Imaginary Dominionism 180206

Note: The .pdf version (Trump Imaginary Dominionism) was posted July 3, 2019. This text version will likely be edited further. The reasoning for posting a draft was based on “A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow”. This is due to Trumpism tendency to follow the “A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week”, and the run away to fight another day versions. These actions could make this paper moot. September 20, 2019 Version

-200315-2.2. Prior analysis concluded that THEPA would not end due to an accelerated biocalamity. The Coronavirus PHEIC has changed that opinion. Unfortunately forecasting what will likely happen is more uncertain, open source information remains contradictory and THEPA is muddled (possibly fissuring into factions) on its goals and approach for COVID19 . It could very well end THEPA – THEPA is not just Trump who is vulnerable to COVID19 – but THEPA thrives on exploiting vulnerabilities by creating uncertainty and chaos. COVID19 can be an excuse to grant extraordinary powers =2=, but that can conflict with the desired public image be projected Trump Fears Emergency Declaration Would Contradict Coronavirus Message, Trump May Declare National Disaster to Free up Funds for Coronavirus. [Cartoon]. So far there are no new patterns of behavior of THEPA with Coronavirus. There is still blame deflection/ red herrings; doubling down on false statements =2=; gaslighting that changed narrative has always been their position and opponents had the wrong position; misinformation =2=, conspiracy theory; Dunning-Kruger =2=; ignoring expert recommendations; denial of responsibility =2= =3=; continuing policies that are xenophobic, harm the impoverished, increase risks for the vulnerable, decrease capabilities and buffer from disasters, poor economic decisions if favor of short term growth, degrade the environment, cronyism, erodes the rule of law...., and muddling =2=/ obfuscation of the situation. In the future there will undoubtedly be claims that containment/ control of coronavirus is due to Trump, whether or not there was finally effective action and if those actions actually had efficacy or were synchronicity.

-1. This is not the paper that was originally written on the aftermath of post Trumpism’s health and environment policies and actions (THEPA), [Cartoon]. The first version was discarded after determining the models that forecast a collapse of current health and environmental policy are not applicable to the immediate aftermath, and without knowing the immediate aftermath it is irresponsible to forecast consequences, 191103-2A. The original paper’s collapse was disappointing because approximately twelve months were spent working on it after the author’s last paper^-2.3↓. Having to rewrite was frustrating because the original was a good paper, though It is concerning it could have potentially been widely accepted because it fit the socially approved characteristics of good writing^-8↓, and supported a biased perspective, both of which would obscure the paper’s grievous flaw. This is the third, and likely last, paper on THEPA. The first paper^-2,3↓ was an informed speculation of what was likely to happen, the second^-2.3↓ was an evaluation of what happened and likely to continue to happen. Though completely different than the original this second version mostly uses the same links that are prior to or soon after February 6, 2018. There are many previous examples, and undoubtedly there will be more recent ones that will have more time for effects to become more pronounced (Slide).

+. (Added). Items added to this .txt version from the earlier published .pdf version. These either add material that should have been in the earlier posting, or are material that further illustrate or contradict what was posted before. Editing of the .pdf paragraphs are not noted. Because this paper is cumbersome enough and not intended as an academic tome, the reference links are limited to just one, though multiple citations are possible for each. The citation is not necessarily the best information available in terms of scientific validity, but a typical example of a belief that guides behavior. In some cases a citation may be contradictory to the statement, again not necessarily valid but representing a belief. Readers are encouraged to find more material to support or debunk observations from either a valid or belief perspective.

+ The author has to admit to Trump Fatigue. The constant barrage and repetition has worn be down to the point of total ennui concerning the topic. One would think that behavior that will contribute to mass extinction would be more riveting, but at this point can we just all die.

            -1.1. The day after the State of the Union (SOTU) for 2018 was the planned cutoff date to post the original paper. However, the posting was delayed because the SOTU was delayed until February 5, 2019. This gave an unaccustomed time to consider further – unlike the Parademic Database Weekly Notes (PDWN, the data supporting this and other work), which as stub notes is rarely fully reviewed and edited. This delay (Quote) proved fatal to the paper. It was realized that though there is much that could be said about post gubergenic^-1.2↓ THEPA, there was no value to do so (Quote). In fact, the first version was unintentionally potentially harmful by distorting perception and interpretation – the same as Trump speak – risking misapplication that would exacerbate Harvard’s Law and the cobra effect of what will happen in an unknown aftermath. The paper was another demonstration that even the best heuristic will not survive contact with reality, and of Issawi's Law of the Social Sciences.

            -1.2. Guber (government) [Meme ✘*] + genic (causal origin). Over time the usage of the suffix -genic has acquired the meaning of “causing harm and damage”, as in anthropogenic^-6.3↓, pathogenic and iatrogenic^{-6, -6.3↓}. There is a significant difference between gubergenic^-1.1↑ and other genics. By and large^-3.2↓ behaviors that are ultimately detrimental tend to have the unintended consequences of Hanlon’s razor, based in unexamined assumptions and actions that were not completely thought out. Gubergenic^-4↓ on the other hand tends to be aware that the intent is to cause harm. It is true that sometimes draconian measures [Meme, Dragon Energy], are perceived as necessary to prevent greater harm, or to reach an objective and remain in power at any cost. This type of self inflicted harm usually happens because actions to nip a problem when it was still small and easily handled were not taken. This inaction is usually because it would cost too much, that it is not a problem, or will solve itself, and would cause embarrassment. Usually avoiding preemptive and contraceptive measures result in far higher costs, to include lives and humiliation. Gubergenic tends to be uncaring of its genics to others, as long as its self centered wants and needs are met. THEPA gubergenic appears to believe in a they lose we win game^-5.3↓, a trend that is likely to have unintended consequences of biosphere cascading failure, or a game of they lose we lose. Other sources cover Trumpism gubergenic tactics, acts, and detrimental consequences, but it will probably take time to identify all of THEPA harm and damages. *✘ identifies what may be accepted as fact when it it actually false [Meme ✘]^-1.4↓.

