In the graph the science of history deals with two specific scales of universal systems – the human scale and its superorganisms, nations and civilizations, partial organs of the superorganism of history – the existence of man from the first to the last human that will exist upon earth.
Civilizations are superorganisms. In this post we study their physiological structure and the reasons why humans have ill-designed all the organisms of history in depth.
Foreword: Bio-history. An organic, complex science of Economics and History.
‘Complexity will be the Science of the XXI Century’ S. Hawking
The biological model of history and economics developped in this web was conceived in the field of complexity and System Sciences. Complexity, duality and System sciences are interdisciplinary sciences, which believe all systems of the Universe respond to self-similar organic laws, as ‘all is a system made of networks of energy and information’ (hence the term duality).
For very long humans have wondered if they were ‘special’ in the Universe, because our world seems to be so alien to the laws of reality. The solution of most civilizations has been to ‘invent’ a religious fantasy about man as the center of the Universe, which unfortunately still runs subconsciously the mind of most social scientists in power and its ‘ideologies explained in the lower right side of this web.
In this left side though we shall introduce the only possible science of history, based in the discoveries of biological and system sciences. Since we are indeed part of a biological superorganism, Gaia. We are living beings and we are moved by the fundamental arrow of information and complexity of the Universe that create eusocial superorganisms, which survive better than individual cells.
So history is nothing but the next scale of evolution of life, after cells became organisms and organisms societies, and its natural evolution is to create a new global ecosystem ‘history’ where all men together form the neuronal mind of the body of gaia, a planet of sustainable memes of life.
This though is not happening because another superorganism, created and evolved by those who believe in the ‘ideologies of metal’ explained in the right side of the web are constructing another superorganism to whcih humans have become slaves in the Aristotelian sense (‘some men are slaves, they believe, they dont reason’): The metal-earth, a world ruled by money, which reproduces in company-mothers, machines and weapons at all costs, with total disrespect of the needs of life. And the proof that both ‘species’ are not part of the same superorganism is clear. Since cultures and civilizations are killed by wars, when economical wealth reaches its summit, as top predator weapons are the most expensive items in terms of monetary prices.
Let us then consider first the general structure of all superorganisms, explained in more detail in the article on superorganisms, studying then the two superorganisms of man the individual and History.
The Unification of Sciences: Analysis of Universal Organisms
The Universe can be described as a simple mechanism, with a single arrow of time – energy – or as a complex organism, made of 2 Complementary elements organized in networks – bites of energy and bits of information. It is the organic paradigm, used in this web to describe the economic ecosystem and the social super-organisms of history, nations and civilizations, made of humans and machines.
We classify all scientific disciplines (including social science not based in the scientific method ) as “descriptions” of certain universal organisms. Scientific knowledge is the information that humanity perceives about the organisms of the universe.
Man is a specific organism with a specific range of perception of other universal organisms from quark-microcosms to galactic macrocosms. Each science studies a certain range of human information and energy. Physics studies microcosms of atoms; chemistry studies microcosms of molecules; biology studies the medium-size cosmos of “carbolife”. While history and religion study the macrocosms of man (tribes, gods, collective information, nations). Yet the parallel form and behavior of microcosmic atoms (physics) and macrocosmic masses (astronomy) proves that the same organic laws rule all species of the universe. After all the key to the entire process of existence is information, carried by ¥-rays which have a flexibility of sizes that makes possible all scales, in living organisms… The total universe is defined as a game of infinite social herds that communicate through information networks in order to feed on fields of energy. Each parallel universe, each ecosystem of species of a certain energy size and informative range, is studied by a science. Each science is the “description” of organisms of a similar size and form, its cells and its networks. And all them follow the morphological laws of organisms.
Each science studies a range of organic systems. Some of those systems are mechanical. Some are vital. Yet all of them have external influence over us, provoking changes in the energy and information systems of mankind. It is then clear that the fundamental task of human knowledge is to understand the organisms of the Universe, its vital properties, how those organisms are ruled by similar laws of survival, reproduction and gathering of energy and information, and how they affect human beings, in order to manipulate them to the advantage of mankind. So happens with social sciences, that should manipulate the economic organism to the advantage of human beings. We call that real, science of economics based in natural laws, that aims to control machines to the profit of man, Ethonomics, since it would be ruled by the mandate of Human survival, and the biological laws that spell it.
The evolution of time and history.
