At least a (3rd order) cybernetic epistemology, one that comprehends complex systems, is required to understand such hyper-geometric progression as is driving us today toward l’Avenir.
The scientist once used the retort and the alembic, but now dna and nano-molecular machines, which cannot go beyond the physical but are revealing the subtler truths about the physical and it is those truths which are now accelerating us toward what was perhaps their original assumption, one of “completed nihilism” (as the passage in synthesis suggests) and this certainly has consequences, regards the journey of the evolution of consciousness and ideals of Human Unity.
