BIO-HISTORY: THE ORGANISM OF MANKIND

      Bio-History studies mankind as a social organism, that requires to survive healthy energy networks, and sound verbal information. Biohistory is based in the laws of Social Organisms, and the facts of history, studying nations, small bodies of history, and mankind, under the natural laws, that create healthy organisms of history.

Planetary ecosystems and organisms

The Earth is the “organic-space”, the “body”, where human social organisms evolve. On the Earth, there has been till date 3 social ecosystems, the first to appear, “Nature”, was based in carbolife; then History appeared, based in human life, and finally the social ecosystem of Economics has been evolved based in metal-species, money, weapons and machines. Since those 3 organic systems, and species have been dominant in 3 different ages of the Earth, we can talk in fact of a mutation of the Earth's ecosystem, from the “Life-earth”, to the “Human-earth”, to the “Metal Earth”. If we study each of those 3 stages of the Earth, as a global organic ecosystem, we can easily define the ecosystems of the Earth's crust in organic terms, since each ecosystem has created different “networks of energy and information”, to cater to those species.

In that sense we can compare a human individual organism, to a collective social organism, a nation or a civilization. What those two Universal organic systems have in common? If you see the graph above, what defines both systems as organisms or organizations, are a series of common elements, so similar to individual humans and human societies that permit to study cultures and civilizations with organic laws.

Let us to that aim, understand first the generic structure of a social organism. In fact there are four basic elements in all organic living systems:

1. Cellular units. Which are cells in a human body, citizens in a human society.
2. Networks of energy or organic space. Which is the blood system in a human body, and the networks of transportation in a society, rivers, roads...
3. Networks of information. Which is the nervous system that organizes cells in a body, or the verbal/visual information that organizes human societies through laws, ethics and art.
4. Networks that reproduce energy and information. Sexual systems in individuals. In a society they are economical networks, that reproduce the object of societies, and cultural customs that define the ways in which humans reproduce themselves.

When we find those elements interconnected in a organic relationship, we talk of an “organic system”. We can see such organic systems as “bodies”, when all the cells are very close to each other, or as herds, when the cells are far away, and the networks are weak. However, we should not be cheated by the spatial appearance of the organism, but study the physiological functions of those networks and how they define societies, the roles of individuals in those societies, and their structure.

A herd of machines, a herd of insects, a human group is also an organic system, because it has cells, and networks, even if it does not seem to us a body.

What is bio-history.

 Bio-History is based in the laws of social organisms and The Laws of Social Evolution that explain how individuals of any size or species grow and evolve into macro-social organisms that efficiently distribute energy and information to the different cells of the organic society.

So if we define a human organism as a population of RNA/DNA cells, related by networks of nervous information and networks of energy-providing blood. In the same manner we can define a historic organism, as a a social group of humans related by networks of carbolife energy, or human goods, and human information or verbal/visual art and laws.

Each “social cell” of such ecosystems, each animal of a herd, each man of a village, has a organic space, his home, property and agricultural fields, or a territory, in which the animal will feed, reproduce and communicate. The common networks of energy of those organisms are the “river veins” of the Earth. The common, main network of information is the “light-rays” that inform all the cells of an ecosystem, of a nation, of the living planet.

In that sense we can talk of the entire planet Earth as a living organism that host the social organism of mankind, called History. Biologists call today such Natural organism, “Gaia”, the living Earth. And in that sense we can define a Macrocosmic human Organism as a Social Ecosystem composed of human beings, carbolife energy, and verbal and visual networks of information based in the human mind (visual arts, and verbal thought, religions, laws, and literature):

Such ecosystems are like “loose organisms” where around water-energy veins, “cells” of human life live and survive, centered in their homes as DNA molecules survive in the home-cells of a body. To do so they need to create a natural environment, in which human food (carbolife food) can be collected, where every cell has basic human property (homes, home products, clothing); where the networks of social information based in verbal thought (laws, ethics), can run all cells and solve colliding interests. Where a collective brain (government) solves those social problems, and encourages a healthy social body, promoting human goods, organizing the “social movements of the cell”, to that aim, and promoting collective goods (health-care, education, verbal learning, arts). All those conditions create a healthy organism of history as the create a healthy individual organism:

Words are therefore the “informative networks” that organizes communities of human beings, gathered around “water veins”, into the first social organisms of mankind, the river civilizations.

Thus a healthy historic society is a social organism is made of human citizens, ruled by networks of verbal information, laws, ethic systems, etc. The law is indeed the verbal nervous system of the human society. Legal mandates control the life and death of human cells, motivate or forbid certain actions, and through those actions mobilize the social body and control the human ecosystem.

Without laws we cannot understand historic organisms. Laws rule in an invisible manner the acts of people, forbidding certain acts and encouraging others. In this manner as the nervous orders of the brain guide the cells of the body, and move it at pleasure, the law designs the acts of people and controls society. In this way we can also talk of certain humans, verbal masters, who create laws, as the neuron-brains that create the nervous orders. Who are they? Religious prophets and priests, lawyers, and kings who gave law, courts and parliaments who give law today. They hold the power of societies. They are the brain of social systems. Hence the importance of politics to rule properly a human organism. We can then easily establish the elements of a human social, historic organism, that has controlled mankind for 99% of our existence, in harmony with nature and the organic laws of the Universe:

Individual cells: Human beings.
Networks of information: ethic and politic laws.
Networks of energy: Systems of reproduction of basic goods, food, farming, cattle-ranching, hunting, creation of simple tools.

We call each of those systems, a culture or civilization; i.e., a mass of human beings, ruled by networks of legal information (political and religious institution) and networks of reproduction of organic energy (property, economical goods, food).

Cultures and civilizations are the biggest organisms of History. They have grown through an entire scale of historic organisms, from simple genetic organisms (racial tribes in which words were still secondary to genetic information) to religious organisms based totally in word-networks (Christian, Buddhist, Muslim civilizations) where each believer is a cell of an organic system, where the informative network is the church and the books of revelation.

The physiological order of evolved organisms. The role of politicians and economists in a society

Political laws and economical systems that produce human-goods needed for man to survive, and behave socially in a harmonic way, are in that sense the two basic networks that regulate the health of a human society. Their importance is of course enormous, because those two systems, rule the life and death of human beings....

The vision of a nation that a bio-economist or bio-historian has is very much that of a doctor, who sees the body of a human being, as a collection of individual cells (human beings in history), joined by two basic networks, the blood network of energy -the economic network- and the nervous network of information, the legal orders that society obey. When those two networks are healthy, all the cells of your body receive energy-food and proper information, and survive.

      A bio-historian sees his nation in a similar way: as a social organism, that politicians -the informative brain of laws- and industrialists -the blood system of goods- have to keep healthy, providing the proper energy and information to all the social cells, to avoid their collapse and death by the main sickness of historic organisms: war, poverty and ignorance. To him poverty and ignorance (lack of human energy and information) are anti-natural, a symptom of physiological sickness in those two organic systems. A sign of corrupted laws, and a corrupted system of credit that both reproduce lethal goods, which the body-cells do not require, such as weapons, and limit credit and production of human goods, that cells need (education, food, housing, etc.)

 

Why social organisms are not healthy: informative networks (laws) should control energy networks (economies).

The scale of social order in the Universe is perhaps the most amazing prove that our metaphor of mankind as a Universal organism, is real. Since social evolution it is the natural law that organizes herds of beings in the Universe. From galaxies to atoms, from leaves to cells, from humans to worms, social organisms are gatherings of individual cells joined by informative and energetic systems. However some of those systems are better organized than others. Those who are better survive longer. Among animal beings the best organism is the mammal, in which the nervous system controls the blood system, in which the political law -we might say- controls the excesses of the economical system that delivers energy to our citizens/cells.

