I had been having a problem with vibration on the front end of the van when braking on steep downhill grades and it had gotten worse on the way to Yosemite. So on Thursday morning (June 24th) instead of going into the park, I stopped at an auto parts store in Oakhurst to get a recommendation for a repair shop. They gave me the names of two "highly reputable" shops saying that one of them would probably be able to get me in today or tomorrow.
Immediately, I went to the first one, told them the situation and the symptoms and they agreed to work on it later that day! Amazing!! Without examining it first they could only say that the brake rotors likely needed to be turned and the brake pads replaced. Worse case scenario was that the brake rotors would be too far gone and would also have to be replaced, which would double the cost of the estimate.
With four hours until the appointment, I went to the library. They didn't have wifi but I was able to use one of their computers for an hour then worked on the netbook writing blog posts. Surprisingly, the time passed quickly and I went to the repair shop for the appointment at 3 o'clock. The rotors had to be replaced and it took them much longer than they thought it would. Five hours later, I left the repair shop! The only "good" thing about the wait was that the repair shop had wifi so I was able to schedule a few blog posts and even catch up with reading other blogs!
Now though, my two days at Yosemite were down to one. (The campground where I was staying was fully booked for the weekend and all of the campgrounds in Yosemite were also filled.) Friday morning (June 25th) I was up early and on my way to Yosemite at 7 o'clock. The sun was out but clouds filled the sky, it looked like it could rain.
My first destination was Glacier Point. I'd been told that the views from there were fantastic. Though it wasn't all that far (about 45 miles) it took nearly two hours to get to Glacier Point! But the views, Oh Yeah, they were worth it...
Half Dome and Vernal Falls as seen from Washburn Point (on the way to Glacier Point). The gray and gloomy skies give it a rather forbidding appearance.
Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls, from Glacier Point. The sun came out for a few minutes, highlighting the granite walls and mountain tops.
When I had arrived at Glacier Point there weren't very many people there. An hour later, the buses began to arrive. That's when I left Glacier Point and went down into the valley. The traffic was horrible. I was able to find a parking spot at the short trail to Bridalveil Falls.
Bridalveil Falls as seen from the bottom of the falls. Yeah, ya can't see much! And I got drenched. And it was fun! The force of the wind-blown water was incredible.
Then it was back to the car and the traffic. It can be confusing driving in the valley. They have a shuttle bus available for some parts of the valley but the day-use parking lots were full. Some of the roads in the village area are closed to vehicular traffic. I wanted to go to the visitor center, the Ansel Adams Gallery, and the Ahwahnee Lodge but couldn't find a place to park. By this time it was mid-afternoon and I was getting frustrated. On the bright side though, the gloomy clouds had departed and blue sky was showing between the white clouds. The sun was shining. It was a beautiful day!
Driving out of the valley, along the Merced River were several parking areas. I stopped at one of them to eat lunch and take a few photos.
I drove north toward the Tioga Road, which, if followed all the way, would take you to Tuolumne Meadows and the eastern end of the park. Realizing that it would be at least a three-hour drive back to the campground south of the park, I turned around about halfway but it was a beautiful drive. Somehow, I missed a turn and ended up back in Yosemite Valley.
Yosemite Falls from the meadow in the Valley. Cars and people line the road.
I found a parking spot along Northside Drive and walked in the meadow for a while. Further down the road I stopped in front of El Capitan where people were standing around looking through binoculars. Eventually I saw several climbers on the cliff wall, their helmets glinting in the sunlight. They looked so small.
Yosemite Valley from the tunnel overlook at the entrance into the valley. El Capitan is on the left, Half Dome is off in the distance in the center, and Bridalveil Falls on the right.
Even with the crowds of people, the congested traffic, and the lack of parking, I enjoyed my whirlwind tour of Yosemite. One short day (or even two days) is not enough time. Yosemite is on my lengthening list of places I'd like to return to someday. I'll be back!

Strawberry Sheet Cake with Whipped Cream Frosting
Strawberry anything is a favorite around here and I try to come up with a new recipe every once in a while. The first time I made this was in a 9x13 pan, not a good choice. It was still tasty but a little too banana bread like for a cake in my opinion. We are just now starting to get local strawberries but gosh there have been some incredible sales on California strawberries and they are really sweet too!
3 cups fresh strawberries-cleaned and chopped
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 sticks of butter
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs-beaten
1 t baking soda
1 t vanilla
Over the chopped strawberries, with 1/2 cup of sugar. Let them sit for an hour at room temperature so they can release some of their juices. The berries should reduce to about 1 1/2 cups. Hand crush the strawberries, you want them juicy but still with some texture.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Sift 2 cups sugar and flour, and baking soda together in a bowl.
Melt the butter on low in a saucepan and then whisk it with the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla. Add the liquid to the flour and then stir in the crushed strawberries.
Pour batter into a parchment lined sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. Cake is done when a knife comes out clean from the center. Let it cool completely and then frost with whipped cream!!!
Note: The cake will be a little brown. Still tastes great!

No Baby Yet
My due date was yesterday and still no sign of our baby. It's nice to know I should have him in my arms very very soon :) I can't wait!
I am a simple human trying to figure out the truth in this life. I encourage any opinions, as long as they're stated in a respectful manner. I want to learn :)

There's a lot of progress really. The place is painted and shelves and stuff are about 3/4 ready. There isn't much stock but that will be with a bit more time. At about 55$ per new game, it adds up to thousands (that we don't have) to fill up a place. A catalogue will be useful for a while for games.

I don't know if anyone watched Seinfeld? We are going through the seasons lately and in this episode, Jerry and George pretend to be gay because someone is eavesdropping and it ends up being the person who Jerry was waiting for to be interviewed. So the episode is him trying to convince her that he's not gay, "not that there's anything wrong with that". This line is repeated many times.

...but I will share anyway because I am so HAPPY!
I finally got my income tax completed for 2009 and 2010!!! I'm always a couple months late in doing them and that doesn't stress me out, but I am 1.5 years late for 2009 and that WAS stressing me out. Especially with a baby coming and my child benefits being cut quite some time ago for not doing my income taxes... It will be a welcome little help financially to get those back especially with my husband's revenu going towards the business and mine being lower since I will be on maternity leave.
Best of all, peace of mind! I'd been stressing pretty badly since this summer when it kicked in how late I was and when I realized I had lost a paper worth about 2000$. I didn't want to do my income tax without this paper! I looked everywhere and found it by accident last week. YAY!

Here is my birthing plan. Just a general idea of what I want from my birthing experience for things to go as smoothly as possible. I didn't add an after birth/ baby caring section because I know their procedures and they put the baby right on the mom when it's born, they strongly support breastfeeding and would never give him any water or bottle. Also, the baby always stays with the mom in her room even right after a c-section. All things that I want.
To my husband and birthing companion:
I want you to have a plan about religious traditions that you want or need to do, and communicate that with the hospital team and make sure they get done.
I wish to stay at home for as long as possible after contractions start. You will need to write (or use an app) to time the length of contractions and how far apart they are. Please wait until I suggest we go and do not pressure me into going to the hospital too fast. I wish to be in a calm environment to help me relax. Helping me relax will be your main goal.
This will continue once at the hospital of course. I will need you to speak calmly always. You will need to remind me to focus on my breathing. You will need to remind me to relax my muscles during a contraction and focus on recuperating in between contractions. I want you to learn acupressure to be able to try that for my pain relief.
I want you to remind me to try different positions during contraction. Please do not mention asking for pain relief as that will put into question my ability to deal with the pain. Let me decide when to ask. Remind me of our baby often. Make me focus on the birth to come.
To the team at the hospital:
I wish to avoid pitocin to induce at any cost. Unless the baby is in danger without it or if I end up getting an epidural and the doctor judges the drug useful or necessary for stronger contractions at pushing stage that is it. I also wish to not have my water broken artificially. I will consent to stripping the membranes though.
I wish to be offered the milder pain relief medications (air and gas, morphine) but not an epidural, although I am open to the idea of taking one if I get to that point. I will ask myself if I want it at any point during labour.
Unless there is need because of danger for my baby (or if I get an epidural), I do not want to be strapped down by monitors. An occasional check with a hand held device will be welcome. I will also consent to very occaisional internal exams to see how things are progressing, but if I am dealing well with contractions, I'd rather not be bothered often.

Introduction: the 7 cultures of mankind
The scientific definition of mankind as a super organism extending through 3 scales of the fifth dimension allow us to study scientifically cultures, in terms of the larger 'nested planet' as a super organism evolving in a vortex of increasing information from the age of 'Gaia', the life super organism into the age of History, the human super organism into the age of the metal-earth, which now starts in earnest.
Accordingly human cultures have evolved in parallel to those 3 ages in a 7th game of cultures as they also displaced its memes from worship of Gaia (Africa, Indonasia) to the evolution of history and its subconscious collective gods=minds (Islam, Buddhist Asia, Catholic South-America), to the evolution of the metal-earth, trying to manage it (humanist Europe) and surrender its will to it (Anglo-America):
In the graph the 7 historic global cultures, studied in great detail in this web, coming from 7 geographical and social memetic messages of love and life (Australasia should be put on anglo-america after its conquest).