            -1.3. It is not yet known to what degree and which behaviors will influence post THEPA. For the current fremdschämen THEPA there are no indications of if, and in what ways, it may change from its trends toward its crash, except that these will continue to escalate until the break^-5↓. These trends do not indicated the how and when of the denouement, or what will happen after. There is too wide a range of possibilities^-2↓ due to the complications of human factors and lack of data to visualize a forecast cone. Furthermore, this paper is based on the unfamiliar epistemology and concepts of parademic^-1.4↓ (paralain +demic) – the study of the interaction and connections between the biosphere and anthroposphere^-3.2↓, the behaviors that occur in context of existential threats from the biosphere, and anthropogenic threats to the biosphere. The original version had used more familiar terms, but that contributed to it being misleading [Strip]. One of the cues^-8↓ that equivocation is occurring are unfamiliar words to alert a reader that their interpretation may need revision [Cartoon, Cartoon]. The words THEPA, Imaginary and Dominionism^-3↓ used in this paper were in the original, signal unaccustomed definitions. However, in the context of the original paper the definitions once learned gave the false impression those definitions would apply post THEPA. During THEPA the terms are useful and predictive, albeit cassandric, but until there is data on the changed circumstances of post THEPA, it is impossible to tell how and if these terms are applicable for the aftermath.

            -1.4. One of the parademic^-1.3↑ concepts that is seminal for this paper has been expressed by THEPA as alternative fact, gut over brains, truth isn’t truth. Humans tend to behave in concert with what they believe is true^{-4, -5.1↓}. Though ideally this would not be so, it is consistently observed among humans that it does not matter if the belief is erroneous. This report on the THEPA parademic, does not report facts. Instead it is about what people believe and behave as if true, no matter the contrary (unaccepted) evidence, and the deleterious consequences that can be explained away by beliefs [Meme ✘^-1.2↑]. This is seen in hindering parademic behavior during existential threats, such as: denying a couple of degree change in global average temperature will change the whole environment of Earth, disbelief that invisible germs cause illness and death, that statistically impossible disasters cannot happen. The principle holds for anyone who communicates fact that they do not believe. In those cases the prevarication is the means to achieve what they really believe. The question of validity in parademic is not “fact”, but “in what social milieus is it true”.

-2. The original intent was to describe the likely aftermath after THEPA loses its hold on government, but the nature of the transition to what follows makes forecasts unreliable^-1.3↑. It is not possible to predict the various aftermaths of the disasters of the THEPA disaster, especially with the weakened capabilities to respond to any disasters, the proclivity to accelerate Biosphere Calamities (Biocalamity)^{-2.1,  -3.1↓}, and the increased mistrust of government making it ineffective, maybe unwilling, to help those in need [Cartoon]. This milieu is complicated further as there are indicators of several uncoordinated overt and covert preparations for post Trumpism, to include its own efforts to stay in power.

+. Identification of indicators of trends against THEPA are imaginary in that they can be interpreted in different ways, may represent what people hope for, are biocalamity like with slow ups and downs before acceleration, and are not the only trend. What one is looking for is a confluence of conservate beliefs that are in opposition, outright rejection by former allies and favorable media, expression of desire to take direct legal action [Fhoto], removal of related icons, popular entertainment and humor that criticize THEPA, businesses that reject THEPA, and acceptance within THEPA of science that was formerly opposed. Due to the subterfuge, and other complications, elections of public officials, and polls concerning officials, only have a weak relation to trends in opposition or in favor of THEPA.

            -2.1. A catastrophic existential event in the biosphere affects the life sustaining properties (food, water, air, raw materials, light, etc.) of biomes, atmosphere, hydrosphere (to include cryo), lithosphere, thermalsphere and technosphere^-2.2↓. Given that life is constantly adapting to the dynamic system of changing living conditions, biocalamities are a continual normal condition, but are usually glacially slow (contemporary conditions may negate those definitions). However, a biocalamity^-2↑ that is in acceleration (slide 7) exceeds capabilities of living organisms to adapt and sustain. Eventually this becomes a tipping point that results in a cascading crash through Populations, Health, Ecological, Social and Environmental Systems (PHESES), to include the possible deceleration of a mass global extinction [Cartoon].

            -2.2. The technosphere^-2.1↑ [Art] is not limited to human technology. All living organisms modify their habitat to be more suitable for themselves and/or as a consequence of its life processes (Quote). The term for human created environment is Anthrome^{-3, -4, -6.3↓}.