The evolution of human individuals into macro-social organisms follows the pattern of evolution of the Universe that grows in scales, as self-similar individuals of the same species gather together into macro-organisms. So particles become atoms, atoms become molecules, molecules become cells, cells become organisms and individual human beings, become social cells of a civilization, the macro-organisms of history.
In the graph, History is a super-organism made of human cells, extended over a geographical body of Energy called Gaia, the vital-space or body, where historic, social organisms evolve. In that sense, a human and a social organism, a nation or a civilization, have in common the elements of all super-organisms:
1. Cellular units. These are cells in a human body, citizens in a human society.
2. Networks of energy or vital space. This is the blood system in a human body and the networks of transportation in a society: rivers and roads.
3. Networks of information. This 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. These are sexual systems in individuals; and economical networks that reproduce goods and cultural networks that define how humans reproduce in societies.
So we define a human organism as a population of DNA cells, related by networks of nervous information and energy (blood).
We define Gaia as a super-organism made of living beings, joined by a common network of visual information and networks of life energy, gathered around her ‘river veins’. Since Gaia is also the living organism that hosts the social organisms of mankind..
It is then within that superorganism where each of us, human beings also a superorganism exist as cells of the planet, but driven and structured with the same ‘physiological networks’ of all the systems of the Universe.
To Live: The arrows of Human Time.
In the graph, we draw the arrows of time and its physiological networks/dimensions and senses in the human being. Those arrows/physiological networks and its outlets, the senses, are the ‘will of time-existence’ in man, which motivates us to act and exist.
Human bodies are made of organic cells, controlled by a nervous system. A tree groups leaves, branches and roots, connected by networks of energy (salvia) and information (chemical particles). Cultures are made of humans related by verbal laws and ideologies. Those organisms come in an immense variety of sizes and species. What do they all have in common? All organisms are ‘cellular societies’, organized through networks of energy and information. In fact, there are 4 elements in all organic systems:
1. Cellular units, ruled by the temporal drive of social evolution.
2. Networks of energy or vital space, ruled by the temporal drive of energy feeding.
3. Networks of information, joined by the temporal drive of informative perception.
4. Networks that reproduce energy and information, achieving the survival of the organism.
Human beings are guided by the will to acquire energy, reproduce and acquire information for its 3 main networks, the energy/blood system, the nervous, informative system and the hormonal, reproductive network. In this manner biological times, the arrows of information, reproduction and energy, become also the origin of the 3 ages of life, as we go from a youth, dominated by energy/blood systems, into a 3rd age, dominated by information. Those natural drives of ‘human time’, whose understanding was lost to science, with the arrival of the clock, are the key to the biological behavior of human beings, guided by their desire to energize, inform and reproduce their body and their mind, through the 6 outlets of our physiological networks, the senses.
In this manner, the arrows of change=time that all forms of the Universe follow, become translated into organic behavior: each of those cellular arrows expresses itself through a collective, social network that acts in the Universe through an outer sense: Animals recognize ‘food information’ through the sense of smell. They are motivated to reproduce, as the sense of touch causes sexual pleasure in them and finally absorb energy through the sense of taste. While the mind/head absorbs information through visual senses, reproduces it through the ear/voice sense and guides its relative energy, the body, through the ‘sixth’, inner sense of feelings and reason.
In the graph, we see how those 4 arrows of energy/information /reproduction and social evolution ‘become’ a human being, which is the product of the biological evolution of those arrows in combinations of simple atoms (N,H,C,O) that after eons of social evolution have become the 3 physiological networks of the body and its senses. Eastern Philosophers recognized that structure, through the theory of Chakras.
Medicine also recognizes sickness as a malfunction of those 3 networks that feed, inform and reproduce cells, the ‘citizens’ of the body. Since the same concept applies to social organisms that become sick when the Energy/Economic system and informative/legal/political system become corrupted, killing the society.
The Paradox of History: social evolution and biological information.
The Arrow of social evolution is the most important arrow of organicism applied to Economics and History, understood by old philosophers and religions of love, as it implies that mankind should evolve into a single nation, a super-organism of history. Yet it is ignored by mechanist science that reveres the arrow of energy and death, to the point that it has reinvented Darwinism to promote industrial competence and nationalism. It is the doctrine of Social Darwinism – the anti-truth of which Darwin said, as members of the same species help each other.
