Political Anarchology (2/2): From the Metamorphosis of Democracy to the Birth of Anarcocracy Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbehan Translated by ChatGPT  ✅  Anarcocracy as the Post-Democratic Stage Anarcocracy is not merely a political concept but an epistemic and ethical condition — a stage where politics transforms from an instrument of power into a field of self-awareness, cooperation, and collective self-organization.

The fundamental features of anarcocracy include: Dissolved and distributed power: Power is no longer concentrated in institutions or individuals but flows through a network of collective micro-actions and shared responsibilities. Collective self-awareness: Every member of society is not mer...

Political Anarchology (1/2): From the Metamorphosis of Democracy to the Birth of Anarcocracy ✍️ Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbehan Translated with the assistance of ChatGPT Abstract Modern democracy stands on the threshold of an epistemic transformation—an evolution emerging from the internal crises of the liberal order and the failure of representative institutions to realize justice and freedom.

  Health Anarchology and Authentic Being: (2/10) Human Dignity as a Generative Source of Questioning ✍️ Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbehan Translation and assistance with ChatGPT ✅ Introduction In continuation of the discussions on Health Anarchology, this article turns to one of the most essential features of the healthy human: the experience of dignity as a generative source of deep and continuous questioning. Human dignity is one of the fundamental wellsprings of authentic and free existence that shapes the entirety of human functioning. It is both a sign of psychological health and a central element in the process of psychic unification. The experience of dignity is not merely one virtue among others, but a productive force that cultivates the “why” within the human soul, elevating life from an instinctual and repetitive existence to a self-aware, questioning, and liberating mode of being.

  Health Anarchology and Authentic Being: (1/10) Cognitive Selfhood as “Thinking About Thinking” ✍️ Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbehan Translation and assistance with ChatGPT Introduction This brief article, within the framework of Health Anarchology, examines the concept of Cognitive Selfhood, one of whose broad dimensions is expressed as “thinking about thinking.” The main aim is to clarify and analyze how reflection on cognitive processes is not merely a cognitive skill, but rather a fundamental condition for psychological and social health. Authentic being—as a core attribute of the healthy human—is shaped by cognitive and epistemic functions that enable continuous critique of thought, liberation from biases and stereotypes, and the cultivation of a free and authentic way of life. In this short essay, I introduce and analyze five essential pillars of this process: (1) reflection on how one thinks, (2) awareness of biases, (3) courage to revise, (4) metacognition as rebellion, and ...
