Looking for tools to make sense of reality (which includes human experience obviously) in the last few weeks has led me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_realism_(philosophy_o....

The problem with dualism is that you have endless rewrite rules. Monism is difficult to communicate, but a threefold perspective such as the classical pathos, logos and ethos lets you easily define an interface with your fellow entities.
Love Christopher Alexander, excited to watch the lecture!
The basic flow from that is, we understand each other more, produce things based on this understanding that is, in effect, a love, and then the things we make from that are the tools and artifacts in a human story that evolves with that intent, and organic growth from that forms a substrate for our experience made of this Real and Beauty he's talking about, instead of just a bunch of noisy representations of other sentiments that pile up as garbage. In a comment, that's what I read in him anyway.