            -2.3. The first two papers and preparation for this paper were based on the repeated observation that THEPA is incrementally and more frequently being circumvented, mitigated, overruled, neutralized, and ignored [Strip]. This does not mean THEPA will have no lasting impact or is facing a rapid imminent demise. THEPA’s end will likely be the result of self inflicted harm, not related to+ criminal THEPA and corruption. At most THEPA will become a dormant reservoir of an unchanged belief system and erroneous assumptions, while its sequelae^-6.2↓ will remain for decades. The end of THEPA may be abrupt, but will not be total, unless all humans disappear at the same time – taking most other macro species with it. Moreover, THEPA is not limited to one country, it has analogous social phenomena globally, and those are likely to continue to rise and fall post THEPA. Prevention and mitigation of the THEPA aftermath from its biopolitics and bioeconomics are unlikely. The processes of the biosphere have too much momentum and will continue to accelerate. However, the heuristics^-1.1↑ Imaginary^-3+↓ and Dominionism^-4+↓ will give insight into THEPA f2 social obstacles to beneficial health and environment policy and actions, that will still influence post THEPA.

+. It has been noted that THEPA tends to behave as if above the law (authoritarian), and/or outside the law (criminal). This may be due to exploitative dominionism and the belief they are at the direction of a higher authority. In any case THEPA has not directly violated law, though a case can be made that weakening regulations designed to protect health and habitats against dumping toxins into the environment is the same as actually dumping toxins. THEPA attorneys make the opposite claim, not so much to win the case but cause sufficient delay to allow actions that before made illegal. These attitudes may explain that THEPA behavior that appears unconcerned about morals, ethics, and oaths of office. There is the tendency to treat such lapses and public outcries as a badge of honor and express pride at being clever at circumventing social norms. Post THEPA is unlikely to have expressions of shame or guilt, much less remorse, likely maintaining the previous pattern of blaming others (to include THEPA cronies who were caught) and claiming that nothing wrong (illegal) was done.

-3. Imaginary is the social construction/ consensus (Thomas Theorem) of reality^-6.4↓. There is no commonly agreed upon definition (belief) of reality that form the parameters of individual and social behavior^-1.3↑. Unlike physical reality – laws that operate whether one believes in them or not – social reality [Cartoon] is a persistent illusion that influences and determines behavior despite contrary direct experience and contrary evidence. This tendency of belief trumping reality is an effective tool for social manipulation, as well as justifying behavior that would otherwise be socially reprehensible and indefensible. People are immersed in imagineries that they are not recognized as being assumptions, therefore are unexamined and unquestioned, “just the way things are”. Anthromes^-2.2↑ though manmade are not imaginary, but are subject to imaginary interpretation.

            -3.1. There are several imaginary social constructs relevant to how people interact with the biosphere (Quote): property, government, religion, law, economics, traffic signs, temperature, commerce, poverty, nature, time, remote, not us, etc. A familiar example of agreed upon reality is monetary value. Food, water, air, shelter, and livelihood, have consistent and real value. There are fatal results if any or all of these life basics are toxic or contaminated (pathogenic), and/or if one or more are lacking for sufficient duration. Social constructs collapse when there are black swan disasters, or during a global cascading biosphere existential event\fs24plain . Monetary value is one construct that will collapse, and its collapsing cascade takes connected economic systems down with it. [Meme].

+. The social reality of money however should not be dismissed because it is not real. Lack of money was real consequences. Try to obtain food, water, shelter without a livelihood. This combination of physical and social reality makes human populations (included its domesticated animals) doubly vulnerable to famine, drought, megafire (loss of shelter). Air is so far free, but with the health consequences of polluted air, extreme temperatures of air require money for devices and treatments for health, and if oxygen levels are significantly reduced or overwhelmed by other gases and contaminants, human cognition is probably not possible. [Photo].

            -3.2. The imaginary value of money is highly influenced by economic ups and downs, both directions creating hardships and opportunities. Economic consequences tend to change paradigms, often times being the first obvious indicators that a biocalamity-^{2↑, -5.2↓} is impacting on the anthroposphere. Unfortunately, economic consequences are usually too late to create systems to prevent or mitigate. It is a constant that things change and that there are disasters. By and large^-1.2↑ imagined realities are sufficiently flexible to account for other imagined worldviews, and to explain events that should not be possible, [Slide].

            -3.3. There are people who value money above life, making it a gospel, believing that money is the only way to value things and others. Most people agree, at least for the sake of appearances, that money only has value as a medium of exchange for life necessities and ephemeral wants, (Quote, Quote) [Icon]. If a worldview is not too different from others’ imaginariness, and sufficiently correspond with reality, both interpretations can function with the other when reality or the beliefs [Cartoon] of others come into conflict. THEPA does not appear to have this flexibility. It persists in its attempts to impose its imaginary narrative(s) as the only one, claiming other’s perceptions and interpretations are fake [Cartoon]. THEPA’s coping with the persistence of counternarratives tends to be ad hominem, obfuscation, willful ignorance, and suppression of what does not support its magical thinking. These create an artificial acceleration of its vulnerable bubble of groupthink, necessitating increasing isolation from other social realities to maintain^5↓. This creates a cycle that makes it comparable to a personality^+↓ cult, vulnerable, risky, perseverant despite physical refutation, and dangerous if confronted or loses status.

+. -*^+↑ One of the cogitations of the original paper was to choose between the social constructs of money or race for describing THEPA. Money was chosen as being the simpler concept with more direct correspondence between access to health and environmental costs. The role of race in THEPA is muddled, conflicted and blended with several other concepts. However; it is not possible to fully understand THEPA without understanding othering^-6.2↓, nature and nurture,  legal institutionalized racism, xenophobia, nationalism, eugenics^-5.2↓, economic elitism, white supremacy, shit hole countries, popular culture concept of genetics “blood”, kinship, identity politics, personality^-3.3↑ cult -2^$- + Is Trumpism a Cult , + When a Pandemic Meets a Personality Cult.  This complexity and internal contradictions reflects the long history and larger social ambiguity, ambivalence and equivocation about the topic. *Keep in mind these are opinions, not proof, to claim these as fact (or fake) is THEPA.

