In the Theory
@F-L-O-W, Teachable Points of View, we call TPOVs are arranged
in a manner much like a periodic chart of elements. These
elements then form combinatorial beliefs, attitudes,
worldviews, values, and behaviors.
In this essential program @F-L-O-W, as we did in the book, we
outline what we call the PRIMES. These PRIMES @F-L-O-W are
designed to give you a quick set of tools, filters, and if you
will biases with which to immunize yourself as quickly as
possible against the Blank Slate Virus, or BS for short.
This is critical because the design in BS is to manipulate
you, using your own irrational beliefs as the basis from which
to control your consumptive behavior. By switching you out of
needs to wants, a panoplay of experience can obfuscate or
cloud your intrinsic purpose.
Colluding with our irrational nature for more, BS undermines
our ability to say YES and NO to people, places and things
which all serve to ingratiate us towards increased consumption
to keep you in the rat race, and on the merry go round,
chasing your tail, or your grail, both are the same.
Happiness is NOW, but always postponed by BS, as we are
influenced through "propanganda machines created by those (all
of us involved in the consumption-affluence paradigm) who
benefit from your inconspicuous consumption.
In the world that is emerging, resources-at least those in
traditional formats–are going to reach limits. Consumption
and the affluence design correlated with it, to create the
good life will literally have us at each other’s throats as we
compete for these resources, rather than collaborating,
peering, sharing and glocalizing, which is more closely
matched with our innate purpose–to be alive.
What the PRIMES @F-L-O-W provides is a set of guiding elements
which are easy to learn, understand and grow within yourself
to come back home to yourself and leave the influencing
tactics of the advertising gurus object, at least, so you
create some space between your life, work and relationships
and a society which is driven almost purely now by the needs
to grow bigger, more affluent and devise because of the
distancing of the haves and havenots.
This is not some "never buy anything again, live like a
survivalist" paradigm!
What PRIMES @F-L-O-W provide is guidance for necessary
consumption–each to his own–while being respectful of those
who are not as fortunate.
Life Is GOOD @F-L-O-W, and better because of our lessening
dependence on growth–as more, as the only way to solve
problems.
Our greatest gift @F-L-O-W is to eliminate problems, rather
than consuming resources to solve them.
