THE EVOLUTION OF KNOWLEDGE: THE VERBAL, MATHEMATICAL AND LINGUISTIC METHOD
The laws of God are written in many languages, but all refer to the bio-logic of the Universe. Why science fails to grasp the Logic of the Universe...? Mathematical reductionism In science an error is the part of reality a theory, measure or discipline fails to grasp with accuracy. In that sense all sciences have errors, as all of them have a wide range of phenomena partially or still unexplained. However most sciences do not recognize those errors, and so cannot progress in their inquire. Why? In a simple word: Mathematics, and the limits of mathematics to describe the Universe. On
one hand the excessive emphasis on mathematics considered by many scientists
the only language of truth that can describe the laws and properties
of reality limits a lot our capacity to understand the universe. Mathematics
describe very well the... mathematical properties of the Universe. As
light describes very well its visual properties, or verbal theories
such as evolution, describe better its temporal properties. However
when we apply those languages to matters for which they are not built,
the results are poor. And so when we apply mathematics to understand
the events and temporal forms of the Universe, the result is a series
of basic errors in our conception of the Universe. The Linguistic Method It is much more logic to consider in our search for knowledge, the 'Linguistic Method', that considers all the information man gathers with all his languages. The linguistic method tries to perceive all the properties of the Universe, with different languages. When different languages describe the same properties it means we have found a certain truth, and illuminated our understanding of reality far more than when we simplify the Universe into a mere set of abstract numbers. Our mind is modular. It comes from the combination of multiple senses, languages, and states of perception. So it should be our perception of the Universe. Instead the 'scientific method', in the way it is understood since Galilee, makes reality as simple as the syntax of mathematics: a game of abstract, dead points without parts, whose inner parts, inner feelings, instincts of survival, perceptive capacity, and minds we don't care for. The evolution of knowledge is evolution of the languages of the mind What is human knowledge? Knowledge is the accumulation of information about The Universe with the human mind. What is then the human mind? Here is when an objective analysis brings a rather simple, yet enlightening answer: Your mind is an organic system that processes languages of perception. Those languages of perception are basically two: sight and sounds, from where two languages of knowledge were born: numbers and words. What do numbers and words, eyes and sounds perceive? Eyes and numbers perceive space. Verbal words and sounds perceive time. Words are verbal constructions that talk about events in time. Mathematics are geometrical games that explain events in space. So we come to the conclusion that the human mind is a 'being that exists in space and time' and so he perceives space and time. You are a mind that perceives time and space. That is the nature of your existence. You perceive time with words, with verbs. You perceive space with eyes, with images. That is your connection to The Universe. The evolution of the human mind, of our words of comprehension of time, and our perception of images [either through art, or mathematics], is the very essence of knowledge. So to know, is to develop the two languages of the human mind, words and images, and the comprehension they bring us of the events of time, and the forms of space... Once this is clear it is easy to understand knowledge and science as a process of evolution of human languages, and the information we collect with those languages. The 2 ages of Science. The 2 ages of knowledge History does not evolve human bodies, but
human languages. This is evident. Our species exists without real changes
of morphology for around 100.000 years, since the arrival of verbal
languages. It is then verbal and visual-mathematical knowledge, the
virtual worlds and the mind of man what evolves in history.
The age of words In the age of words, man tries to explain the changes that take place in space and time, using names [which design beings that exist in space] and verbs [which design actions that take place in time between beings of space, using past, present, and future verbs]. The result is the existence of a certain 'Universal grammar', or 'verbal syntax' common to most verbal expressions: Name [subject], verb, Name [object]. That verbal syntax basically says that all events in the Universe relate two species or forms of space (names), through processes of communication (verbs) that takes place in time. It also says that man [the subject] is the center of all those sentences, the actor of the verb, and hence man is the center of the Universe. Verbal syntax is anthropomorphic. The minute you say a sentence you will probably say "I did that', and you will become the center of the Universe. Still we know this is false. We know we are not the center of the Universe. So we talk of the first age of verbal science, as an age of anthropomorphic knowledge, in which man is the subject of all things, and the word is the only language of truth. Today this concept of reality still lingers in western verbal religions. It has a reason: if you feel you are the selfish center of The Human World you will fight for your survival in a selfish way. So in a way anthropomorphic religions were justified by the Biological Laws of Survival of the Universe. All men were the center of the Universe; all men belonged to the same species, and so selfishness had to be limited, applied to other species. However as time went by, such anthropomorphic idea of the Universe, derived of the 'biological syntax' of words, evolved into concepts more akin to the experimental reality of the Universe. This happened among the 'verbal scientists' that searched for verbal knowledge on the Universe, in the Eastern World. We might call it the 'objective, Universal school of thought', as opposed to the 'subjective or anthropomorphic school of western thought'. The culmination of such verbal school of
science took place in a brief period between the VI and IV centuries
before Christ. Christ himself can be considered the fundamental philosopher
