As a half-breed, Tunstall may feel some affinity with the Red Indians of yore, and this poster came my way via Nut, signed and for a fee, natch. It seems to have three dimensions in the deep canyons and the wide horizon (shades of 80s Celt-rockers Big Country.) This is Indian territory, hence American territory, which Tunstall's keen, birdlike mind has deciphered from the landscape.
Landscape is built for the body, in that hips rotate to pelvically articulate the walker or runner along the buffs, bow in hand. The human is the only animal that walks nomadically for days on end. At the end of the day joints stretch and crack.
The physical situation is the fundamental reality that imbues psychic well-being. The physical situation is composes of 4 dimensions and, see P220, none of those dimensions - including invariable time - are part of our illusory system of numbers and 'facts' (so favored by the head.)
We live in our heads in the phenomenological jar supplied by 'them'. They don't know their ass from their elbow (but know a lot of other things.) This is where it might pay to discuss just what is meant to by hierarchy in a society, in that any traditional society - like the body - has a hierarchy of organization.
I think there can be some confusion here. For example, I was watching the Republic serial from 1945, Jungle Queen. The story is set in the lead-up to the war when Nazi agents are attempting to install a puppet in the jungle judge presiding over a powerful confederation in North Africa, and hence control Africa on the southern front.
This revolves round the secret of the sacred sword, and set against the Nazis is the mystical Lothel, the white Jungle Queen, who advises the British and US and tribesmen. As a review said, Lothel's powers are so formidable that the story lacks suspense. One could say it's pretty condescending, but makes thecpoint that tribal hierarchy is belief-based.
On the contrary, the Nazi high-command is organisation based. Or you could say the Germans believed in organisation. So, tribes are quite hierarchical institutions, as was medieval Euripe, but that doesn't mean to say that both can't also be anarchic (with no central control.)
The body is very anarchic in that there is no central control. The CNS does certain things it is capable of doing, while the majority of functions are autonomic (breathing, heartbeat, sight, movement.)
If you take the act of speed-walking, the arm goes down as the leg goes up, there is an antagonistic rhythm that is automatic. No thought is involved, the body is acting on instinct.
An antagonistic system can never be centrally controlled. The German war-machine worked on the opposite principle that the high-command would have all the facts at their fingertips and be able to direct action. This seems pretty much a German failing.
The British and Americans may have hierarchical organisation, but it is a flexible hierarchy relying on initiative. Not only that, but the banter between the two Americans keeps a light tone and the spirits up (psyche.)
The German tendency is to suppress the psyche for the sake of organisation (I mean, in war.) But the psyche is simply the expression of a physical situation where hierarchy exists - a flexible hierarchy - and is needed for calmness, judgement.
Thr German failing is to not really exist in the physical moment, at least in war. The physical situation is a flexible hierarchy, since everything physical has to be flexible (Bruce Lee.) The throat could choke and needs to be able to flex snake-like to recoil and fix the problem (or you're dead.)
Sexual attraction is also highly antagonistic; breeding means survival. Life in the raw needs must be anarchic; governments may impose laws, but organisation itself can't run things. It has to be by a hierarchy that is innately flexible.
By surveying her surroundings, birdlike, Tunstall is seeing thr physical situation that eludes the Washington heads in their phenomenological jar (imported from Mars.) Tunstall's America is the real America because it is physical to the touch, the same as Buffy's. From this, the psyche is imbued, songs develop, societies flourish
So I think Americans have to realise hierarchy is not just British royals. It is a flexible physical situation of instinctive living of the body that acts on initiative inside the commune (the higher level development.)
There is a degree of anarchy involved, and this frees the psyche (from central control, propaganda.) The brain is a psyche and not simply CNS. Listen to KT and learn, friends.
