4   ‘And It Came to Pass’’ (Not to Stay)

1No further time
to ask ‘‘War or Peace?’’

2 Planetary revolution is here:

3 But there are options—

4 A hot-headedly conducted, Bloody revolution—Everyone loses;

5 A cool-headedly conducted,

6 Design science computer-accommodated Wealth-accounting revolution—All humanity wins.

7 AMONGST THE AMERICAN INDIANS, it was the nations, not the chiefs or individuals, who controlled the land.

8 The Indians assumed that they had

9 only the hunting, fishing, cultivation and dwelling rights.

10 All the land, water and sky

11 belonged exclusively to The Great Spirit.

12 And the same concept was held

13 By Africans, Eskimos, and Austronesians.

14 But it was long ago conceded

15 in Europe and Asia

16 that whoever owned the productive land controlled the wealth.

17 In Europe and Asia

18 the many individual warlords controlling the lands were the owners of all wealth.

19 They were the‘‘wealthy.’’

20 * * *

21 How did these disparities of viewpoints and controls occur?

22 * * *

23 Many direct questionings of audiences

24 Of more than a thousand each

25 Have disclosed that no matter what

26 Humans think wealth may be

27 All of the humans questioned felt

28 That no matter how much wealth they might have They could not alter one iota of yesterday.

29 All agreed that whatever wealth may be It can be articulated Only now and henceforth.

30 Wealth is irreversible.

31 The case of the billionaire on a sinking ship

32 Who offers to pay a million dollars

33 For the life preserver

34 Buoyantly supporting the one and only life belted individual

35 Floating safely away from the disaster

36 Which offer the lucky one rejects

37 Even though finally bid for at the tycoon’s limit

38 Of a billion dollars‘‘cash money’’

39 Proves that money is not wealth

40 For it cannot buy any‘‘henceforth’’

41 Days of life.

42 Under omnirealistic conditions

43 When bluffing and credit are of no avail

44 Money can be articulated

45 Neither backwardly, forwardly, nor now.

46 True wealth is the already accomplished

47 Organization of physical environment resources

48 By human capabilities

49 To clothe, shelter, feed,

50 Protect, inform

51 And accommodate the initiatives,

52 And transport requirements

53 Of human lives.

54 The magnitude of true wealth consists

55 Of the number of forward days

56 Of the number of human beings

57 Assuredly provided for

58 By at hand artifacts and consumables.

59 Including both physical and metaphysical considerations True wealth consists of: (A) Energy, (B) Know-How.

60 A. Energy (as intertransformable radiation and matter): Physics concedes that all the physical evidence discloses an eternally regenerative Scenario Universe in which no energy is created and no energy is lost.

61 Being cosmically inexhaustible, the energy content of wealth is constant.

62 B. Knoio-hoio Which can only increase. All experience always teaches. We always learn more. The more we learn anew, the more words we need to communicate that of which we have newly learned. The number of words in the dictionary always increases.

63 The Know-how part of wealth always increases.

64 The Energy part is constant——and cannot decrease.

65 Therefore, wealth always increases and all the wealth increase always comes from increased, experience-born Know-how. But arbitrary accounting systems have shunted the inexorable-wealth growth, known as profit, almost exclusively into the earning account of the owners of the physical equipment, premises and raw materials. Their ‘‘balance’’ sheets show only the physical assets, despite the fact that it is only the metaphysical Know-how which produces the wealth.

66 As a consequence, the present accounting systems fail to disclose the true state of terrestrial humanity’s wealth

67 which is now adequate to support all humanity and all generations to come at a higher standard of living than any humans have ever experienced or dreamed about.

68 This is what

69 only the computer accounting revolution can clarify for all humanity.

70 It is the misinformation

71 emanating from the present inadequate accounting which may well spark

72 the hot-headed bloody revolution.

73 TRANS-MEANINGS OF WEALTH

74 Throughout the history of civilizations people leaders have assumed the a priori existence

75 of a fundamental physiological inadequacy of human life support resources,

76 which assumed lethal terrestrial inadequacy, in turn, has given rise

77 to all major political partisanships

78 and their respective theories

79 for resolving which econo-political systems, and which individuals within those systems, may be fittest to survive.

80 Because the cause of this problem seemingly lay beyond the bounds of human control, it was merciless, mercy being an exclusively human grace.

81 But the vast majority of people themselves remote from and mostly unaware of one another, were almost entirely illiterate

82 and quite unaware of their leaders’ assumed planetary inadequacy of life support.

83 Throughout all past history, people assumed a sometimes benign, sometimes displeased divine wisdom to be cosmically operative.