of the subjective vision of the Universe, with men-God as the center
of all things. It gave us the work of a series of verbal genius in Greece
and Asia - Lao-Tse, Buddha, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates - which developed
verbal cosmologies, that explained man and the Universe in harmony,
and were coherent with the perceived nature of Change in the Universe
of Times. Taoism and Buddhism: our mind only perceives part of the Universe Eastern religions said that God is Time, is change. That the Logic of God, was the cause of change in the species of reality, in the spatial beings of the Universe. Those laws of change were explained in simple terms by Taoists and Buddhists using two terms, yin and yang, that are quite equivalent to the modern terms of information and energy. The species of the Universe were organic, organic beings that shared and transformed energy and information. The way they shared and transformed that energy and information followed certain rules, which were the rules of change, the Logic of God. Today biological science has proved that such ideas are essentially right. The Universe is a game of communication of two substances that we call spatial energy and temporal information. The sum of all those spatial energies and temporal informations is the Total Universe. However we only perceive with the human mind
of that total Universe a part of the absolute spatial energy and temporal
information the total Universe stores... Where is the rest of that spatial
energy and temporal information? There exist many other intelligent beings in the Universe, that perceive reality with other languages - affirmed Taoist and Buddhist philosophers. The Chinese even invented an entire branch of medicine - acupuncture - that worked, based in the concept that your body has an underlying structure perhaps of magnetic nature, that we cannot perceive, but we can influence with metal-needles... And it worked. Does acupuncture influence the magnetic-gravitational blue-print, which underlies your bone-structure? Since we do not perceive gravitation, only indirect proves can answer that question. This might trouble 'classic scientists'
and their fantasy that only what their sensorial machines perceive is
real, so only they know can now it all with absolute certainty. Since modern scientists do not believe in any other perception except that of their machines, they do not even make that question. Yet Eastern philosophers came with what it seems the right answer: Since we know the 'logic of change', the effects of Time in Space, for a lot of species we do perceive, and all those species, when analyzed in depth, follow certain basic ruled, it is logic to affirm that all other species not-perceived by our senses will follow the same rules. This is in essence the way the experimental method works. You boil water with heat one thousand times, and it is the same process, so you 'extrapolate' a law: 'heat boils water'. Eastern philosophers said: 'the changes of space, the changes of all beings we perceive, follow the rules of 'yang-spatial energy', and 'yin-temporal information'. So those laws should also rule the species, and dimensions of Organisms we do not perceive. Therefore they considered those rules the laws of God, the Laws of Change in the Universe. They had found what we might call the 'homologic', 'linguistic', or 'biologic' method of knowledge. Since those rules of Change are deduced observing the homologies, languages, and biological behavior of living and non-living species... The linguistic method in earlier Asian religions Eastern philosophers accepted a linguistic, living Universe, where beings with different minds see 'parallel Universes', virtual maps of reality, logic models, mirrors of reality, which help them to act and survive in the Universe. When this became evident to the Hindi and Chinese philosophers, the great masters of those two cultures, Lao-Tse, and Buddha, established certain bio-logic rules of behavior in that Living Universe. In modern terms, we could say that Chinese
discovered the laws of transformation of energy into information, and
vice versa. For example they affirmed: "The transformation of Yang-energy into Yin-information is a cycle of existence that follows 3 ages" "All Universal systems need a minimal quantity of both components, to exist, (a body) of yang-energy, and (a mind) of Yin-information". And so on... Those laws were simple, based in a few observations [the Asians had not the complex instruments of western science]. Yet perhaps because of their simplicity, they were truly generic; they could apply to all Universal beings, and so they could be rightly considered as fundamental laws of God and the Universe, of the way Time changes the spatial reality. The ethic laws of mankind regarding the living Universe. Regarding the laws of behavior in that Universe, the Asians also discovered simple, effective, natural laws to enhance the survival of the humankind. Buddha insisted that men should love each other, since they belonged to the same species, and regarding other beings, they should kill only those species it required to feed on, since all beings had a soul-mind, all species had a virtual image of the Universe, and therefore all were living beings. It was the biological law of action-re action: if you gave a bad 'karma' [bad energy or information] to another being, the other being, would send you the same bad karma [bad energy and information] that could destroy you. Yet if we respected the life of other beings, (including Nature, Mother Earth) those beings would respect us. Such Universal law of behavior was the key to survive in the Universe... Lao-Tse also came to the conclusion that men should be careful with the way they interfered with the natural processes of life and death, since the forces at work 'the logic laws of change', the laws of God, were too powerful and we men should merely strive to understand them, and rule our lives according to them. So we have to conclude that the verbal age of science, reached coherent and efficient answers to the great questions of mankind. It explained the Universe as a game of spatial and temporal parameters. It understood the existence of many 'dimensions' in that Universe beyond our world of light. It developed an ethic vision of our role in the Universe according to his nature. When applied correctly it created human societies harmonic with nature, and