Linearism

As a predominantly holistic thinker, I have noticed the dominance of linear ideas and systems in western cultures.

I am creative and curious about how things work. I learned to adapt and thrive in the linear systems; but, I was never comfortable in them.

Retirement and moving to a different culture, has allowed me to explore.

I looked at western culture and systems in a holistic systems way. Virtually all western ideas and systems appeared to be linear, with all the limitations and problems of linear constructs. I wondered why this might be true and how and when it all began.

Gradually, I developed the concept that I call Linearism. I think of it as an ideology that promotes the primacy of linearity.