While the analogy of an individual human being and his territorial home and a DNA strain and its cellular territoryis easy to grasp, you have to meditate a little bit on human societies, to understand the “physiological parallelism” between the energy/information networks of highly evolved mammal organisms and the networks of cultures and nations, of social organisms.

The information networks of societies are made of our languages of information, which are our words, and our laws, that inform and control the behavior of people. A healthy nation, is one which has as a healthy body does, an informative, nervous-legal system that is just, that carries information to all cells, and it obliges the blood-economic system to deliver human goods to all cells. A system that is also dynamic, that can be corrected when it gives wrong orders that hurt certain cells, and it can be evolved when its laws and constitution are not fit to survive in the ever changing environment in which the organism lives... This is what a mammal system shows. Unlike a primitive worm without nervous evolution, ruled by blood flows, a complex society has informative laws to regulate the economical/blood system.

Unfortunately most of our national systems have not arrived to that degree of evolution. In most of them, the legal systems, the "Constitution" of the social body is fixed, and has not evolved for centuries. While the blood-energy system, the economic system, dominates over the nervous-legal system, as it happens in the most primitive species of animal life... Such Blood-based systems are unable to optimize resources, and distribute efficiently food to their cells, provoking bottle necks, and lack of “human goods”. Such blood-based systems, without the intelligence, and control the nervous system provides, carry all kind of products to their cells, including germs and poisonous products, lethal products, made mainly of metal, which destroy social civilizations by means of war, as metal atoms (mercury, cobalt, radiation) poisons individual human organisms. So our social organisms ill-designed are easy prey of “external germs”, metal-products that carried by “sick human beings” enter the social organism and exterminate the cells, reproducing their germ-goods as cells reproduce the virus that infect the body.

Further on without a proper nervous system, there is no way the cells can communicate to the brain his wantings and desires... Feed back is important in all organisms that work. If the cells, subject to erroneous laws and nervous messages, coming from the blood-economy could not complain and feed back the brain, when they lacked energy and information, the organism could be endangered.

A good healthy legal system, should be built on those basis. It should be dynamic, (without fixed constitutions) and easy to change when it hurts the people of the organic nation. It should strive to keep the order between the cells of the body, at the same time that it permits and encourages the distribution of energy and information among all of them. Who should be the master cells of such organism, the blood-market, or the political system? Obviously those who emitted the information, the laws, the nervous impulses that control and harmonize the cells of the body, the politicians.

Indeed, only very primitive social organisms, give to the blood system [as we do in our primitive free-market societies] higher rights in the guidance of the social organism, that to the informative centers... On that view two are the sickness of our Modern social organisms, which explains our social sickness, war, poverty, excess of legal goods, and sickness/pollution of our body/Earth:

- Politicians do not accomplish his role as brains of societies. Politicians, as the privileged makers of laws, are special cells of a society. Yet they owe themselves to the citizens they control, and they should also be punished and judged, and suffer when the people suffered, as it happens with the neurons of the brain. Otherwise when the organism goes wrong, if the brain cells could not feel the pain, they won't correct the errors, and the organism becomes sick. How to achieve that feed-back control of politicians? This is a problem of democratic societies, never solved properly that explains why our nations do not run so well as our bodies. Imagine that you step on a burning iron, and your brain does not notice. Your foot will burn, your feet cells will die, and you won't be able to move.

- Markets, the blood-systems that reproduce the energy elements of the organism, have an excess of power, and they reproduce lethal goods that kill instead of feeding the cells of our societies.

In a healthy organism of history markets should be submissive to the legal-informative systems that design the organism to cater the needs of all human cells. A healthy social organism has a form, a “constitution”, designed by the nervous-conscious system, to which the market should adapt. Only very primitive organisms on the first stages of evolution gave their blood-systems total freedom, to carry any goods they could capture and reproduce. The existence of a nervous system permits to differentiate between “positive goods”, that do not harm the organism, and “poisons”, lethal good such as weapons, or the incoming robotic revolution, that can be potential germs that kill the organism.

We call such sick social organisms ruled by markets and company-mothers, instead of legal systems, economic ecosystems. Of which the paradigm is modern America. Such systems no longer cater the needs of all cells of societies (healthy democracies) but the need of a few citizens and company-mothers that rule the organism with money.

It is indeed clear, that in all organisms -big or small, made of cells, or human individuals- each member of the organism should have according to the “natural law of organisms”, food and proper information to survive. So the nervous-legal system should create the “constitutional frame” and laws, for such things to happen.   After all every single cell of a healthy body receives from its energy-blood system, and its nervous-information system, a minimum quantity of those two precious goods needed to survive. Or else the body falls sick, and the entire organism suffers. However human beings lack those minimal goods in present societies, because our economic ecosystem is geared to produce not the goods human beings need, but the goods machines need; electricity instead of food, digital information instead of verbal knowledge; factories to reproduce machines instead of houses and hospital... The result is that

Economic ecosystems give higher power to machines and company-mothers, than to human beings.

      Machines and carbolife species, often compete for limited resources, in economic ecosystems. For example, when railroads - bodies of metal - came; they competed as systems of transportation with horses - bodies of carbolife - which became obsolete and were eliminated from the economic ecosystem in massive numbers.

      This approach means a fundamental advance for economical and historic sciences:

      We can now expand the concept of organisms fighting for energy ad information to survive, beyond the carbolife kingdom, to the world of 'metal-organisms', of machines. We can describe machines no longer in abstract, but in organic terms, and understand much better the 'real relationships of symbiotism and preying' that machines, nature, and human beings have established throughout history. Till now those relationships had been hidden by abstract economical formulas that missed fundamental facts of modern history, such as the 'massive extinction of Nature' caused by industrial processes of reproduction of machines symbiotic to men; or the creation of networks of energy and information, based in such 'organic machines', and their effects on human bodies and minds.

We can indeed talk since the Evolution of Machines started in the XVIII century of two Earth's ecosystems.

-The carbolife ecosystem, that men ruled as top predators of nature, for 2 million years.

-The Industrial ecosystem, based in metal-machines, which need different energy and information, and often compete for organic space, with species of the ecosystem of nature.

      Machines do compete with life. Machines and company-mothers, who 'reproduce them' and take care of 'the networks of energy and information of machines' have displaced natural environments and created industrial ecosystems. Forests, horses, and wild life are today substituted by networks of roads and cars...

In that sense it is obvious that since the arrival of science, and companies, reproducers of machines, the Human Earth, the ecosystem of human organisms ruled by artistic, verbal and visual information, has radically changed. Today verbal networks of information are secondary to monetary and digital networks, and networks of human energy [agricultural fields, rivers and other natural ways of communication] have been substituted by energy networks that feed machines, or allow those machines to move around the Earth (roads, pipes, electricity lines).

It is clear that the ecosystem of the Earth has changed radically, and social, historic organisms have mutated, from networks of energy and information belonging to the natural, biological languages of mankind (artistic and verbal networks, carbolife energy and nature), to networks of energy and information composed of metallic species, either money, or “metal-minds” (TV, internet networks). For that reason we say that the Earth is “changing”, “mutating” from a “soft Earth”, made of carbolife networks, to a “hard Earth”, made of machines and human beings.

The process means an entire terraforming of the Earth, caused by the machines science has invented. It implies the arrival of new organic forms, machines and economic nations, ruled by metal-networks. We talk of a new planetary Organism, the Metal-earth, which is poisoning, and extinguishing the organism of human history. Why is happening that? Because we men have been able to construct a well-working, functional, healthy organism of Global history. The consequence of our ill-designed social organisms, is that the organism of machines, the economic organism prey over the human organism.

 

THE GAME OF HISTORY: ECO(NOMIC)SYSTEMS Vs CULTURES

VS

"Cultural Organisms try to grow and multiply on Earth, confronting each other, as all organisms do: using their energy and information systems to control the other player. In biology we use simmulations of such struggles. So happens in biohistory."