            -3.4. A seminal concept of both parademic and imaginary is narrative construction, SLAI [Chart]: Sharpening of meaning by selection and emphasis of what supports the intended meaning of the narrative; Leveling to filter out and ignore what does not support the desired interpretation of the narrative^-5.4↓; Assimilation provides an a priori credible^-5↓ internal coherence to the narrative and make it consistent with other accepted narratives that makes it more likely to be accepted; Invention is filling in gaps with implication, biases, juxtaposition, order of receiving, shared knowledge (dog whistles), rationalizations, and internal projections by the receiver onto the narrative [Cartoon]. Invention was not part of the original formulation of theconcept. Inventions were noted as part of it in parademic, especially in THEPA SLAI’s of its narrative. Invention makes narrative a continual dynamic process that changes the meaning of the narrative over time and how it is used [Chart]. SLAI itself is neutral, simply being a heuristic of narrative creation, from the most rigorous academic science descriptions, or the most rabble rousing political slogan. All narratives can be assimilated to the SLAI heuristic, which itself is a narrative that has been subject to SLAI^-5.4↓. THEPA itself abounds with exaggerations, minimizing, framing and fabrications, [Cartoon].

            +3.5. One characteristic of THEPA is constant gaslighting and reframing the narratives, as well as shifting back and forth between mutually opposed narratives. This rewriting of history included its health and environment narratives, reframing to portray itself as pro health and environment. These misdirections range from conserving water =2= [Cartoon] =3=lain , air pollution, nutrition, access to health care, climate change, vaping [Cartoon]..... This change of the narratives is possibly a means to keep THEPA support base =2= which is becoming more concerned about health and environment =2=, but still not likely to abandon THEPA perfidy in mass.

-4. The heuristic Dominionism is adopted from THEPA officials who  cite Genesis 1:26, and other cherry picked biblical references. Taking out of context and logical fallacies are used by THEPA to justify plundering the environment and degrading capabilities of public health. This is the basis of THEPA’s gubergenic^-1.2↑ destruction of relationships and safety nets necessary to respond to and weather disasters. Besides being a mistranslation, there are two schools of interpretation that debate about Exploitative Dominion^-5+↓ and Stewardship Dominion [Cartoon]. Both are a belief that it is possible to control the interaction between health-environment (nature, laws of science), and people-culture (nurture, law), including anthromes^-2.2↑. Both are also useful for coping with the cognitive dissonance that occurs when what should happen (belief) and what does happen (consequences) do not have discernable one to one. By in large people expect a short chain between action and reaction; typically though the health and environmental consequences of biocalamities have long temporal and geographic cause and effect that can take decades of accumulation to be visible. With decades of time and hundreds of miles distance to separate bioevents it is likely that the gradual change is perceived as normal .

+. Dominionism is as umbrella term that covers the heuristic of THEPA guiding beliefs and goals. THEPA is not necessarily a form of religion but a homophily worldview about the relation of people with nature that uses cherry picked religious texts and logical fallacies for justification. The religious perspective is more nuanced than the binary stewardship and exploitive models. In the short term these difference are likely to become more pronounced, with competing interpretations, as part of the tipping point of THEPA crashing. 190922-5.1.

            -4.1. Changing definitions and spelling, neoglogisms, and disagreements about meaning are a consistent characteristic of parademic. Exploitive Dominionists tend to not like the term Dominionism, much less labeling as exploitive, framing the term as a Conspiracy Theory. Environmentalist has become an ad hominem and a positive term. Difference in meaning can have extremes, such as the worrisome virulent strain of Dominionists that adhere to an eschatological interpretation of devine punishment and an apocalyptic End of Time (and that Trump is annoited). This interpretation indicates a willingness to facilitate prophecy. This is an undesirable framing of the world^-5↓ for those responsible for safety and security of health and environment, but logical^-1.3↑ if they hold a belief of being protected from consequences, such as a 6^th mass extinction, < ADDED 190901->*C. [Cartoon, Cartoon].

+. The predicted continued pattern of increasingly volatile accelerated after the impeachment inquiry began [Cartoon =2=]. The narrative of Exploitive Dominion has changed to maintain that while they still have divine support, Trump may lose the mandate from heaven because of poor decisions that are in opposition to their evolving interpretations of their social construct =2=. With this adaptative narrative they can withdraw support without admitting that they were wrong in supporting, but because the person they supported lost their way. The impeachment probe also indicates that the Trump administration will likely resist being removed from office =2= while more vehement enablers will step up efforts to deify =2= [Cartoon =2=], and be completely immune to prosecution =2=. 

            +. As anticipated the dominionist model began to accelerate its break down after the impeachment articles but before the senate trial, a bit sooner than expected. The conflict between  the two types of dominionisnm =2= =3= =4= =5=, became public. This breakdown is likely to cascade into other social systems, such as rule of law which is already teetering, exacerbating the damage and social collapse. In any case information is becoming more confused, less certain, changing and contradictory, mirroring what happens to information in the aftermath of a disaster.

            +. There is the continued danth about environment =2= and health, along with cognitive dissonance among religious based exploitive dominionist who tend to argue they have the moral high ground, yet at the same time tolerate immoral behavior of those they support. The mechanism to cope with the contradiction is the circular logic that if appointed by God then what they do is to be tolerated as God’s will is unknown. THEPA itself will change its narrative, while also claiming it has not changed.

