Should the man be power hungry, and one has to be to battle all the way up to head of state, could his now proven knowledge of priests pedophily/homosexuality have been leveraged to gain this position?

Is it a sin to question the integrity of Saints?

Is it a sin not to?

The man is attempting to take the higher moral ground, and really, what else were we expecting? But doing so by belitteling the victims of his armies got me wondering…

I don’t have any answers, I just draw parallels and relationships with the decay of human leadership.

All it takes is for a few good men to remain silent! Treason is betrayal after trust — trust is the church’s main commodity — how does this leave us feeling?

Questioning the legitimacy of the seat — the legitimacy of Sainthood…

If you are worried about a tectonic shift in Vatican, I urge you not to! After all the Church survived the sexual deviancy of the inquisition, the benediction of rape pillage & destruction of whole cultures, a “blind eye” (at best) on Nazi Germany, the condoning of overpopulation and the promotion of AIDS.

Which in turns leads me to a last question:

Did we know the whole time and …accepted it?

What about now?

Periodic Meshing In Universe

This Boltzmann’s import-export-import-export; entropy-syntropy entropy syntropy, cosmically complementary, human-heart-like, eternally pulsative, evolutionary regeneration system, also locally manifests itself in the terrestrial biosphere as the ever alternatively, omni-inter-pulsing, barometric highs and lows of the weather.

As an instance of chasm-spanning between science and the humanities by conceptually transformative energy-quanta accounting, synergetics conceptually elucidates the Boltzmann import-export, entropy-syntropy transaction and the elegant manner in which nature accommodates the “hidden ball” play of now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t energy transference.

Pattern Sorting and Observing:

When we are able to observe for long enough periods of time, we find all the gears of Universe eventually meshing, though not simultaneously. The next periodic meshing of any two of the gears might take a thousand years or 28 l/2 years or 17 seconds. The important phenomenon to note is that there are great varieties of periods of non-meshing which altogether make the physically observed totality appear to take up ever more room, and anywhere within this expansiveness the locally predominant events occurring within short spans of time appear to be Omni-disorderly. When we compound that realization with the now-known million-fold greater span of electromagnetic reality and the lesser span of direct-sense ranging of the human organism, we begin to comprehend how readily humanity falls into the trap of dismay, fear, and negativism in general. Impatience engenders further myopically disorderly incrementation of information receipts. Those who are impatient for the receipt of the next news broadcasts are only beguiled by negative information. That is what myopia looks for. Chronic short-sightedness spontaneously seeks and tunes in only the broadcast entropy. Syntropy incasts, in contradistinction to entropic broadcast. Syntropy can be apprehended only through overall or comprehensive review of the totally recalled information of long-term experience.

Man has no experimental data to suggest that energy is ever created or destroyed. Though our own overall experience leads us to the discovery of cyclic events that return upon themselves, the local, momentary, physical events seem to be giving off energy and taking up more room despite our own syntropic attempts to re-establish local order. Entropy is defined as the law of increase of the random element. But our experience in physical exploration also reveals to us that every pattern phenomenon has its complementary which is rarely a mirror-image and is most frequently invisible. As the complementary has the effect of cosmic integrity balancing, we realize there must be unseen syntropic events of Universe that are always reordering the environment. Syntropy (IN Gravity) is the law of elsewhere-importing and always-orderly regrouping of the entropic (OUT Radiation) exportings of all dying systems. Aging and death here engender birth and growth elsewhere

Humans, like the honeybee, are born ignorant, pre-programmed with hunger, thirst, and respiratory drives to take in chemical elements in crystalline (triple bond Solid), liquid (double bond Non-compressible ), and gaseous( single bond compressible) increments, as well as with pro-creativeness and parental protectiveness drives. With their directly programmed drives humans inadvertently produce (what are to them) side effects, which results in their doing the right cosmic regenerative tasks for all the wrong reasons or without any reason at all.

This preliminary phase of preconditioned human re-flexing, while lasting millions of years, is a gestative-phase -behaviour that becomes obsolete as humans’ metaphysical mind discovers the principles of precession and discovers only through vast, cumulative trial and error the pattern experience of both terrestrial and cosmic ecology; where after humans will progressively recommit their endeavours in support of the recycling and orbitally regenerative effects, precessionally inter-produced by all independently orbiting cosmic systems. This abrupt 90-degree reorientation constitutes the evolutionary stage through which humanity is now passing, wherein humanity will progressively exchange its exclusive preoccupation with self- preservation for that of supporting Omni-inclusive, cosmic integrity.

