5b) The Postmodern Mental Operating System, PmMOS
The PmMOS is a reduction by 75% of the full 144 BPOCpwme-life-fulfilling dimensions; it does no longer introduce an ideal plane such as many novels attempt to do, but a dangerously simplifying one: Postmodernism ignores the past in favor of the simpler presence (hedonism) and the man-made, future (share holder value) which is virtually attributed with the "self-fulfilling" power of evolution. Consequently, any innate causes and sustainable relationships are dropped in favour of materialism, free enterprise and a globalizing market. This leaves us with the 36 dimensions of 1,5,7,8 Cm-freedom of opinion within the Ce-trend, the Bw-political correctness in the ongoing Bp-change, the Pm-globalization, the Ow-innovation, the Oe-established positions and the Om-productivity, within the established Be-paradigm. The core of post-modernism is 8Cm-Ce-Bw-Bp, personal subjectivity, which is based on immediate necessity (8) to satisfy one's greed with Cm in order to profit from the Ce-trend with Bw-political correctness in order to survive the unavoidable Bp-change:

| PM | I, the author can resort to my self-determinedness (S) to prepare the necessary (8) boundary conditions (Bp) that allow me to stand for (5) my value (w) to care for the objects/objectives that need to be worked out (Ow), such as carefully outlining the mental space between somebody like Slobodan Milosevic and Bill Clinton. My wife, Diane seeks subjective freedom from her painful intuition (A) about the boundaries imposed by the events, and without access to the core of the problem, she tries to work out her concepts (V) about the objectives that should be worked (Ow) out instead. That requires a way that has a chance to be convincing (7), and that suggests political correctness without rocking the boat, e.g. the prevailing PmMOS... |
| SM | Milosevic has no way to resort to the reduced post-normality, the basic way to deal with necessities in terms of immediate (8) matters and energies, such as material needs that cry to heaven (Cm), newly emerging conditions (Bp) and their clarification (Bw) and the resulting new convention (Ce). Thus any personal appeal to him ends up in this void of his personality. On the other hand, he strives for freedom both with a little (minimal excuse to get order into the chaos for which he is responsible and not NATO...) or a high degree of conscience (attempt to get the Maximum in his living space even at the price of a confusion of his vitality). |
| BC | Clinton on the other hand, can resort to the necessary (8) clarification to work out the minimal boundary conditions (Bw) for co-existence. Within that degree of personal manoeuverability he aims for the soLution to the problem of how to establish objects/objectives (Oe), be it precision bombing in the enemy territory to demonstrate his determination, or regulating the selling of fire- arms within his own country. That is the basis upon which he aims for a consciously chosen freedom (5Be-c) to set the boundary conditions (Oe) that allow him to get his self-justification (S) across (7). In that sense the rather virtual impeachment process prepared him for the very real conflict with Milosevic - the trap door to the next millenium.... |
Based on having to transcend the closed system of postmodernism with Timely Exchange of Project-Orientated Competence, TEPOC© to prevent its inherent self-destructiveness when it collapses to its 8CmeBwe core, Clinton has to find a way to set himself above Milosevic's ambivalent striving for subjective freedom. In fact clinton's administration democratically clarified the procedure within NATO to reduce Milosevic's power base, while the Russians are trying the impossible, to find a consensus within the postmodern system, while they are impotent to transcend it themselves. In that sense the Kosovo scenario is a model case about how to deal with post-normality, hopefully before it collapses: Only if those who have the will and the resources to transcend the postmodern pre-trans trap and open up the full life-fulfilling potential, will those people stuck in it be able to let go. The German Foreign Minister Fischer got to the point when he said: People in the Balkans will not drop their knives unless they are offered a perspective:
In fact they tried multiculturalism and it failed shamefully in Bosnia and now Milosevic has tried post-modernism and it has led to genocide and collective suicide. At the same time "our" intellectuals remain speechless in face of the atrocities commited as part of the implementation of their philosophies in real life. Similarly C.G. Jung remained speechless over the Nazi atrocities after he had participated in committees that discussed the "ethical" considerations of the extermination of "unworthy" lives, e.g. those who did not want to, or could not go along with the collective archetypes at the time...