            -4.2. Post THEPA ideation and rapprochement will foster a reformulation of the two interpretations of Dominionism [Strip], or the issue will become moot. It is unlikely there will be a synthesis of the two, but it is currently unknown how emergent Dominionists paradigms will self organize. In general one will likely still be some form of absolute authority and separation from nature, while the other will tend to be relativistic and coevolving with the biosphere. This could be described as a groups internal conflict of values. This is not uncommon, especially in complex societies which are filled with value complications. For instance individual and property rights conflicting with public health and environmental regulations to protect communities, or the apparent oxymoron of a person of faith being a scientist.

+. Those who are religious will likely adapt belief to the new circumstances, not rejecting religion but only an interpretation from being protection with devine intervention, but a means to coping and surviving. If Climate Change Makes You Feel Hopeless, Maybe Religion Can Help.

-5. THEPA’s Imaginary Dominionism is an extreme form of both imaginary (Quote) and dominionism. It is an exception to the general principle of the adaptability of the imaginary to conflicting narratives of others and physical reality, persisting in causing damage and harm, making false statements [Meme], and increasingly reckless behavior  [Cartoon], losing the manie sans delire. This contributes to its overall trend toward the tipping point resulting in a cascading collapse [Cartoon]^-1.3↑. THEPA is taking more and more effort to sustain and defend as it diverges further from what others perceive as reality [Cartoon]^-3.3↑. THEPA’s alloyed sola fide, the concept that through force of will and manipulation of language it shapes the world to its image^-4.1↑, as a means to gain compliance with an imaginary reality that is not credible^-3.4↑. THEPA views are an unsustainable sisyphus [Cartoon], but THEPA is correct that language change is associated with existential threats. However words are not the cause of the threat, boorish words only antagonize cacophonic conflagrations^-6.3↓ [Meme]. Language change is related to the need for concepts to be able to communicate about emerging novel circumstances as paradigms break down^-7.2+↓.

+. Readers have probably noted that the THEPA Imaginary Dominionism Heuristic/ Model has not been articulated. In the original paper it was likewise not defined, but was presented in more fragmentary form as principles, reflecting the deceptively chaotic nature of THEPA. Basically THEPA is a flowchart, but as a living open system flows has multiple branches, constantly shifting terminals, ignored process to reach an a priori conclusions, and decision points are better described as decagons+. After the desired conclusion was reached, but usually resisted, the process was invented after the fact or there is back tracking to find another flow toward the goal. An example of the THEPA model in application is that 1) a persistent repeated behavior is identified; 2) The belief (justification, rationalization, logical fallacy) that motivates the behavior is imagined from repurposed social constructions; 3) A credible reason is given for the THEPA, such as saving or creating jobs or a gut feeling. 4) If the goal is thwarted, the flowchart is repeated, often times with claims it had already succeeded. Deeper examination consistently reveal self centered interests (profits), that support THEPA and its beneficiaries. Interestingly the self serving could consistently be defined as one or more of the deadly sins [Meme]. So far all of THEPA fit the exploitative meaning of dominionism^-4↑, even when not supported by or contrary to evidence, but it is unknown if the model will still apply immediately after it crashes and decelerates.

            -5.1. Despite its extremism THEPA Imaginary Dominionism is not an anomalous blip in human history. It is a conflict of values and ideas, a current confluence of one system of social contagions that are found worldwide, one that has a longue duree dating back to the dawn of civilization, if not before the archaeological and paleontological records of humans. If there had not been THEPA, some other form of theocratic dominionism would have insidiously gained power, as is happening in countries other than the US. Sobering to ponder that there could have been a competent and covert imaginary dominionism of damage to health and environment. If THEPA had manifested at another technological level, in a different political geography, its destructiveness would have been limited. [Cartoon].

+. There is a tendency of opposition of THEPA to medicalize it as an abnormal episode of the less savory aspects of American history and current society. This is seen with unflattering photographs of Trump, opinion pieces that allude to his habitual lying and other personal flaws, his deviancy of morals while being feted by those who emphasis morality, speculations of mental illness, implications of being a traitor, and continual malapropisms. This will has different impacts on THEPA supporters. Some will not change their minds about eventual goals, but will reject having Trump as representing who they are. This group could be potentially dangerous as their support was probably already based on anger, and if they perceived that they have been betrayed may erupt in physical violence not necessarily only directed with THEPA but taking revenge on everything, while others will become more strident to reach goals attacking what they formerly felt supported them. Others will continue to try to normalize THEPA, becoming more entrenched (or trapped and locked in) to supporting Trump as representing them. This inability to change is in part because those who identify with Trump will likewise be considered abnormal, primitive, immoral, inarticulate, ignorant, self centered, bigoted, immature, violent, enablers, naive, gullible, collaborators, and unamerican. Again potentially dangerous as this group will have few options – except those who can leave for non extradition countries or otherwise protect themselves or hide [Strip] – but to fight in dire desperation with vandalism and terrorism, or “legal” acts while still in power: releasing hazmats, arson, killing endangered species, contamination of food and water, declaring areas sovereign from the US, and attacks on “enemies”. There will be a portion of current supporters who will reject THEPA in its entirety, but this is likely to be a minority as it will probably include losing current identity and social networks, without a readily available replacement, and are likely to still face penalties and stigma for their previous behaviors. If sufficiently disruptive this situation can be something further exploited by parties who encouraged THEPA for their own purposes.