those Universal laws of change. The aim of those societies was to survive, to repeat its 'cycles of existence', and control to the benefit of man the process of change. The Chinese were specially successful at that; and we can justly said they managed to keep their society unchanged, healthy and growing longer than any other human society ever. I consider those verbal Eastern philosophies, the golden age of the scientific word, In Taoist and Buddhist thought, man evolved mentally, and matured on his verbal perception of the Universe, from a simple age of mythic, dramatic, concepts of nature, to an age of logic complex thought, of objective, relativistic nature, in tune with the Thoughts of God=The Universe. And indeed, God rewarded them. Today the Chinese culture is one of the oldest surviving cultures in the planet, and over a billion Chinese, 1 out of 4 men, survive and multiply. Yet those tribal, war-prone cultures of the west, who did consider man the enemy of man (warrior cults, racial religions, etc.) suffered constant collective massacres, as the law of action re action and Darwinian devolution destroyed one after another culture. How many Assyrians, masters of war are left? Perhaps Mr. Saddam, born in the heart of the old Assyrian empire. And yet 3 millennia ago, there were probably as many Assyrian subjects as there were Chinese. How many Germans and Jewish people, the two most successful abstract, scientific cultures of the west, leaders in the evolution of weapons and money, have died in wars and holocausts, in those millennia, victims of their cultural or racial ideologies that separate them from other cultures? And yet as Proust said " the tragedies of history repeat themselves because men do not learn from previous mistakes". Yet today, America clearly dominated by those cultures, is again worshipping weapons and money far more than human senses, and the natural goods of man. No wonder, that it is America the home of the most advanced weapons and robots. racing towards its extinction and the collective extinction of mankind, with an energy worth more human causes, those defended by the human visual and verbal masters that revere man as "the measure of all things" (Leonardo). But "those who kill by iron, die by iron" (Christ), and those who worship money "will suffer for their likeness of money till the end of times" (Moses.) Do not despise the natural Laws of our greatest verbal prophets, sons of God, the Word of Man, the network of information of History, the collective subconscious. They are the true guide of mankind. The ethic laws of mankind regarding mankind. Because even if Western Religious confused God with Mankind this confusion is also natural to the laws of the Universe. Since in the realm of Anthropocentric religions, man evolved his ideas about social Evolution according to the natural law of social love, in 3 horizons (Moses, Christ, and Mhmd) of increasing understanding of those laws, that reached its zenith in Christianism and Islam. Both religions accepted all human beings as cells of a social God, the verbal laws of Evolution, the concept of love: "And god, the word, became man (in the mind of Christ) and inhabited among us" describes in verbal terms the very essence of the human social organism. And yet after a hopeful age of Christianism, once more "the animetal cults" of warriors, now coming from primitive Germanic tribes, crashed the hopes of Human evolution, destroying the Christian world, dividing it in nations ruled by castes of iron warriors called kings and aristocrats. They submitted, and corrupted christianism, as latter Yihad warriors would corrupt Islam. So Social religions regressed to different forms of tribalism - nationalisms, Protestant=Jewish sects based in the concept of "chosen of God", that considered all other tribes different species, susceptible of being killed and exploited, Nepotist priests and Go(l)d religions that made of money and machines the goal of mankind. Such cultures today have expanded worldwide, colonizing in the XX century Asia, that forgot her understanding of the Universe. And so today the world is divided in nations, that compete each other to build the biggest numbers of machines, and weapons. The age of mathematics and anthropomorphic science. Regarding the development of a verbal science concerned with the nature of the Universe, the western world had never advanced as far as the east. Except in the work of a few Greek philosophers, verbal knowledge about the Universe, withered away in Europe, defeated by earlier anthropomorphic theories of man as the center of the Universe. As we said, a proper evolution of History could have blend Eastern verbal sciences of the Universe, and western verbal sciences of Social Evolution (anthropomorphic religions), into a collective understanding of mankind and Reality. Yet as western religions declined back to tribalism, so did Eastern religions, returning to magic thought (modern Taoism). So that fusion never happened. Instead as verbal thought declined, censored and deformed by warrior tribes, and Go(l)d religions, mathematics, a new language, able to evolve metal, (scientific machines) and manipulate metal as a form of information (money), raised to total power, making verbal science irrelevant today both in the west and the east. It is the age of mathematical science, which maintained the anthropomorphic myths of those tribal western religions, that dominated the Western world, when science was born. And so in order to degrade the Universe and upgrade man as a "chosen of God" the first scientists, all of them deep believers in anthropocentrism (Galilee, Kepler, Newton, Descartes) designed a false, mechanical model of the Universe, that still stands, in as much as it pleases the arrogance of man as center of the Universe (an error of thought, that we have called, the Galilean Paradox.) Perhaps if mathematical science, had evolved in Asia, where words had developed in full, a organic vision of the Universe, today science would not be so confused about the true nature of those "thoughts of God", eastern philosophers had discovered. Yet again history had bad lack. So it was in Greece, in the city were money was invented, Miletus, where Tales, the first scientist, was born. The second age of science is therefore the age of mathematics, which starts in Greece and reaches maturity with Euclid and his 5 geometric postulates, which define all species