In short, those who can personally relate to the core of human culture, such as Bill Clinton and I, have a special responsibility to transcend closed systems with Timely Exchange of Project-Orientated Competence, TEPOC© in view of those, like Slobodan Milosevic, who can only amplify the stupidity of closed systems by saturating them with their personal power! In WW I+II humanity had to learn the hard way and at the end of this barbarous century we are put to the test, whether we are ready for the next step or whether we shall have to endure an "evolutionary" re-run...
A girl was asked by the Littleton gunman if she believed in God (who in the past created the order we have to live in). "There is a God" she said quietly "and you need to follow along God's path." He looked down at her and before he shot her in the head said: "There is no God." The fact is the above described post-normal reductionism can turn boys into poison that rot from inside. We have known that throughout history but the intellectuals of all ages went on with their only politically correct simplifications by which we can blame parents, savage music, the ease of acquiring dead-end technology and the chemistry of cruelty, cliques and mobbing among human with postnormally simplified minds. For those boys re-enacting WW II was simply a cool way to stay alive by being different and crazy to get attention; no big deal in a society with an "anything goes" mentality in which you cannot expect to find less lies, rumors and intrigues in school yards than in Washington as we can share it worldwide on CNN, more and more online! From there kids learn that who are the best as spreading rumors and lies end up jocks and cheerleaders. In the old days criminals had to kill small animals and participate in orgies, today there is ample virtual reality to shrink your conscience.
The beauty of Applied Personal Science APS® is that it is a conceptual scheme, like mathematics in terms of objects, that can be used in such a way, that it always points to the same human system and highlights it in different dimensions coherently. This is unlike normal language which is a mixture of more or less defined collective denotational conventions, personal connotations and virtual realitites such as imaginations, hidden agendas and lies. By using a different ordering scheme the above table is transformed into the following one:

| SUGGESTION | NECESSITY | |||||
Psychologically speaking the above table reveals that in his post-modern mind-set Milosevic has no faculties to relate to necessities; in the end he has to be forced unless one lets him get away with being a cunningly suggestive dictator who can play it cool, even be supportive (when he shake hands) to lure his opponents in and then be very convincing in destroying them, when the time has come for him to "harmonize" (c) confusion (v) by cleansing his living space (h) of whatever stops him excusing (u) himself for maximizing (M) his position, by minimizing (m) that of others. And he does that in order to be able to remain in his non-committal, post-modern mindset, misusing tradition (ethnicity, religion, nationalism) as a means to this end of twisting facts to his liking in order to make virtual reality dominate the truthful perception of reality. Of course this inhibits understanding of the underlying laws which cannot be manipulated with black art; and that is why people, who have eyes to see and ears to hear tend to be outsourced and eventually extinguished by such misled monsters in order to save their easy- going post-normal mind set! The threat to life-fulfilment is of course a temptation for those concerned to wage a preventive strike against them, which makes inhuman philosophies win in a vicious circle! However, with Applied Personal Science APS® people's minds can be redesigned to go beyond post-modernism and adequately encompass tradition, as well as modernism and hedonism. This integrating synthesis is the only lifefulfilling alternative to evil Social Darwinism. Consider this: Brain washing, e.g. redundancy reduction and properly lifefulfilling categories and meaning giving, is preferable to brain spilling and any presumed third way is a purely virtual speeding up of the transition from such thinking catastrophes towards life-threatening symptoms that provoke irreversible actions! A spilled brain cannot be put together again and it is pretty hard to prevent a fragmented and fragmenting (divide in order to rule) software from spilling lives, let alone making life-fulfilling use of it. However, a clean one can be polluted again if you please! But of course a post-modern mind is more afraid of reframing itself than of the real threats to life-fulfillment and that key problem has to be lead to a proper solution; any post-normal procrastination leads to more paradigmatic outsourcing and ethnic cleansing, murders, suicides, drug misuse, environmental pollution, bombs and genocide in short, inhibition of life-fulfillment...
Just become aware of Milosevic's procrastination in giving in to what he must have known all the time, and recognize the real cost in lives, spending for bombing, degrading the region's economy etc. that meant per day, just because of one post-normally affected mind and that even after our experience with Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Idi Amin, Pol Pot and all the economic imperativs stressing people etc. Thus we spend more on adapting to what is sick than allowing what is alive, to fulfill its essence! That fact simply means that there is something deeply wrong with the prevailing mental operating system and only Applied Personal Science APS® of all the sciences so far allows us to get specific about this in terms of conceptualizing its healing! Any complementary and even transcending suggestions are more than welcome; they are in fact necessary for the survival of humanity!