A proper working super organism of mankind would be an heptarchy of 7 global cultures, with regional control and the intermediate nationalist, tribal war/hate memetic structure diluted between communal social organization and cultural, global one.
The regions today occupied by the 7 fractal civilizations of mankind, must be understood in terms of the 'ternary ages' of the Earth's increasing evolution of information, the dominant arrow of futures and its 'equation of present history':
Past (Gaia=Life) <Present (history=man) > Future (machine=metal-earth).
In the graphs, we can easily defined the 7 cultures of the world by its initial beliefs in one of those super organisms:
GAIA: So Africa 'believes' as the remaining Paleolithic cultures of the arctic regions in Gaia. So do the earlier Indonesian cults (sacred water rivers in hindi traditions).
Buddhist Asia believes in both, Gaia and Mankind as super organisms to 'worship'.
MANKIND: Catholic Hispano-America and Islam believe in the History as the super organism to cherish with anthropomorphic, subsconscious, collective Gods.
METAL-EARTH: Europe believes in both, History and the Metal-earth.
Finally America is unique in putting the Metal-earth and the Financial-Media/Military-Industrial system of company-mothers who FOUNDED their civilization, as the 'supreme Good and Only future of the planet', with its exceptionalism lineal progress in time towards a mechanical paradise.
Still humans could thrive if they were able to accept a higher order of organization than the warrior state. And that is the concept behind the global culture of which there are obviously 7 – Australasia being Anglo-America but in justice a desert land that belongs to Indonesia Those 7 cultures should have followed the example of the EU and become regional markets and political systems, then organized as a global wor(l)d union based in the law above money, able to control the evolution of the tree of science promote healthy welfare wealth and create a perfect world. This has not happened and this ignored blog shows the path not taken, despite decades of preaching in wilderness. But humans had always the choice to be 'slaves of metal-memes' and work for the metal-earth or create their own organic Universe – their choice cannot be imposed only reasoned and that is what we have done as all the prophets of the graph have done in the past when they created those 7 cultures loosely based in their biological, darwinian=species laws of social evolution.
So the classification of the 7 cultures WITHIN the super organisms of the higher SCALE of the Earth is obvious.
The eco(nomic)system, planet Earth in its III age of evolution of information, a mixture of 3 global super organisms made of 3 different species, life beings (Gaia), mankind in time (History) and the machine=weapon (peaceful and top predator forms of organic metal).
In the graph the 7 cultures of the world based in the evolution of the prophetic doctrines of eusocial love that through history tried to reverse the wave of animetals that evolved the FMMI system:
- Animist Africa, the original culture of life and Gaia.
2. Taoist-Buddhist Asia, with its duality concept of a Sexual Universe made of Yin-information-woman's principle and Yang-Energy-male's principle.
3. The similar hinduist Vishnu-female/Shiva-male-energy duality and sacred water cultures expanded to Indonesia, original paradise of 'genesis', as we found agriculture was born on south Asia and its river cultures moved to Sumer latter. In modern times fusion by European colonialism.
4. The Christian, original catholic culture expanded to Hispano-America, based in art and eusocial love, fast loosing its inquisitions against human pleasures.
5. Islam, the purification of Jewish segregation religion to all humans, the last of the Abrahamic cultures, which Muhammad, expressly wrote to convert the hardy, original animetal warrior Arabs to the messages of love and charity.
6. The Jewish-protestant Anglo-American culture, origin of the global capitalist world of corporations, based in the individual faith of the I-centered languages, and the Go(l)d cultures of earlier Levante/
7. And finally the European, eusocial culture, which rationalized the messages of eusocial love in the French and Russian R=evolutions.
The only way mankind could survive the rivalry and hate memes of animetal idol-ogies, would be through:
The fusion of nations into those cultures and the rule of the world by an heptarchy of presidents of those 7 'human worlds', by delegating national sovereign rights upwards to the heptarchy and downward to the regions/states of each nation, in the way shown by the European union (upwards) or the Spanish nation (downward to its 'regions'), which would allow to eliminate armies, coupled with:
A single currency emitted through Universal salaries (end of currency wars now in the making, and end of financial parasitism and global poverty).
We will return to that perfect world that could change the future and make History the immortal super organism of mankind.
But it must be clear from the beginning that those 7 memetic cultures are quite different in what they do to Gaia mankind and the machine. The culture we all worship, the Anglo-American culture is merely the capitalist culture which 'believes' in memes of metal over man in ALL the systems of reality. And it is the reason why it follows the anti-quantum paradox:
Max. technological evolution (robotic age) ≈ Min. Cultural evolution (biblical racist bronze age culture).
Indeed, of those 7 cultures, the most primitive are those who sponsor the oldest animetal cults, the Islamic warrior culture of imposition of idol-ogies with weapons, the Hindi, indo-european cultures of war (today in the west reaching its paroxysm in germanic->Russian/American military cultures, and the Go(l)d culture of Jewish->Biblical memes that made of go(l)d a fetish religion and of money the language of God (Money is the invisible hand of god, Adam Smith; 'the intelligence of God is money', Calvin, Aaron and the levi caste as high priests and bankers of old israel). They founded capitalism, which is merely the religion of Money at all cost as the only purpose of society, to which any other goal including human life must yield.
The 7 cultures in time, as the ST-wave between Spatial simultaneous loving information that creates superorganisms and temporal, entropic devolution
In the highest understanding of the wave of history those 7 spatial simultaneous cultures appeared in sequential order as the equation of the 3 ages of earth moved through technological evolution towards the age of the metal-earth. So for each of those ages there was a counteraction of the wor(l)d to create with its information a new spatial superorganism or global civilization, which spread in one of the 7 geographical regions of the Earth.
Past (Gaia=Life: Africa>Indonasia) <Present (history=man: Asia>Islam>LatinAmerica) > Future (machine=metal-earth: Europe>Anglo-America).
So in terms of its informative minds, it must be understood as a religion of History according to the graph of religious cultures that gave birth to those 7 civilizations as a counteraction to the 7 cycles of extinction of previous cultures by new metal master radiations:
We thus divide religions in metal religions of gold and war that foster the evolution of the metal-earth( Go(l)d churches and inquisitions, which are the Jewish-Protestant gold churches dominant today in Anglo-America & the warrior hindi religion and its evolved modern idol-ogies of nationalism, capitalism and mechanism); religion of love that foster the evolution of mankind as a whole, which are Islam and Christianity and in the modern age socialism, ♥; and religions of the Universe and its space-time, yin-yang symmetries, which are Taoism, Buddhism and Animism, ♦. They are dominant in each of the 7 global civilizations of mankind, appearing in each of the 7 cycles of metal-history as a counter-reaction to the massive extinction of life of those cycles.
Metal-religions appeared first with the arrival of bronze charioteers, splitting in war hindi religions and go(l)d Baal and Jewish and then protestant religions); as a new top predator species, in this case the animetal, extinguishes with brutality all other forms. So they are also the oldest ones. In the middle age of history eusocial love religions will try to reform them. While life-based religions of Gaia, tend to have roots in previous pre-metal ages (African animism, Buddhism with roots in pre-aryan cultures, and Taoism. Yet paradoxically in the last age of History metal-religions have come to dominate again history in its modern capitalist and nationalist versions. So the Aryan tribalism evolved also in Europe through its germanic hordes, and go(l)d biblical cultures evolved into capitalism through classic economics are today the dominant cultures of the 'sub-units' of those civilizations, industrial nations, competing to arrive to the age of robotics and life extinction faster than their neighbors.
Africa is thus a global civilization.
We shall study its super organism in space, through its physiological networks, and fractal sub-cultures, and in time, through its 800-80-8 years cycles in this post, always a 'work in progress' that future researchers of bio-history could continue… but first for those unaware of the laws of bio-history a general introduction.
This work always 'in progress' given the natural extension of any description of a super organism (ultimately only the super organism holds all the information about itself), will try to analyze the fundamentals of its time-space existence, according to the laws of:
- 'Cyclical time' through the 3 ages of History, and its life and death of civilizations in 800-80 generational cycles, tuned to the evolution of metal and its overeproduction crises of weapons and war (final entropic extinction of an 'animetal 800 years civilization or 80 years national generation in all those cycles) and
- Fractal space, as a simultaneous isuper organism, according to its ternary differentiations, by geography, language of power and social classes.
Yet to understand any Nation with the science of bio-history we need first to make for those not familiar with the discipline, an introduction to its basic laws, fractal super organisms of history and life and death 800-80 year worldcycles, which all the superorganisms of space-time endure according to the 5D laws of the fractal Universe.
Because Science IS culture, and you live in a culture dominated by idol-ogical beliefs, which are the 'deterministic memes' that act as a collective wave of Information that makes people behave in predictable ways through those cycles, obviously you consider your beliefs 'absolute truths' and among them, the belief that your 'social unit' is not the species, mankind, but your tribal nation, that the best way to rule a society is not putting the values of the ethic wor(l)d that make of man the supreme species but those of metal-money (in the past, gold, silver today e-money cycles in computer chips), that give maximal value to the most expensive goods, weapons, and minimal value to life; and that reality is made to the image and likeness of machines (technological science, lineal time 'physics) not a fractal organism of which we are all similar sub-species, and finally that survival is enhanced by darwinian competition, not by eusocial love.