of the Universe as dead species, as 'abstract points without breath', and hence, no longer as organic beings, as they really are, and the Eastern scientists understood, but as mathematical objects, that could be killed, manipulated, and aggregated in herds, regardless of what they felt about it, for the benefit of the scientist, and those animetals who profit of the machines of science. And yet even with those handicaps, Greek science achieved some summits of comprehension of the Universe, with Aristotle, that rightly defined in his metaphysics a discontinuous Universe, of multiple gods, centers of perception, of relative territories of existence, energy of those god-brains, "ultimate cause of all movements around them". While Plato understood the laws of affinity and social evolution that now science is discovering. Laws that make similar beings, to synchronize their movement and quantum particles that have shared energy/information in the past, to become bonded for ever, even when they are taken apart. Yet again History was unlucky and when Galilee, a short of Archimedes born 2 millennia latter, came into being, he established with his peers Kepler and Newton a simple, naïve realism, called the scientific method. As they were members of perhaps the most degraded culture of History, the Middle Ages western world, ruled by weapons and ignorance. So Galilee called this new science. ballistics, and made a fortune selling telescopes and methods to shoot further cannonballs. Abstract science increases the degradation of man. As Euclidean mathematics becomes the supreme language of truth, substituting words as the language of knowledge of mankind, even the limited ethics provided by tribal religions in the middle ages disappear. Euclidean science considers the Universe a mathematical object, described perfectly by geometry. Newton says the Universe is a clock because he uses a clock to measure space-time. Galileo and Descartes affirm that all the space of the Universe can be represented in a graph [the Cartesian graph], based in their light-eye perception. Space is what the eye or telescope sees and mathematics describes in that plane... There is nothing beyond that space... Calvin considers that money is the intelligence of God, and his believers, Adam Smith and Say, find a mathematical religion of money and machines, called classic economics, with yet another false postulate. He cynically affirms that the reproduction of money and objects with higher price (which are of course weapons, in that age the gunboats of the British empire), is the wealth of nation. And that wealth should be measure of course, in terms of monetary value, not in terms of human goods, and the utility of what the economy produces for mankind. So as physicists build a false science of space-time based in the postulates of Euclid, economists build a false science of economics, that never argues the value of machines and money for societies. Even if the maximum wealth of societies in money and machines occurs, during wars. Where the ecosystem of machines, the Free Jungle rules supreme. Those religions evolve weapons and expand worldwide, eliminating all other cultures of the living Universe, in America, Asia, Africa. Now all those alien people are considered mere numbers in an equation of profit, mere slave cargo for the dominant machine of the age, the gunboat. So as the western religions of love are scorned because "they are not written in mathematics, the language of God", according to Galilee, the common men are also processed as inferior verbal species by the scientist or industrialist that use machines and money to manipulate reality. So most men are soon equalled to objects, under the abstract equations of price, that rule companies [man=wage=price=object]. What this means is that full time slavery or part-time slavery (work) becomes routine, and mankind dedicates all his efforts to evolve machines, kicking off the Industrial evolution. Company-mothers of machines now rule supreme, and nations compete in massive wars to develop lethal machines. Democracies based in the laws of social evolution (all men are born equal), become corrupted, as money buy politicians (lobbyism), and states of war that eliminate all basic human rights, become a routine. Now men are mere points in a military map, an industrial equation, or a manipulated poll. As machines expand their ecosystems, scientific racism (the despise of verbal thought, religions, animal life, and human agricultural cultures not based in technology and mathematics), becomes routine. A massive slaughter of all those non-digital species ensues. It continues today as we extinguish nature, and bomb old agricultural societies (Islam) or buttress with weapons the "animetal rulers" of those societies - from Saddam to Noriega, you name it - just to have an opportunity of bombing them again. And so machines multiply and people die of hunger. This process seems unstoppable because it is based in the religion that the founders of science, Galilee, and Newton established - the scientific method. Let us then unveil the dogmas and falsities of such method. 2. The scientific method, Why scientists evolve machines. The myth of knowledge The myth of science, is the myth of the scientific method, the idea that we need machines to understand the Universe of space, and time, since those machines are superior to our human senses, eyes and words that also perceive space and time. The result of that myth is that scientists become evolutors of machines, instead of searchers of human knowledge with human senses, a role left to artists and writers. Science in this manner becomes theoretical technology. First we discover machines of science, and only then we inquire about the Universe we them. Indeed I affirm that the main reason why scientists exist is not to evolve human knowledge - even if many scientists wish to do that - but to evolve sensorial machines, mental machines. In fact the discovery of those mental machines caused science. Indeed, clocks and telescopes able to measure time and space in 'metallic terms' arrived just before science kicked off. That hard true is covered with the myth of the 'experimental method', confused with the 'scientific method'. The 'experimental method is very old. It was invented by the Greeks, and it might say is natural to man. Yet science was born a few years after the first metal-eye, the telescope was discovered, and