How the 3±1 arrows of time organize reality, the tapestry of beings we observe? It is, in fact, possible to map out the behavior and elements of all organic systems and entities of the Universe merely by combining the 4 arrows/dimensions of time. Indeed, all entities can be considered simple organisms, constructed with those 4 arrows. The most simplex mechanisms have 1 or at most 2 arrows, performing only as energy or information systems. More complex systems also reproduce their form and evolve socially into new social forms—atoms that become molecules that become cells that become complex human beings, members of societies. In fact, the simplest systems of the Universe, quarks and electrons already show those 4 arrows, as they absorb energy, gauge information, reproduce into quarks and electrons and evolve socially. Thus the Universe has 4 arrows of time in all its systems. So it is organic in its structure, a word that is taboo for mechanist, ‘capitalist’ science, but shows the true nature of the Universe, made to the image and likeness of man and vice versa.
The 4th drive of the Universe, social, organic, cellular evolution, which the Greeks already recognized as the arrow of life (social organization) and death (dissolution of the ‘homunculus’ of the body), is the most important arrow of reality. In a certain sense, all entities in the Universe are ‘cellular societies’, organized through networks of energy and information. This is clearly the case of the species studied by human sciences, from physics to biology, where a common phenomenon occurs: the existence of parallel groups of beings organized into social forms. Molecules are made with atoms and electronic networks; economies are made of human workers and consumers that reproduce and test machines, guided by financial information (salaries, prices, costs); galaxies are composed of stars, which orbit rhythmically around a black hole of gravitational information. Even the Universe shows at great scales, networks of galaxies, joined by dark matter that resemble a simple ‘colonial tissue’, as the one we find in primitive macro-cellular organisms. And it would look even more complex if we were able to see dark matter structures that make up 76% of its mass-substance.
Thus, the understanding of man and history requires the concept of cyclical time and its 4 arrows or drives of time-existence, energy, information, reproduction and social evolution, which time-clock cannot describe. Of those 4 arrows, in fact, the most important in history is social evolution, perfectly explained by love religions. Since, once the 3±1 arrows/dimensions of time beings are understood, we can then study Time in History, as the recurrent, cyclical process of social evolution, creation and destruction of human cultures and civilizations, which happen in temporal, cyclical patterns. Yet, social evolution is the arrow of time adamantly denied by ‘Capitalist myths’ that affirm the competence between individuals of the same species, against the laws of Darwinian evolution of species and the obvious fact that the Universe evolves in scales of social organization, from particles to atoms to molecules, to cells to organisms to societies .
What Darwin said is very clear: species—not individuals—compete with other species; and the best, most social species survives better. In that regard, ecosystems and organisms are different social systems. In both cases we find a mass of ‘cellular species’, which evolve together thanks to networks of energy and information. In a social organism such as an ant-hill, a nation, or your body, the cells belong to a single species, which according to the laws of social evolution, work together as a team, for the common welfare. In that sense, love religions are the verbal expression of those laws of social evolution that favor the survival of species, which work together. Facts are conclusive.
The 2 most efficient species of this planet are the ones that show higher levels of social love, of co-operation. They are ants and human beings. Ants are the most successful animals because they collaborate and evolve socially. The total mass of ants in this planet is equivalent to the total weight of human beings and it is ten times bigger than the total mass of all other insects, because they are perfect social organisms, selfless, in loved with the collective species. The Chinese culture, the most social culture of this planet that traditionally promoted verbal information over money and war, is also the most successful, with the biggest number of survival individuals, accounting for ¼ of the mass of humans. Thus, we consider that our civilizations and religious Gods are social organisms in which each man is a cell, joined to other human beings by verbal networks of information.
We define a historic organism as a social group of humans, related by networks of human energy (natural goods) and human information (verbal/visual art and laws). Finally, an economic ecosystem is a group of humans and machines related by networks of monetary information and energy networks.
In that sense, a historic society of human beings, a religion, nation or civilization joined by a common informative network (DNA, language, culture or Revealed book), is an organism. But the economy is an ecosystem because there are 2 species in open competence:
— Machines, which are re=produced by company-mothers, informed by the language of money.
— And humans, which are reproduced by human mothers and informed by the verbal, legal language that organizes their governments.