The function of local-Universe information-gathering and local-Universe problem-solving is a generalized problem-and-solution complex, the solution of which is mathematically expressed as the updated Einstein equation(E=Mc2) E = 2Mc2.

Where E is energy, M is mass, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum.

Recognizing that:

1. This information-gathering and problem-solving function of humans on little, local planet Earth is a cosmically generalized function;
2. Our experiencing of the coordinate integrity of nature’s pattern of initiating the growth of myriads of ecologically inter-complementary biological species is scientifically sorted out; and
3. Nature’s method of trial-and-error evolvement of the successive biological types prospering most successfully under each unique evolutionarily progressive environmental change demonstrates that preferred environment technology eliminates survival only of the fittest;

We come to the full realization that the failures of humans on planet Earth to fulfil satisfactorily and faithfully their generalized information-gathering and local problem solving in support of eternal regeneration of Universe simply means death of this particular planetary installation of mind-endowed individuals. The failure of humans means the function must be performed in local-Universe by other phenomena capable of reliably serving the information agglomerating and problem-solving function. The eternal Universe show must go on.

Pope Benedict XVI coat of arms

Cooperatores Veritatis, Co-workers of the Truth

Pope Benedict XVI Addresses Decades Long Child Abuse Cover Up, NOT!

A long awaited letter to address the Catholic church cover up of child abuse (yes, sexual abuse, rape, sodomy and the likes) by its priests that began to surface in the early 1970′es in Canada, 1980′es in Australia, 1990′es in Ireland, 2000’s in the US and Germany was released today on The Vatican’s “Holy” Website.

In recent months paedophile scandals have also rocked the Church in the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland… Says the BBC.

The letter was expected to be a confession that states say “clearly and unequivocally” that the church “at the highest levels” has always known about abuse cases; that the church had pursued a “deliberate policy of cover-up, protecting sex offenders in order to avoid scandal, with no regard for the safety of children”… Says Al Jazeera.

The letter acknowledges only the abuse itself, not the decades of Vatican-approved cover-ups & this is a shame – especially in view of the innumerable cases popping up in Germany, Italy, etc…, of late.

It is not so much an apology as a lecture to the …VICTIMS! To me, the loss of Moral Authority of the church is unprecedented and irreparable; it seems that, like anything else labeled “an institution”, from banks, rating agencies, FED & religious organizations to World Health Organization (think H1N1 scandals) of Food Aid Organization rightly deserves your despise, contempt and wariness. In truth, what gives the right to these people to claim to lead us in the first place?

“The Roman Catholic Church has clearly lost sight of its Christian values and it will take more than a pastoral letter to right this wrong.” writes Paul Dunbar in the Christian Science Monitor.

Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) was responsible for a 2001 Vatican edict that instructed bishops to report all cases of child abuse to Vatican authorities in secret and made no mention of reporting crimes to the police…

Were we really expecting a “mea culpa”?

Cooperatores Veritatis, Co-workers of the Truth was the motto of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he has wisely chosen not to carry over that burden to his pappal duties.

But he has also chosen not to use the three golden crowns found on the tiara, the first a symbol of the Church’s sovereignty over the States, the second to show that his spiritual authority was superior to any civic authority, and the third to symbolize the Pope’s moral authority over all secular monarchs… we applaud that choice.

In the conclusion of GRUNCH Of Giants, R. Buckminster Fuller lists The Seven Conditions For Humanity To Change Its Destiny, and obviously tells us to shed religions and gain a direct “hot-line” with God:

7. the individual discovery of God by a vast majority of human individuals – not the discovery of religions, but the discovery that each and every individual has an always-instantly-open, no-intermediary-switchboard-authority-to-contend-with, no-interference of-any-kind, direct “hot-line to God”: i.e., the weightless, nonphysical communication occurring teleologically between the differentially limited, weightless, nonphysical, temporal, special-case mind of the individual human and the comprehensively integrated, macro-micro unlimited, weightless, eternal, generalized mind of God.

