If an orgasm were defined as that which provides self-awareness and positive feedback at the climax of a developmental event, then corporations attain orgasm. Evolution, however, rewards the more potent orgasm of the most evolved/evolving participants -- and the "Corporate Orgasm" of "Aikido Activism" is a coming "Corporate Orgasm" of massive evolutionary resonance. In the "Aikido Activism" model, "Noble Corporations" (blissful corporations?) throw off the misplaced sexual conservatism that together with broader moral authoritarianism aims to retain subversive control, and thereby to retain privelege -- but fails to maximize individual empowerment. In the "Aikido Activism" model, "Corporate Orgasm" is essentially "Individual Empowerment Capitalism" (but I like the more evocative terminology of, "Corporate Orgasm," -- can I credit you Jim in a footnote if I employ that terminology in an update to the essay?). The essay on "Aikido Activism" (now updated) is the first part of the new, more potent, "Corporate Orgasm" (the first part being self-awareness of what "Aikido Activism" can birth in progressive corporations and awareness of the anticipated transformations). The second part of the orgasm of "Aikido Activism" (the positive feedback part) is currently in a stage of initial, but heightening foreplay -- the excitement that I am hearing from others who believe that such a transformation in corporate purpose is possible (such as leading author/thinker Douglas Rushkoff, at www.rushkoff.com, who shares with me that Aikido Activism "is the obvious next step"), driven by the excitment that new substantial corporations birthed in the model of Aikido Activism can provide historically unmatched transformations in society and economics. Can I tempt others to engage in the current foreplay of "Aikido Activism" by having a look at the current version of the essay at http://tinyurl.com/2fupr (this version is without graphics and endnotes... to get the full copy, please request a copy from me via email)?