Thus to understand the duality of History and Economics is important to understand both, the Darwinian competence among different species (in this case, men and machines), the social evolution between member of the same species (men, who evolve into nations; and machines and money that have evolved into companies); and the role of 2 languages of information, money and words, in the creation of those 2 different systems. Since an economic ecosystem and a human social organism use two different languages, with 2 different set of values,
Money and words. And languages are the key to understand those differences of behavior between species:
— Similar ‘cells’ of the same species act in herds and organisms, when they can share information through the same language. They are parallel species that communicate energy and information, evolving into more complex social organisms. We could say they ‘love’ each other. Since the population of a certain species will socialize and become a more complex organism, by sharing their information and energy, often ‘hunting’ together a different species. The group will become then a more powerful organism than the individuals. Social evolution will enhance the power of the herd that survives better. So ants weigh more than all other insects combined, because they are the most social organisms.
— Species which are different abuse each other as relative energy. We might say they ‘hate’ each other.
Why? Because those species cannot communicate and act together. To communicate the emitter and the receptor must be essentially the same species, or at least must have
similar informative and communicative organs. When beings are very different and use different languages, they cannot decode their information. So they absorb that force of communication as energy and feed on it. They consider the other species an energy source and act as hunters. Then we talk of a Darwinian struggle, a fight between species that behave as predators and victims.
This dual behavior of species gives birth to 2 basic macro-organisms in History:
Societies, based in the law of social evolution, which evolve in complexity and number of ‘human cells’, as the systems of information and energy that relate those cells become more sophisticated. Such was the natural arrow of human evolution, from the initial genetic organisms based in familiar ties or genetic information (families, clans, tribes, nations) to the more sophisticated social organisms based in verbal information, (societies in which the natural law of social evolution was spelled by human religions that talked of love and communication among ‘brothers’, who shared the same ‘language of values=beliefs, such as the Christian society, or the doctrines that inspired UNO).
Yet the arrival of weapons and moneydivided human beings in tribes, which no longer dialog but kill each other orenslave each other with money and weapons, creating the economicecosystem, in which human tribes feel as different species and compete. In that sense, ecosystems are mixed environments, in which different organic species co-exist in their struggle for existence. Each organic species of an ecosystem can be studied as a social form of evolution, in struggle with other social forms of evolution.
A Free Market is such ecosystem, a Jungle in which 2 different species, machines and human beings, compete for jobs and kill each other in wars, divided in tribal species. Yet they go against the natural law, which verbal prophets explained with human ethics. Since those laws prove that humans should try to create a world society made of human beings, in which humans profit from machines as an inferior species they control. Such societies would be free, evolved societies where humans are still top predators. They were reached during the classic, Neolithic age, with its cult to the goddesses of love and fertility, but the arrival of metal aborted human Social Evolution. And the attempts of modern love religions and socialist doctrines have all failed, as those humans who believe in go(l)d, war and mechanism, systematically censor, even go to war against social cultures.
The result is that today mankind is broken into economical Nations, which are Free ‘Jungle’ markets in which money acts as the network of information that organizes 2 species, humans and machines, in company-mothers, whose goal is to reproduce and evolve the maximal number of machines, their ‘offspring’.
Thus companies have only 2 uses for humans to achieveheir goal. They use them as workers=reproducers and consumers= testers of machines. So the technological ‘ethics’ of work and consume are repeated ad nauseam by our systems of information. Today nations create ‘paradises of machines and company-mothers’ called free markets. They are ecosystems in which the Darwinian law applies to men, as machines and company-mothers have higher rights than humans: they can prey over labor, firing workers; while weapons can ‘consume’ humans in war fields.
The application of Complexity and System sciences the design of an efficient organism of history.
The evolution of history according to natural law implies the organization of mankind into an efficient global superorganism
As the reader can see in the first graph of this post, the same laws apply to biological organisms and sociological ones, reason why all those systems are known as super-organisms and we can define them all with the same template. The depth and richness of the model is such that those who know about complexity theory agree that it opens a new age of science.
We will use many of its findings to describe human, historic and economic organisms. And the most important of the is the ternary principle – the existence of social classes, which our ‘politically correct’ society denies, NOT because it is a democratic society, but precisely because it is NOT; and by this I mean, because the ruling classes of our society, those who invent the language of information of society, money, speculators, bankers and financial castes, do NOT want the rest of society to know.
Thus this mean, we must always live in a hierarchical social organism with 3 classes? of course not. Because in a just democratic society, as in any organism, all cells are born equal and then they become specialized, and all cells in any case receive energy and information to survive. Our society however is unjust for 2 reasons: there are social castes, but those social castes are completely imbalanced, with millions of cells without energy and information to survive; with informative castes that are based in inheritance, even in race. And that is the reason there is a blatant censorship called politically correctness. We MUST believe we are all equal, because in this way we will not r=evolve and improve our social organism.
