Question #26 – What can apithology do (and what is the future of applied apithology)?

The original answer to this question ran to several thousand words, so a more brief response is required. Mostly this was explaining applications at scale. There are benefits individually, to endeavours held personally, in transitions in society, and in definable potentials for humanity. As a generative discipline, the simple answer is: ‘It's too soon to tell.'

This question (asked well) does deserve a meaningful answer (in a form shorter than a book). Instead, let’s entertain the answer in three (discrete) domains – body, speech and mind.

The embodied effect of apithology – in terms of what it does in the physical world, is each enactment of apithology means the presence of a pathology doesn’t appear. Actually, that is inadequate as a description, because apithology is more than mere prevention. It enables the presence of an enabling presence. Not only does the pathology not appear, the apithological counterpart enables potentials that will otherwise not ever manifest or become apparent to us. That, is worth doing. The inquiry itself into the possibility is itself beneficial; just in its conceiving.

The conversational effect of apithology – in terms of what it does in the sociological world, is to change the conventions of our conversations. In apithology practice, dialogue (or just repetitive monologue) is replaced by apithologue, involving an inquiry into the edges beyond present language and knowing. As a generative discipline, the confines of language are expanded into new meaning. This is a skill to be cultivated. There is a distinctive comfort with ambiguity necessary. It makes repetition of the already stated unnecessary (and uninteresting). What it does is hold a novel category of conversations, differently.

The conceptual effect of apithology – in terms of what it enables in thought, is profound. Apithology has an active understanding of the topology of thought. Not the mere content of thinking, but the potentials for conception. These ‘spaces of the generative productive’ can be cultivated and nurtured, as one would the soil of a perennial garden. If you can conceive of a future where the only capacities for subsequent knowledge are the ones presently apparent to us, you can understand the significance of this alternative. This is not a change to our thinking, but in the potentiation of the domains of thought. Apithology considers this in vast scales, which are discerned as the capacities of a humanity. What apithology does, is change possibility.

There is an apithoria:

"When our present problems, are no longer past thinking dependent, the future itself opens to the resplendent."
