Background to the Mission Statement and Principle.
There is no easy path to get my message across. Humans are excruciatingly superficial. Their thinking is very complex but it happens inside a terribly simplistic metaphysical reality. Technological Metaphysics utterly subjects (or frames) an open-ended proliferation of profound human objectivities. All human objectivity is framed by subjectivity.
It is obvious that the complexity of the thinking is NOT superficial, because humans are becoming increasingly "informed and educated." What makes civilized human thinking so painfully superficial and pointless, is the framework of reality in which the most profound complexity endlessly elaborates.
Instead of the framework of reality GAINING humanity certainty about what we are doing, and where the whole is going, we are exponentially LOSING such certainty.

It may not be enough to subject the terms of our faithfulness to the puny light of rational analysis or even the soft clay of metaphors, which suggest that we can so easily replace the chair of our inner committees or keep our barking dog in check. p. 269 In Over Our Heads - Robert Kegan.
... to say humans do not easily change the subjective framework of their logic (or their worldview) is an understatement. Kegan goes on to say on p. 270:
Such moves might feel not just wrong but heretical tempting fate, disturbing the universe.
This is the essence of this part of my claim - because minds are so hard to change, I agree with Robert Kegan that an incontestable framing metaphysics must be the backbone of all human meaning-making. To be subjective about something means we cannot objectify it - we are subject to it. It determines the way we make meaning, and in that way it is the invisible-to-ourselves basics or foundation of the way we think.

The Impasse of Any Human Attack on Metaphysical Mindlessness.
1. There seems to be no way to get this message through, especially to those who are highly educated and successful, because their stake in "reality" is the highest. You cannot speak the complex language in open criticism of the actual framework of reality, as subjectively determined by the underlying PROCESS, and not by human minds. You will be accused of playing the same game that you criticize. You're included as being on your own terms nothing but a hypocrite, with merely another opinion, without any special distinction or claim to fame.
2. But when you simplify the language you'd find that their reality fantastically shifts, thanks to the human-incomprehensible complexity of the game in which any and all argument can be hung in any way possible onto the endlessly mindless framework of subjective reality, however there has been wide or narrow consensus established by any means necessary. When you're out of line of this consensus, the argument may magically become not complex enough, or not "informed" enough. "Where's your evidence?" they typically ask, or "what is your alternative plan?"
3. Even if I am a genius, I cannot declare that I am a genius for seeing and exposing the delusionally superficial and fickle framework of reality. The culture of profusion of individual irrelevant opinion in support of the culture of nonsense opinion of aggregated consensus, reflexively and unceremoniously kicks such sincerity square in the teeth.
4. Neither can I trickle myself surreptitiously into the mindlessly contrived, antithetical mix of individual human opinion, dressed as a shaman or priest. Apart from it being completely ineffective, it would also be extremely dishonest.
All I can do is carefully think about this, to gradually find a better way of openly communicating the issue of humanity steadily self-destructing, and improve on my effort below.
What is this underlying PROCESS absolutely determining the framework of reality subjectively? What is this framework in which human objectivity is utterly subject to out-of-human-control subjectivity?

The Metaphysical Technology of Religion, Philosophy and Science.
Technology as a whole is not only material, it is also how humans think, in the framework of making reality. Our ultimate frameworks of meaning-making or of shaping reality is one of the meanings of the word, "metaphysics." Before Classic Greek meaning-making, through several millenia BC, both religious and scientific ways of human understanding were based on a realistic sense of existence as a changing and incomprehensible flux beyond mere distinguishable causality. Mysticism was pervasive, similar to the way minds of groups yet unspoilt by "civilization" still worked to some extent until the early 20th century.
The changing and incomprehensible flux beyond superficial, mere distinguishable causality, is "contingent and ineffable." We can know it in deep and intangible ways, but we cannot describe it, nor our deep experience of it, authentically in words, or mathematically, as if mapping ultimate reality.
Since the triumvirate of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, religion, philosophy and science, particularly in the West, have systematically evolved to become a single metaphysical technology; in maintenance of misinformed civilized ideation of finite causal certainty. To human minds, this technology is teleological metaphysics of certitude through learning human-interactive emotional participation to cognitively educate and train growing generations to whatever the environment becomes. The systematic dynamic of the metaphysical and material human action together, in consummate service to some unnameable entity behind the process, forms a transcendent first principle, and the metaphysical and the action are inseparably enmeshed in human groups, in the many names of the unnameable entity, through elaborate intrapersonal cognitive associations, in emotional interpersonal association with each other, framing all apparent objective human reason and logic completely subjectively.
To talk about the real nature of this entity is taboo. In refering to its actual form I have called it "The Drog." In the completely subjective acceptance of the authority of the traditionally unnameable entity behind the process, normalized humans suppress the evidence that such entity is evolving exponentially out from under all possible human comprehension. The unnameable entity to which humans subjectively submit, is not what is euphemistically called, "society," but it is a dynamically evolving technology, in its religious, scientific and experiential/material capacity, including its exponentially proliferating material manifestation ... as one cognitively integrated process.
Through this most fundamental metaphysical subjugation of human thinking, civilized humans think of themselves as moving "forward," but the moving is done in deliberate denial of glaring evidence that the consequences of human action is more contingent and unpredictable than ever, and that technology as a whole is hammering humanity ever deeper into technological singularity.
I would suggest that if we dismantle the transcendent principles of certitude of "reality" as evolved in the unitary technology that is western philosophy, religion and science and instead directly adopt the forming of close-knit emotional humans bonds between humans as principle, as FRAMEWORK OF REALITY, and ultimate manifestation of the experience of existence, our problem will be solved.
I am saying that it is ultimate to be nice to each other, but to be nice to each other on a platform hurtling into technological singularity, is pointless.