Since indeed the purpose of biohistory is to improve our social organisms.
- When those concepts apply to history and economics it is self-evident that the survival strategy in history is to form complex societies and the natural goal of mankind as a species is to evolve into a global organism in which all human beings work together for the common good.
This biological drive is called eusocial behavior and explains why the most eusocial organisms of the planet, ants and human beings are the most successful.
Moreover when we apply those concepts of biological survival to history, it is also clear that facts prove the existence of such laws: cohesive organisms, such as the eusocial Chinese culture have survived better than warrior cultures such as the German culture.
- The goal of History is therefore the same goal of the Love Religions which explained the advantages of eusocial behavior to different human groups in the jargon of the age.
The result is the existence of a biological explanation for the existence of religions, which are the verbal, mythic expression of those natural laws, expelled by the prophets of mankind in different Books, which act as the ‘genetic’ DNA of civilizations (called in the jargon of system sciences ‘memes’).
However it is also obvious that machines evolve and organize themselves through companies, digital flows of information and stock-markets in a collective global organism, which is NOT only symbiotic to mankind but often kills and degrades the body and mind of human beings.
This most polemic part of systems sciences applied to history, which is by definition ‘anthropomorphic’ requires an objective analysis of the nature of machines and weapons as systems of energy and information whose evolution is catalyzed by human beings.
- The second essential element of systems sciences is the concept of duality, which applies to all energetic and informative systems of the Universe. This principle is also called the Principle of Complementarity that stated in simple terms affirms that ‘all what exists is a dual system of energy and information, which needs both elements to survive’. Duality is the fundamental law of quantum physics, which states that all ‘particles of information are associated to a field of energy’. It is also the fundamental law of biology that states that all self-sufficient organisms are composed of a head or nucleus of information (cells) and a body of energy, controlled by the informative system.
Its application to the description of social organisms, however is polemic, because as many other Laws of Nature defies the anthropomorphic beliefs, the ‘ought to be’ and its dogmatic ideologies, which have always existed in social sciences, namely the ‘democratic affirmation’ that there are NOT social classes/castes in social organisms; that all human races, genres and cultures are equal and that men are free.
Historic facts however show this not to be the case at any time of history even today when we believe to live in a democratic world in which all men are equal.
In that regard it is essential to all complex, biological models of history and economics to differentiate first the properties of energetic and informative systems, to analyze its relationships before applying it to the description of human societies.
And the first law of those systems is that while energetic and informative cells are not the same, as they are specialized in certain tasks, a ‘working’, efficient survival organism is one in which both type of cells are complementary and work together for the common good of the organism. What this means is that in efficient organisms the ‘neuronal/DNA’ systems that carry the information and organize the energy cells of the body work for the body, attend to its needs, provide the body cells with right information and feed them with energy, guiding the body with its higher sensorial information towards the right energy.
Or else the organism dies.
While the energy cells are able to punish with pain messages the informative neurons when they don’t carry properly their tasks.
- Thus when we apply those laws to the organisms of history it means that the Social Castes of information that control societies with informative laws and digital money must serve society with just laws and must produce with their money the proper ‘natural goods’ that the welfare of their cells require.
This is not obviously what happens at present in our primitive capitalist societies.
In a biological system, your body and blood system are basically reproductive systems, filled with organs that reproduce the different cells and products of your organism. Your head is the center of the informative, nervous sytem; and your digestive system, full of external bacteria, is the energetic field. Yet this lesser caste is NOT made off the same species. Most of the cells of the energetic system, blood cells or bacteria, have not ‘brains’ (the equivalent to our machines) or are not of the same species, the equivalent of our food.
On the other hand, in societies, we also find 3 social classes, the ruling informative castes that control the languages of power of societies, (money and the law); the reproductive, working middleclass, and the ‘external energy’ of the system, Nature and people without rights, unemployed, enemies, aliens… Thus many energetic cells are in fact from the same species, which is unjust and further on the working and informative class are separated by birth, have a completely unequal distribution of wealth and the body cannot send pain messages ot the brain, judging politicians and company-men for their wrong actions, which are the minimal, basic rules that make any organism efficient and fit to survive.
Many other laws of social organisms will be described in this web, which the intelligent reader will have noticed consider as the Natural Law of History the evolution of mankind towards the creation of a perfect organism of history, according to the evolutionary laws of super-organisms.