            -5.2. Though there are deaths, eugenics^-3.3+↑ [Meme], environmental degradation, and dangerous policies associated with THEPA, these do not reach the level of global existential biocalamity^-3.2↑. What THEPA does is exacerbate parademic behaviors that decelerate capabilities of resilience, while concurrently accelerating trends toward biocalamity^-7↓. Paradoxically THEPA, despite its proclivity to create and accentuate uncertainty as a tool to gain and maintain dominance, does not appear to have high tolerance for uncertainty, seeking to avoid situations it cannot control. Partly because of this THEPA is self poisoning, creating conditions it cannot survive. Unfortunately, it is embedded in social and biological systems where its demise could cause an extirpate cascade.

            +. Continued THEPA in regard to draconian measures to deter illegal immigrants, though internment with lack of basic necessities =2= and refusal of entry into the US until asylum status is determined. These, could be described as genocidal targeting a specific demographic =2=. It is unlikely that this charge will be made.

            -5.3. THEPA may be a normal mass grief response to the loss of an imaginary past^-6.3↓ with denial and anger at existential biothreats – turned against those forecasting and mitigating the threat – negotiation (deal making), but not yet reaching accommodation (willing to accept and adapt) with the current reality. A healthy grief process accepts change from an idealized past^-6.3↓ and illusionary present. THEPA has become fixed at the initial stages of grief, possibly because if it did go to later stages of the process, that would involve concurrent loss of perceived status and identity. For THEPA supporters even minor changes would probably mean loss of selfidentity, a cognitive equivalent to dying (Quote). Join incomplete grief with egocentric solipsism [Quote] – that there is no existence outside oneself, I win or everyone loses^-1.2↑ – then likely behavior is brinkmenship and creating conditions that are MAD.

+. What If Trump Supporters Love Chaos as Much as He Does. The creation of chaos for short term benefits is a useful tool for deception, distraction, becoming de facto.

            -5.4. When cognitive dissonance forces recognition that what is believed about the world is incorrect, that does not mean the associated belief system will be dismissed. Evolving narrative incorporates, sheds or invents elements to maintain its core^-3.4↑. This is enabled by a mass suspension of disbelief that helps individuals level out inconsistencies^-3.3↑ [Meme, Meme]. THEPA is remarkably imaginative to not adapting its narrative, while concurrently maintaining political legerdemain of It is support base. This may be more due to opposition of THEPA tending to be fragmented, defaulting to social norms and rule of law, while THEPA and its psychophant codependent supporters and enablers have no such restrictions in their pursuit of Cockainge. Some opposition to THEPA are adopting its tactics, which may help displace THEPA from positions of power, but, in the long run – which is getting shorter – will have a backfire effect on THEPA’s negative impact.

            -5.5. THEPA’s sidam touch [Meme, Cartoon] has increased distrust of government and expertise that is likely to endure for years. Uncertainty of trust tends to push people toward promoters of imaginary hope, especially when they are desperate. This is very concerning during liminal states^-7.1↓ between wane and wax. During a period of limbo after losing control of government THEPA will have sufficient zealots in key positions to makes its ending as destructive as possible, with thugs for intimidation and to interfere with legal interventions. Any good that comes from THEPA is unintended, though it is likely they will claim any beneficial outcome was their intent. It may well be that machiavellian THEPA has hastened and focused the response to global health and environment problems than would have happened without its destructive practices, but there is no way to test that. With this lack of a definitive answer^8↓ and other unresolvable ambiguities, what remains of THEPA will be able to continue to claim it was for the best and was better than whatever replaces it.

            -5.6. It seems counter intuitive that there is value from when systems break and haves cascading failures. A broken system can lead to learning how it functioned and how its parts interacted, either in friction of smoothly, within itself and other systems. When a system is functional there are no reasons to question the assumptions about why and how it works, and it is difficult to see emerging dysfunction if it appears to be successful. Any minor problems can be worked around (Quote), especially if there is motivation to hide problems [Photo]. The accumulation of jerry rigged corrections and band aid fixes, allow a system to normalize and limp along, even if it is nearing a catastrophic tipping point, indeed THEPA resulted from failure of systems. Eventually continual delay, ignoring problems and temporary solutions will fail, probably in a wider and more spectacular way than if it had failed earlier. Delays in taking full needed action leaves a narrative that everything is fine [Photo], until the fall that is difficult to repair and salvage. If we survive post THEPA we will know more about biosphere and anthroposphere systems, and if those lessons are learned they can be applied to prevent and mitigate future biocalamities (Quote). Unfortunately, humans have a history of not learning from history. It is preferable to discover, learn and apply knowledge of how the interactions of biosphere and society work before colliding with disasters of one’s own creation. Maybe considering the consequences of policy and action before they cause harm will become a norm in a sans THEPA future, but probably not.

 +. Despite the observations of misogyny, toxic masculinity, and the anachronistic roles of “traditional” gender, the significance of this was not recognized concerning THEPA. The environment and care taking of health – as expressed in the words Nurse = follower, unskilled, female, Doctor = leader, skilled, male – are considered feminine. It this archaic gender concept is applied to THEPA then the domination, rapine, destruction, might makes right, survival of the fittest, rollback of regulations, defunding of female and reproductive health, focus on wealth preservation despite losses, are consistent and compatible with observed THEPA.