- Buckminster, Bucky Fuller, The G.R.U.N.C.H. of Giants.

The creation of religions by the world’s power structures has corrupted the soul of man; the “Missionaria Protectiva” as described by Frank Herbert in Dune is alive and well.

Humans In Universe Water

In Chapter One of Critical Path: Speculative Prehistory Of Humanity, Buckminster Fuller states that because water is essential to all the biological organisms’ ecological systems of regeneration on our planet, the following 4 major facts about water are vitally important: (Please note that number two has been disproved since the book was written)

1. Vital fact number one: Biological life is 50% water. Earthians are hydraulically designed technologies. Their structure consists of a balance interaction between tensive & compressive forces.
2. Vital fact number two: We do not know of any water in Universe other than that on our planet Earth. Even though that fact number two has been disproved since: we now know there is abundant water in Universe – Water in the Solar System – Water in the Universe - Water in Universe – Water in the Universe: Abundant? – it doesn’t really change Bucky Fuller’s observation that the as abundant as it seems on Earth, with the oceans, etc…, on a 12 inches diameter Earth globe, the ocean’s average depth would be smaller than the thickness of the ink used to print them!
3. Vital fact number three: water freezes and boils within close limits – Anywhere in Universe, except inside Earth’s biosphere the water would be either frozen, boiling, evaporated, or incandescent. Our terrestrial biosphere is a unique environment essential to the survival of humans.
4. Vital fact number four: water gains and loses heat more slowly than any known abundant substance. The world ocean’s thermal stability keeps the world’s temperature changes at minimum; they act as a flywheel does to steady rotational speed on a mechanical device.

The importance of water underlined in the first pages of Critical Path will be revisited several times along the pages of the book; Bucky Fuller putting a special emphasis on the influence of water on Human settlements, the development of the Human mind and the birth of Human power structures.

Specialization - The Bucky Call

Specialization has bred feelings of isolation, futility, and confusion in individuals. It has also resulted in the individual’s leaving responsibility for thinking and social action to others. Specialization breeds biases that ultimately aggregate as international and ideological discord, which, in turn, leads to war.

In chrome-nickel-steel, the primary constituents are iron, chromium, and nickel. There are minor constituents of carbon, manganese, and others. It is a very popular way of thinking to say that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. That seems to be very logical to us. Therefore, we feel that we can predict things in terms of certain minor constituents of wholes. That is the way much of our thinking goes. If I were to say that a chain is as strong as the sum of the strengths of its links, you would say that is silly. If I were to say that a chain is stronger than the sum of the strengths of its entire links, you might say that that is preposterous. Yet that is exactly what happens with chrome-nickel- steel. If our regular logic held true, then the iron as the weakest part ought to adulterate the whole: since it is the weakest link, the whole thing will break apart when the weakest link breaks down. What humans have been experiencing and thinking of “realistically” as dim “somethings” or “points” in a field of omni-directional seeming nothingness now requires experimentally provable reconsideration, epistemographic re-con-ceptioning , and rewording.

All exclusively three-dimensional matrixes, consisting only of parallel lines and perpendicular rectilinear interactions like parallel railroad tracks inherently fail to accommodate any terminal convergence. Such matrixes fail to accommodate the inherent strategy of range-finding: the fact that the linear distance relationship between our two human eyes and also those of other optically equipped creatures was designed to provide the baseline of a triangle whose opposite apex occurs at the position of a sighted object. The convergent apex angle of the object provides the human brain’s computer circuitry with a limited, distance-to-object-magnitude appraising, or range-finding perceptivity, whose maximum terrestrial range is the horizon. Beyond the horizon the distances between remote objects are reduced to optically non-tunable angle-size or – frequency discernibility. Ergo, at the maximum tunability of differential wavelength- perceptivity, our range-finding optical system produces a false image of a seemingly convergent pair of parallel railroad tracks. It is not that the tracks or the ties are coming together, but that the distance between them is sub-tunable.

Only ants?

I have found during my whole life that I have had a problem dealing with society because I am dealing with that which is not obvious to the rest of society. I have found that Universe is actually operating in an entirely different way from the way society thinks it is. Society is living in a sort of “fault.” The kind of fault I am thinking of is like an Earth fault, like a great cliff, a great discontinuity in Earth’s surface. There are great discontinuities in the public’s image of what the Universe is.