the first accurate clock, the pendulum clock, manufactured. So it was the first metal-eye, the telescope, and the first metal-brain, the clock, who invented modern science. The Greeks did not have them. So despite having a much better understanding of the basis of the experimental, deductive, and logic methods of human knowledge, that XVII C. Europeans, they did not found science. Sensorial machines are indeed the key element of science, not the scientists that use them. The telescope, 'the first primitive metal-eye' was discovered just before Galilee invented his method of 'perception of truth' with telescopes. The pendulum clock, 'the first primitive metal-brain', able to measure time with higher precision than human words do, was perfected by Galilee himself. I would call in that sense Galilee, an artisan of metal, that used to enhance his knowledge the artifacts he constructed. Galilee in fact occupied most of his time directing a factory that reproduced clocks and telescopes. He became a very wealthy man thanks to his selling of Telescopes and clocks to the Venetian government [a princely contract of 1000 Ducats] which Venice used them in sea fare war, to better shoot their cannonballs. It is also truth that most experiments of Galilee were done with cannons. We still study our first lessons of physics with problems about cannonballs. His best seller book was on Ballistics. Perhaps the best description of the birth of science is a romantic painting called 'the discovery of science' by an Italian artist of the 19th century; Galilee is in front of the Dogo of Venice, promoting his telescope and clock. He makes complex mathematical explanations of his theories, but everyone is looking at the machines, not at Galilee's bubbling. With that perspective we can understand the hard facts of history, such as the fight between the Church and science. The great fight between Galilee and the Church is in biological terms, the fight between two species of 'brain-perception,' the human eye and his language of temporal measure, verbal words, and the metal eye, the telescope, and his language of temporal measure, the digital clock. The church and the artists of the day, backed human senses, the scientists, warriors who loved ballistics, and traders which made money making machines, and metal senses, backed science. It was just another case of the eternal paradox of history, the fight between human beings, and natural goods and senses, Vs animetals, and their metal-species. Who was right? Objectively Galilee. The eyes of metal are more accurate than our eyes. The clocks measures time with more precision that words such as late, soon, a while... Yet subjectively from the perspective of the right 'behavior', which is the survival of our species, the church was right. Biologically speaking, the church, defended our human senses over the metal-senses. Behavior has to follow always what is best for our survival as a species. So the church was right. It was the hero, the defender of mankind against a rival new species, that today controls our life... the machine of science. Of course the church accepted even lies to survive. Who is to blame her? An example. You are a petty thief. You can avoid jail if you lie. So you lie to survive jail. Who is going to blame you? Every one will think you are a moron if you go to jail by saying the truth. So happens to science, which makes weapons, robots, computers that substitute and compete with out human intelligence, that will extinguish us... To defend that behavior under the 'myth of scientific truth', is to be a moron. Extinct species know nothing. Scientists want to find the truth, at all costs, even at the cost of human survival. They are morons, idiots, children of thought. Look at those youngsters proudly making robot contests in American universities, well fed and well cared. They look so nice, so innocent, so naive. They think they are playing - children of thought - when they are evolving the species that will kill us all. So did the German-American researchers that made the Atomic bombs. Remember those Nazi children, so handsome, so athletic, as the modern American University researchers. None of them liked religion, or ethics. They preferred weapons or violent movies. Those people are isolated in ivory towers, mathematical equations, and digital images. They have no longer a verbal, biological, human mind. They know nothing about life and death. About the human quest for survival. Those machines should never be constructed if men follows the law of 'survival against all rival species' that the church defended. You might think it is religious arrogance and ignorance, not to become hypnotized by clocks and telescopic knowledge as Galilee was. I think it is wisdom, and precaution what the church showed. Unfortunately Scientists won, and human senses became extinct as top predators, by the machines of science, that today control our information. The photographer replaced the painter, the computer the human mind. Soon the robot will substitute mankind. What scientists forgot is that their instruments are evolutionary, sentient organisms, and one day they will also substitute them. Today we tend to despise the 'biological' survival meaning of social religions obsessed by death and survival. Yet those religions explained the social laws of human evolution, and defended the subjective, survival rights of men to act as the center of their organic space, of the Earth. Verbal religions defended the ecosystem of life, the Genesian paradise, a world of 'poverty' [where money was secondary], of peace [where weapons were hated], and of human senses, human goods, and art [where sensorial machines of science were not evolved]. In essence all religions have defended poverty, non-violence and despised science, favoring the arts. Animetals on the other hand have massacred religious people... Scientists called them ignorant. On the contrary, if you think in terms of a fight of ecosystems between the ecosystem of machines and the ecosystem of history, it turns out that the result of such religious ideologies is the repression of the 3 main species of metal: money, weapons and machines. So we can indeed translate in a simple sentence the entire doctrine of human religions: Defend human goods, the carbolife paradise, destroy the Metal earth. 