survival and scarcity issues which is the concern of the newest consciousness revealing a hypocrisy in that "shadow work" permits the dis-ownership of self-deceoption of dis-tedentity of self from objects in space such as the physical Earth evidently in an effort to first dis-identify with the Earth so that they can "have it" for possession by "dis-owning" it as part of I-I dentity which as made painfully obvious to me by the mass-hypnosis of self-deception and denial ; yet the very traits which are deficient or lacking in those of us who are neurologically "diverse" or have a communication disorder and cannot understand nonverbal communication and many things spoken "between the lines" by normies as if in doublespeak. Most autistics, myself included, have the emotional maturity of a 13 year old and have neve r learned how to master many basic skills and yes, me do watch cartoons such as "Kin-Possible" and Space Ghost Coast to Coast and have many childish preoccupations that we should have outgrown by 13 but we never did. Me not ambarrassed about any of that nor do me feel inferior to any of I-I becau of that not understanding humans. Does this mean we have "shadows" any more than she does or the normal human does? Adt least we can get "in touch" with more fundamental "shadows" such as physical objects and identifiy with them via sense of either identity or be-longingness which is more important than that of "having" magical 3-2-1 interconnected dotso people which is the impression we get of the lady who recommended -321 and claimed that "she was only trying to 'help me" as if I have some kind of a "[=problem" that need "I need 'help'" by her I-I when she did not say ndada anything concerning ownership of shadow of planet Earth as part of her idetntity rather than possession for identity for a sense of be-longingness to it and the Universe rather than "having" if she did not care about it at all. uYet I am willing to akcowledge that there may be some "hidden shadowns" that I don't know about but she of I-I will have to explain how defending mother planet Earth from the rape of scientific denial of climate deniers can be thought to be a "shadow" of "me" that I disown when the shaadow appears to be an aspect not of truth but of denial of cliamte change and denial who are in denial because they deny that they are deniers and claim to be "skeptics" so obviously are dealing with some "shadow elements" and we are sent here by the Univefsity to offer their mirror to look at themselfs how they look to me and to the Unvierse. Likeweise, f I have some kind of a "probvlem," I expect people t3ellme straightup what they are" talking about" by pointing out specifically on the post what they meant. Don't you worry about embarrassing me because i really would like to know what you think is my "PROBLEM." I had to look up "shadow" to make sure I know what it mean?
In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts. It is one of the three most recognizable archetypes, the others being the anima and animus and the persona. "Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."[1] It may be (in part) one's link to more primitive animal instincts,[2] which are superseded during early childhood by the conscious mind.
According to Jung, the shadow, in being instinctive and irrational, is prone to project: turning a personal inferiority into a perceived moral deficiency in someone else. Jung writes that if these projections are unrecognized "The projection-making factor (the Shadow archetype) then has a free hand and can realize its object--if it has one--or bring about some other situation characteristic of its power." [3] These projections insulate and cripple individuals by forming an ever thicker fog of illusion between the ego and the real world.
Jung also believed that "in spite of its function as a reservoir for human darkness—or perhaps because of this—the shadow is the seat of creativity."[4]
You are going to have point out "specifically" what you mean by that remark or I will have to assume that you are making a "racial slur" of some kind ofo stereotype A Exhibit A against Autstic against TYPES whom you they apparently regard as somehow developmentally arrested, inferior, retarded, or "somethng" maybe deficient magic tricks or dunce moves such as "I-I-3-2-1-1-2-3-Dunce moves in spatial #D3 spatial extenot music to only shadows dancing in the mind of perspecives, a revitalization of deficient magical one-dimesnional you were only trying to help me" AS IF I have some kind of "problem" that "humans" could "help" me with when I am beyond hope of human "help" yert clearly I-I may have shadows like anhy one I-I am sure but can't think of any that apply to me as pertain s to you or any other peoples bu still don't "get" what "shadow" "means" enither. Another thing that I find bizarre is that you completely ignored the post that I posted concerning the falsehoods of climate change denial which under the circumstances was entirely called for and appropriate and necessary in the absence of any defenders of scientific truth but you had absolutely nothing to say in response. This suggests to we that you do not consider the denial of climate change narrated by Zimmerman and the interviewer as a form of denial eg. "shadow" but rather, as truthy truly good story Dream On, but we die feel that you were sincere in your efforts to offer "psychological help" to me instead we get our "ideas" from both fools and from sages and 'get' that the universe is using II she and me for a "reason".. Yo check out this one you gave me some bad ideas!! Those #D3 3D glasses that you oo looky like you are wearing the black high-tech kind of 3d glasses as if to suggest that you are unconsciously trying to disown Red/Green 3D shadows by claiming to be a "higher" high-tech dark 3D glasses that can detect motion in 3d but when i clicked on your provile, you not even wearing any g'alasses that was a "trickydicky" magical trick to fiool me into thinking that you were wereing motionidetecting 3D insrtead of traditional kind.
Here is you r copy of your post, in case you "for got":

Aspie?

I checked over your profile a bit. This must be one of your fields of expertise, yes?
I see you are very skilled at handling Objects mentally. And I see that you are even able to turn the Subject into an Object. I have two Aspie friends who can also do that.
Can you do a quality, authentic 3-2-1 on those who you think are wrong?
I'm not asking this to embarrass you. I'm attempting to remedy a situation which you may or may not even see. I'm trying to help.