84 Amongst the less than 1 percent of humans who had acquired fortunes, those advantaged by the most secret technical, economic, and political intelligence had exclusive knowledge of‘‘the inadequacy,’’ and commanded their affairs in such a way as most probably to sustain their good fortune by anticipating and exploiting scarcities, and devoutly proclaimed that‘‘God helps those who help themselves,’’ the evidence for which as manifest by their own example seemed undeniable, ergo, also seemed to fully vindicate human selfishness,‘‘certainly’’ as modestly exercised in looking out only for one’s own dependents.

85 As, for instance, in a high seas disaster does each father fight to get his wife and children, but seldom himself, into one of the inadequate number of the ship’s undamaged lifeboats.

86 However, some fathers split-secondly reason that without their own continuing presence their families will perish even though safely reaching land, and therefore also split-secondly rationalize it to be God-given wisdom that only whole family units should either be saved or perish together, ergo, this swiftly rationalizing father assumes a cosmic obligation to save himself to save his family.

87 All the while many a powerful unmarried male need only his swiftly remembered‘‘God helps those etcetera’’ to bid him be first to enter the lifeboat.

88 From secret time to secret time in superficially peaceful times the partisan leader or family head operating politely, but enlightenedly must make a move which deprives others of any further chance of being included amongst the successfully living.

89 In‘‘civilized’’ society these others-depriving successfuls execute their too-swift-for-the-eye, rapier-like touches behind a facade of concerned neighborliness. Often touche is backhandedly executed Simply by failure to disclose relevant information While those they doom

90 Have no way to know they have been doomed Until months, or even years, later.

91 Realistically speaking, no one has a God-signed deed to ownership of anything let alone a cosmically valid deed to a surveyed plot of land—all the ground below and the sky above it as purchased through the‘‘real’’ estate agency, and thereby a‘‘legally’’ acquired title to a rectangular-sectioned core of planet Earth running vertically inward of one’s plot and emerging in the other hemisphere as one’s antipodal acre of land in China, as well as one’s ownership of the core of sky reaching outward vertically through heaven to eternity through which cosmically-aimed core stars and asteroids from time to time trespassingly travel.

92 What eventually constituted such‘‘legalized’’ ownership of land probably began millions of years ago when one male human by chance of birth grew to be much larger than others, whose size proved of physical advantage amongst hunting, fishing, fruit-, nut-, and root-picking people particularly in tribal survival warring when the big one said,‘‘that’s mine’’—that was that.

93 Multi-millennia later after the lethal demonstration of the greater range of hitting power of sling-armed little David over the bludgeon-clutching giant, Goliath, the power structure advantage began to shift from short-armed bulk to distance-armed cunning—to more with less.

94 But‘‘legally’’ documented ownership of land came only after nomadic berry pickers and hunters, finding special localities in which grew the vegetation, fruits, fowl, and animals most favorable to their life support, settled and began domesticating hybrids of such biological growths which prospered exclusively within those special geographical environments.

95 But the concept of legal‘‘ownership’’ probably originated in an epidemic of episodes known today as strong-arm racketeering which offers‘‘acceptance’’ of ‘‘protection’’ or else.

96 Coerced‘‘protection’’ began millennia ago when a horse-mounted swordsman rode up to an unarmed shepherd tending his flock of sheep in the wilderness and said, ‘‘that’s too valuable a flock of sheep to be wandering around out here unprotected by arms in this dangerous country.’’

97 After the shepherd’s laughing denial of danger there came a few nocturnal‘‘or else’s’’—many sheep killed or lost—whereafter geographically-identified protection areas were grudgingly accepted by the producers of the real life support wealth.

98 This exercise of lethal power advantage of the armed over the unarmed—of the scheming non-wealth-producers over the innocently preoccupied life support producers—led to swift overlord claimages of all the known productively habitable lands of Asia, Europe, and the Mediterranean world.

99 Interminable re-takeovers by the successively stronger lead, by ever more powerful ‘‘mergers and acquisitions,’’ to vast sovereign conglomerates to EMPIRE!

100 Thereafter major shares in these,‘‘or else-ings’’ accomplished, sovereign realm acquisitions were deeded by the Empire’s Emperor to his prime henchmen who indeed and by-deed had shared in the accomplishment of Empire, the deeds being to vast‘‘Entitled’’ areas as Principalities, Dukedoms, and Baronies.

101 Thereafter these deed-entitled landlords for further values received gradually deeded forth to others ownership of small fractions of their now socially and financially honored property titles.

102 Historically, those who have‘‘owned’’ the land have had the best chances of survival: as provided to the‘‘protector’’ by his tenant farmers, herders, huntsmen, serfs, peons, peasants, slaves, etc.