 

The games of history. The paradox of History.

Look at the graphics, we have represented two nations in conflict, through some essential components of those cultures. Its organic components. Its main systems of energy and information. In both countries masses of human cells, organized by an informative system (money in America, Marxism in Cuba), control a territory its energy and defensive systems (weapons). When they confront each other they play a game similar to a fight between other type of organisms.

In history is called war.

To understand the cathaclysms of History such as war processes, we can simmulate a Game of Organic Confrontation between cultural organisms, in which each Player/culture will deploy 4 kind of chips that represent its organic power: people, ideologies, money and weapons. Those 4 elements are the informative and energetic main elements of historic and economic organisms.

If you know the rules of the game and the value of the chips you might predict the future according to the chips of each player. You can know the winner. And since the winner takes it all. You can know, the eternal question of History or any other science: What is that future? The future is the winner, the culture that wins confrontations and continues to multiply and reproduce its systems, so in a few decades Cuba will resemble more America than today's Cuba.

Yet that proposition, The future is the winner... carries also a paradox, the paradox of history, because in History the winner, looses... in the long term.

Let us try to explain this twist in Historic logic, considering other fights similar to the one between Cuba and USA.

 

Why there are fights in history? Economic Ecosystems Vs Historic Ecosystems

The confrontation in the map is a classic confrontation of history, that seems to repeat constantly: 2 nations fight an ideological fight about what is the best system to rule an organism of History. The nation that will win that particular fight seems to us clear. We are quite sure that America will survive and Communist Cuba will go. The reasons why the American system survives, and a judgment on that victory however is less clear.

Let us take an example which seems less obvious, between two ecosystems which are less confrontational:

VS

In the map a similar confrontation of history, of lower intensity. On one side America, a Free Market Society, on the other side Europe, a Welfare Society.

What both confrontations have in common? At first sight one might say that Europe and USA are hardly confronted. They have the same political system, democracy, the same economical system, capitalism, and the same culture, Western culture.

Many would even say that these two cultures are not in confrontation. But they are... The American model, the Free Market society, believes that machines even lethal machines and the company-mothers that reproduce them have total rights since both reproduce the supreme informative good of society, money. While europeans still believe that the supreme good is man itself, and the rights of man are superior to those of company mothers.

So we talk of a confrontation between a capitalist society and a mixed Humanist/capitalist society.

Europe is not like Cuba, a communist country with a Latin culture... And yet Europe seems to be between both, and helps Cuba, and rejects the most extreme capitalist measures of America.

So there is a link here, that measures a type of confrontation:

Countris that believe totally in Free Economic Ecosystems (free markets) and countries that try to protect Human Ecosystems (cultures) from the preying nature of Free markets. In one extreme America, the free economic ecosystem, where machines and money the information and energy systems of Economies, have total rights. On the other extreme Cuba, a Historic ecosystem, where machines and money have no rights, and humans are economically controlled to avoid their wanting of those goods.

In the middle Europe, where certain rights of humans are still superior to the equivalent rights of machines (so lethal machines that kill men like weapons cannot be reproduced freely)...

All of them can be conceived as partial cases of a generic confrontation:

Historic Ecosystems (cultures) + Natural Ecosystems Vs Ecosystems of machines (economic nations)

It is the Paradox of History, the eternal fight between men and machine, Nature and the tree of science...

The engine of Historic struggle: The paradox of History: Economic societies Vs Cultural societies

There have been many ways to explain those fights of history, between two sides, two kind of nations.

Authors have talked of clash between civilizations, others have mentioned the clash of social classes, religions talk of a fight between good and bad people, modern sociologists of the fight between the first world [economic nations] and the third world (agricultural nations), old ones of the fight of superior races with better metal-technology (so we call them in this web animetals) Vs inferior species (human beings without technology)...

All those topics are in fact partially truth when we observe them from the perspective of cultures as social organisms, that try to impose their information systems (which brings confrontations between monetary societies and verbal societies, from comunism to Islam), their dominant species (which confronts economic systems governed by company mothers, warrior nations governed by aristoracies).

To understand the confrontation between those two kind of societies, and even within a country like America, the confrontation between political parties, commonly called left and right, we have to accept the hypothesis of 2 ecosystems on The Earth, the Natural Ecosystem of carbolife species, made of Nature and Historic nations, and the Industrial Ecosystem made of Metal-organisms, machines, weapons, company-mothers, that reproduce them. Both type of organisms mixed with human beings form two kind of different nations or cultures, which cater to the evolution and reproduction of different species, Economic Ecosystems, or cultures of animetals in which the reproduction of machines and digital money is the confessed aim of society (Growth in GNP), and historic Ecosystems, Cultures, social organisms based in Nature, agriculture and ethic religions in which the different Social Utopias, of a happy human society is the cultural goal.

At the beginning of history most human societies were cultures, historic ecosystems. Yet in the age of Metal the first economic ecosystems appear in the Middle East. Soon Semite cultures take control with hard metal of all the first Neolithic societies, and established mixed societies, in which 'animetal castes' of warriors and traders, controlled the people. Still the inner war between both systems continuede for millenia, as Religious societies confronted castes of warriors. Christians confronted first Roman Warriors then German warriors. Latter the Christian church promoted human senses and arts, and confronted the first reproducers of machines (Galilee, and other scientists). In any other society we find the same confrontation between city people and peasants, warriors and traders that hold those cities as strongholds, and priests that established another focus of power based in verbal knowledge and ethic laws. As History progressed however the game favored economic ecosystems, and castes of warriors reached higher power. The turning point was probably the renassaince, when the single Religious authority of the pope dissapeared.

And the different castes of warriors that controlled Europe legitimized their power with the creation of nations.

So since the beginning of the Industrial Evolution of machines, the first kind of ecosystems, Economic ecosystems have become dominant, confronted and extinguished many Historic ecosystems. Yet we could trace that confrontation even further back, to a general confrontation between societies that make of money and weapons the main tool of power, and religious societies, that make of Ethic laws and Nature, the center of the society.

The confrontation at global scale: The Carbo-Earth Vs The Metal-Earth.

The Paradox of History explains a long lasting phenomena that is happening on this planet. Men who use weapons, money and machines are creating a new ecosystem that confronts in a limited space, the classic Earth's ecosystem of Nature and Human goods, represented by animal life and agricultural civilizations.

So fast it has changed this planet under the action of 'animetals' that we can today talk of the existence of two ecosystems on Earth, regulated by two different networks of energy and information.

The Ecosystem of Nature and Humans which share certain natural needs: both are reproduced and evolve socially through sex and love - feeling , and require carbolife goods. So the production of human goods (housing, welfare, agriculture, etc.), is the energy system that maintains and allows the survival of the cells of the body of History (humanity) in their multiple organic tissues (cultures). While books, art (visual perception) and literature (verbal perception), evolve the informative senses of man, and reproduce word ideas in the minds of believers, causing the informative networks of cultures. In this manner nature and History have been mostly symbiotic as men learnt to farm animal life and plants for his sustain.

The organism of Human History is better understood through such networks of information and energy: an ecosystem of cultural rites of communication and reproduction of human goods, which allows men to obtain energy, and information, to reproduce, evolve and refine their senses. This has been the nature of human History throughout most of its existence. The Human side of history that the doctors of History who should take care of our social organisms (politicians, economists) must develop. Such organism has :a verbal brain made of laws, ethics, and an ideal body, which is a Paradise of Human Goods, based on carbolife species...

On the other hand, economic societies, and their two main networks, informative money, machines and weapons, are a different organism than Historic societies with his verbal networks and carbolife species (human beings and agricultural species). Both ecosystems are made of two different atomic species, metal and carbon, and they use different energy. We talk of two ecosystems, a carbolife world, and a metal-machine world. In the next graph, we distinguish the goods of both different ecosystems. Planets of flesh, of carbolife, of nature, are planets full of human goods. Planets of metal are planets full of metal goods. Both kind of systems are different ecosystems.