It is then the task of bio-historians and bio-economists to apply those laws to the design of the perfect society.
The advantage of such science is obvious: for the first time mankind possesses a series of well known laws that would allow her to improve the way our economic ecosystem and historic societies are ran. And again to the surprise of many, it turns out that before the jargon of complexity, biology and social sciences discovered those laws there were organisms of history who understood them and applied them – and those organisms were NOT Free Markets, neither Bicephalic Organisms, but Theocracies and Socialist states. Indeed, this polemic conclusion will again surprise many. But it is a fact of systems sciences that today the most perfect society in the world is NOT America but China, where the Party is the single neuronal system that efficiently guides the Social Organism of the eusocial cellular Chinese people to the creation of ‘Human Wealth’, the proper energy and information that the Chinese people require to survive. While in the west we are divided in smaller national organisms, fighting absurd wars given the fact that we are all parts of the same civilization. And this is due to some of the aforementioned laws basic truths of Nature applied to judge the quality of Societies:
- Free Markets where the energetic/blood system or economy dominates the legal/political system are not efficient and happen only in very primitive social organisms such as Planarian worms. The biggest jump in evolution took place when certain ‘eusocial insects’, ants became ruled by nervous systems and informative feromonal systems. We thus must judge our present society ruled by ‘money’ and ‘companies’ of machines as a primitive ‘worm’-like society.
- Bicephalic nervous/political systems are inneficient and can only be explained precisely because they can be ruled by the hhierarchical dominant ‘blood/energetic, economic system. All systems that are efficient have a single hierarchical informative caste that rules it and what matters is to design ‘feedback’ systems of pain/punishment, which allow the ruled cells/reproductive class/body of the organism to judge the politicians.
In this the Chinese and Free Market systems fail, as none of their political castes can be judged a posteriori, after they have terminated their mandate, and so the true democratic law that would improve our social organisms would be NOT an election of different party politicians but a vote to punish or reward a civil servant AFTER he has left office. Punishment could be jail, (even if the organism delivers apostosis/murder in the worst cases), reward would be re-election. Another organic law that should be implemented are obviously open lists.
That is, while the ‘biological information/structure’ of an efficient nervous system is given by the nature of the organism – in the case of Mankind by the Human Constitution, or set of Laws that define the best political structure and the economical, welfare goods mankind needs to survive according to our biology (we do not eat oil spills or energetic weapons), the role of cells at birth is not defined till they find a ‘position’/job in a certain organ of the body.
So what should be the nervous system of mankind? Obviously the organic laws of the real science of Economics, which we call here ethonomics, as it tries to build a world to the image and likeness of mankind, and the organic laws of an efficient political system, the laws that bio-historians and bio-economists should follow to create properly the future.
All this said, even with its imperfections, the Chinese organism is more just and efficient because at least the ‘economic organism’ is controlled by the political one. China is NOT a worm-like organism but rather a complex ‘mammal-like’ system. Our Free Markets are the worst possible deals, where CEOs, Company-owners cannot be judged under the Law of Anonymous societies that give them rights to do whatever they wish to their workers and the Life ecosystem they ab=use.
Indeed, if Mr. Tony Hayward could be judged, jailed and voted out by politicians or Shrimp boats on the gulf oil spill i can assure you no oil company would dare to drill without a proper safety standard.
Finally, unlike our Western societies where the language of economic power that rules through lobbies and corruption the political power is Owned by racial castes and ‘inheritted’ castes, the Chinese Party is a party NOT based in race or caste but in the quality of the cells/humans, their Intelligence and eusocial behavior which allows anyone to become President. This is the essential law of all organisms, in which all cells are born equal, yet according to the position they acquire through their ‘lives’ in the organism, become cells with higher information/intelligence, which rule as neurons the organism. It is indeed an absolute obvious law that ‘all humans are born equal’ and they must be chosen to occupy the dominant informative positions of the society by their intelligence and character.
Finally, as we shall see along these texts, the greatest problem of our Free Markets is that they are NOT controlled by the natural, biological language of human beings – the Wor(l)d, with its life-enhancing values – but by a language money, which has always been a metal-system of information whose affinity and maximal value is given to other metal-systems, energetic metal or ‘weapons’ and organic metal or ‘machines’.