All those memetic idol-ogies are false, and it is very easy to prove them so using 'rational thought', but beliefs are dogmatic deterministic imprintings, memes attached to knee-jerk emotions and ego-centered thoughts that make us happy and we try to conserve by all means. So most people will defend irrationally as identities, those idol-ogies regardless of the harm that make to mankind and one self on the long term, and for that reason, idol-ogies have carried the day in Human History.
We are however not interested here for reasons of 'length in space and duration of time' to give you a full introduction to the difference between true social sciences and idol-ogy, and 'real scientific models of the Universe based in the proper interpretation of experimental data and mathematical equations' and 'metaphysical models' that bend data and equations to serve those idol-ogies.
Still if you want to understand bio-history and the reasons d'être of nations and its differential, fractal divides at least you should understand the cyclical NOT lineal nature of time and the 800-80 years cycles of evolution of weapons and machines that have killed rythmically all those nations and civilizations in war periods where metal consumes life and the FRACTAL, scalar not continuous nature of space, structured in organic scales of parts that co-exist with wholes and give the organic Universe its living properties.
So the first part of each of this posts on nations of the Human super organism of History is a many times rewritten theoretical minimum about the organic Universe and its laws applied to bio-history and bio-economics, so you can understand where your nation fits in, what are its sub-cultures, cycles of history and economics, physiological networks (informative culture and laws, economic networks, geographic entropic networks), how 'deformed' they are by the wrong design of raw power history and what would be its ideal form as an efficient organic society.

II. Africa is a global civilization.'
"Love each other as I have loved you" Jesus, on the science of social evolution
The Wor(l)d of History in its entropic age – Metalearth at birth.
This blog is dedicated to the study of social sciences, economics, history, anthropology, sociology, finances, cultures, religions, memetic, etc. with the philosophy of science called 'Systemics', where reality is modeled as an organism, its only 'scientific' philosophy as a machine requires a God to be put in motion. Systemics also called theory of information, Complexity or cybernetics is a novel science, which Hawking rightly called the science of the XXI c. but it is applied mostly to the design of robots, computer systems and the improvement of Company-mothers of machines, in its internal re=productive organization.
HOW WE DEFINE then the economic system and the superorganism of history in systemics? Easy, as any other superorganism of the Universe:
The science of economics AS A TRUE SOCIAL SCIENCE, is the science of the 're=productive, blood-like system' of the organism of mankind in time, History, whose natural purpose would be to provide all human beings, citizens-cells of our superorganism, with the goods they need to survive and repress as blood-systems do the lethal goods that harm our body (weapons) and minds (hate memes, racist cultural memeplexes, fiction thought that isolate us and create virtual 'mad-minds') etc.
We explain this simple fact and in the next graph show the basic structure of the superorganism of mankind and its 'economic frame of reference' that should value goods and control its production according to their biological utility to foster the drives of life of human beings, making us thrive as individual and species, because WE NEED FIRST TO UNDERSTAND a true science of economics to have a perspective on what today passes as 'economics', NOT a science but a PRAXIS OF power:
In the graph, we resume the nature of History, the superorganism of mankind, and how it should be designed according to the biological Whealth humans need to thrive and survive, if the economic system was not an ill-designed parasitic system of debt slavery, born of the evolution of supremacist fetish gold cultures, in conjunction with the metal-entropic iron cultures that consider MONEY not what it is – a digital language of distribution and production of goods, no wealth per se, but a language that kicks the reproduction of those goods, as words do with human organisms and oxygen and hormones with biological systems – hence a language that should be delivered tool citizens-cells to start production and consumption of welfare goods, with universal salary and NO-DEBT government issues (that is not need to return the money).
How a tender legal language of money, as envisioned by the legalist rational Greek-Roman culture, which used nomisma, tender money – brittle iron rotten in vinegar put on a stamped leather note to stress it was just a government's digital language of exchange became a precious informative hypnotic metal, considered wealth per se, has to do with the CONFRONTATION IN HISTORY OF TWO cultures of very different degree of evolution:
Only very primitive systems reproduce and devour lethal products dying in the process, as worms and capitalist societies do because its lower informative, ethic, legal and leukocyte, military system doesn't defend them from parasites and lethal germs
In true form humans are a living social organism, built with 3 networks akin to those of any social organism, which we should enhance instead of the 3 equivalent networks of metal and its memes. We should provide goods for our welfare as organisms, not for the welfare of machines. We should use informative legal and digital languages of money to create that wealth, not giving their issue in monopoly to company-mothers of machines to reproduce and evolve metal (90% of money today is issued by financiers and company-mothers in stocks and derivatives invested in metal not in man). And certainly we should forget all about nationalism and war, as members of the same species.
IT IS then necessary to understand first how obvious and simple are the true social sciences that take care of the physiological networks of mankind:
- Socialism, the belief humans should be democratic and rule themselves and their languages of power, so money should be reproduced by a Universal salary and by governments to promote welfare goods, biological goods first, and only when those basic needs are covered, mechanisms selected in production according to utility
- Humanism, all humans equal, no weapons and borders, for murdering members of the same species
- Organicism, man as the measure of all things, the most perfect super organism which we should cherish and imitate to build a perfect human world.
All what we talk about is in fact a mere denial of those 3 social sciences, mostly by capitalism, the M.A.D. ideology of gold, Nazionalism, which divide humans into tribes to war, and mechanism which simplifies the Universe to make the machine an evolving organism, the measure elf all things.
In General Systems sciences we model all what exists under the principle of organicism. To that aim we establish a 'fifth dimension' of scalar space-time, whose metric laws put together parts into wholes. And this fifth dimension must be considered the dominant one into the future. So particles evolved into wholes called atoms that evolved into wholes called molecules, cells, matter states and organisms, ecosystems and planetary super organisms, galaxies and beyond.
The scales that concern social sciences are those taking place over the surface of planet Earth, which as the cortex neuron of a life organism, become the mind of the planet. And within that surface we observe a growing evolution in complexity of the 'social networks' that conform the planetary super organism. So the first network to appear of plants joined by mushroom networks was simpler, chemical. Then animals appeared but they formed ecosystems, where multiple small social networks fought for survival. As organisms tend to be of the same species, talking the same language of information – the key element that makes them work together in synchronicity. And because the arrow of eusocial evolution IS the survival arrow of the Universe, ants, which achieved maximal social evolution formed the first complex super organisms and came to dominate the Earth (they are still with man the most massive life species).
But as bigger multicellular systems appeared breaking the limits of growth of insects with exoskeletons and poor breathing apparatus, mammals suffered the same evolution towards maximal information, and network connection giving birth to a super organism, balanced with the Earth's body during the Neolithic, Mankind.
As such mankind in time, 'History', is the super organism of humanity, where each individual human beings is a cell-citizen of the super organism.'
And ideally it should form a single global civilization in 'balance' with the welfare life goods that sustain it.
But after the discovery of weapons this balance with Gaia was broken, and the neolithic age of fertility Goddesses, stone temples and peaceful coexistence among different 'sub-organs' of mankind 'cultures' extended over the fractal structure of the planet, was broken. As it appeared a different species, called the 'animetal', a human being attached to entropic metal iron (weapons) or informative metal (gold), which hypnotizes the eye and reduces the 'verbal capacity' and oxytocin production of the brain. So animetals of two subspecies, the genocidal warrior and the enslaving go(l)d banker, aware of its capacity to kill the 'body' and 'mind' of humans, established hierarchical, racist societies, and myths of racial superiority over the human capital they enslave, or the enemies they extinguish in war.
But as their comprehension of the 'organic Universe' dwindled, due to the aforementioned paradox of history:
Max. Metal evolution = Min. Human evolution…
absurd verbal theories of supremacism appeared, during the III millennium onwards, since Bronze and Gold, latter Iron and silver became the 'vehicle' of a covenant with God, above heavens and earth. And this first 'civilizations' of animetal masters spread the new cult(ure)s and its idol-ogies all over the Earth.
So idol-ogies were born of the ab=use of humans with metal-memes, to justify them in a second layer after the actions of greed and violence became rife. In Marxist jargon (not my favorite by any means in economics, but of certain quality in History), we could talk of 'superstructures' of thought, which our 'ruling people-caste' of animetals deviced once they destroyed it all with weapons, enslaved with gold and atrophied its senses with machines – to feel they were right…
The 3 partitions of humansuperorganism, class 'scale', geography and language.
All human super organisms have a class scale structure as all organisms do, due to the duality body-head over a territory it preys. So immediately 3 classes arise:
- The informative/neuron class which dominates the organism depending on the language of power, which in an efficient just human society will be the wor(l)d, and in an animetal society, will be money or weapons, defining 3 types of class structure.
- A reproductive, working class, which obeys the neuronal class, which will be workers ruled by money, soldiers ruled by weapons and citizens ruled by laws, below the mixture of those social classes.