'the scientific mandate of the laws of survival, the law of the Jungle: 'do not evolve species superior to you, kill the child before it becomes a tiger hunter' was understood by religious thought since the age of the Genesis. Today we think church men were brutish, stupid thinkers. Yet that is a simplistic, unfortunate view of the problem, that scientists have sold us to defend their position. Only a biological analysis of history explains really what happened in that XVII C. Galilee, defended his machines, his metal-senses, because he made a living on them, and believed them. The church, defended for survival=ethic reasons, the human senses. The Vatican priests and the artists who on that time despised Galilee, who still in the XIX century painted 'the birth of science' with such irony, have always defended the survival of human eyes and words, that measure space and time, from the human point of view, as the top predators of the Universe, against the eyes and brains of machines, that scientists defend. They fought for mankind. Galilee and all scientists after him, fought for the machine. That's the tragedy of man. We are one of the few species that betrays the laws of social evolution, and worships a rival brain. To the church what it really matter was our sensorial survival, to Galilee, his telescopes and clocks, that made him rich and famous: Metal-minds are organs that gather information from the perspective of machines. They are parallel species to the mental species that man possess, not superior, but just another species of heads, with the components of all heads: - Radio Ears, and telephone ears, imitate the hearing functions of man. - TV eyes, and cameras imitate the visual functions of man. -
Science is the evolutionary system of metal-species. Its top predator language is mathematics that substitutes Word information. Science does not evolve either life or human beings, but metal species. Companies and Science are not about human knowledge and evolution, but about metal evolution. Why? Since according to the scientific method, without metal-informative senses [clocks, cameras] by definition we cannot find a scientific truth. Indeed, a scientific truth measures time and space changes in a given species. Yet Time and Space have in science a narrow, 'metallic' definition: Time is defined as what a clock measures and Space is defined as what a microscope or Telescope sees. So the sensorial truth of metal senses becomes synonymous in science, of 'Human Truth'. The evolution of metal-senses becomes the 'a priori' condition for any kind of scientific knowledge: You evolve metal senses, you measure time with metal-brains, with clocks [today evolved into computers] and you measure space with metal-eyes, with telescopes [today evolved into cameras]; and you call that truth, 'science', 'knowledge'. Even if 'truth', science and knowledge about space and time, can be measured with many other senses, and perceptive languages. This is indeed the error of science: to confuse a certain truth and perception [metal-perception] with the absolute truth and perception. That arrogant view is the simple ideology of science which evolves metal-minds. Truth is what metal minds see and measure. So the search for truth implies the search for better, evolved metal minds. The a priori goal of science becomes then evolution of machines. The ideology of science becomes the search for metal- truths: Scientific truth = metal-sensorial evidence [cock-camera measure] ∆ Truth = ∆ Metal-sensorial evidence = Evolution of metal-species. The Metalminds of science replace the very essence of human minds, the 'virtual world' of information we trace with eyes and words in our brain, now substituted by the virtual world of ideas and values that scientific machines show to us. In a temple In Indonesia, in central Java, I found hundreds of pendulum clocks. When I asked the priest what those clocks were doing there, he replied that for centuries the rich chiefs had seen the Dutch Traders obsessed by the pendulum. It ruled their lives, determining when they ate and prayed. The chiefs thought pendulums were the Dutch God, so they were proud to offer a Dutch God to their temples. Clocks were in effect the Gods of the 1st Company of Pricing, V.O.C., which had conquered Indonesia, and made its inhabitants slaves of price/hours. The sale of ¥-clocks was like the sale of computers today: a huge business. Yet an Indonesian of that age was far more akin to the natural feeling of the rhythms and times of the living Universe. The new clock-Time was perceived as a fundamental change, an evil God who imposed on men the rhythm of slavery. Unfortunately, Indonesians soon find out that Dutch clocks=Gods were backed with Ballistics. Gunboats, mathematical thought, clocks and ballistics, all products of science and companies, the two methods that evolved and reproduced machines, were the new God of Holland. Digital Languages shaped Dutch reality. Time became abstract; and living entities became mechanical objects for scientists to play with. Including men=workers, now a mere number with a clock-metal price value, within the statistic books of Companies of Scientific Pricing. Today we are all scientific minds, and our brains are full of rhythms determined by the clock. The more time we give to the rhythms of the clock, the more time it demands from us. Soon companies will replace our existence with machines that use clocks as their minds... We conclude that the scientific method of 'total metal-sensorial evidence,' and all the statements of science in that path, are pure, naive, arrogance of which scientists from Kepler, self-appointed, as the only intelligence comparable to that of God=the Universe, to Einstein who once said that if his theory was wrong, "God would have to correct the Universe" are so often guilty, mesmerized by the perceptive power of their 'metal-senses', telescopes, cameras and computers. Function is form. The function of scientists cheated by the scientific method has become to evolve machines and weapons. The forms they create are machines and weapons. To break the slavery of science to metal, human verbal logic, Theory of Evolution, has to be regarded as the guide of all forms of research. So Digital science has
to be denied. Scientists have to become human thinkers and understand
the universe in verbal terms. Otherwise they will extinguish us, while
in a loop of unconscious cynicism, keep telling us that technology and
computers is human progress... not metal progress. 3. The third age of science.