-6. Whatever the timing and penultimate cause for the final demise of THEPA there are considerations for the aftermath to avoid acerbating the conditions. Because THEPA has suppressed and contaminated data it will need to be collected, then validated, analyzed, and then synthesize into application. Taking a pause to assess will be emotionally hard as the additional delay added to THEPA delays and perniciousness can very well result in more loss. It is necessary to think before acting to minimize expending effort on worthless projects, or worse, ones that later prove to be iatrogenic^-1.2↑ [Cartoon]. What is needed post THEPA is informed policy and action. Just doing what one speculates is what is needed to be done may give the appearance of progress, but is equivalent to THEPA’s bluster, masquerading opinion as fact (Quote), serving only its own interests without regard to consequences to others. Fortunately much of the preparation for post THEPA is already in progress, or in institutional records and memories of what should have been done but ignored by THEPA. All that is lacking are conditions that will allow this to become a mobilized operation, though it is very possible that these conditions will not be ideal.

            -6.1. There is one recommendation that can be made for the post THEPA transition period. Avoid the temptation to blame and punish THEPA officials, apologists and enablers. Besides being another THEPA tactic, [Meme], along with fear mongering and moral panics^-6.2↓, It is a diversion of attention, effort and resources that would feed into THEPA’s practices of deflection, obfuscation and red herrings [Cartoon]. These will cause further delay of mitigation and correction. There will need for be a deeper study to fully grasp the consequences of THEPA,and this will incidentally gather evidence that could be used for prosecution. It is easier and faster however to acquire validated and complete information if one has cooperation in partial atonement. The unintended consequences of creation circumstances where self serving interests are better served to continue to hide and destroy evidence will only cause further delay and possibly lead to decisions without key information. Though THEPA models are likely analogous to other post Trumpism consequences, as similar political and social civil disruption, be cautious about doing so. A characteristic of parademics is that what seems to be the same can in fact be very different [Chart], while what appears to be in conflict can have a common basis [Cartoon].

            6.2. The sequelae^-2.3↑ of THEPA are likely to make Reverse Triage necessary. This is not the traditional life (health and environment) saving efforts with priority given to that which needs the most help. This is triage when there are limited resources, limited time, and an excess of needs that overwhelms capacity to help and save [Slide, Slide]. Hard decisions are likely: Who can be delayed, who is critical to saved if resources are available now, who cannot be saved or saving will risk saving others. As the process of triage and treatment of THEPA consequences progresses there will be constantly changing priorities and the shifting of resources. One mistake to avoid is that post THEPA is likely to become a massive crisis exacerbating further the crises it created [Cartoon], concurrent with aggravating health and environmental crisis [Cartoon]. In these conditions one can easily become exhausted, which will result in fatal mistakes being made from burn out. It is possible that the social backlash to THEPA will include extreme ludditism, environmental zealotry, an inquisition of moral panic^-6.1↑ to eliminate the scapegoats that are seen as the causes. If that happens, the blaming and othering^-3.3+↑ will worsen the conditions that THEPA fostered.

+. The .pdf version did not cover that triage will also be done the THEPA as people in that orbit take actions to save themselves [Cartoon], creating social distance from consequences, and salvage what can be salvaged. This is one of the anticipated behaviors just prior to and during the THEPA collapse that will invalidate the THEPA Imaginary Dominionism Model for forecasting THEPA policy and action. This triage is not based on need but on level of support provided previously, how it will benefit and be a risk to the person who gives aid. Faithful supporters who continue to support THEPA, but who have limited resources, or are too risky, to continue to benefit the recipients of THEPA are likely to be sacrificed.

            -6.3. The crucial immediate task is to identify and examine assumptions (biases). This will avoid the two critical mistakes of repeating THEPA, and returning to normal^-5.3↑. The first can easily happen in the guise of countering THEPA, while the second is not possible and could recreate the conditions that fostered THEPA in the first place. Any actions taken and policies made about the biosphere without a deep understanding of the developing and changing biomes and anthromes^-2.2↑ will likely result in well intended, but nevertheless severe, unintended iatrogenic^-1.2↑ harm. To “fix” health and environment regulation and policy is not simply accomplished by cancelling the detrimental and reinstating the beneficial. If not done with care in an informed process, what is broken can be damaged further and more difficult to correct. When already faced with accelerating anthropogenic^-1.2↑ harm, adding to the cacophonic conflagration^5↑ with thoughtless policy and acts, is less likely to result in optimum outcomes for both the biosphere and societal perspectives. Even if implementation goes as well as possible (Quote), the result is not necessarily a favorable outcome for every species, [CGI].

            -6.4. Imagine that post THEPA healing is analogous to a combination of games and models, except that reality (which is a social construct^-3↑), is more complex, complicated and changing [Gif]: Rollback of regulations and law, often justified as making things easier, is like Pick up Sticks [Photo]. One cannot simply reinsert sticks, the pile has become less stable with each stick removal and replacement can cause a larger collapse. The bureaucratic functions of government have been changed more into being more of a Rube Goldberg machine [Diagram], like the one designed to put an egg back inside its cracked shell [Cartoon]. Former networks of relationships are analogous, – but not as strict an analogy as eating each other is undesirable exploitation – to food webs [Chart] that are missing important producers, consumers and decomposers [Photo, Cartoon]. Last there is the disruption of norms, a tangling of string theory [Art] into hopeless knots and unraveling threads [Cartoon]. The easiest solution would be to just throw the whole mess away, except that one should not do that with the living.