- And finally a territory where the system preys its energy, which in hierarchical animetal societies includes as 'entropic class' human beings (the poor, the enemy) but should NOT:
It is then DUE TO THE PROCESSES OF PREDATION OF ANIMETAL PEOPLE-CASTES ON TOP OF SOCIETIES THAT WAR CYCLES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING IN THE PAST AND THE FUTURE OF HISTORY AS THE IDOL-OGIES THAT RULE ANIMETALS IMPOSE A DETERMINISTIC FUTURE THROUGH ITS CYCLES AND GENERATIONS OF EVOLUTION OF WEAPONS AND MACHINES:
In mathematical terms, the equation of money, Man(salary)=Money=Object (price), constantly compares humans and machines and discharges humans when the machine or weapon performs better in labor and war fields. In a wor(l)d based culture man (subject)> verb (action) > object (energy of subject) ALWAYS PUTS MANKIND ON TOP, so in terms of the paradox of history, a verbal civilization will have more social development and welfare goods, while a capitalist culture will maximize the evolution and reproduction of machines and care nothing for the welfare of people.
And this allow us to differentiate 3 type of cultures, those who believe in wor(l)ds, religious or true democratic systems, those who believe in weapons above life, military dictatorships, symbiotic to those who believe in go(l)d as the top language, capitalist, societies.
So because ORGANISMS ARE RULED BY INFORMATIVE NERVOUS LANGUAGES WHOSE VALUES AND SELECTION OF SPECIES DETERMINE ITS SURVIVAL, in a world ruled by digital, metal-money and its values of price, which reproduce the products of maximal profits (maximal price=weapons or minimal cost of reproduction=digital software) ALL THE RESOURCES OF THE PLANET are deviated by the equation of profits to reproduce and evolve, weapons and informative machines, and ignore the needs of welfare of mankind, served by 'cheap perishable or unprofitable, priceless goods' (food, education, health-care, life survival).
The field research and origins of the writer…
I apologize therefore for being just an old man with 1.5 dwindling kilos of neuronal flesh … Obviously the most developed posts, and no, this is not scienfic racism but reality, belong to the 7th and 6th Anglo-American and European cultures because unfortunately from a human life point of view, they are guiding still the world specially Anglo-America.
As we are all part of a culture, knots of thought of its memes, a small intro to the author and its methods is required.
What is the knowledge I know of those fractal nations and my field research will likely rise the eyebrows of pedantic scholars, as it is grounded in the classic methods of knowledge of 'Human living systems' we might call 'fluid traveling' (: Of course I have read extensively since youth books of History, which in my native country Catalonia reached in the earlier democratic years a degree of objectivity and scholarship hardly found anywhere in the world today, as it was a nation without borders, stock-markets, extremely cultured, both in the classic age of humanism, hauling from a foundational Greek origin, which explains its likeness for art and reason, but also having started the industrial r=evolution, only second to Manchester in Vapor machines in the XVIII c. serving the whole Spanish empire. Further more I come from a family of lawyers, doctors and politicians, with a passion for history, and humanism, my great-grand father, a sephardim converso, and Doctor, president of the world medical association, was major of Barcelona and started the first privately funded health-care system in Europe.
Regarding the field research, it started when I escaped military service, which ended my scholar careers – I studied economics and biology, which this blog merges, (and latter extensively mathematical physics during my years of activism against the Nuclear Industry and a Master on writing at Columbia U.) – the merge of all those fields being the origin of my advances on systemics and the fifth dimension…
So I was obliged in my youth to travel extensively through the world for a decade, and took as model some books of adventurous cultural travel, 'My life' by Harris and Casanova, with a method aimed to achieve maximal knowledge of class structure, flesh and mind more than touristic sightseeing, done of course ad lateral. First after a couple of debauchery years in London, providing vicervices to its aristocratic elites, the usual 'sex, drugs & R&R', armed with contacts from finishing schools, rock stars and Oxbridge kids, running away this time for wholesale cocaine traffic, I followed a dual method: I would arrive to any country as a guest of a prominent young scion of a family – often a woman with whom I had or will have short adventure, understanding the upper class, visiting the usual Museums and key cities, to then cut-off all ties by taking a trip to the lower scales of society, sometimes paying my way with the help of servants of the first hosts – as in Brazil, going from Marinho's Metropolis states to Baixada fluminense or in Thailand from a princess' engagement North to opium hats. This second par being highly adventurous, drug-riddled, intense and often life-risking…
This happening for years truly gave me a thorough understanding of the intellectual, moral, economic and cultural Nature of all the key nations of the world, in a time – the 80s when the Internet, chip radiation had NOT YET erased all cultures, into a globalized melting pot of iPoos and carcasses of frozen ceremonies that pass as culture. So it would be for anyone today impossible to experience a world of 'people' and its 'fluids', passions, love and hate memes, because it does NOT exist anymore.
Thus I have an extensive knowledge of all Historic civilizations, on those travels on my youth through almost every country of the world in different forms, which started with an 'Explorer truck trip from South-Africa to Iran', followed by extensive years with backpack through South-Asia, South-America, preceded by even earlier, yearly rail pass travels through Europe, complemented latter with a field trip from Tanger to Cairo stopping in old walls alley clubs on the nights and strong coffeshops on the mornings… which finally closed with my landing of a writing MFA at Columbia U. and a job as a scriptwriter in evil wood, with a first script sold called Machupichu on my months as a 'terrorist' with Shining path…
The only place I have not been after a long post-life in the key nations of Anglo-America (US both coasts and car trips east–west north-south, UK and Canada), is Australasia. Since I lost all my money on the way to Surabaya with a Chinese group of Jakarta entrepreneurs, going to appease its many sins to prey to several buddhist temples, on a comfort bus, accompanied with a cook, a blind masseuse and a team of whores… which fed up of my cocky ways, beating them at Poker, got me high on opium and stripped me off under the influence (: but were nice enough to leave on my bed a return ticket to Singapore… so I never arrived to Sydney – those were the days ): And then I decided frankly that Australia, its original culture extinguished, another copycat of the Anglo-American capitalist world ruled by company-mothers and go(l)d was the only place on Earth I would never walk.
So yes, this is not the pedantic, dry form of cultural analysis with zero exchange of fluids, with its ridiculous application of the technological method to search for some relics or tombs hidden in the ground, excuse to further payments to the digital industry, but rather the equivalent of Schielmann passion for Troy, or Herodotus narrative – data crunching though it is granted on those texts by the use of encyclopedias, my extensive knowledge of all cultures, which was always the first step of each national landing among the upper classes to entice them with my knowledge of their cultures, as a refined European aristocrat, before the 'real trip fields' started in earnest. And some clear-cut facts of the structure of all nations were learned on that journey:
- That behind all the artificial memes of animetal financial and military-industrial idol-ogies all HUMANS ARE EQUAL, AND ALL FOLLOW THE SAME BIOLOGIC WANTINGS FOR what I call the complex 'Dimotions of love and reproduction first, through family and social bondage; whereas money and power are secondary to that aim; with the notable exception of some upper class people in the most industrious nations of the mongoloid mental world, obsessed with machines (notably Japanese=Koreans Singaporeans and Silicon nerds) with Go(l)d (Anglo-American biblical fundamentalists and 'yous' wherever they host) and with weapons (Americans, North and South of the border and the military elites of Africa and Islam.) So yes mankind is the same, but the viral destructive influence of idol-ogies of metal sip upwards in the social structure to ensure that the destruction of the world continues.
It was then natural to choose as my professional goal, once discovered the laws of the fifth dimension of parts and wholes, structured through physiological networks, into superorganisms, NOT to dedicate my efforts as my peers in California and Wall Street did, to improve the metal-kind and make money but to improve the human kind and help to design a perfect world, a goal thwarted by the anti-quantum paradox of censorship, which those idol-ogies and national elites impose with surgical precision to all those who want to save their sons till the seventh generation. The Harder they fall.
It is for that decade of traveling around the world and researching the Nature of people of all cultures, nations and class conditions, from where an absolute reasoned belief on the Paradox of History, Max. Metal evolution (of class or nation) = Min. Human evolution arise, as well as the comprehension that 'the Universe is a fractal organism, with a mind called God=Logos' (Plato), so my return to scholarship and study once in America, could NOT erase that profound belief in the unity of the human race, the moral inferiority of the upper animetal class, and the supremacy of the organic bio-logic laws of reality over pure mathematical abstractions.
So that underlying subconscious knowledge of the people of the world, its wanting, social classes, dying cultures and mores gives me a certainty about what is right and its wrong with mankind. And time permitted I hope to complete a serious analysis of each nation of the human planet in those posts, using extensively mappings from the best work on the field, the German Kinder atlas of world history done in the 70s before political correctness faked even serious historical analysis, as when a species dies, the first remains to be extinguished are those of its past.
In the graph, the scientific method applied to social sciences requires:
A)accurate data, B)biological causes C)cyclical patterns to predict the future D)democratic humanist solutions.
None of those 4 elements are met today by history or economics that use biased data to cater selfish agendas of nations, companies and social classes, notably financiers and politicos in charge of the 'informative-nervous-legal' and reproductive-blood-financial-economic systems and languages of power
A)genda data, bent to cater their goals of power and profits B) lack any rational model of their actions as they cannot merely assess their selfishness, so they develop absurd theories, such as capitalism 'the astounding belief that the wickedest of all people will do the wickedest of all things for the common good' or nationalism 'the astounding belief the human species which should according to biology fight for the survival of the whole speciess can be 'closed into boxes like insects to hate each other' (Orwell), since 'all nations ridicule other nations, all are right' (Schopenhauer). As a result of this 'hypocritical nature of selfish power, those 'placebo models' of caring…
C) don't predict the future and D) don't act democratically serving the 99%, but when coming to the REAL results of selfish A)gendas of course 'deliver' ONLY for company-mothers of machines and its elite of owners and managers – an irrelevant part of mankind (a 1-10% of it).