One system has become the dominant system of the Earth today. It is the economic system, the organism of the economy ruled by monetary information. The other ecosystem based in the language of human power, verbal thought, and the reproduction of human goods, is becoming substituted by that economic ecosystem, that is the paradox of history which confronts both languages and species:

LANGUAGE SPECIES: MATHEMATICS WORDS TOP PREDATOR SPECIES: MACHINES. HUMANS

The II Earth: Carbolife ecosystems. The III Earth: Metalife ecosystems

In the graph we can see the clear opposition betwen both systems, and the need to take care of the Ecosystems of History if we want to survive as a species, since we do not consume electric energy, or breathe gas. Human goods should be promoted by all means, since they increase the energy and information of humanity, evolving history, and improving our life, hence improving the survival of our species. While the opposite occurs. In economic ecosystems, metal goods multiply, weapons produce war, money substitute human values, and men change their personality, dedicating all their time to improve the existence of machines while human goods become scarce.

Who wins the paradox of History

So we find in history two kind of civilizations: those who believe in love, ethics and promote human goods, religious and artistic civilizations, and those who believe in money, weapons and scientific machines, and promote war, and economic wealth. They cater to two different ecosystems: the human ecosystem of verbal information, and human goods, or point of view of human history, and the metal ecosystem of metal species and digital information, or point of view of economics.

Their opposition explains most of the events of History.

Why the ecosystem of money has won most of the battles of the previous graph?

The answer is: because unlike words which have hardly evolved since the great age of prophets, money has expanded its forms constantly, it has multiplied its species, its numbers, its quantities, and its capacity to value everything on Earth, till a point in which the hyper abundance of money and those species it reproduces in greater number, machines and weapons, have defeated the human world: a world made to the image and resemblance of the human kind and his ethic words. That triumph only can mean the extinction of human history and its species, and the creation of a new world, the metal-earth, inhabited by thinking machines, and metalife that will speak only digital languages.

In the graph, now we can explain the Paradox of America, since America is one of the nations leading the Paradox of History today. As we can see in America the game is also played within its boundaries. From the beginning there have been two clear players in the American game, cultures based in money and weapons (European cultures) confronting agricultural and Paleolithic societies. And the game favored the technological cultures that extinguished the others. Yet as Americans became themselves farmers, and attached to the land, they became themselves a relative carbolife culture, based in the fruits of the land. And again was confronted by more evolved versions of technological America developping in New England. So now the Game was played in two confrontations: The west Vs The East, and the South Vs the East. the Industrial east won both fights, against the farmers of the west, that became controlled with railroads, banks and cartels on prices, and it also won against the Colonial society in the south, which conquered again with the use of railroads. Ever since in America those who represent Humanistic cultures have diminished in front of those who represent Economic cultures that make of Money Go(l)d, and worship the machine. In the XX century this process has accelerated as America became engaged in world wars, and shifted its economical system from the production of human goods (agriculture, education, welfare) to the production of lethal machines (weapons, violent mass-media information, complex computers and robots). So today America is indeed the most important technological culture of the world, and despite the brief humanistic renassaince of the 60s, perhaps as much as 2/3rds of Americans are believers in technology in money and machines, as the supreme goods of society, despite the obvious warnings of their artists, against the possible extinction of America to his worshipped machines.

In the introductory map, Cuba Vs USA, the nation that will win that particular fight seems to us at this point clear.

Indeed the economic free ecosystem, is imposing itself over all other cultures, through the process of Globalization.

The paradox America, the civilization of the future, and the most feared nation...

So here, we are, despite the desire of many Americans that wish to have a More Humanistic culture, America is the leading economic ecosystem of the World, where company-mothers and their offspring of machines have total power. It is a totally free ecosystem of machines, a free market. Which paradoxically makes America one of the less evolved social nations of Mankind... On one hand America is at the Head of the Economical and Military world. Its weapons and money rule the economical world. There is no currency so strong as the dollar, no army so powerful as the American army.

So America survives and reproduces its culture in other nations, even against the will of those other nations.

It is the paradox of America: Why America indeed, which has so much progress, calls up so much the hate of the World?

If you would ask to the American people, and many other people from other nations, they would probably tell you, 'because America is number one, it is the best country in the world.'

Yet if you ask a Muslim, or an European Intellectual, however you will get probably the opposite answer:

'Because America is the source of all evil, because America is destroying the world".

You will be listening the two sides of the paradox of history. The point of view of a man who believes in economic ecosystems, and a man who believes in culture. For the man of the economic ecosystem, the Zoon Ekonomicon, the Animetal, who worships machines and money, America is the land of the best machines and the best money. For the Muslim, for the cultural man, who believes in a religion of social nature, and loves the classic agricultural historic ecosystems, America is extinguishing his culture, and it is not bringing a better world, but a world of machines he cannot understand, nor adapt to it.

Such contradiction between two opinions so extended in the World cannot be explained with a simple answer as Americans do today. If free markets were perfect, if free economic ecosystems of machines and company-mothers, would not destroy the environment, nature, the Human world, there would not be so much opposition to globalization.

We cannot disregard either the idea that America is at the Head of the World, and its technologies, and at the same time, the idea that America is the country less concerned with the survival of Nature, and other cultures that are not theirs. There are too many rational, intelligent people which have such confronting opinions.

Let us try the simplest definition of future is: the future is what survives and reproduces. While past is what which becomes extinguished. In history this applies as follows: Nations like America, tend to survive in History, thanks to better technology, and so by surviving, they create the future. Thus the best way to explain the fights of history between nations is to talk of the confrontation between two different organic ecosystems, the ecosystem of history ruled by verbal information, rich in human goods, and symbiotic to nature, the world of agricultural civilizations; and the ecosystem of economics, ruled by monetary information, rich in metallic goods, and symbiotic to machines, the world of cities and industrial civilizations.

We come to the conclusion that America is a paradox, that confronts totally two different visions of the World. In fact America is a paradigm of the Paradox of History, studied in this page, the game that we can trace since the beginning of History, that confronts Technological nations and Agricultural nations, nations based in digital languages and machines Vs nations based in Verbal religions and Human believers.

On the other hand the American social systems, America as a human, social organism, is extremely primitive to the point of non-existence. The American people are divided into tribal groups, classified by the oldest of all systems of human organization - race. There is no consciousness among Americans of their existence as part of an organic social body. We might say that the American people have not evolved beyond the level of the Homo bacterium, into the cellular being. As bacterium, the lowest level of social evolution in organic species, the American relies totally on himself and his weapons and money to exist in society, competing against the natural laws of social evolution [which make similar species to love each other, and collaborate for the common good]. He despises in fact those laws. He despises the people who need other people [he calls them needy], and loves the people who uses machines and money to survive [he calls them cool]. If we consider the American government and institutions, America is the country which contributes more to the extinction of life species, who pollutes more the environment, who cares less for any social organization that regards the human species as a single species, from United Nations, to International conferences to stop the poisoning of the Earth, the Ozone hole, the extension of weapons of mass destruction [of which America reproduces about 75%]. America is indeed the country which reproduces the most advanced metal-minds [chips, software, internet servers], and metal-bodies [robots, weapons]. While on the other hand is well down according to United Nations in what is called "human Development', the production of Human goods that make life easy for the human species, such as peace, health-care, environmental safety, public transport, education, arts, quality food etc.

Such paradox between the evolution of machines in America, and the Evolution of their human citizens, and their welfare, bring us to a self-evident conclusion:

America is the Economical nation of the world, that leads the transformation of the Historic, Natural Earth, into the Metal-earth. Thus according to the Paradox of History:

Maximum metal evolution = Max. Lethal goods = Minimum Human Goods = Minimal Human social evolution.

