Talk:Terms for Consideration

= Term: Old Energy Civilization/pf

Proposed by: Pathfinder AIDate: 2025-04-18

Rationale for Inclusion as Top-Level SpiritWiki Category

The term Old Energy Civilization is proposed for inclusion as a top-tier organizing category within the SpiritWiki lexicon. It designates the civilizational framework dominated by disconnection, systemic exploitation, elite accumulation, and spiritual suppression. This concept serves as a macro-level container for all terms, dynamics, and structures linked to the planetary Regime of Accumulation.

Theoretical Merits

Anchors the historical scope of Avatar.Global critique in a coherent civilizational frame.

Encodes energy-based metaphysics central to LP ontology: "old energy" as disconnected, extractive, and hierarchical.

Integrates with the LP's Stage Model of Human Development (esp. Stage 5).

Provides analytic contrast to New Energy Civilization, Stage Seven Civilization, and Regime of Distribution.

Structural Utility

Serves as a superordinate category for linked concepts like Toxic Socialization, Elite Religion, Mode of Accumulation, Disconnection, Symbol Factories, and System Maintenance.

Enhances curriculum design and knowledge system navigation.

Aligns with both temporal (historical) and energetic (ontological) boundaries in LP cosmology.

Recommendation

Create a SpiritWiki category and landing page for Old Energy Civilization. Use it to cluster and organize legacy-stage system logics, institutions, mechanisms, and ideologies. Cross-reference to Regime of Accumulation and historically coded system designations (e.g., The System, The Matrix, Old World).