In the first graph, all sciences predict the future of its species by projecting the patterns of previous cycles, obtained with sound data and logic, mathematical, objective models of reality. Models such as neo-classic economics that fail those proofs of truth must be considered ideologies. In the right, the evolution and extinction of species in planet Earth, whose evolution of information now transcends into machines, which are systems of metal that humans construct by imitating their biological organs and functions of energy and information, proper of animal life.
Yet to understand why ALL sciences are predictable we have to introduce 2 fundamental concepts overlooked by the human kind – the fact that science is part of a culture, and as we live in a military, entropic culture, this lineal chaotic view has simplified our view of the repetitive cycles of time that allow prediction in all sciences.
Science is culture.
A simple example will suffice: Why Time is cyclical.
The first fact you must understand IS that science is BOTH an instrument of power, and a form of culture, beyond the collection of data and its expression in equations, at the most basic detailed level. All what comes after – the general models of reality of each science are always biased by the power idol-ogy of the historic culture that develops them.
THE GRAPH shows one of the many examples we shall include in this blog: the obvious fact that time clocks are cyclical and multiple, but humans have reduced them all to the concept of a single lineal time clock for the entire Universe that progresses towards a future, obviously 'positive' for the human kind.
The equations are indeed the same. Lineal time writes T and cyclical time measured in frequency its inverse 1/ƒ; so if we were to change all the equations of physics by putting 1/ƒ instead of T, we would change the PARADIGM of time to cyclical time but all the practical results will be the same, just expressed in frequency.
I.e. Speed = Space/Lineal time (V=S/T), becomes Speed = wavelength x Frequency, (V=λ x ƒ) …
Cyclical time just moved to the numerator and that is all.
But the consequences are huge when we 'perceive reality as chaotic, lineal, free and entropic' guided towards the obvious 'future of death', which therefore JUSTIFIES WAR AND BIG-BANG THEORIES OF A DYING EXPLOSIVE UNIVERSE vs. the perception of time as cyclical, hence reality as bounded, entangled, multiple, whereas death is just the necessary end of a cycle of renewal of life, which we shall very soon show to be also the case for the fractal, organic eternal Universe, when we model it with the tools of cyclic time.
Further on in the previous simple cycle, we shall notice that in the equation of cyclical time we get also more information, as cyclical time requires a second dimension to form a cycle of height, which is the dimension of information, where all heads, antennae, particles reside.
So we recover the form, the information of the Universe back expressed in the 'form and frequency of those cycles' (indeed a computer calculates information with logic cyclical formal algorithms processed in Ghz frequencies).
Yet the biggest justification of the cyclical nature of time is the existence of science itself, which is the study of 'repetitive patterns of causality and effect', which if cyclical time will NOT exist, would never repeat, and makes the logic of time, the highest of all languages of thought, above mathematics itself (which indeed is proved by logic, and developed as Boolean logic in computers).
Precisely because time is not considered cyclical, (but as its cycles ARE embedded in the inverse parameter of T=1/ƒ, in physics the logic of time works), those sciences where there is NOT an understanding of its 'cycles', as in History and Economics, predictive power – which is the essential proof of a scientific theory DOES NOT exist – at least till this blog; since the writer using cyclical time laws has been for 30 years predicting the general patterns of history and economics as his earlier books, coming out of Columbia back in the 90s did, predicting the ±80±8 cyclical crashes of the economy and 'return' to the neo-fascist age of nationalisms, after the predicted 2008 crash of the economic ecosystem).
Moreover, cyclical time 'closes' and breaks space into an outer and inner region (first law of knot theory), therefore explaining why we are all 'broken space-time beings' with an external membrane that separate us, explaining indeed why we can all be spacetime beings, whose sum of 'puzzle pieces' give the impression of a continuum…
Thus in cyclical time, space BECOMES broken, fractal, a sum of 'steps' or wavelengths.
So such a simple first example of relational space-time SHOWS to which DEGREE even the most obvious scientific equations are a product of cultural choice, whose subconscious reasons – in the case of lineal time, the military search for lineal, entropic motions that destroy the 'form', the in-form-ation of beings – creep into POSTULATES without proof, as the underlying limits of our capacity to understand in depth the Universe.
But once converted in dogma, nobody doubts of them, as MOST minds are repetitive (indeed remember the Universe is about repetition of patterns), memorial systems NOT reasoning ones – reason why so obvious contradictions of lineal time, religion or big-bang cosmologies are not even spotted by billions of humans, who consider themselves members of the most intelligent species of reality.
Since indeed, ALL HUMAN SOCIETIES CONSIDERED ALWAYS TIME TO BE CYCLICAL BUT it was the lineal, 'visual', entropic, military sword-like European gunpowder culture which first in history decided to CHANGE our worldview of time and definitely change our models of life and the Universe.
Needless to say this change of paradigm, was the work of 'Lineal' military physicists, established since the inception of physics, when instead of frequency of time cycles, Galileo decided to use its inverse parameter, lineal time duration, as its job was to measure the distance of cannonballs.
So you can see the interplay of culture – THE JOB OF PHYSICISTS IS STILL to make lineal entropic weapons, which creep in science – all their models of the Universe are based in a single lineal entropic arrow of time; and the INTERPRETATION PROBLEM when we go beyond data into larger models of reality, simplified by the reductionist model of a single time arrow. And of course BECAUSE POWER AND CULTURE are related, for 4 centuries physicists who hold the true power of our technological-military civilization specially the 'German' physicists that invented the modern lineal theories of the Universe became the 'seers of time and space' – the new Gods, as Kepler put it, in no doubtful terms: "God has waited 5000 years to find an intelligence like his, to understand his clockwork'.
Why we can predict the future – the 3 levels of Time.
An important question though must be clarified even if we go further into this specific post that introduces the 5 Dimensional motions of the Universe, which has to do with the ternary properties of the Universe as all is made of space, time and scale, and hence it has mathematical=spatial, logic=temporal and organic=scalar properties, which unfortunately humans fail to recognize, as they have become specialized in 'mathematical=spatial only properties' due to the prominent role of physics and its digital machines of spatial measure in our systems of knowledge.
As it is impossible to make sense of reality if we do NOT include ALL THOSE PROPERTIES, as expressed previously in the 5 elements of reality.
So in this blog we are making exact predictions of social sciences and prove it with 30 years of published books and papers far more exact than those of CIA, World Bank, and any think tank you might thought of, because we know the 3 LEVELS OF PREDICTABILITY OF TIME SYSTEMS. And all that uau! NOT with billions of dollars IN data, and AI machines to do IT, BUT my feeble, 1.5 kilograms of dirty water aka 1 brain, which has been doing it and handling it for free since the 90s, since I ended my Columbia u. master and started to churn self-paid small print books with predictions of history and economics that have been happening TO the letter.
Why I am NOT an AI machine as most people think I should be to forecast the future and solve the form in which the future of systems is GENERATED, has to do with a fact most scientists accustomed just to use data put in mathematical models FAIL to grasp about the fractal, organic Universe and its SCALES of 'time-length':
A system on the entangled fractal Universe has TOPO-BIO-LOGIC properties derived of its spatial, mathematical structure, its temporal, logic structure and ITS SCALAR, organic structure as parts co-exist into larger wholes and this gives the whole an organic structure.
As it happens, the MATHEMATICAL, topologic structure IS the shortest time span, as it is about SOCIAL NUMBERS, herds of equal forms that move in space, which is a slice of the whole time FLOW. AND SO mathematics is good for detail and spatial calculus which is what instantaneous derivatives do – but NOT for CHANGES OF age/phase, as derivatives cannot happen in points that have a fractal change.
So to the rescue come the LOGIC structure of the Universe, which studies time causality, between events and has a longer span. This logic structure is based in the CYCLICAL PATTERNS OF TIME clocks, which as your watch or any orbital day-year is cyclical and repeats in LONGER TIME FRAMES, so we can predict LONGER TIME FRAMES from the logic patterns of cyclical time.
And HERE human scientists ARE ALREADY AT LOSS, because since Galileo studied ballistics, entropic explosion that destroy the information of reality stored in THOSE CYCLES OF TIME CLOCKS, its patterns and frequency, MANKIND CHANGED its cyclical understanding of time for a lineal time that SEEMS NOT TO REPEAT so they have MISSED its capacity to understand the cycles of time, of history and economics, with its OBTUSE lineal time models. And so they cannot EVEN CONCEIVE the predictability of economics and its SUBMISSIVE placebo democratic capitalist system where POLITICOS are ruled by companies 'subventions' and so do what is GOOD for the profits of economics according to the evolutionary patterns of machines. Which leads us to the THIRD level of DEEP TIME, that is, of the patterns of evolution of the Earth's life species, including machines, as first mentioned by Hutton, founder of geology who coined the word superorganism for Gaia and deep time for the slower 5th dimensional clocks of larger organic systems.