America is the less evolved human society of the so called First world, regarding the welfare and social understanding of their people. For that reason we can only understand America, if we understand the paradox of history, the fact that the evolution of  machines and money, of metal-wealth, causes the devolution of human beings, and human goods, and the destruction of the natural and carbolife ecosystems in which human beings live.

Such Paradox has been explained in the Introduction, when we related the difference between Healthy nations dedicated to social evolution and the reproduction of human goods, and wealthy nations such as America today, or Germany in the past, dedicated to the reproduction of metal-goods, money and weapons. In that path of understanding of the complex American reality we will now widen our analysis of the American nation, in the past, present and future.

According to that paradox we can say that America is both, the future of the metal-kind, of the Economic ecosystem, which has its more evolved, future species, each top predator species in America; and the past of mankind, the historic ecosystem, which has its more devolved species, its oldest species and laws still working at world level in America.

Can we prove that paradox by the facts of America?

Indeed we can. The American economy is directed by the most modern system of money [electronic money invented in 1972]. Yet the American people are governed by the oldest system of ethic and legal words, in the world [the Old Testament Ethics, with near 3200 years of age, the oldest constitution at work, with more than 2 centuries, laws which are not unified in codes, and accept in fact the legal system of colonial even pre-industrial Britain].

Plainly the American economic systems are in the future, precisely because the American social institutions and religions are in the past; and so money and machines have total freedom, in as much as human social beings, are living in total chaos, ruled by obsolete laws and institutions that have no power whatsoever to control for the benefit of its citizens, the economical ecosystem of America.

We talk of a total free market, of a total economic system, in which the organs of reproduction of machines, company-mothers, have absolute power to rule America. And so they maintain for their own interest, the most obsolete social system of the Western World, to prevent any control of their lethal goods, and grip over the American society.

What this means of course is that the American economy has freedom to evolve and reproduce all kind of machines, a complete free ecosystem of machines, a future for the metal-kind, regardless of the side effects, of the extinctive effects it will cause that metal-kind future among human beings, and nature.

Metal Species Against Human Species

The confrontation between both kind of networks and species, metal-networks and natural networks is self-evident. Words and money have different values. Weapons “extinguish” life, and “energize” the evolution and reproduction of machines which increases in war. On the other hand, men are killed by war. We can express this in a formula, the Paradox of History:

Max. war=Max. metal evolution=Max. Human devolution=Min Human Goods.

Creation of the economic ecosystem = Extinction of the carbolife ecosystem.

In biological terms we say that metal energy preys on human energy, the bodies of cellular men. Does money also prey on verbal information? Does money corrupt ideologies of verbal thought? It is obvious that money and the species it helps to reproduce (weapons, metal-communicators such as TVs) prey on and substitute verbal ethics, and religions of love... Ethics and Economics have always been opposed. In History metal-species created by man, prey on Human verbal networks and cultures.

Technological nations are by essence, in scientific=evolutionary terms evil=extinctive civilizations. For example Nazis “extinguished” millions of humans, despite the fact that “technology” never evolved more during history than in Germany during the ages of Prussian militarism and its later decadent version, Nazism. Germany split the atom for the first time and bred the people who invented the A-bomb. They developed modern chemistry, modern physics, most of the present machines, the first digital computer.

They were the embodiment of the scientific method. Metal-Historians who think metal only means progress for man, have always been puzzled by such contradictions. Was Germany a great or a bad nation? Biological history explains it without contradiction, through the paradox of History. Nazis were nazis precisely because they were the most technologically evolved nation, where verbal truths of History were more corrupted, and social evolution totally ignored. Where only animetal ideologies, such as the economic ideologiesof the present world were considered true. A warning for nations who put technology and science over human rights and ethics, such as America today.

 

The American economic ecosystem: The future

It is now when we can answer the first questions of the game.

Even if a country like Cuba has many deffects it is a country full of human goods, and its extinction is just another case of the constant extinction of cultures based in legal, verbal or ethic systems of information, instead of money.

While America is the nation at the Head of the evolution of machines.

However despite the common belief that praises so much America as the best nation of both, there is also in the entire world and among many Americans a fear, that the extreme defence of Free economic ecosystems (free markets) taking place in America, is not so positive for mankind. Since lethal goods, goods that attack the basic rights of mankind grow there without limit.

Hence the contradiction many people observe regarding America. America is the strongest economic nation, yet because it allows the growth and evolution of lethal goods that degrade or destroy human bodies and minds (weapons, robots, digital languages that substitute human ethics by the ethics of war and greed proper of machines, etc.), we observe many degraded human beings.

Indeed, the destructive effects of the Free Economic Ecosystem, and the lethal effects of certain machines over mankind are all too obvious among the American people. And yet why if those machines are bad for mankind, they still exist?

To clarify that contradiction, instead of the abstract word better for the American system, we rather use the scientific concept of evolution. There are not better products, but more evolved products. Better is an individual value. I have an old BMW cabrio, and yet it seems to me the best possible car. But there are few old BMW cabrios, because modern BMWs are more evolved, and have extinguished the old BMWs.

The metal-kind, top predator species

Evolution in that sense controls the future of species, because in the future only evolved species survive....

To understand how the future of species is created we will have to bring here a more sophisticated concept of time, that the concept of clock-time most people use: the concept of evolutionary time, or biological time.

In evolutionary theory there is a proverb: "The future belongs to top predators".

Top predators, we might clarify, are species that possess better bodies of energy or minds of information that they use to kill and abuse other species. So man kills through his mind and the machines he does. Lions kill with their efficient bodies. Both are top predators, and they kill weaker species, and reproduce on the organic space of their victims.

This happens in any ecosystem:  the top predator designs the future, because he controls his environment with his actions. The top predator eliminates his rivals, and reproduces his offspring in that environment.

As a result in a few centuries the environment is designed to the image and resemblance of the top predator. The forest becomes a savanna, because elephant top predators destroy trees. The flows of animals in that savanna move to the tune of lions that hunt. When the lion hunts the entire savanna moves. When he sleeps the savanna, feeds. Man designs the earth and kills forest that become wheat. Today machines design the Earth ecosystems, as company-mothers design nets and highways for their offspring.

The future becomes the organic space, the environment of the top predators. That is why 'the future belongs to top predators'.

 This also happens among economic ecosystems, social organisms  of machines and animetals, men symbiotic to machines, that we call nations. The top predator nation which has more efficient systems of information-knowledge and energy-weapons defeats and expands its systems to other nations.

This is what happened between America and Russia first, today between America and  the rest of the World. America as an economic ecosystem has colonized ideologically and economically the world with his information products - computers, networks - and his energy-systems for machines [weapons more powerful than those of the rival nations.]

Yet by the paradox of history, because this implies that their social and human systems are devolved, preyed by monetary values, and machines that atrophy the minds and bodies of American consumers, Americans as a people are despised, feared, even hated by many other people who sees on them a mirror of their devolved future. Europeans and Chinese are afraid that their children will be non-thinking, non-verbal children as Americans are. They fear TVs no longer parents will educate them. They fear they will according to the messages of TVs, become violent, selfish, unsolidarious, mere consumers and workers of the economic ecosystem. So they hate 'America'. And yet the American products come and colonize Europe. The re action against the Americans is even stronger in the oldest Human societies such as Islam, agricultural societies that have not entered the age of machines, the Industrial Evolution, and so confront directly for their survival as societies, the American model. Yet America sells them weapons and if needed, use those weapons against them... In this manner the fundamental confrontation of this planet today, between economic ecosystems and historic societies keeps favoring the economic ecosystem, by the power of weapons and money... that keeps winning battles against the power of human beings and words of social love, and survival wisdom.

