The Organizing Idea is the individual’s manual for thriving in the
current mass psychosis, and a weapon against the post-totalitarian system.
Simpson asserts that we live in a world that not only assumes, but attempts to
enforce the idea that there is nothing other than 'this', which leads to
societal dysfunction, rejection of personal responsibility, and a specific form
of totalitarianism. He examines contradiction at both the societal and
individual level to trace the current mass psychosis to its primary enabler. In
doing so, he exposes the contradictory values, actions, and beliefs inherent in
our systems, institutions, and norms.
“There is a sort of
schizophrenia in our world today where ‘anything is possible’ but at the same
time ‘nothing matters’ because all of ‘this’ came from nowhere, is not going
anywhere, exists for no reason, and we know this beyond a shadow of a doubt...”
This book takes the reader on a journey through “A sea of
contradictions”, explicates how we all came to be so contradictory, and
challenges the most sacred philosophical and scientific axioms that we have.
The journey includes a history of ‘this’ and ‘other than this’ and reflects on
historical moments of thriving when these two ideas were in balance, and
societal collapse when they were not. Ultimately, this book is a
phenomenological account of Projection and a theory about how all of ‘this’
works. This book is not for the faint of heart, as Simpson’s approach is
extremely combative and brutally insightful. However, for those who can endure
it, this is a journey that will not soon be forgotten. It empowers the
individual with a life philosophy that simply cannot be shut down.

About
the Author
Dr. Jason R.
Simpson began his writing career as an Information Systems Ph.D. student, where
he quickly picked up the ability to argue various philosophical and
psychological points positioned in the highest level intellectual
conversations. During that time, he was most noted for challenging widely held
theoretical axioms - something that continues in his writing to this day. Dr.
Simpson has won various international awards for his academic writing. However,
after feeling stagnant and trapped by the academic system, he decided to
separate from it and embark on a journey which would contain the (often
numinous) substance that, combined with his previous research, ultimately led
him to become a writer. Dr. Simpson's first work, "The Organizing
Idea", which examines various socio-psychological phenomena by focusing on
widely held views of 'this' and 'other than this', lays the philosophical
groundwork on which the rest of his work will follow for years to come.