THIS IS THE LEVEL OF DEEPER forecasting of time cycles, which I also use in my webs, but as humans stopped their understanding of time predictability in the first level of mathematical calculus, obviously they cannot understand what we do here,
Some important features of an organic model of history and economics ARE:
- It can predict the future as the work of this writer for 30 years have proved advancing decades ahead the key phases of both historic and economic developments, from the 2001-8 overproduction crash of 'metal-mind' chips and its financial derivatives and computer gadgets that signaled the change of age of evolution of machines from the age of metal-minds to the age of robots, and its change of phase from machines that humans consume to top predator weapons that will consume us – parallel to the previous generation 1929-37 crash of overproduction of engines that switched from cars to top predator tanks and bombers, starting the fascist age, parallel to the 1857-63 crashes of the train economy which switched from overproduction of peaceful transports to armored weapons starting the colonial age. It follows then that what we call History IS in its present structure an organism submissive to the eco(nomic)system and its 'free citizens', company-mothers or else the parallel historic cycle we predicted of an increasing switch to 'populism' similar to the parallel switch to 'fascism' similar to the parallel switch to 'colonialism' that MAXIMIZES the profits of corporations with weapons arsenals, once the overproduction crisis makes impossible further human consumption would NOT be happening with the predicted 'Human Generational' cycle of 72 years (1857+72=1929+72=2001 Dotcom crash)
- Its laws are derived directly from the much larger model of the organic, fractal Universe and its 5D metric mathematical and logic formalism, reason why we DO start this web with an objective analysis of the organic fractal Universe and its laws, as we are PART of that entangled Universe, as a human species NOT as our ego-trips and myths of human superiority make us belief(also explained in the model by the paradox of perception, which makes any system that gauges information to select and perceive from its self-centered point of view). So by force if we want to do OBJECTIVE SCIENCE, we must play the 'alien scientist' and observe the interaction between the 3 ages of the Earth's superorganism, Gaia, History and the Metal-earth with detachment from mankind, even if I belong to such a species (no, I am not an AI machine handling data to forecast the future with some awesome Algorithm of Information – true meaning of AI – even if Systems sciences are the original foundational sciences of Information and I was at the turn of the century the most advanced researcher in the field).
- Scientists accustomed just to use data put in mathematical models FAIL to grasp about the fractal, organic Universe and its SCALES of 'time-length':
In the graphs, the first books that defined 30 years ago the General model of fractal spacetime and the fifth dimension, which studied the 'errors' (In science a term NOT for something wrong but for the part of reality a model fails to account for) of Einstein and Darwin, the 'Ignorance' on the scalar laws of the 5th dimension of social organic parts that become wholes of which the fourth dimension is a shorter time scale studying a single plane of light space-time… and the ignorance by Darwinian dog-eat-dog models of evolution of the stronger force of eusocial love that creates from parts organic wholes, evolving genes into cells, cells into multicellular organisms, into eusocial insects and social humans potentially into a global superorganism, unfortunately being 'predated' today by a rival superorganism of company-mothers of machines-weapons and its digital 'nervous' flows of e-money which are DOMINATING the future, and so we can predict according to those models of eusocial evolution or 'DEEP time' level of reality, the future of any organic system – because systems that evolve socially SURVIVE.
In the left, its application to the organisms of history and economics and its paradoxes of symbiosis and darwinian predatiojn between both species in cyclical ages of war and peace, its 800±80±8 vortex of technological evolution of information and its 'future cycles' past the robotic age, which was to start in the 2008 crash of the age of metal-minds as the graph shows.
With the final humanist solutions of r=evolutionary nature, which would create immortal history, the 'Wor(l)d', a world based in the laws of eusocial evolution and organic science that should advance the systems already essayed by EU and UNO, the most advanced praxis of human history, INSTEAD OF THE capitalist system of a world to the service of the cycles of machines and weapons. But the 'anti quantum paradox' soon felt upon the writer which was always very active against the ill-designed society in which he lived, NOT using his knowledge of the stock cycles to make a fortune, but denouncing the non-future of the present economic ecosystem, and trying to stop with little success the continuous evolution of nuclear weapons, which obviously didn't advance its scholar career.
- Which leads to a final point worth to notice. AN organic model of the Universe as it is, following the true laws of the Universe in all its scalar depth, can ALSO PROVIDE THE TOOLS to R=EVOLVE and improve the design of the economic ecosystem and its attached submissive political systems TO FAVOR MANKIND, and design a world to the image and likeness of mankind NOT OF ITS MACHINES=weapons and hence avoid if it would have been taken seriously the kind of 'maximal profits' achieved when the metal-earth switches to a pure economic ecosystem of perfect machines, aka top predator weapons of maximal price and sales, as they are destroyed in war, and need to be substituted, which IS THE IDEAL state for corporations as they multiply profits in ages of world war – maximal age of profits for all companies. This is KNOWN but it is the most dirty big secret of capitalism and this brings the REASON this blog by far light years ahead of anything humans have written about SERIOUS SCIENTIFIC models of history and economics IS NOT after 30 years quoted, read, or considered by anyone on planet earth: we live INSIDE THE ORGANISM OF the Earth, dominated by company-mothers of machines-weapons and its Financial-Media Information machines or head of its superorganism (the body is the famous industrial-military system). So AS A CELL-CITIZEN of the metal-earth the inconvenient truths of a scientific r=evolution whose author sides with HIS species, when considering solutions and the praxis of its science is NOT liked, distributed and NATURALLY submitted to what I call the anti-quantum paradox of social sciences – inverse to the uncertainty principle of physical sciences, as now the observer not the observable is so small that the observable, the superorganism of company-mothers will modify his speech if he wants to be distributed. So while we do provide the solutions, we do value at face value mankind and its memes, we do NOT expect to be heard. And frankly because we are NOT heard, the system has not sent as usual in the XIX and XX c. the 'Internal leukocytes' to eliminate the unwanted 'Neo' to use a parable of Matrix.
And so we can with these points introduce very briefly the organic models of 5D applied to social sciences studied in depth in other posts…
The fractal organic Universe.
It is then easier to teach a child than a scholar which will repeat ad infinitum those earlier mistakes, a different view of reality. Fact is Reality is a super organism, where all its parts are made to the image and likeness of the whole:
SO science indeed is BOTH an instrument of power, and a form of culture, beyond the collection of data and its expression in equations, at the most basic detailed level. All what comes after – the general models of reality of each science are always biased by the power idol-ogy of the historic culture that develops them. Yet at each age of History, once the 'biased cultural model is based', its authors have claimed to be 'truth by dogma', proved through the different 'theories of the absolute of each age' – religions in the verbal age of 'Gods' and numbers in the digital age of science.
What are those 'bias' theories of reality that are necessary to refute in order to understand organic history? The obvious fact that in western history, power has been hold for most of its '800-80 years cycles' of civilizations by 'lineal warrior' power, and in recent cycles by monetary and mechanical power.
In brief 'humans have become animetal enzymen', which catalyze the evolution of lineal entropic metal-weapons, and so they 'changed the obvious fact that time-clocks are cyclical and multiple in the Universe, each species with its own cyclical clocks that regulate its life and death cycles', by a lineal, military view of time, as an arrow of entropy=death, of lineal form.
And this was the work of German, military physicists, established since the inception of physics, when instead of frequency of time cycles, Galileo decided to use its inverse parameter, lineal time duration, as its job was to measure the distance of cannonballs.
Why this is important is obvious: the super organisms of history go through cyclical processes of self-destruction called wars, and memes of metal, go in parallel through cyclical processes of evolution and without understanding cyclical time is impossible to make sense of it.
The second huge idol-ogy of western cultures today global is the concept that Space is a single continuum, and exists truly only in the human scale of size, the one that matters, while in reality, Space is scalar, fractal, broken in infinite different 'scalar sizes' which 'co-exist' together and for that reason there are 'organisms' and the Universe has an organic fractal structure, as systems change energy and information between those different sizes and scales, that put together form the 5th Dimension of the scalar Universe, ruled by a simple metric equation: the smaller a system is the faster it turns its time cycles, or clocks that carry in the frequency and form of its systems, its information – THE MISSING ARROW OF TIME in all Lineal THEORIES OF THE UNIVERSE.
So the Universe has a fractal organic structure and all its systems are build with a similar fractal organic structure, including human beings and human superorganisms, nations and civilizations studied in this blog.
The world cycle of life. Eusocial evolution
But far more relevant for the PROPER CONSTRUCTION OF AN EFFICIENT, HUMAN SUPERORGANISM, NATION OR GLOBAL CIVILIZATION IS TO UNDERSTAND THE 3 DRIVES OF LIFE that are equivalent to those '3 physiological organic dimensions' of any fractal super organism of the Universe, and conform THE PROGRAM OF SURVIVAL AND LIFE OF ALL OF THEM, WHICH WILL TRY TO absorb motion-entropy for its fields-llimbs, energy to reproduce its body-waves and information for its particle-heads, through those 3 physiological networks of 'raw materials' (the geographic land of the nation) economic re=production and informative laws. The result of those 3 primary arrows of life is a super organism, efficient and well designed, where all citizens-cells receive enough energy and information to survive, as its economic-blood and nervous-political system
Why this is important is obvious: the super organisms of history go through cyclical processes of self-destruction called wars, and memes of metal, go in parallel through cyclical processes of evolution and without understanding cyclical time is impossible to make sense of it.