103 Ownership of the means of production identified exclusively as being the land throughout the long agrarian millennia has always been accounted as the prime ingredient of classical economics’‘‘wealth’’; land wealth became identified as capital wealth, which, as entered onto the ledgers, gradually included the factory buildings, and later their fastened-down tools, their plumbing, wiring, and other fixtures; legally constituted capital assets were exclusively physical.

104 As iron from Minnesota, manganese from Russia, and tin from Malaysia were transported, processed and combinedly formed into surface-coated thin sheet metal, non-rusting cans within which food could be hermetically sealed, long-lastingly stored and safely shipped to anywhere around the world and a myriad of other only metallurgically realizable analogous technological events transpired—including the production and proliferation of farm-working machinery, motorized transport and around-the-world split-second electromagnetic communications networks. The 90 percent of humanity that had theretofore worked the farms in the pre-preservation-of-foods era and had to live on or near them in order to be nourished by the farm produce ere it or they perish were suddenly no longer needed on the farms and no longer needed to live there to survive. They migrated to the cities looking for jobs.

105 This whole development concurrently witnessed the world-around discovery of mining lands. This was not only a new kind of capital land wealth, but a recapitulation of the meaning of wealth for these mining lands usually existed elsewhere around planet Earth than under the farmlands.

106 Mines were usually located in geographically remote‘‘colonial’’ areas with the ownership of these wilderness mining lands being claimed by the European land lords who employed the ‘‘credit’’ of their wealth to finance the building of the ships, the voyages of discovery, the engineer-scientist skills for working the mines and the navies to protect their high seas‘‘lines of supply.’’ Thus began a new era of capitalism, that of a world metals cartelism masterminded by and rigorously ruled by private international bankers who extended the credits to the landowners. This was called finance capitalism.

107 Then, all unexpectedly, science penetrated the micro- and macro-ranges of Physical Universe within whose 99.999 percent invisible reality the atomics of metallurgy became so comprehended that all the metals became both recoverable and recirculatable; old buildings, machinery, obsolete armaments and ships became the new‘‘high-grade’’ mines.

108 The total overall tonnage of old machinery, buildings, and ships became comprehensively replaced by more effective and efficient equipment, in overall twenty-two year regeneration cycles within which the recirculating metals are progressively alloyed, formed, and complexedly assembled in such a manner as to most effectively realize the enormous interim gains in scientific and technical‘‘know-how’’—to produce ever higher functional performance capabilities with ever less investment of energy as matter, time, and work per function, while always providing ever more humans with ever more and ever higher standards of sustenance and services.

109 The divorce of the metals from mine land ownership control produced two new world wealth controlling groups

(A)

that of the U.S.S.R. and Chinese Communist party controls of their successive five-year plan industrializations and

(B)

that of the self-perpetuating

110 free enterprise, supranational corporation managements, the latter omni-controlled by a supranational know-how-importing-exporting banking fraternity.

111 Within only this last hundred years of the astronomically recognized ten-billion-year history of planet Earth which is to say within only one one hundred millionth ot all known time of Scenario Universe’s continuity episodes, the human conditions on planet Earth have been so altered that as we write in January 1976, 52 percent—the majority—of all humanity is now experiencing a higher standard of living than ever had been experienced, or even dreamed of even by the most powerful royalty, the richest commoners and the most privileged of humans anywhere around Earth before 1900 a.d.; a standard of living in which the longevity of those two billion advanced way-of-living people has been approximately doubled, with nine-tenths of history’s diseases conquered, and their annual miles of normal to-and-froing increased 50-fold; a century within which the time of bodily travel between the remotest from one another peoples on Earth has been reduced from 180 days to one quarter of a day;

112 World’s people have changed from 90 percent illiterate to 90 percent literate;

113 and most importantly of all,

114 a century within which all of humanity

115 has become intimately and constantly aware of all one another’s presence around our planet.

116 Utterly contradicting the validity

117 of the negative all-history-affecting assumption

118 of an absolute inadequacy

119 of terrestrial life support, it has become experientially demonstrated that entirely unexpectedly to all history’s working assumptions and predictions, a new chapter in that history has suddenly opened, which is led by

120 (A) the enormous know-how acceleration in doing ever more with ever less ■ which can elevate all humanity to a higher standard of living than any have as yet experienced

121 and do so exclusively through inanimate artifacts which do not oppose, but altogether eliminate undesirable customs and functions

122 by rendering them obsolete—

123 for instance, it long has been recognized that‘‘you cannot take it with you—(your possessions) into the next world’’; but now we realize that

124 ‘‘you also cannot take it with you—(your possessions) around the world.’’ The omni-world-involved progeny of today’s land (and other immobile property) owners

125 do not wish to inherit

126 that which impedes their travel wherefore ownership has become progressively onerous. The ages-long desirability of property ownership has been made obsolete

127 through the implementation of around-the-world living.