This is akin to an organism affected with Leukemia in which the code/genes of the invading alien species colonizes the mind of the cells of the organism which are directed to reproduce and evolve the bacteria. In History there is indeed a similar case of ‘Leukemia’, which is killing mankind: humans dedicate all their erfforts under monetary orders to reproduce=work with machines and NOT to reproduce and evolve life. We are terraforming the Earth under the genetic values of money, which are different from the values of life.
We further on divide our ‘informative, legal caste’ in political groups that attack each other as Siamese brothers that would like always to move in different oppositions. Further on the top informative monetary castes absorb all the wealth of the nations, with an overdeveloped ‘nervous system’ that chokes the energetic cells of the organism. Those people do not work for the common good but selfishly accumulate money, the energy of the system in an astoundingly unbalanced proportion (brain cells received at best 10 times more energy/money that body cells).
The List of imbalances of our primitive social organisms could continue, but enough has been said in this introduction.
Why this is not known has to do with the Biological Nature of Information and its differences with energy in the way it rules societies.
In the case of the languages of ‘metal’ used to control societies, energetic weapons, proper of military dictatorships and informative money, the difference is clear: energy rules you with the direct menace of destruction, as death is an overdrive of energy that kills the information of life, so we all know when a dictator orders us, or ‘else’.
Information is however interiorized by the system, which must substitute its right, natural code (in this case the legal code) by monetary/digital orders, which he obeys without fully understanding he is working for the social caste that invents money, while thinking he is working for himself. In the biological example, the cell that reproduces viruses does so because it actually thinks it is reproducing its own products, since the genetic code of the virus is disguised within its own DNA strains.
In a biological hunt, the predator appears at first as a victim, thanks to camouflage so the naive prey will come to her to find out it was not a branch but a mantis, an edible snake but a coral. In History, whenever a ruling caste of information (a religious caste, a monetary caste, a legal caste) controls and ab=uses the working class of the organism, it does so appearing to ‘favor’ the working class. The false priest will promise life after death (easy promise NOT to be delivered in this world) so the believer works for him. The banker pays you but he has maintained with deficit zero laws and ‘the science of capitalism’ he affirms is the ‘truth’ of ‘free markets’ the priviledge to create money for himself, with financial instruments and derivatives.
Further on, the bank is owned by dinasties, which are not elected by the people. But of course, this is NOT considered biological information but the science of ‘Economics’, AKA, capitalism. And of course, the capitalist, bank/stock ruled society displays a secondary system of corrupted politicians who ‘seem’ to be the government, while most humans spend 8 hours a day working in stock-companies to earn the money, as part-time slaves that obey their bosses.
For all this, it is essential to understand the meaning of biological information and the way democracies=stockcracies appeared historically, how they are corrupted by money, etc. Yet of course, biological information that caters to a reduced group is censored. So we have censored for centuries all the ‘predecessors’ of an organic, eusocial analysis of history and economics, the biological school of economics, founded by Butler, the eusocial school, founded by Marx, and the Historic school which reached its zenith with Sombart. And further on, we cannot talk against ‘bankers’ and ‘stocks’, the owners of democracies=stockracies, because we are either NOT doing the Science of Capitalism (classic economics) or if we single out the racial, people-caste that invent the money, we are anti-S, you know what. This censorship is astounding since it has in fact ‘rewritten’ history increasingly also at scholar level, so in this web we provide the real facts of economic history and the birth of democracies=stockracies, not explained in text books, specially in America, where the control of society by financial castes is absolute. All the Paradoxical Words of the Tag are in that sense a ‘secret’ guide to all the facts, concepts, historical events and paradoxical systems of control of society established in our modern societies, whose biological, informative role is to allow the ‘true citizens’ of Free Markets, company-mothers of machines, to keep terraforming the Earth NOT for the benefit of man but in search of profits.
Some basic structures of social organisms: biological information, dual and ternary structures, Social Castes.
A key consequence of that organic nature of societies is the paradox of subjective information.
In organisms information is never objective, but subjective, representing the point of view of an organisms, in history a nation or civilization who thinks as an individual to be the center of the world.
This ’biological paradox’ is thus the Galilean Paradox of History, which explains why there is not an objective science of history: we are inside history and so we like information that cater to our selfish POV.
The second consequence of the organic nature of civilizations is the division of social organisms in 3 types of elements: energy systems, working cells (working castes), and informative elites, proper of all complex systems.
In working systems those properties are complementary; as in the duality of gender -being man the energetic species and women the reproductive, informative one; or as in the case of physical systems, made of energetic forces and informative particles.