If mankind wants to survive, he should obey the laws of God=Social Evolution, and made Mankind the measure of all things, working together, for the creation of a planet made to our image and resemblance. Darwin, Plank and Einstein. Relativistic science. That is the sad panorama of western knowledge in the XIX and XX centuries. Arrogant men were destroying the living Universe around them, to make machines they worship. And yet a few scientists still looked in those dark ages for the ultimate truths (though Einstein would affirm that the scientists he knew in his entire life that were in the profession, for the quest of truth, not for celebrity or money, did not amount to the fingers of one hand). Still and despite the errors mentioned in the first part of this book, Darwin in the XIX century and Einstein in the XX century did open avenues that were putting man and machine again into perspective. But few understood them, and nobody evolved their ideas further towards a true third age of science, and the comprehension of the laws of social evolution and the living Universe. Darwin came with a verbal theory of The Universe that was also relativistic, as Eastern philosophy was. He said men were not the center of the Universe, but a stage in the evolution of species of space-time, coming from simpler species such as the ape. And one of his earlier followers, Butler applied Darwinism to the fight between men and machines. He could have found a true science of bio-economics, that instead of worshipping machines, could have selected them according to their benefit for man. And yet he was laughed at, and died poor and lonely in New Zealand, the further place from English machines he could find. On the other hand after Einstein and Plank, in the XX C. Physicists had to deal with the falsity of Euclidean mathematics. Einstein basically said that scientists merely perceived a part of The Universe, as the gravitational Universe, was far more extended, since each line of our universe in fact host multiple lines. Plank proved that space was discontinuous, made of quanta of energy. And yet amazingly enough for a century, nobody wrote the third chapter of this book, nobody discovered the obvious equivalence of energy and space that Plank have proved. Nobody understood the discontinuity of time, that the paradoxes of relativity proved. So much for the intelligence of abstract scientists. Yet those abstract scientists, artisans of metal-senses, did indeed keep evolving sensorial machines. Soon Radios and televisions transmitted information that only their 'metal-ears' and 'metal-eyes' could see. Now computers and robots communicate thousand of miles away with wireless, invisible flows of communication in digital languages. And yet men do not fear that invisible language that living machines will use to control this planet. As they still see machines as abstract objects. Darwin, Plank, Einstein, and the perfectly ordered flows of data that magically flow in this planet today, , have proved that we live in a Universe, far more relativistic, mysterious, and alien to the human intelligence, that western thought believed. A place to respect and fear. And yet men seem oblivious to those wonders, as "naïve realism" reigns supreme. Man is indeed making too many mistakes for the living Universe to preserve him. The two ages of mathematics. We thus can talk of two clear ages in mathematical knowledge parallel to the two ages of verbal knowledge: the age of Newtonian-Galilean absolutist, anthropomorphic science, parallel to the age of anthropomorphic religions; and the age of Einsteinian-relativistic science, parallel to the Eastern verbal age of relativistic thought. Languages are not truth, but mirrors of the Universe. The Universe is not written only in mathematics as Galileo thought. Mathematics is only one of the languages that perceives the Universe [Karl Popper]. Computers confirm that, since they have developed with mathematics a visual vision of the Universe, that we might call 'digital intelligence', that is able to perform task of comprehension that humans perform with verbal languages, using mathematical algorithms. What is truth? What is intelligent? The smell of the dog, the words of man, the numbers of computers? All of them are intelligent forms of information. All of them are relativistic, linguistic knowledge. Yet those facts are still argued by many scientists, which do not want to leave their privileged position based in mathematics, as the priests of Vatican did not want to leave their privileged position based in verbal thought. But proves are overwhelming. Dark matter that is not in our space, perceived with light-eyes, is maybe 99% of The Universe. On the other hand, at the beginning of the XX C., Fitzgerald, Lorentz and Einstein discovered that clocks are not the only way to measure time. That in certain regions of the Universe clocks go faster or slower. So there are other discontinuous time regions in the Universe. While Biologists discovered the circadian cycles of beings, that also measure time with other rhythms. So neither scientific instruments not mathematics understand all the time and space of the Universe. This means that experimental data have reached now in mathematics, the same level of knowledge that Taoists and Buddhists reached with words. An age of relativism of knowledge, relative to our instruments and languages of perception. And yet the common scientist prefers to ignore this third age of science, and holds to naïve realism, to the errors of Darwin and Einstein, to a mechanical, cruel Universe. So today scientific relativism is very rare, except in some of the highest scientific minds of our age. And any criticism of the role of Science in History, any vitalization of the Universe, any correction of the errors and dogmas of the scientific method, brings to an end an scholar career. Mathematical proves are the only dogma, which implies of course, when computers have exceed mankind as mathematical thinkers, a total dependence of scientists from computers - and a constant evolution of those computers towards the threshold of self-perception. and therefore as those perceptive computers integrate with robots in the nearby future, the extinction of man. That is the sad end of a dogmatic science, that denies any wrong doing, any falsity in which it is constructed. Only a reform of such kind of science could at this stage of history save mankind of that foretold end. A third age of science based in bio-logy is needed for man to survive To construct such positive science, is useful to put together verbal philosophies of eastern thought, and western mathematical knowledge, in what we might call the 'third age of science'. The bridge to put together those two theories of the Universe is curiously Theory of Evolution, a theory about the existence and extinction of The Universe that uses both, verbal and mathematical statements... Let us see how this might happen. The third age of science arrives when we combine the two approaches of knowledge verbal knowledge and mathematical knowledge through Theory of Evolution. We no longer try to search for absolute knowledge, of all the details of The Universe, but a Theory or model of reality that explains why species of space-time, minds that perceive space and time with different languages and forces [such as words, mathematics, light, smell or gravitation], exist. And how their existence is selected. Since the Universe is made of such species, and regions that contain either spatial energy or temporal information, if we understand the processes of creation and destruction of those minds and regions of space-time, we will understand the rules of existence of the Universe. Once this becomes obvious, it is easy to see how the selection process of minds that perceive space and time works. There exist many minds and ways to perceive the Universe. Each being, each mind has a model-map-mirror-image-virtual world of the Universe. How all those mind-brains and the surfaces of 'organic space', the 'bodies of energy', they inform become ordered? Through the selection of species. Selection of species not only applies to the stronger bodies, but also to the languages and minds which are more intelligent, which gather more information about the Universe. Those species such as man in the Earth, maybe black holes in the 'Total Universe' of multiple gravitational space-times, process much more information than other species around them. They are 'linguistic Top Predators ', and so they control their ecosystems, [the Earth's crust in the human case, the galaxy in the case of black holes], shaping them to their image and resemblance. Galaxies turn around black holes. The Earth