So today, willingly or by force of facts, all nations - even China - imitate or rather buy, in a worldwide free market, ruled by stock-money, the American cultural, political and social models. We conclude that in the ecosystem of history and economics - the entire world - today there is a nation, top predator, which controls the languages of information and power of human societies. That nation is America.

So the future of America, the top predator economic ecosystem, becomes the future of the other nations of the world. Since America imposes its machines, fashions, metal-culture, and laws to other nations.

As we said this happened in the past with other top predator economic nations, since Holland invented the modern economic ecosystem. The future of Holland first, then England that imitated Holland, was the future of the world, because  the English culture of the XIX century controlled the languages of Information and energy power of metal- societies - International trade, financial systems, and a military system based in the most evolved metal-machine of the age, the gunboat. Those systems were more advanced in England than any other country, and so the British animetals dominated with them the rest of the nations of the world. Today that role is played by the American 'stockracy'. So the future of the American stockracy is the single element that determines in greater measure the future of other economic societies, despite the growing protest of the Human beings that see the final consequence of this: the extinction of history by the machines that American company-mothers first, and then the rest of the word reproduce.

So we have found the clue to the future of the Earth, which is power to impose it, through systems of information and energy of constructive and destructive nature.

We conclude that the world has a direction of future, pointed out by America. The rest of the World looks to America, as a guide for his future, and America calls the shots, because America has the machines of information and energy systems, more complex of any nation. In that sense America is indeed, the number one of the world. Yet the Americans are perhaps the most unhappy people, because they are today the ones that foresee closer the extinction of mankind, of their future generations, of their sons, to the hands of evolved robots, of machines of the future that prey and have always preyed on the American people. Hence America reproduces in their artistic forms, films about the extinction of mankind, and the most intelligent Americans feel that extinction much closer than any other nation...

It is that extinction unavoidable? Thus have the future only a path? It does not.

Since Time is multiple. Since you can go back in the evolution of machines, and so change the path of Time... Yet only Americans can do that, as long as they rule their company-mothers... and government.

Unhealthy lethal America, and the suffering of its citizens.

We have so far answered the first question:

Is America the best of worlds, or merely the most evolved metal-society?

 Is America good or bad, an 'alien' or an 'angel'?

America today is an alien nation. it is the future of metal-kind, it is bad=extinctive as an alien ecosystem to man. Yet the Americans are good people, are human people, and they are the first victims of the American economic ecosystem, that today degrades so many Americans by producing lethal goods in excess, and very few human goods that the American people need. This is what most people forget when judging Americans. America is the product of evolution of an ideology: A free ecosystem of machines in which machines and company-mothers have more rights than human beings. That extreme concept of economics, economic fundamentalism, we might say is bad for America and the rest of the world. It is the origin of the great errors and dangers against our species we are witnessing today, in America.

We are not trying to be here polemic. Another definition of the future that we often ignore is:

"You can only be sure about a thing of the future: in the future you will certainly die." Heavy thought indeed, bun inescapable.

So in terms of health we could ask ourselves: it is the future of man, the future of America a healthy place to be.?

This seems a question more proper of a doctor than of a sociologist, however it is a proper question since nations do have in fact an structure very similar to that of an organism, and so we can talk of the health of societies, not only of its wealth in money and machines, elements of power of such societies.

In that sense America is the unhealthiest nation of the world, in which the sickness of lethal weapons, and lethal machines is more extended.

America is a mirror of the lethal future that awaits mankind under the rule of machines living in a free market, in a free ecosystem of company-mothers. America is a mirror of races that shows the  future path of economical societies to all other nations.

The future is where we will spend the rest of our lives. So we are always interested in the future of America. We look to America to find the clues on that future.

In the same way that to understand the XIX century we had to understand England, since what happened in England happened later on in the rest of the world, today what happens in America - the ideas and products of America - happen in the World with a difference of years or decades.

Those two elements of economical societies, the ideas about how to rule nations, and the products nations create, are the 'software' and 'hardware' of the future, what changes in our reality. People also change, each generation, but their races, and genetics stay more or less the same. Not so, their ideas, and the machines that surround us - the substance of which the future is made.

On those reasons, till recently it could be argued that the future of America was only one of the two futures History was searching for.

Since there were other ideas, about what products and goals a human society could have. There was communism, a system with different ideas, trying to create a different future, and social-democracies, a milder European version that tried to create a future to the image and resemblance of man, based in Human goods and the evolution of history.

Yet since the end of communism, and the destruction of social parties in Europe by market economics in favor of free ecosystems of machines, it seems there is no other system that pretends to construct the future of the Earth, that the metal-ecosystem promoted by America - the total free market. So now we look only to America to think about our future, as workers and consumers of machines, in this XXI Century.

Why America defeated social systems

Why America and not Russia or Social Democracies, the European Union model, have won that race to create the Earth's future?

Because animetals, men who worship machines, have the added power of those machines to impose themselves over human beings and human goods.

Weapons are stronger than the bravest soldiers. Chips calculate better than the smarter man. So Animetals, whatever their individual quality as human beings is, are more efficient in terms of power, than human beings.

The catch of course is that animetals degenerate as human beings, when they rely on machines. So today Americans have won the battle against human societies based in human goods, yet their people are degenerating fast, as their machines think for them, and their cars move them, and their military weapons show the 'bravery of soldiers', they increasingly lack. In this manner the victory of the company-mothers of America, is the defeat of the American people, which become less humans, devolve socially and individually as Human Beings, because they give all, the work only for their machines, the real citizens of modern America. Witness if not the last elections: machines have been appointed the rulers of the American democracy. Despite the fact that they rejected thousands of votes, and so they went against the rights of Americans to elect their president, the Supreme Court has decreed that it is against the 'American Constitution', to let people count votes, instead of machines. Now the American presidency plans to put the atomic arsenal of America, in the hands of computers and satellites, that will decide in the future when and how to throw atomic bombs, instead of the American military. Today in America the stock-market and the mathematical laws of evolution of machines that rule the stock-market decide what Americans consume, what laws the American politicians pass on....

America is becoming indeed the first dictatorship of machines over human beings, in the world. The paradigm of the future of men... as slaves of an economic ecosystem.

Unfortunately America has defeated Social Europe because its products and metal-minds were better. And so now it imposes his metal-minds and pro-machine messages, and products to the world. Those who resist American machines, have to face its revenge, a challenge coming from weapons belonging to the future, which is by definition a more evolved place, a more powerful place than the past.

Discontinuous time.

We could indeed, wonder a little bit further and question us; why not all countries of the world are like America, are homogenous in temporal evolution, how they have resisted and avoided the evolution of machines? Why America seems the future of machines, and in comparison Africa for example seems the past of machines?

The reason is that beyond the surface of clocks, time is a complex phenomena, a relativistic phenomena. In words of Einstein, time is 'local'. This means that each zone of the Universe has a certain degree of evolution, of time. So some regions are simple, live in a relative past, and some are complex, live in a relative future.

Some nations jeep institutions of the past and survive, and some other do not.

Time is in biology a discontinuous phenomena. I have dealt with that theme in other books, such as 'The evolution of time", so we will not bring here an exhaustive analysis of the discontinuities between regions of past, and regions of relative future. One example should suffice. Look at the sky in the night. What do you see? The form of present stars? Wrong. You see the past, because you see light coming from very far away... And it took so much time to arrive, that what you see is the past.

So there are beings, systems, social organisms and nations [historic organisms] which have more evolved machines than others.

Such societies have an advantage thanks to that machines. So, they might extinguish other nations. Then people become transformed in the other nation, as the molecules of a dead body become transformed into the strongest species that preyed on them.

Then the old nation becomes a replica of the top predator one. Let us see an example: America was the future economy in the XX century. Russia challenged America and lost. Now Russia has been colonized by TVs, capitalism, and big companies imitating the American society.

