THE MYTH OF DARK AGES

Planetary crisis is the only message we can hear. Our dumb animal nature responds to the popular warning cry -- taking up the call and passing it on. Stressing to our neighbors how "urgent" this matter really is...

Is it urgent? Yes -- but not for the popular reasons. It is critical for the formation of tomorrow's world that we human beings assume our appointed place as mass-scale ecological custodians. This is part of the eco-ethical, neo-Imperial planetary ethos which is everywhere being manufactured. This is the demand placed upon our hearts and mind AS IF the Biosphere herself were infiltrating culture & calling us to our world-historical Task.

But is this global warming? And are we the cause? And what can we do to reverse its effects? Or should we call it "climate change" since it could reverse itself unexpectedly and bring on the ice? Are our computer climate models correct? We simply don't know. Are we inputting the right variables? Again -- we have only our current guesses. While it is true that the "folk" do not take seriously many important factors, it is also true that the scientific "folk" equally ignore all those elements which they have not trained themselves to take seriously. The pulsating crystalline heart of the Earth? The interface between the magnetosphere and solar plasma fields? The relationship between bio-electricities and atmospheric chemicals? Who knows! Yet the "people" of science do not feel obligated to study the problem with all their options on the table. Aren't these the same pinheads who swallowed the Big Bang ideology without complaint?

It is important what they are saying? Or is it far more significant that they have achieved their greatest creative consensus ever? This is without a doubt the most potent scientific "WE" that planet Earth has ever seen?

The Right Wing correctly points out that we cannot sure, that the mere fact of MASS CONSENSUS is not proof. Yet the Right Wing does not yet realize that the proposed changes are necessary anyway. To hell with climate change!

I don't want to breath car exhaust in my cities.
I don't want smoggy sunsets, or to eat mutant toxic fruit or have children born with missing limbs.
I DO WANT the biosphere to function at full power with optimal regenerative coherence.

Why do I want this? She, herself, in me, wants this.

As we have webbed ourselves together electronically this imploring cry has become louder, clearer -- stronger. This is an historical fact of greater certainty than our climate models.

Those who are not yet adult enough to deal with the real situation, fraught with uncertainties, are not exempted from their world-historical duty. If they will not follow the carrot then they must race against the stick -- and so the lethargic multitudes come slowly to this idea that there is a SURVIVAL EMERGENCY. After all, they lack the energy to be motivated by anything else.

And: fine.

The closed heart, sealed in its enclosure of "human individuality," MUST be cracked open, must learn that "care for Earth" is the centerpiece of the New Faith, MUST be converted to the aesthetic-ethic of the Biosphere. Such is the demand of eco-ethical neo-Imperial Planetary Humanity which now comes upon at the hands of all parties on all sides of every social debate.

The Right Wing nuts are correct -- but their evaluations are backwards. It is a vast international conspiracy using dubious science -- but we MUST take new and dramatic action with the global biospheric situation as our reference point.