We find no record of man having defined the Universe scientifically and comprehensively to include both the metaphysical and the physical. The scientist was able to define physical Universe by virtue of the experimentally verified discovery that energy can neither be created nor lost; therefore that energy is conserved; therefore it is finite. Thus, man has been able to define successfully physical Universe but not, as yet, the metaphysical Universe.

Our definition of Universe includes both the objective and the subjective, i.e., all voluntary experiences (experiments) as well as all involuntary experiences (happenings). The total of experiences is integrally synergetic. Universe is the comprehensive, a priori synergetic integral. Universe continually operates in comprehensive, coordinate patterning’s that are transcendental to the sensorially minuscule apprehension and mental-comprehension and prediction capabilities of mankind, consciously and inherently preoccupied as he is only with special local and non-simultaneous pattern considerations. Angle and frequency modulations, either subjective or objective in respect to man’s consciousness, discretely define all events or experiences which altogether constitute Universe.

Objective: free of bias based on fact

Subjective: not impartial based on somebody’s opinion

A Priori: existing in the mind prior to and independent of experience

Non-Simultaneous: not at the same time

Aggregate: forming whole collected together from different sources

Transcendental: not experienced and knowable independent of human experience

Alex Grey - Complex Universe

Synergetics presents a picture of the multi-optioned operational field of cosmic favorabilities, inter-transform-abilities, and complementary inter -accommodations within which each human individual, his life, his world, is always one alternately elective, complex-integrity way Universe could have evolved.
No man or woman can ever prove when they wake up in the morning that they are the same person who they think they remember went to sleep. They may dream that they had other dreams, but there is now no way to prove that there are not a great many alternate “me’s,” and that one of them may have awakened under one set of alternate possibilities while the others may have awakened under other circumstances, and that each of them thinks that it is the only “me.” So it could be that human beings, wherever they occur in Universe, may be introduced as a means of coping metaphysically with the most complex kinds of local Universe problems, so that each one of us is where the problem-solving of Universe is being transacted. If we were to think of ourselves as things as china dolls, as kinds of china dolls that would just get smashed up or would just get worn or eroded away that wouldn’t be very good thinking. It would be much closer to actual Universe to think of ourselves as an absolutely continuous complex process.

We are quite possibly the most complex of the problem-solving challenges of the invention that is eternally regenerative Scenario Universe.

In this way each of us might be a department of the mind of what we might call God

Humans as Local Universe Complex Problem Solvers

Dave Ginsberg - Spaceship Earth

“Humanity is moving ever deeper into crisis – a crisis without precedent. First, it is a crisis brought about by cosmic evolution irrevocably intent upon completely transforming omnidisintegrated humanity from a complex of around-the-world, remotely-deployed-from-one-another, differently colored, differently credoed, differently cultured, differently communicating, and differently competing entities into a completely integrated, comprehensively interconsiderate, harmonious whole. Second, we are in an unprecedented crisis because cosmic evolution is also irrevocably intent upon making omni-integrated humanity omnisuccessful, able to live sustainingly at an unprecedentedly higher standard of living for all Earthians than has ever been experienced by any; able to live entirely within its cosmic-energy income instead of spending its cosmic energy savings account (i.e., the fossil fuels) or spending its cosmic-capital plant and equipment account (i.e., atomic energy)-the atoms with which our Spaceship Earth and its biosphere are structured and equipped-a spending folly no less illogical than burning your house-and-home to keep the family warm on an unprecedentedly cold midwinter night. Humanity’s cosmic-energy income account consists entirely of our gravity-and star (99 percent Sun)-distributed cosmic dividends of water power, tidal power, wave power, wind power, vegetation-produced alcohols, methane gas, vulcanism, and so on. Humanity’s present rate of total energy consumption amounts to only one four-millionth of one percent of the rate of its energy income. …Ninety-nine percent of humanity does not know that we have the option to make it economically on this planet and in the Universe. We do.”

– R. Buckminster Fuller, from the introduction to Critical Path.

“Think of it. We are blessed with technology that would be indescribable to our forefathers. We have the wherewithal, the know-it-all to feed everybody, clothe everybody, and give every human on Earth a chance. We know now what we could never have known before-that we now have the option for all humanity to make it successfully on this planet in this lifetime. Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will b a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment.”