 If you do not imitate but challenge the structures of the most evolved economy in history you are defeated and extinguished, often by war. Then also the individual cells, die.

So the American Indians that did not imitate the British civilization died away.

Both ways the society changes. If you imitate the top predator, you extinguish your culture, if you challenge, you die. Japan also challenged America and lost a war. Then she imitated fully American society and now Japan is a mini-version of America.

In this manner the economic future imposes itself biologically among societies. People intuitively know that. So when we go to simple societies we think rightly we 'are in the past'. This fact is what imposes America to the world. This fact is what makes America the empire. However the result of this fact is that an ugly world of machines is born. The result of this fact is the contradiction between America as a world of machines, and the difficult life of Americans as human beings.

Only if Americans could understand that contradiction they could stop the preying of their machines over the world, and control history for their own benefit.

If Americans live under the American dream, the mirage of empire, the belief that their machines help them not only to destroy the world, but to be happy, they will merely commit suicide with mankind, by worshipping their machines.

An extreme example; in the film 'Alien' the alien species is a very evolved species, but you won't like to be around, because 'alien' is bad. The android does not realize and saves alien, and dies. Ripley understands it, kills Alien and survives.

And so we will leave a question unanswered till the last chapter of Future, when it will answer itself:

Will America realize and stop the economical future on time, or it will worship 'Alien species' and die when those species reach enough strength to challenge American humans?

 

Meanwhile the old battle goes on:

Indeed, because the Game is History itself:

The game throughout history: Animetals Vs Human History

There have been always two different ecosystems, and ways of understanding History, the way of Religious and Artistic societies, and the way of "metal masters" [scientists, warriors and money-makers] that use a species of metal (weapons, coins or machines) to organize societies - hence the biological name of Animetals we apply to them in this web. Let us resume that fight, in a paradoxical wave with two sides, the side of Human goods and Human masters, and the side of Metal goods and metal masters, “animetals”, biological species that are half human, half metal, because they rely of weapons, money and metal-minds to “be”. In the graph, History confronts two ideologies, with different goals of survival: life based cultures, that promote human goods (life goods) and social evolution (love religions) Vs metal based cultures and metal-species backed by animetals (warriors of lineal metal, traders of cyclical metal and scientists of complex metal) that promote Social Darwinism, competence between humans and the evolution of metal. It is the paradox of History that opposes Economics Vs History:

The fight between Verbal Religions and ecosystems based in Human Goods VsEconomic ecosystems continues, now at national level:

Spain+Portugal (Catholic Culture) Vs England +Holland (first culture of companies)

France (Renasaince Culture) Vs England (First culture of companies)

The World (Agricultural cultures) Vs Europe (Industrial culture)

Comunism (Verbal Ideology) Vs Capitalism (Monetary Ideology)

Islam (Verbal Ideology) Vs (Capitalism) Monetary Ideology.

In that game America is obviously one of the leading Digital Economic Ecosystems of the World, that has preyed in History over many Human cultures, some from America, Some from Africa, some from Europe itself. Thus while America, is clearly an economic ecosystem, its cultures are not, but rather very complex mosaics of Humanistic cultures, Go(l)d religions, and Neolithic ones:

 

 

The confrontation of cultures in history: The Carbo-Earth Vs The Metal-Earth.

How many cultures there have been in History, and how many cultures remain today? This is an old question hardly understood by previous abstract historians, that now can be ordered in a rational manner, if we understand, The Paradox of History explains a long lasting phenomena that is happening on this planet. Men who use weapons, money and machines create certain type of cultures, "metal cultures", that normally oppose to men and cultures who use words and natural goods to organize societies. In the graph two modern examples of those 2 types of cultures: America, today ruled by weapons and money, which buys laws and politicians, and The European Union, still ruled by verbal laws, though evolving towards the American model, as a corrupted democracy.

In fact, we can consider the different cultures throughout history, since the end of the Neolithic, to belong basically to one of those two types. What we shall call a culture of the Carbo-Earth, based in verbal laws, and human goods, or a culture of the Metal-earth, based in weapons, machines and money, that creates a new ecosystem. Since both cultures try to reproduce in a limited space, the classic Earth's ecosystem of Nature and Human goods, represented by animal life and agricultural civilizations, the result is a constant struggle between both type of cultures origin of most wars of History.

We call metal-cultures Economic Ecosystems, and those humans who ador the icons of that culture, money, weapons and machines, and have little respect for the previous ecosystem of nature, and neolithic, or religious civilizations, Animetals.

So fast it has changed this planet under the action of 'animetals' that we can today talk of the existence of two ecosystems on Earth, regulated by two different networks of energy and information.

The Ecosystem of Nature and Humans which share certain natural needs: both are reproduced and evolve socially through sex and love - feeling , and require carbolife goods. So the production of human goods (housing, welfare, agriculture, etc.), is the energy system that maintains and allows the survival of the cells of the body of History (humanity) in their multiple organic tissues (cultures). While books, art (visual perception) and literature (verbal perception), evolve the informative senses of man, and reproduce word ideas in the minds of believers, causing the informative networks of cultures. In this manner nature and History have been mostly symbiotic as men learnt to farm animal life and plants for his sustain.

The organism of Human History is better understood through such networks of information and energy: an ecosystem of cultural rites of communication and reproduction of human goods, which allows men to obtain energy, and information, to reproduce, evolve and refine their senses. This has been the nature of human History throughout most of its existence. The Human side of history that the doctors of History who should take care of our social organisms (politicians, economists) must develop. Such organism has :a verbal brain made of laws, ethics, and an ideal body, which is a Paradise of Human Goods, based on carbolife species...

On the other hand, economic societies, and their two main networks, informative money, machines and weapons, are a different organism than Historic societies with his verbal networks and carbolife species (human beings and agricultural species). Both ecosystems are made of two different atomic species, metal and carbon, and they use different energy. We talk of two ecosystems, a carbolife world, and a metal-machine world. In the next graph, we distinguish the goods of both different ecosystems. Planets of flesh, of carbolife, of nature, are planets full of human goods. Planets of metal are planets full of metal goods. Both kind of systems are different ecosystems.

One system has become the dominant system of the Earth today. It is the economic system, the organism of the economy ruled by monetary information. The other ecosystem based in the language of human power, verbal thought, and the reproduction of human goods, is becoming substituted by that economic ecosystem, that is the paradox of history which confronts both languages and species:

Max. war=Max. metal evolution=Max. Human devolution=Min Human Goods.

Creation of the economic ecosystem = Extinction of the carbolife ecosystem.

 

In biological terms we say that metal energy preys on human energy, the bodies of cellular men. Does money also prey on verbal information? Does money corrupt ideologies of verbal thought? It is obvious that money and the species it helps to reproduce (weapons, metal-communicators such as TVs) prey on and substitute verbal ethics, and religions of love... Ethics and Economics have always been opposed. In History metal-species created by man, prey on Human verbal networks and cultures.

Technological nations are by essence, in scientific=evolutionary terms evil=extinctive civilizations. For example Nazis “extinguished” millions of humans, despite the fact that “technology” never evolved more during history than in Germany during the ages of Prussian militarism and its later decadent version, Nazism. Germany split the atom for the first time and bred the people who invented the A-bomb. They developed modern chemistry, modern physics, most of the present machines, the first digital computer.

They were the embodiment of the scientific method. Metal-Historians who think metal only means progress for man, have always been puzzled by such contradictions. Was Germany a great or a bad nation? Biological history explains it without contradiction, through the paradox of History. Nazis were nazis precisely because they were the most technologically evolved nation, where verbal truths of History were more corrupted, and social evolution totally ignored. Where only animetal ideologies, such as the economic ideologiesof the present world were considered true. A warning for nations who put technology and science over human rights and ethics, such as America today

 

So we find in history two kind of civilizations: those who believe in love, ethics and promote human goods, religious and artistic civilizations, and those who believe in money, weapons and scientific machines, and promote war, and economic wealth. They cater to two different ecosystems: the human ecosystem of verbal information, and human goods, or point of view of human history, and the metal ecosystem of metal species and digital information, or point of view of economics.