Along the History of mankind and human thought there have always been two models of reality, the one that came to dominate the world, sponsored by western cultures, according to which the Universe is a mechanism as the clocks humans used to measure it at the beginning of physical sciences, and organisms are just simple mechanisms.
Opposing this view, there is the earlier scientific statement of the Greeks, before the discovery of machines, that the Universe is a rational organism and we were all made to its image and likeness. So Plato said 'the Universe is an organism with a mind called God' and Aristotle called his 'theory of unification of all sciences' and method of rational logic thought 'the organon', considering that all organisms went through 5 motions, from 'Generation', through growth and locomotion, into reproduction, and death, forming a world cycle of existence (to use the jargon of systems sciences, in which this work is based).
Because the mechanical model was easier to represent digitally and simpler to explain it became dogma, even if it was neither truth nor rationally sound. Since a machine needed a maker, human or God to be put in motion, so it was a Deist theory, something of which the founding father of physics, all pious believers in Yahveh didn't mind – only Leibniz pointed out to Newton this contradiction – while an organic theory of the Universe is self-sustained, as the Universe constantly reproduces itself. So it does NOT need a creationist God.
Here is therefore where 'culture' became science. The western abrahamic culture of lineal time, towards god, of a people chosen to progress above heavens and earth, crippled the task of resolving the more complex structure of a rational, organic Universe as ALL eastern cultures and western ones did before physicists with Christian beliefs and mechanical power imposed our view of reality, as lineal, progressing through machines, with man as a species different of the entire Universe.
ANOTHER fundamental CULTURAL SCIENCE IS THEN our view on machines, weapons and the absurd notion that they will always be good to us – merely the product of the dominance of western military nations in the shaping of culture, which now comes to its final fruition with the absurd notion that ROBOTIC weapons will be nice to us.
The opposite is truth, precisely because machines are evolving as all in the Universe as organisms and so they are ruled by the duality of behavior of species, explained in a previous graph. So the only way HUMANS COULD SURVIVE is to overcome its idol-ogies of tribal ego and work together to create a single global super organism of mankind according to the laws of systems sciences developed in this blog:
Once we accept the cyclical causal nature of time, it is easy to define what is science and what is not:
A true science is considered as such WHEN IT CAN PREDICT THE FUTURE CYCLES of the species it studies. We have been doing so with the models of systems sciences, complexity and theory of information and cyclical time for 30 years, with deadly accuracy, as we shall show in many posts and covers and graphs of old books. On the other hand economists and HISTORIANS never have predicted the future. So it is obvious that the organic, cyclical biologic evolutionary models of this blog ARE the scientific models of economics and history. No further proof according to epistemology is needed.
In the next graph a reminder of the 800-80 years cycles and the 3 languages of history that determine its life and death of civilizations, and nations, while cultures surface in the middle age of minimal metal power and maximal life memes, expressed in the classic ages of art:
In the next graph we can see the whole super organism of mankind in time, History, which as all super organisms have a clear temporal causal organization in 3 ages between birth and extinction, which can be halted IF THE SYSTEM STOPS ITS EVOLUTION OF INFORMATION, FORM, the cause of aging, and final death of any super organisms – in the case of History if it halts the evolution of the lethal memes of the tree of science, weapons and robotic AI machines, which vastly overpower human flesh in entropy and information, killing our bodies and atrophying and substituting soon our minds in labor and war fields – an impose a world ruled by the true laws of social sciences, making of man (organicism) the measure of all things, again, hence building a world based in the overerproduction of welfare goods not warfare, denying the idol-ogies of nationalism, capitalism and mechanism whose final result will undoubtedly be the creation of the metal-earth:
So this is what Mankind is: a super organism based in life, ruled by the nervous information of just laws, ideally in balance with Nature, which should use machines wisely pruning the tree of science of its bad fruits, and reforming its economic system to reproduce only welfare goods in a just real democratic system.
In the graph, the life ages of human super organisms at the individual, national and global level. As they co-exist in the surface of planet Earth, they must be inscribed within its organic evolution:
The result of the existence of 3 super organisms in relative evolution to each other, the III ages of the Earth, Gaia, the earth of life, history, the earth of man, and the metal earth the earth of machines, signifies an equation of ages of evolution:
Gaia (relative past) <History (relative present)> Metalearth (relative future)
In the graph, the key element of modern history is the evolution of machines, clearly happening with the same phases of the evolution of any biological beings, from viruses in cells to organisms in placentas. So we first made the bodies of machines in the I industrial revolution, then we made its engines and heads, metal-ears=phones, metal-eyes=cameras and metal-brains=chips, and the nations which evolved them first (US) became the leading nation of the world. Now we put them together into biological organisms of metal, robots.
The eco(nomic)system is the surface of planet Earth, co-existing in 3 relative ages of evolution of information, as a mixture of 3 global super organisms made of 3 different species: the super organism of life beings (Gaia), joined by energy networks of water and light information; the super organism of mankind in time (History) joined by economic networks of re=production of welfare goods humans need to survive and informative, legal, political and cultural networks of verbal thought, and the super organism of informative machines and entropic weapons (peaceful and top predator forms of organic metal), organized by energetic networks (oil, electricity) and informative networks of digital money – fast evolving into autonomous robots, with electric solar skins and digital, AI – Algorithms of Information.
It must be noticed though that the super organism of life, Gaia, is suffering a process of massive extinction (6th biological extinction), which clearly affects also our life-giving goods and non-technological cultures.
Knowing those facts and the laws of systems sciences, we could evolve a perfect world if scientists truly understood the biological process of the industrial revolution and control it pruning the tree of science of its bad fruits. But as company-mothers are on top and they have been designed to serve its product, the machine, man is no longer relevant to the equation of the future. Instead the earth is mutating from a world of life into a world of metal. But human egos are so huge, we think we are killing the Earth. The opposite is truth according to the laws of complexity that constantly evolves its in-form-ation in 3 ages homologous to those of life:
Gaia (life- past)> History (human earth – present) > Metalearth (Machines-future)…
Which only the scientific design of a perfect super organism of Mankind, repressing the lethal fruits of the tree of metal could abort maintaining History immortal.
Since humans have decided to evolve the superorganism of the metal-earth that will kill us all once created with AI robots with solar skins aoutnous of man, and connected telepathically through the Internet, the end of that super organism WHILE NOT DETERMINSITIC IS FIXED BY THE IDOL-OGIES OF lineal mechanicist science, placebo Capitalist democracies, which put the value of go(l)d above man, hence triggering the evolution of machines of maximal price, weapons and chip-minds before the evolution of humanity and the paradoxical ice-topping – Abrahamic religions of an entitled, superior man above heavens and earth, which therefore dismisses as 'idiocy' the concept that machines can perceive and kill us… Idol-ogies in which all human subconsciously believe and will take mankind through the paces of a 'block of time' as evolution and extinction processes are predictable.
In the next graphs we resume the fundamental laws of those scalar super organisms, from the largest one, the galaxy, to the one we live in, Gaia, a super organism evolving as all super organisms do in 3 ages or cycles, the age of Life (Gaia proper), the age of mankind (History) and the age of machines (metalife), which starts now and HUMANS SHOULD CONTROL FOR ITS BENEFIT if they want to survive as the top predator 'collective subconscious mind of this planet':
A World ruled by company-mothers of machines.
In that regard perhaps the most profound confusion the world suffers today, is on the understanding of the real hierarchical order e
stablished between the 'two words' that describe our system of political and economical government: 'capitalist democracy' and the privileges granted to the two organisms they cater for: Company-Mothers of machines, and Human families, which reproduce two different species, machines and human beings.
The free citizens of Capitalism are stock-market companies, overwhelmingly company-mothers of machines, its re=productive free citizens, whose goal in order to get profits for its stock holders on the sales of those machines, is to evolve, reproduce, and sell those machines.
The human goal of those companies affects only to the 0.002% of mankind that owns them and so it is gets profit from those sales. Yet those profits are completely irrelevant to the 99.9% of humanity affected by its real effect son the planet: to reproduce and evolve machines, terraforming in the process the world, which they adapt through laws and sales to those machines, to the image and likeness of its offspring of mechanisms.
AND BECAUSE unlike human Mothers, those company-mothers have absolute rights to credit, used also liberally to pay politicos to promote with its laws their offspring of machines, since the beginning of the Industrial r=evolution, mankind has suffered an exact non-stop generational, biological process of evolution of energies and its informative, military and transport machines, as all the resources of the planet have been geared first to that aim, and only WHAT IS LEFT-OVER, has been used to feed and reproduce and help the evolution of human-mothers, its social and family structures.
For example, the goal of mercedes for its tiny group of stock-holders is the abstract reception of profits. But the real goal of the company is to build and evolve cars, today self-driving robocars, soon to have autonomous solar skins, and construct or convince politicians to construct the networks of energy and information, roads, GPS satellites, electric grids, and oil pipes to provide energy and information for those machines in a process that is obviously absorbing resources and space, from the other life species that need them. So today cars absorb 1/4th of the maize America reproduces, and no longer feeds humans and cattle, whose food prices rise.
And the land of many cities and territories become criss-crossed and barren to be used by machines.
What about human families? Our goals of existence as human families are obviously the same than those of company-mothers regarding their machines, but focused as it should be on our children.