-7. THEPA has demonstrated again that thoughtless destruction that benefits a few is easier [Cartoon] to do than thoughtful reconstruction of the destruction that benefits all (Quote). In post THEPA there will be difficult decisions about what should be salvaged, repaired, discarded, what can be safely left to heal, and what tasks can be delayed until later. Unfortunately this may all be moot. THEPA may end, along with the anthroposphere, with the confluence of crashing biocalamities, or in combination with the penultimate form of anthropogenics^-6.3↑ – global and civil war. [Cartoon], exacerbating the gubergenics^-4↑ of viral polemic. Until it happens we will have no idea what the best outcome for post THEPA will be, though possibly developing a global one health approach [Diagram] that is a collaborative [Cartoon] biological relativism, will be the best case [Cartoon], a globally networked interdisciplinary body that can advise to inform decisions about the interaction of anthropospheres and biospheres. Most likely there will be a settle for with a continuation of antipode imagined and dominion.

+. If THEPA as a parademic were a biocalamity one would call this the acceleration before it overtips and dips into a lower steady state, or crashes into a full cascade. War is arguably anthropogenic that can have global impacts of health and environment.

If Trump Goes Down, He’s Taking Everyone With Him =2^$=. Trumped Again: on the Accelerating Anticipation of Disaster That Attaches to the Trump Presidency. It can be argued that if there is a hot civil war that it began long before THEPA, that undermining of health and environment regulation and laws began before and this is merely the hot phase.

            -7.1. The imaginary and dominion heuristics, along with the parademic methodologies, remain valid for the current trends of THEPA towards its own crash, and will likely be part of the means to gather and analyze the needed data to mitigate THEPA. After THEPA crashes circumstances will be so rapidly changing that there will be uncertainty during the transition, making imaginary and dominionism liminal^-5↑ and inapplicable. The models will need to be redefined for the emerging situations, perhaps even discarded. The first paper collapsed not because it was incorrect, but because it contraindicated its own publication. As the cascading collapse of THEPA accelerates, unless one has been previously engaged in the development of the parademic heuristics and confluence of related concepts, understanding will not come easily, much less being adaptable for application to solve problems that may no longer exist. The models are of little value predicting the when and how of the collapse. At this time the likely emergent solutions have not yet self organized, and will be incoherent and internally contradictory. The only forecast that has a high probability of matching actual events is that the longer THEPA endures and/or ends traumatically, the worse its aftermath will be, and the greater likelihood of physical violence. Human conflicts tend to cause massive harm to health and environment [Art], and will further distance the current specifics of Imaginary and Dominionism from the evolving circumstances.

+. Continuation of worry that post Trumpism violence could get worse from what it already is. Like other biodisasters and adverse parademic the longer THEPA is not mitigated and backlash to post THEPA actions and policies. This becomes even more volatile as former allies, cronies and beneficiaries, recognize their survival of post THEPA is jeopardized by association with THEPA. Why Our Response to Climate Change Needs to Be a Just and Careful Revolution That Limits Pushback.

            -7.2. THEPA is a gubergenic^-7↑ parademic, a part of the chain of human accelerations culminating in biocalamity^-5.2↑. THEPA is not the direct cause of biosphere calamity, but an aggravating one [Cartoon]. THEPA may not even be the final straw – which will probably not be identifiable except in hindsight. At this time THEPA can be documented to having caused direct harm to humans in its attempts to create its illusionary perfect world [Cartoon]. Furthermore THEPA has fostered the conditions that accelerate global biocalamity^-8↓, and moreover delayed and weakened the abilities to mitigate biocalamity, as well as the stability and depth to weather the deceleration and mass depopulations of multiple species (extinction) and global environmental change. Anyone who is absolutely certain about what to do after THEPA is absolutely wrong, because the initial circumstances will be liminal^-7.1↑. Caution is needed as there will be no easy fixes, the fixes may not be available yet, and indeed no action may be the best decision among the many draconian options.

+. It was anticipated that the THEPA Imaginary Dominionism model would no longer be valid in its aftermath. What was not anticipated was the prodrome of THEPAs collapse would be a terminal rally. The terminology used for THEPA remain as homonyms but these no longer have the same consistent meaning^-5↑.

-8. Good closure is a widely accepted characteristic of good writing^-1↑, as well as being a known psychological necessity (Quote). People need to feel they have a feeling that a story is complete and done. This includes feeling certainty, that there are no remaining questions, that there will be stability thereafter. Ignore satisfying and definitive^-5.5↑ closure, by not providing the sense that a item is complete and done, people feel affronted. When faced with a dissatisfying condition of uncertainty,  people will resort to the imaginary (albeit credible^-5↑) to create the illusion of predictability – a simple and well defined linear and binary organization to a single conclusion – thus myopic to risk and of their vulnerabilities. Good closure is not applicable to the conditions of pre disaster (events that harm humans), and the pre tipping points of accelerating biocalamities (events that harm all life) decelerating. The good closure that concluded the original paper was one of the cues^-1.3↑ that it lead to erroneous conclusions, which in turn would become wrong decisions (Quote). Writing a simple, clear and concise paper, for a chaotic topic that has none of those qualities, cannot be accurate. Likewise a paper that appears to be complete before the consequences emerge, is likely misleading and useless to anticipate what should not have been a surprise. It is not possible to say what will happen for events that are, by definition, ineffable as they have not happened yet. It is possible to say what has the potential to cause disaster, but not when, where or what. It is possible to say where a biocalamity^-7↑ occurs, but that is only because it occurs in the whole biosphere and its foundations in the geospheres, in other words all of Earth. Likewise one can say when a biocalamity occurs, but this is not a specific moment, but an era with vague beginnings and ends. If the current biocalamities synergize and accelerate into massive cascading deceleration those questions become irrelevant as they become part of the general crash.
