societies with diverse ideologies, be it religion, politics, culture, or social constructing, often struggle or collapse due to divisive disharmony.

societies with homogeneous ideologies tend to be sustaining & stable.

i think all of these isms are not sustaining, just as i believe no governmental system is sustaining. these isms are temporary ideologies for a time or era, that do not sustain humanity, societies, & planet earth.

in my studies of these isms, i subjectively found resonance & dissonance in the philosophies within these isms.

i resonate with post post modernism in that post-postmodernism is emerging as one where faith, trust, dialogue, performance, and sincerity can work to transcend postmodern irony & the superfluous post modern, metamodern, & modern eras.

i don’t resonate with remodernism.

in the ideologies & theologies of post modernism, i resonate with the dynamics of neo-romanticism, in which truth is found through spiritual, psychological, soulful, emotional, physical exploration of the inner self & attaining harmony with cosmos & nature, in alignment with scientific-rationality, in which truth is defined through methodical, disciplined inquiry.

i resonate with post modern theory in that, postmodern thinkers frequently describe knowledge claims and value systems as contingent or socially-conditioned, describing them as products of political, historical, or cultural discourses and hierarchies.

i don’t resonate with some thought, values, & ways of post modernism. i resonate with new sincerity & find dissonance with postmodern irony, something that is meant to be cynically mocked and not taken seriously. i have looked down upon manipulative, ironic, post modern irony, sophisticated, pretentious wit, sarcasm, & making a mockery of people, situations, etc.

i have never partaken in such trivial nonsense offensively, i have ignored, as to not add that kind of unconsciousness & fragmentation to the collective, i am sophisticated, yet, in my lower consciousness, i can be witty, sarcastic, or make a mockery of people & situations, & i have responded out of defense to all kinds of manipulations, pretenses, petty, projecting, pathetic, & preposterous people, situations, & society in general at times, directly light of heart, theatrical or indirectly in some private musings for writings, or private writings.

new sincerity  is something meant to be taken seriously or “unironically”. i have found great dissonance & difficulty in the post modern era, dealing with the lower consciousness of post modernism. being naïve, i have had to learn how to empower myself in a post modern era in society. i think post modernism is ultimately fragmenting & destructive to some degree, i think much of post modern thought & value systems are destructive, not constructive. i also don’t resonate with a lot of the post modern music, art, design, & culture. my escape from post modernism in society has been through the new age movement. that is where i found my solace.

i have lived my life with sincerity, & i have been into & dedicated to new age spirituality, philosophies, practices, & new age lifestyle since i was fourteen years old.

i resonate with meta modernism in the way of what i find resonance with in the post modern era & the modern era, simply.

i think altermodernism & hypermodernity in any ideological system is cause for chaos in societies. i think there is intelligent technology in the world today being used in intelligent ways that are harmonious with humanity & nature. i also think there is intelligent technology being used & abused by the consciousness levels of insane, psychopathic, ill minded, or ignorant consciousness levels that are causing chaos, collapse, & destruction.

i don’t resonate with neo modernism.

i resonate with some intellectual thought & innovation in modernism. i find great dissonance with modernism in general. not much intelligence, solace, or harmonious sustainability for humanity & planet earth.

i resonate with premodernism in that of some dynamics of metaphysics, spirituality, religion, some intellectual thought & culture. i resonate with stable authoritarian structure in society. i resonate with homogeneous ideologies in regard to spirituality, religion, politics within a social construct. i don’t resonate with some dynamics of religion, social constructs & feudalism.

on this chart of modernism & pre modernism, i resonate with some dynamics of both supernatural & naturalism, mysticism/faith & objectivism (reason & experience) some dynamics of the philosophy of tabula rasa & autonomy, & some dynamics of religion, tradition, & practices, i resonate with individualism & intelligent collectivism. i don’t resonate with feudalism or some dynamics of liberal democracy & liberal capitalism.

i resonate with some dynamics of pre pre modernism, of older & ancient tribal philosophy, in that of mysticism, intelligent social constructing, & living in harmony with tribes along with other tribes, the animals, & nature.

out of all of the political & social constructing ideologies, i had chosen these ideologies that could intelligently be infused into a new kind of system. i invented how the system could be infused & called it genioism.

an intelligent infusion of these ideologies & social constructing.

National GovernmentThe government of a nation-state and is a characteristic of a unitary state. This is the same thing as a federal government which may have distinct powers at various levels authorized or delegated to it by its member states, though the adjective ‘central’ is sometimes used to describe it. The structure of central governments varies. Many countries have created autonomous regions by delegating powers from the central government to governments at a sub national level, such as a regional, state or local level. Based on a broad definition of a basic political system, there are two or more levels of government that exist within an established territory and govern through common institutions with overlapping or shared powers as prescribed by a constitution or other law.
AutocracyAutocracy is a system of government in which supreme power (social and political) is concentrated in the hands of one person or polity, whose decisions are subject to neither external legal restraints nor regularized mechanisms of popular control (except perhaps for the implicit threat of a coup d’état or mass insurrection). Absolute monarchy (such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab EmiratesOmanBrunei and Eswatini) and dictatorships (also including North Korea) are the main modern day forms of autocracy.
TribalismA system based on a small complex society of varying degrees of centralisation that is led by an individual known as a chief.
GeniocracyRule by the intelligent; a system of governance where creativity, innovation, intelligence and wisdom are required for those who wish to govern. Comparable to noocracy.
NoocracyRule by the wise; a system of governance in which decision making is in the hands of philosophers. (advocated by Plato)
TheocracyRule by a religious elite; a system of governance composed of religious institutions in which the state and the church are traditionally or constitutionally the same entity. The Vatican‘s (see Pope), Iran‘s (see Supreme Leader), Caliphates and other Islamic states are historically considered theocracies.

new fashions & old fashions, generational trends, fashion, & unique styles. why judge people according to what is in their shopping carts, what they are wearing & why, & please don’t copy my unique style, thanks.

i have always bought clothing from high end boutiques, indie shops & markets, vintage stores & second hand stores, very rarely have i purchased clothing from corporate stores, like macys, unless for a special occasion, or if i was looking for something specific & couldn’t find it anywhere else. i have rarely purchased clothing from catalogs, besides victoria’s secret for underwear & pajamas when i was a teenager & younger twenty something.

clothing brands i wore in my tween years: free people, delila, esprit, bongo, funky people, & jordache i combined chic, bohemian, & urban to put together my own style & outfits.

i wore the same clothing brands in my teenage years, though more chic & mixed boutique & second hand clothing.

more writing on my fashion evolution.

i started to shop online around 2020. although convenient, & i can find specific clothing & natural/somewhat natural materials to work with my unique style, i don’t like online clothing shopping. there are so many cons to shopping online. most clothing today is made with cheap material from corporate places

i can not trust where i get my clothing from. or what i order, is what i order. colors, designs, sizes or materials.

i do not trust the online shopping network. i do not know why, how, or where the products i am buying come from.

although i have some trust in online shopping & delivery, not much.

what i order, i can not see, feel, & try on in person, this makes it difficult for me as a (vak) visual, auditory, & kinestatic person. yes. i made up a new term “vak”.

no, i don’t want to look like the models wearing the clothing i buy. i would never wear the clothing the way many of the models wear the clothing. i have my own style & ways of putting pieces together to make my own outfits.

the concept of modeling. models are empty canvases. human mannikins that help people determine sizes & fits. that is the job description. modeling clothing. general modeling all ages, “races” sizes & shapes, categorical modeling, & ageist modeling.