So what we want is to have enough energy to feed them, enough information to educate them, and terraform the world to the image and likeness of human beings, to be able to roam the planet Gaia, enjoy life and its drive of existence, evolve socially in peace with other human beings and reproduce more children.
This is exactly what company-mothers of machines are doing so successfully, evolving, reproducing and integrating into planetary social networks its machines.
But humans are failing to achieve those goals for themselves. Why? There is no computer without energy, or proper internet connection to which the economic system dedicates billions of dollars. But most humans are undernourished and information is primitive at best, when there is information at all. There is no limit to the motion of machines on planet Earth a global free market for the reproduction, evolution and transfer of machines and money from companies, but humans are limited in motions by borders, in money by the lack of any rights to invent it, which companies have.
Can the reproductive units of human societies access the languages of social power, money ad the laws, to create a real, demand-based democracy, kicking the preproduction and consumption of life goods they need to survive, and investing in a world made to the image and likeness of human beings?
The obvious truth is NOT. As today the most segregated, underfunded, with less rights, clearly unjustly treated element of our societies is the human mother, which is – let us remember it, as it seems humans have forgotten – the origin of OUR life, the bearer of our species, the fundamental element that pegs together our families, ensures our survival and happiness. So this fact seems a bit of a contradiction with the notion that we live in a democracy, the government of the people.
Therefore the big question about our system is why Company-mothers are so successful achieving their goals of evolution, reproduction and terraforming of the Earth to the image and likeness of machines? And why human mothers are so miserable? Simply enough because we do NOT live in a world ruled and dedicated to human beings.
I shall repeat it ad nauseam to counter the opposite effect of repetition of happy newspeak of freedom and optimism by company-mothers of informative machines, aka mass-media: you DO not live in a free world, in a real democracy, as you DO not rule that world. Company-mothers do; since they are the only Free citizens of free markets, with full, free access to the two languages of power of our social organisms: the economic. reproductive language of money, that can buy and sell the lifetime of both human beings and machines; and the informative, nervous language of Laws that money systematically buy to 'politicos', which don't have rights to issue money (deficit zero laws) and must extort citizens from it (taxation), while companies issue it for free in e-money derivatives and stocks.
The graph shows the consequence of this indifference of economists and its capitalist system to humanity: the 'future' head of machines, a mobile ear/camera/brain, which soon will be 'attached' to robocars and any moving camera, as a detached head, displacing all humans of labor and war fields, the iPhone is worth more than the living beings of 3 of the most populous nations of the world, still dominated by the pre-machine agricultural civilization. What this biased pricing in favor of machines tell us is that we humans are expendable and are being spent.
While in the side of humans a organization which IS submissive to the capitalist system, called Democracy, tries to make a world to its image and likeness, delivering the goods human mothers need to reproduce. And what people do NOT understand is that both mother SYSTEMS and species, and organizations are different, and while there are obvious symbiotic processes between them – as machines enhance our energy and information capacity, in most cases, SPECIALLY IN THE ROBOTIC AI AGE, when machines become autonomous species, competition is the rule of the game, and HUMANITY is loosing that competition.
The system is very obvious and simple, reason why it must be hidden behind a lot of 'placebos' like 'democracies' are – since humans have no right to issue the language of social power money, so there is no democracy, and people cannot judge a posteriori politicians, as in the original greek democracy so they don't need to fulfill their promises and can be corrupted by financiers and companies, sos there is no democracy.
So human nations and civilizations are mixed super organisms of life, History and machines, according to the 3 ages of life of this planet, and the purpose of a social scientist, would be to try them to remain so – that is to maintain History as the present dominant super organism by controlling the evolution NOT racing into a world of machines, above man – the Metal-earth.
The IDOL-OGY of power in the western world, which considers the Universe a machine, hence our evolution of machines becomes the synonymous of progress, MUST BE REVERTED TO UNDERSTAND history and economics, as TWO DIFFERENT SUPERORGANISMS, OF TWO DIFFERENT AGES OF GAIA, since machines are merely 'organisms of metal', we humans evolve by imitating our metal organs in machines, increasing our perceived energy and information but at the same time, being displaced competing with them in labor and war fields, and becoming 'atrophied' in our life organs by the use of those machines – so as we live in the age of metal-minds our sons are becoming 'stupid', atrophied by virtual screens, loosing its social, verbal and mathematical skills…

Today marks the end of one of the most memorable runs in recent comic book history. Geoff Johns announced he is stepping down as writer of GREEN LANTERN. Johns began his run in 2004 of the mini-series GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH and rebooted the world of Green Lantern for a new generation of DC readers.
Geoff Johns took a good character (Hal Jordan) and made him great after Hal's reintroduction into the DC Universe. Johns expanded on the Green Lantern world by creating a plethora of new Lantern characters from the whole spectrum of light and gave us great story lines like the Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night.
I'm really proud of all the stuff we've built with Green Lantern — from Larfleeze to the different corps...The universe has expanded and will live well past my run. It was more than just telling another story, but really giving back to the character by expanding and adding to their mythology.
Johns' last issue will be Green Lantern #20, in which he promises a huge issue, which will be drawn by Doug Mahnke. This final story will be a 64-page issue
I was getting to an end point and a story line that made sense for me. I felt like it was time to close my run and focus all my energies on the Justice League corner of the DC Universe...It was a very, very hard decision. I absolutely love these characters but I felt like I had a story line that really made sense and felt emotionally satisfying and felt very big and very epic.
Johns will continue to write JUSTICE LEAGUE and AQUAMAN. Thank to Geoff Johns for an amazing 9-year run on GREEN LANTERN and reinventing this character for a new age.
What do you guys think about this news? What's your favorite Green Lantern story from Johns' run?

Seniors Hawrot and Staller along with Freshman Brian Kaneshige were awarded for their efforts at the 2012 Ivy League Championship with First Team All-Ivy accolades. (Ivy League Athletic Communications)
Full Results
Video Highlights
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 3 Harvard men's fencing team defeated Columbia, 15-12, and Brown 18-9, completing the Ivy League championship with a 4-1 record and second-place behind Princeton (5-0). The Crimson also earned four Ivy League awards in the process.
Seniors Valentin Staller and James Hawrot, along with freshman Brian Kaneshige earned first team all-Ivy League honors in the saber, epee, and foil, respectively. Staller went 12-3 over the two-day span, missing out on sharing the individual title by a one win. Hawrot finished third in the epee field with a 10-5 mark and Kaneshige went 11-4 to finish tied for second with Columbia's Alex Pensler and Brown's Barret Weiss. Meanwhile sophomore Lucas Lin landed on the Ivy League's second team in the foil. Lin went 9-6 in the field placing sixth.
After a 2-0 start yesterday (defeating Penn and Yale), Harvard encountered a problem with Princeton who narrowly defeated the Crimson 14-13. The defeat didn't stop Harvard's confidence in day two however as it opened with Columbia and took down the Lions 15-12. With two close scores between the saber (5-4) and epee (4-5) it was the foil that carried the day for the Crimson. Kaneshige and Lin both went 2-1 in their bouts to help lift Harvard to a 6-3 advantage in the grouping and the eventual 15-12 victory.
In the Crimson's final bout of the tournament Harvard squared off with Brown. Harvard's foil and epee division dominated the bears as Kanshige went a perfect 3-0 and Lin recorded a stellar 2-1 mark earning a 6-3 advantage. Both freshman Peregrine Badger and Hawrot fought to 3-0 in the epee field earning the Crimson a 7-2 mark and helped Harvard win 18-9.
Harvard will have a quick turnaround when it hosts the Beanpot tournament at the Malkin Athletic Center on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

HOMESTEAD, Fla., Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Jimmie Johnson's ninth-place finish Sunday at the season-ending Ford EcoBoost 400 garnered him his sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.
Johnson entered the race at Homestead-Miami Speedway with a 28-point advantage over Matt Kenseth, and was among the leaders for much of the event before nearly wrecking after a bump with Kenseth.
He fought back from 23rd place to ninth, ending the season 19 points ahead of Kenseth, who finished second to Denny Hamlin in Sunday's race.
Kevin Harvick also had a shot at the Sprint Cup tile, but finished 10th, ending up 34 points behind Johnson.
With his sixth title, Johnson is one short of tying Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt Sr. for most career championships.
Hamlin, meanwhile, took his first victory of the season.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., Martin Truex Jr. and Clint Bowyer completed the Top 5.

Bala Town's European dream to be continued...
Bala Town FC marked their first foray into European competition by edging out seven-time Estonian champions FC Levadia Tallinn 1-0.
Bala Town´s Europa dream is to be continued after the win last night at Rhyl thanks to an early goal from striker Ian Sheridan.
They beat the Estonia League leaders infront of a crowd of around 1,200.
It was the first leg of the Europa League for the Welsh part-timers in the qualifying round.
The away match for the second leg is in Tallinn on Thursday, 11 July.
Bala began as underdogs but former Wales player Mark Jones had a couple of chances straight after the break to extend the Town´s lead but was denied by the Levadia shot stopper.
The visitors then glanced the post from a freekick before Ian Sheridan had a one on one with the keeper but he pulled off a magnificent save.
After 3 minutes of added time Bala held on for an incredible victory.