128 This historic termination

129 of the socioeconomic advantages of immobile property did not occur as a consequence of a trial-by-arms

130 dispossessment
as in all past revolutions.

131 Now all the landowning syndicates banks and corporations

132 are trying to unload their real estate properties onto individuals through coerced cooperative and condominium schemes.

133 The‘‘ wise money’’ is switching its investments into supranational automated know-how, service industries.

134 With the peoples of the world’s one hundred and fifty sovereign nations utterly unaware of such trending the world’s major socialist party managements and the supranational banks’ managements who manage the supranational corporations’ integrated regenerative systems are finding it progressively expedient to integrate their operations.

135 Each is discovering the others’ strengths and weaknesses discovering what may be socialized and what can only be enterprised.

136 No matter what systematic methodology world governance may evolve, evolution seeks experience-enlightened, universal, and lasting acknowledgment of the essentiality of accommodating pro-social individual initiatives and the insights of the individual human’s mind. It is essential that all human governance guarantee the individuals’ access to research and development resources

137 adequate to proving the validity of the individuals’ omni-society-benefiting technological inventions, as well as to demonstrate the invention’s innovative advantages thereby realizable for all humanity.

138 There is a fundamental difference between the commonwealth’s

139 (synergetic) accruals from individuals’ initiative and the exclusively individual profit accruals of such individual endeavors.

140 The evolutionary integrity of regenerative Universe requires that the advantages of successful initiative must always accrue synergetically to commonwealth thereafter always to be directly reinvested in further support of individually conceived, served, realized and proven, more-with-less inventing. Such discovery and invention initiatings constitute the headwaters of the great rivers of know-how whose flow has now become recognized as the regenerative essence of wealth augmentation.

141 We repeat

142 World revolution is upon us;

143 Humanity has two options:

1.

a bloody, pull-the-top-down, political revolution, or

2.

a bloodless design science revolution

144 of exponentially compounding 20th century science and technology gains in accomplishing both ever greater and more incisive tasks with ever less resources per each accomplished function for ever more humans.

(B)

which is coupled with

145 the now predominantly recirculatory inventory of metals and other chemical element-resources

(C)

which in turn is coupled with ecological regendrativity and

(D)

is again coupled with the

146 eternal cosmic regenerativity of mass-into-radiation- and-radiation-into-mass and repeat of ever everywhere transforming Scenario Universe the realistic accounting of which omni-regenerativity makes it altogether incontrovertibly manifest that there now exists adequate physical resources and metaphysical know-how with which, within only one more decade, to render all humanity economically successful while also accommodating evolutionary growth and ever increasing human freedoms, as well as providing an equally superior physical success for all foreseeable generations.

147 Wherefore we now must assume selfishness to be no longer valid, which assumption greatly alters not only the validity of exclusively private enterprise profits, but also the validity of exclusively socialist ideologies, within the same cosmic evolution which brought about the 20th century’s utterly unexpected synergetic changes transcendentally to all human contriving.

148 The world-around economies both socialist and private are trending swiftly to comprehensive service industries wherein individuals only rent their homes, vehicles, communication facilities et al., while corporations only rent their ever-evoluting machinery and buildings. This will swiftly induce the development of vast intercontinental recycling service industries with computer-time scrapping, stock-piling, renting and recovering of materials and of all chemical elements.

149 In effect, the world’s metals-bearing public lands will have been transformed into a world-governed, world-around metals-renting operation. Fixed properties will have become comprehensively obsolete, but not as a consequence of political revolution.

150 And the rented mobile properties will become progressively miniaturized and ephemeral.

151 These great evolutionary trendings have their unique gestation rates and cannot be accelerated or retarded

152 Whereas in 1776

153 a westward-around-Earth rolling evolutionary wave deposited a cross-breeding world peoples on the North American continent who declared and effected their independence from the‘‘or-else protectionism’’ of the old world and established themselves as a democratic federation of free initiative individuals, now in 1976, these North American resident democratically federated, cross-breeding worldians are declaring their recognition of the essentiality

154 of unfettered interdependence of all humanity

155 the continued frustration of which

156 by the many fearfully or selfishly biased organizations

157 may well doom human occupation of our planet.

158 Concurrently a new era of wealth has dawned which if not frustrated by selfishness will eventuate in a world-around acknowledgment, and be computer accounted as consisting exclusively of metaphysical know-how regarding the omnihumanity-supporting capability of the family of generalized principles governing the associative and disassociative behaviors of the gravitationally conserved electromagnetic Universe.

159 The cosmic hunting and fishing rights will be universal. The only owner will be the‘‘Great Spirit’’—the nonanthropomorphic god of the Indians, Eskimos and all of Earth’s earliest free-ranging humans will be re-cognized.

160 Mind will have returned into complete ascendency over matter.
