3 THE HISTORICAL ATTEMPT BY MAN TO CONVERT HIS EVOLUTION FROM A SUBJECTIVE TO AN OBJECTIVE PROCESS

3   THE HISTORICAL ATTEMPT BY MAN TO CONVERT HIS EVOLUTION FROM A SUBJECTIVE TO AN OBJECTIVE PROCESS

1The systematic growth

2 of man’s intellectually-augmented evolution is structured within

3 a progressively improved scaffolding of assumptions.

4 The integrity of the principle of intellectual assumptions as bravely taken within the confines of residual facts of disillusioned experience is progressively persuasive.

5 For the new prospect of magnificent reality looms into ken

6 as the retrospective lure of abandoned illusion first dwarfs then dissolves.

7 Thereafter the temporary scaffolding advantaged by informed approximation of simplifying and interacting principles is formally replaced by earned controls consisting of ever more exact degrees of measurement, of the finitely interactive system, of unique principles, of energetic relationship, of universe, its inherent proclivities and articulations, that is, its natural behavior.

8 The newly swollen growth of total interaction of discovered, equated, and valved-in principles floods silently to contain the subconscious rational of the total individual—society.

9 Consciously, society is at first fascinated by the novelties in technical manifestation of the omnidirectional advance as comparisoned only to the residual plurality of fading traditional background illusions.

10 Wherefore: ultimate social awareness of total engulfment by new orientation to comprehensive principles of reality appears first as enormous apprehension of potential loss …

11 of what?

12 of things, of vanities, of self-proclaimed prestige?

13 of the illusory values and transitory standards and prerogatives appropriate only to adjustments completed in yesterdays diminutive gains, by exceptional self?

14 When man shall become preoccupied

15 with drawing off the progressive magnitudes

16 of new potential

17 to establish constant worldwide

18 advancement of living standards,

19 specifically: through the systematic incorporation of scientific knowledge and technical advantage in an earth-embracing service industry of autonomous dwelling and intelligence facility and felicity

20 insuring not only his progressive immunity to annihilative factors of nature

21 but cohering his progressive appetite for truth then will subside

22 the subjective requirements—

23 the negative motivations,

24 the antipathetic surges,

25 the concessions to survival-mandated compromise promulgating the theory of

26 advancement by political initiative

27 whose expedient ways

28 are progressively powered by the

29 accumulating science and technology potential to be tapped only for dubious war objectives.

30 It will take many waves

31 of threatened self-destruction

32 by society

33 to convince and instruct and

34 mobilize

35 an effectively articulate majority of humanity

36 in the synchronization of society towards an objective evolutionary volition

37 inspired by deeply acknowledged faith in an omniscient wisdom and benevolence instructing through intellect …

38 (intellect wrote e = mc’—

39 energy did not inscribe intellect e=mc’) intellect may write every equation of physical behavior, but no physical or abstract equation will ever compass intellect or its self-starter secret.

3.
When the objective evolution emerges, the intellectually architectured house-of-tomorrow

40 will be central to the emergence.