– R. Buckminster Fuller 1980.

“What are the resources? What are the tasks necessary to make 100% of humanity a success? How can we ever do so without ever advantaging one human at the expense of another? How may we render all the world and all its treasures enjoyable available to all men without having one interfering with or trespassing upon the other? How may we reform the environment so that the integrity of all society is not violated by the free initiatives of the individual nor the integrity of the individual violated by the developing welfaring advantage and happiness of the many? Man is born a potentially complete success. The reasons humanity loves its children is that they start off in such perfection of potential. Man, as designed, is obviously intended to be a success just as the hydrogen atom is intended to e a success. It is only the fabulous ignorance of man and his long and wrongly conditioned reflexes that he continually allowed the new life to be impaired albeit lovingly and unwittingly”.

– R. Buckminster Fuller – NASA Speech, June 1966

As Korzybski, the founder of general semantics, pointed out, the consequence of its single-tagging is that the rose becomes reflexively considered by man only as a red, white, or pink device for paying tribute to a beautiful girl, a thoughtful hostess, or last night’s deceased acquaintance. The tagging of the complex biological process under the single title rose tends to detour human curiosity from further differentiation of its integral organic operations as well as from consideration of its inter-ecological functionings aboard our planet. We don’t know what a rose is, nor what may be its essential and unique cosmic function. Thus for long have we inadvertently deferred potential discovery of the essential roles in Universe that are performed complementarily by many, if not most, of the phenomena we experience.

But, goaded by youth, we older ones are now taking second looks at almost everything. And that promises many ultimately favorable surprises. The oldsters do have vast experience banks not available to the youth. Their memory banks, integrated and reviewed, may readily disclose generalized principles of eminent importance. The word generalization in literature usually means covering too much territory too thinly to be persuasive, let alone convincing. In science, however, a generalization means a principle that has been found to hold true in every special case.

The principle of leverage is a scientific generalization. It makes no difference of what material either the fulcrum or the lever consists – wood, steel, or reinforced concrete. Nor do the special-case sizes of the lever and fulcrum, or of the load pried at one end, or the work applied at the lever’s other end in any way alter either the principle or the mathematical regularity of the ratios of physical work advantage that are provided at progressive fulcrum-to-load increments of distance outward from the fulcrum in the opposite direction along the lever’s arm at which the operating effort is applied.

Mind is the weightless and uniquely human faculty that surveys the ever larger inventory of special-case experiences stored in the brain bank and, seeking to identify their intercomplementary significance, from time to time discovers one of the rare scientifically generalizable principles running consistently through all the relevant experience set. The thoughts that discover these principles are weightless and tentative and may also be eternal. They suggest eternity but do not prove it, even though there have been no experiences thus far that imply exceptions to their persistence. It seems also to follow that the more experiences we have, the more chances there are that the mind may discover, on the one hand, additional generalized principles or, on the other hand, exceptions that disqualify one or another of the already catalogued principles that, having heretofore held “true” without contradiction for a long time, had been tentatively conceded to be demonstrating eternal persistence of behavior. Mind’s relentless reviewing of the comprehensive brain bank’s storage of all our special-case experiences tends both to progressive enlargement and definitive refinement of the catalogue of generalized principles that interaccommodatively govern all transactions of Universe. It follows that the more specialized society becomes, the less attention does it pay to the discoveries of the mind, which are intuitively beamed toward the brain, there to be received only if the switches are “on.” Specialization tends to shut off the wide-band tuning searches and thus to preclude further discovery of the all powerful generalized principles. Again we see how society’s perverse fixation on specialization leads to its extinction. We are so specialized that one man discovers empirically how to release the energy of the atom, while another, unbeknownst to him, is ordered by his political factotum to make an atomic bomb by use of the secretly and anonymously published data. That gives much expedient employment, which solves the politician’s momentary problem, but requires that the politicians keep on preparing for further warring with other political states to keep their respective peoples employed. It is also mistakenly assumed that employment is the only means by which humans can earn the right to live, for politicians have yet to discover how much wealth is available for distribution. All this is rationalized on the now scientifically discredited premise that there can never be enough life support for all. Thus humanity’s specialization leads only toward warring and such devastating tools, both, visible and invisible, as ultimately to destroy all Earthians. Only a comprehensive switch from the narrowing specialization and toward an ever more inclusive and refining comprehension by all humanity-regarding all the factors governing omni-continuing life aboard our spaceship Earth-can bring about reorientation from the self-extinction-bound human trending, and do so within the critical time remaining before we have passed the point of chemical process irretrievability.

Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviours that will avoid extinction.

Living upon the threshold between yesterday and tomorrow, which threshold we reflexively assumed in some long ago yesterday to constitute an eternal now, we are aware of the daily-occurring, vast multiplication of experience generated information by which we potentially may improve our understanding of our yesterdays’ experiences and there from derive our most farsighted preparedness for successive tomorrows.

Anticipating, cooperating with, and employing the forces of nature can be accomplished only by the mind. The wisdom manifest in the Omni-inter-orderliness of the family of generalized principles operative in Universe can be employed only by the highest integrity of engagement of the mind’s metaphysical intuiting and formulating capabilities.

We are able to assert that this rationally coordinating system bridge has been established between science and the humanities because we have made adequate experimental testing of it in a computerized world-resource-use-exploration system, which by virtue of the proper inclusion of all the parameters-as guaranteed by the synergetic start with Universe and the progressive differentiation out of all the partshas demonstrated a number of alternate ways in which it is eminently feasible not only to provide full life support for all humans but also to permit all humans’ individual enjoyment of all the Earth without anyone profiting at the expense of another and without any individuals interfering with others.

While it takes but meager search to discover that many well-known concepts are false, it takes considerable search and even more careful examination of one’s own personal experiences and inadvertently spontaneous reflexing to discover that there are many popularly and even professionally unknown, yet nonetheless fundamental, concepts to hold true in all cases and that already have been discovered by other as yet obscure individuals. That is to say that many scientific generalizations have been discovered but have not come to the attention of what we call the educated world at large, thereafter to be incorporated tardily within the formal education processes, and even more tardily, in the ongoing political-economic affairs of everyday life. Knowledge of the existence and comprehensive significance of these as yet popularly unrecognized natural laws often is requisite to the solution of many of the as yet unsolved problems now confronting society. Lack of knowledge of the solution’s existence often leaves humanity confounded when it need not be.

Intellectually advantaged with no more than the child’s facile, lucid eagerness to understand constructively and usefully the major transformational events of our own times, it probably is synergetically advantageous to review swiftly the most comprehensive inventory of the most powerful human environment transforming events of our totally known and reasonably extended history. This is especially useful in winnowing out and understanding the most significant of the metaphysical revolutions now recognized as swiftly tending to reconstitute history. By such a comprehensively schematic review, we might identify also the unprecedented and possibly heretofore overlooked pivotal revolutionary events not only of today but also of those trending to be central to tomorrow’s most cataclysmic changes.

It is synergetically reasonable to assume that relativistic evaluation of any of the separate drives of art, science, education, economics, and ideology, and their complexedly interacting trends within our own times, may be had only through the most comprehensive historical sweep of which we are capable.

There could be produced a synergetic understanding of humanity’s cosmic functioning, which, until now, had been both undiscovered and unpredictable due to our deliberate and exclusive preoccupation only with the separate statistics of separate events. As a typical consequence of the latter, we observe our society’s persistent increase of educational and employment specialization despite the already mentioned, well-documented scientific disclosure that the extinctions of biological species are always occasioned by overspecialization. Specialization’s preoccupation with parts deliberately forfeits the opportunity to apprehend and comprehend what is provided exclusively by synergy.

Today’s news consists of aggregates of fragments. Anyone who has taken part in any event that has subsequently appeared in the news is aware of the gross disparity between the actual and the reported events. The insistence by reporters upon having advance “releases” of what, for instance, convocation speakers are supposedly going to say but in fact have not yet said, automatically discredits the value of the largely prefabricated news. We also learn frequently of prefabricated and prevaricated events of a complex nature purportedly undertaken for purposes either of suppressing or rigging the news, which in turn perverts humanity’s tactical information resources. All history becomes suspect. Probably our most polluted resource is the tactical information to which humanity spontaneously reflexes.
