Thanks.  It does not really give me a clue (my own inadequacies, of course).  
I'm wondering if there's a mystical homunculus underlying people's use of the 
word "ecological".  I plan to attend this:

Infusing Indigenous Wisdom
http://www.pulltogethernow.org/indexindex.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7

(I may not make it because there are 2 ... count them TWO! ... Oktoberfests 
competing for my attention this weekend ... Hm, drink malty beer and listen to 
Polka or drink coffee and listen to Native Americans describe how they think 
our modern mechanical thinking is inadequate?)

But the gists of all 3 things seem to be of the same theme ... a theme I care 
about.  Systems theory (and complex systems, and a slew of proximal 
constellations of woo) smacks of something like vitalism or perhaps 
panpsychism.  My own homunculi brawl with each other on at least a weekly 
basis, mainly The Mechanist vs. The Mystic, but other humunculi jump into the 
fray on a regular basis.  I'm particularly fond of Spinoza's excursions around 
modality.

Speaking of which, does anyone have access to a copy of this article they'd be 
willing to share:

Monists & Nazis: a question of scientific responsibility
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/wol1/doi/10.2307/3560820/abstract

I figure since we have some self-expressed monists, here, I might get lucky.

Glen, I know Nora Bateson, author of "Small Arcs of Larger Circles."  She
and I were both elected as Fellows of the Lindisfarne Association.  She's
Gregory Bateson's daughter--and that should give you a clue as to the depth
and breadth of her investigation into systems theory.  She also made a
wonderful documentary film about her father's work, "An Ecology of Mind",
worth a look if you can find it.

[FRIAM] Ecological Footprint Report

[rl]

Many of you may be familiar with the Ecological Footprint Network, and 
its work.

 They have just issued a new report and footprint atlas.   These provide some
needed context to our current economic crisis, which is not 'grounded' in a
whole-system ecological understanding.   We are in a state of 'overshoot', the
consequences of which must be addressed.   Wall St. woes are only a symptom.