is mold by human actions. The order of the Universe of multiple space-times is therefore a biological order. The future belongs to those species that better understand space and time. Those species will reproduce in the future, causing 'physically' the appearance of the future, and extinguishing or ordering the other species. Those processes might be conscious or unconscious, organic or mechanical, but they are real. So 'mechanical black holes' attract and destroy all other gravitational beings. The sun orders gravitational beings of lesser gravitational information [mass] such as planets, and comets... In the 'ecosystem' of gravitational information, to have more gravity, more mass is the sure path to survival. In the 'ecosystem' of light-information, to have better eyes, and better visual languages is the sure path to survival. God, the logic of change, in that sense is a biological logic, or a being whose existence and impersonal laws are evolutionary laws, that provoke the extinction and existence of reality. What is the position of man in that ladder of minds that perceive the Universe? Obviously we are the top predator mind on the Earth. But there are two reasons why we should reflect about the fragility of that position. We do not perceive gravitation, which is the force that 'perceives 90-99% of The Universe', nor we think with light, as computers do (the second force of the Universe). So we are not such a great mind. We are a slow light mind, that needs to simplify light images into verbal knowledge, a languages that carries far less information, and hence it is far less fit to survive, than the visual language of advanced computers (an image is worth a thousand words). So the risks of creating visual minds, top predator minds, much faster than we are is self-evident. Instead scientists should be cautious and do not enter into those regions of perception they cannot naturally understand. An example will illustrate that. Imagine you are a cockroach. Cockroaches are the top predator chemical systems of information on Earth. They could feel very arrogant, since in their language-universe they are Top Predators, and they do not understand any other language. At most they have a 'hint' that there exists a wider language of information that scans much more universe, called Light. But they cannot grasp or dominate that information very well, so basically when they see species of that other bigger Universe, they become frightened and run away, into the comfort of their well known dark Universe, 'enlightened' by chemical smells. From the perspective of our bigger light Universe, to have a 'chemical mind' such as the one of cockroaches should not be a reason of 'great arrogance'. Yet man who has a 'cockroach mind', compared to a possible mind that could perceive the entire gravitational Universe [maybe the black hole], or a mind that could think at light speed (the computer), feels however an enormous arrogance. due to abstract science and anthropomorphic religions, that compare him with God=the Universe. This is truly dangerous. Imagine the cockroach that felt so arrogant as to think she can wonder freely in the land of light-space. Soon she will find a true top predator that will crash it 'like a cockroach'. Of course God will do with such optimist cockroaches what we do, with roaches in our flats. The Laws of the Universe will crash us. Curiosity kills the cat. Or in verbal terms, in the mouth of the prophets of the Word: "Do not eat of the tree of science, of his good and bad fruits=machines, because the they you do=invent them, you will die". In the case of man, this might happen soon. Indeed, we are developing a new kind of mind, of virtual world of light who seem to have the potential of becoming superior to man in a very short period. 'Digital minds', computers, nets and robots, are evolving very fast, and by many standards they have become superior to man in their capacity to handle visual languages, specially mathematics... Will they substitute man as the top predator light-mind on Earth? Arrogance is indeed the first capital sin, the sin against survival. There is not a single reality, but knowledge is relative, depends on our sensorial and linguistic perception of space and time, and builds a 'virtual world', an image of the real, total Universe. Those virtual worlds however are fundamental, since there is a constant selection of the best virtual worlds of the Universe. The change we see in this planet are changes related to the extinction and reproduction of such brain-body systems, and the way they affect the spatial reality and temporal forms of the planet. We can also study the evolution of perception on Earth, a planet that receives its energy and information from light. Indeed, species on Earth are selected by its capacity to understand light-energy ,and light information. So first plants who understood light-energy dominated. Then animals who were able to process through eyes, light into information became dominant. Finally men who added a 'temporal language' to their eye perception, the language of words, controlled the Earth. But men are now developing digital languages, mathematics, in machines, that are taking over the Ecosystem of the Earth, and displacing the animal ecosystem [nature] and the human ecosystem [history]. This final age of the Machine is clearly dangerous to the survival of man, because we stop being the top predator brain-body system, as we evolve robotics and other machines of science, with better perceptive senses and brains [camera-eyes, chip-brains], and better command of numbers, the language of science and companies. So we become substituted by them. The cycle is completed: our conclusions in the third age of science, are similar to those of the Verbal masters of relativistic Eastern thought. Man should understand the laws of change in the universe, the existence of other parallel Brains, who perceive other regions of space and time, that man ignore. Then we should draw obvious laws of human behavior, according to those universal laws, and promote our role as top predator brains on Earth. We should not act with arrogance, and destroy nature - our biologic ecosystem - and pretend to be God, building machines more intelligent than us. Instead, we should respect the laws of evolution, use them to the advantage of man, and develop a harmonic vision of the universe, with both verbal and mathematical languages. It is the old vision of Chinese Taoists. Lao-tse said: "when more complex instruments men discover, more wars and destruction happens". The 'third age of science' implies the knowledge of the living Universe, and the need to be cautious in that Universe, and use the bio-logic rules of existence to the advantage of man. It implies to deny the dogmas and lies of the scientific method, and substitute it for a superior method of knowledge and survival, as the scientific method substituted centuries ago the myths and beliefs of anthropocentric religions.
