Have you read The Dispossessed? LeGuin's fictional anarchist society uses a language without possessive pronouns: the best examples I'm coming up with right now is that it's dedicated "To the partner" and a small child offering the protagonist, "You can use the handkerchief that I use" as opposed to "You can use my handkerchief".
Also, your most recent posts have reminded me of your monkey_duality project, but whatever. I'm glad to read and discuss these thoughts in whatever forum they appear.
With regards to the former, no, but that's awesome. Perhaps will read it soon.
With regards to the latter, well, in a sense, yes. The monkey duality stuff was specifically philosophical and emotional with regards to a lot of what seemed to be opposites. Duals of each other. I have since gained significant tools to address such polarities, specifically through a philosophical structure called Creative Systems Theory. While I still find the things I wanted to address in that journal interesting, most of them have the same sorts of answer. I'll probably talk more about that at some point. It is good stuff.

I always say "my" means "that which corresponds to me". But at that point, we've left real philosophizing and degenerated into mere wordplay.

This is my every day pattern.