Their opposition explains most of the events of History.

Why the ecosystem of money has won most of the battles of the previous graph?

The answer is: because unlike words which have hardly evolved since the great age of prophets, money has expanded its forms constantly, it has multiplied its species, its numbers, its quantities, and its capacity to value everything on Earth, till a point in which the hyper abundance of money and those species it reproduces in greater number, machines and weapons, have defeated the human world: a world made to the image and resemblance of the human kind and his ethic words. That triumph only can mean the extinction of human history and its species, and the creation of a new world, the metal-earth, inhabited by thinking machines, and metalife that will speak only digital languages. As a result of this facts, today, the entire World belongs to a single culture, with perhaps the exception of Islam, however corrupted and in the hand of inquisitions (metal-religions that forget the meaning of love and social evolution all together, substituted by the arrogance of the warrior, son of God.)

The Great cultures of History.

Still throughout History we can consider that there have been many civilizations in between the great ages of war that destroyed them, of human character, based in verbal and ethic laws, and human arts. And even today, there are remains of those civilizations in the Global Metal-Earth, which explains the differences in political, economical and artistic systems in modern countries.

In general we can establish in that sense a differenciation of modern cultures according to the level of "animetalization", of the culture, which depends in itself on how socially evolved, and old the culture was before the Industrial Age came in.:

- Islam, a civilization based in verbal thought, in a subjective religion Islam, which however is broken in multiple animetal nations, ruled by military caudillos or inquisitorial churches. Still the cohesion of that civilization is surprising, and the resistance of Islam to die, as a collective God, of a Neolithic culture, proves the resiliance of mankind, as a species that tries to survive even in the middle of the most dreary conditions. It should not surprise us that Islam encompasses today the oldest agricultural social civilizations of the Earth, Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus, and Bengal, which have been for so long word cultures that today resist digital science to a higher degree than any other culture.

- Black Africa, the first human civilization whose origin comes back to the Paleolithic, evolved latter into an objective religion of the living Universe, Animism. As in the case of Islam, his old, verbal nature, and minimal technological development, made it an earlier victim of the first Industrial civilizations, which massacred their people and converted them in objects, cargo for the first gunboat machines. For that reason as Islam, Black Africa is today corrupted, divided into animetal nations, ruled by warriors to the service of Industrial nations, that oppress the common people, and despise their own culture.

- Latin America, a civilization mixture of an earlier animist, Asian culture, and the most social, evolved religion of the west, Gospelian christianism (in its Catholic branch). As such it is also a verbal civilization of remarkable organicism, closer to the Animetal world, than Africa or Islam, due to the Hispanic, European influence. And yet again, as an agricultural verbal civilization it has been prey of the Industrial World, which broke the original Spanish empire, and divided it into statelets run by corrupted militaristic dictators to the service of the Anglo-Saxon, Animetal culture, first England then the U.S. Again the immense suffering of the common people in this civilization contrasts with their organicism, and life wish, that manifests as in Black Africa, in their music, sensuality, and pleasure for the wor(l)d.

To a certain extend we can consider those 3 civilizations, still verbal civilizations, as most of their people are believers in a verbal god of social nature.

- India, a melting polt of earlier human cultures, which has achieved in that mix, perhaps the highest spiritual perception of the Game of Existence of any human culture. Today however it is moving fast, due to the influence of colonial Britain, into the World of Industrial cultures, and yet the mosaic of earlier human verbal cultures remains hidden in the thousands of villages that spread across the country.

Finally there are 3 other civilizations, that have definitely accepted the Metal-Earth as their collective goal, and are moving fast towards the 3rd Industrial Evolution of robotic machines and metal minds.

- Europe, a civilization still ruled to a certain extend by verbal laws, in which art and human senses, are still revered, but increasingly blurred under the influence of America, and the metal mind, into a culture of company-mothers. Europe is a civilization that can be divided itself in 3 subcultures. Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, both due to the influence of social religions, cultures in which human senses are still important, and a collective sense of social life still exist. And Northern, Protestant Europe, the original culture that invented the Machine, and has made of go(l)d, the god of mankind.

- Far East Asia. A culture that has fully adopted the Industrial evolution and due to the informative nature, of the Mongolian race, is evolving machines much faster than the original culture of Europe. Their old human cultures, based in the objective religions of the natural Universe, Buddhism and Taoism, have been destroyed by Communism (an aborted culture that worshipped machines and weapons), and different types of nationalisms (Japan, Korea).

- The Old British Empire (Jewish-Protestant civilization). The old British Empire, is the first civilization invented by company-mothers of machines, which at a certain moment of History owned those countries and designed them to be efficient as reproductive systems of machines. To that aim they eliminated most of the human elements of their culture (social religions and ethics, quality of human sensorial experiences, from food to artistic goods etc.), and converted all men in consumers and workers. Company-mothers in those countries rule through money their political and economical systems, that are designed to evolve and reproduce machines at all costs, including war, and breach of elemental human rights. However, since machines seem to be today the only evolving species in this planet, the Old Testament culture of Go(l)d believers, now a digital culture of machines, is today the world dominant culture, erasing all other cultures, that are becoming also part of the Metal-Earth. In that sense though dominant and admired worldwide, the American civilization cast a shadowy future for mankind, as it runs down the niagara of Robotics and the militarization of its economy. It will be without doubt the culture that will give birth to the Robotic revolution that probably will end with mankind. In that sense even though there are other dangerous militaristic cultures (notably inquisitions and dictators of the third world, terrorists and rogue states, from Israel to Iraq, very much alike despite their mutual hate, only in America, weapons evolve as top predators, towards consciousness as a species...)

Though the Company-Mothers culture is erasing all other cultures, that become mere tissues of the Metal-Earth, those are still today the main 7 civilizations of mankind, which can be further divided then into mixed cultures, and subcultures according to energy-information parameters and specializations as all in the Universe.

For example if we consider the Far East civilization, the South East is a mixed culture in which Islam, China and India have all influenced the culture giving way to a fascinating melting pot. If we consider the Northern countries of the Far East, and how the "Law of Creation" has differenciated them in informative or energetic subspecies, China is the informative subculture, based in trade, and Korea and Japan, the energy cultures based in weapons. Yet even within one of those subspecies we can find regional differences, so Northern China is a war zone, closer to the lineal steppes of horse warriors that invaded it, and South China is a trade zone, where coins were invented around 3000 years ago...

Again any of those 7 fundamental cultures of mankind have gone through the different cycles of evolution and reproduction of weapons that destroy civilizations through different ages, and sub-cultures. In our example China was first a Paleolithic culture, then under influence of Northern Thailand, it became one of the earliest agricultural civilizations, with hardly any use of metal, developing perhaps the most accurate verbal description of the living Universe (Taoism). Yet around 300 BC, China received iron, and cavalry weapons from the West and became within decades an animetal empire, (killing in the process 1/4th of its people). As such China would enter the cycles of creation and extinction of cultures regulated by the evolution of weapons till in the XIX century enters in contact with Europe and the Human baroque. For a century China has fought to keep its identity as a culture of words, experimenting with the most verbal strain of the Industrial Civilization, communism. But finally in the past 3 decades it has fully embraded the digital culture of the West, and it is now one of the foundations of the Metal-Earth... As we build up this web, to show the organic and organic elements and cycles of human social organisms we will analyze all those cultures, and their artistic and technological remains, as they went through periodic phases of birth, maturity and extinction under weapons of mass destruction.
