	Malcolm Hollick's Post \| Shift In Action
		Our culture seems to me to be focused so strongly on aggressive, competitive, either/or qualities (which are usually considered to be more the qualities of a young masculine sensibility), instead of the qualities of cooperation, community, partnership, and sustainability (which are considered to be more feminine qualities).
		If the dominant culture favors these immature male qualities over all others, it is easy to see why greed, hunger for power and more power, money and more money, are guiding the choices we are making as a society.
		A factor of note in the transition to Dominator culture is the rise of ethanol as preferred sacramental intoxicant.

		Domination is the "old vision," and as Quinn points out, the world "will not be saved by people with the old vision."

		In fact, although it is certainly true that dominator culture has done a very good job of discrediting, repressing, and in many cases even destroying the old ways, I believe that many traces remain, traces upon which intelligent, thoughtful people have rebuilt a functioning tradition.
		Indeed, the dominator culture is even today expending a great deal of energy repressing the practice of the old ways among whites, something we would not expect to see if these ways were simply fanciful dabbling in imagined or stolen traditions.
		I acknowledge the damage the dominator culture has done, and I take responsibility for working to make it right, for myself by reclaiming and reweaving the old ways of my ancestors, and for you by honoring and supporting your struggle for justice and respecting you as my equal.

	bit-tech.net \| Corsair Dominator Twin2X2048-8888C4DF - Introduction
		At the end of August, Corsair announced its Dominator line of memory modules with a new breed of heatspreader design that had the potential to breathe a new interest in to performance memory products.
		In fact, Corsair's Dominator 'heatsink' is so far from a standard heatspreader that it shares more properties with a traditional heatsink than it does with the memory heatspreaders that you're no doubt familiar with.
		The Dominator modules themselves are much taller than your standard memory module - they're a massive 52mm tall, compared to a standard module that is typically no more than about 31-32mm in height.

	11. Lessons From History
		Prior to this, we are told, human culture, such as it was, consisted of stone-age barbarism and savagery, and is of little interest or relevance to the "high civilizations" that have emerged since that distant age.
		The gylanic culture on the Mediterranean island of Crete [see chart], which being characterized by written language, survived by definition into historical, literate times, cannot be described in any other terms than as being "fully civilized" – again, in the non-pejorative sense of being a large and complex social system.
		After the conquest of the partnership cultures by the dominator cultures was complete, the wheels of "progress" began turning once again, and what are generally recognized today as the "first civilizations" began their march toward an entirely different destiny than the one toward which their gylanic predecessors had been aimed.

		So wrapped up in the dominator reality, we often look up to these, so called, leaders, admiring them, aspiring to be like them, without ever questioning the ethical implications of a society that allows so few to accumulate and control most the world’s resources.
		In spite of this evidence, the dominator culture has made these compounds, most of which are physically harmless in their natural state, illegal, while it continues to promote the use of mind control drugs upon the mass population.

	Riane Eisler on "The Power of Partnership" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		She emphasizes that a shift from the domination to the partnership model as the primary guide for structuring our beliefs, institutions, and relations, is extremely urgent.
		She points out that partnership and domination are "two extremes of a continuum" and emphasizes that it's always a matter of degree.
		But people continue to engage in thinking and action related to the domination model because of the cultural beliefs and institutions that support it, she says, among them the family, the workplace, economic and political systems.

	McKenna's theory, in his own words
		This behavioral style of male dominance was chemically interrupted by psilocybin in the diet, so it allowed the style of social organization called partnership to emerge, and that that occured during the period when language, altruism, planning, moral values, esthetics, music and so forth -- everything associated with humanness -- emerged during that period.
		So, this is what the historic dilemma is: we have all these qualities that were evolved during the suppression of male dominance that are now somewhat at loggerheads with the tendency of society in a situation of re-established male dominance.
		This means that culturally we are living out some kind of schizophrenic delusion, because we live our lives totally ignorant of these possibilities, or perhaps only glimpsing them at the edge of anesthesia, or something like that, unless, of course, we have the courage to be counter-cultural heads.

		Perhaps the most formidable barrier to negotiating this transition is the ability of dominator cultures and institutions to create a self-fulfilling prophecy by creating what each individual experiences as a dog eat dog reality of violent competition that offers only two choices -- be a big winner or risk being an even bigger loser.
		A culturally awakened consciousness is relatively immune to the distorted cultural conditioning promoted by corporate media, advertising, and political demagogues.
		Where dominator values of greed, competitive self-interest, and short-term advantage are primary, emergence will tend to reproduce dominator cultures and institutions.

		This is the first reason that I see why most babies are born in hospitals under the veil of drugs: our dominator culture systematically disempowers the uniquely female expressions of power.
		It is frightening to claim female power in the face of the patristic ruling class, or dominator culture – our preferred term so that we might liberate the role of "father" from being related to all the horrible consequences of domination.

		There are separate pages about "The Culture" in the novels of Iain M. Banks and about the sociological term "Cultural Creatives".
		Another one is about the Jamaican reggae group; see Culture (band).
		18th and early 19th century scholars, and many people today, often identified culture with "civilization" and opposed both to "nature." Thus, people lacking elements of "high culture" were often considered to be more "natural," and elements of high culture were often criticized, or defended, for repressing human nature.

	Dominator Culture
		There is a degree of instinct for domination genetically built into humans and other primates, particularly the males, but in dominator cultures, the environmental influence toward domination far exceeds the genetic influence.
		Almost all of humanity was converted to the Dominator Culture only by external infection, from a few original foci of emotionally ill groups of people that spread their ideas and emotions by war and conquest.
		So, Dominator Culture is now in control because the original Partnership meme complex, which evolved all over the world, was supplanted (and often destroyed by force, along with its hosts) by the Dominator meme complex (virus), which arose in only a few places, but was very infectious (evangelistic).