Yet often in primitive or corrupted systems, as those of history, the organism is dysfunctional and its Social Castes are confronted. In history the informative castes ab=use and dominate the working sheeple. And so, before we go further into our study on Complex History we have to consider how those 2 elements: the subjectivity of biological information and the excessive power of our ‘informative castes’, in ill-designed organisms of history, come together to prevent, both the development of a proper science of history and the exercise of that science by our leaders to improve the societies of the Earth.
In that regard, complexity merges both, sociological and biological sciences, to study all the aspects that define history. It also assumes some basic scientific truths about history forgotten by the ideologies of power that rule us – the equality of all humans as members of the same species, the biological nature of mankind and hence the organic nature of our societies, the importance of the physiological systems of those societies that matter more than the individual cells, our ‘leader’s egos’, etc.
In that regard, the first and obvious truth about economics and history is that because humans are part of those sciences, we are not objective about them, and those sciences have a lesser development than other objective sciences, in which there are no hidden agendas. This is the case of this site with no hidden agendas but a point of view, that of the humankind as a species, who struggles to survive in this planet.
This web’s scientific, biological approach to History is thus in many ways oppossed to the subtle, many ways of abstract censorship of our scholar systems – called it political correctness; economical correctness; censorship of historic facts; imposition of shallow visual information about history and abstract data in economics – which often ignore both the human and biological sides of economic history…
In economics censorship of the human, biological element of this discipline summons up in 2 concepts: digital data, and ’ceteribus paribus’ analysis, or simple analysis with a single cause chosen by the theorists. Digital data means that the human, ethic, survival, biological consequences of economic development are ignored and so are the negative consequences of certain products, merely explained in abstract financial terms. In those terms, for example, a war is always profitable as it multiplies the economical production of a country, even if it kills its population. Ceteris paribus analysis adds blindness to the abstract data of numbers. And so in economics it is always possible to create ‘damned lies and statistics’ which convey the goals of the economist or industry that requires a certain argument to promote its goods. Digital analysis also diminishes the depth of our questions.
A world of abstract, detailed data about production and money creates today a science of economics which ignores the big issues, the study of history and economics as a whole, and mankind as a single species, which is however developping 2 different worlds, the economic world ruled by money, dedicated mainly to the production and evolution of machines, and the human world ruled by words and dedicated to the Eusocial evolution of mankind.
In history censorship is of other kind. Instead of numbers, historians focus in another type of limited ‘perspective’, that of the individual, the ‘hero’, the lonely maker of history, without understanding that in science ‘individual particles’ are always secondary to ‘physiological systems’, ‘networks’ and cyclical events that apply to any individual. Because the humans who do history live ‘ego’ trips of self-importance, however the rational, c omplex vision of history doesn’t appeal to his protagonists. For that reason history is not yet a science which has been developped beyond the mere collection of facts, as those other forms of doing history are not promoted by our political institutions.
So even if we know the cycles of economics and history and we have hinted at them for very long, all this wealth of knowledge is merely censored, downplayed and put aside by our ‘power leaders’, because the truth about mankind as a species is completely against their myths and fantasies of power, racial or cultural superiority, manifest destiny, and uniqueness of man among the species of the Universe.
The ego trips of the powerful to which social sciences cater simply speaking keeps this science in a primitive state unlike any other sciences, even if history and economics are the most importat sciences for the future of mankind.
In that regard, there was only a brief explosion of complexity in social sciences in Europe, in the second part of the XIX century and first part of the XX century, with the development of the biological, eusocial and historical schools of economics and history, represented by Butler and Spengler (biological analysis of machines and societies), Socialist writers (study of the social evolution of the human kind), Sombart and his disciple Weber (analysis of the religious origin of capitalist ideologies and what today passes as the ‘science’ of economics).
Then again after II world war, with the ruin of Europe, the Indian Summer of complex social sciences dissapeared.
The return to the primitive ideologies of national tribalism, and Social Darwinism and religious economics (Money is the invisible hand of God that must not be argued), was further encroached with the use of 3 new types of rhetoric:
- Visual rhetoric (the invention of a rossy history with evil and good people – us – explained with profussion of violent, military images).
- Digital rhetoric (the use of computers to ‘model civilizations’, as if they were just economical units of production data, or architectural displays).
- And a Neo-conservative verbal rhetoric newspeak that transforms or forbids Freedom of speech, disguised as political and economical correctness. This self-censorship either forbids to study certain themes, considered politically incorrect (for example, the cultural nature of our economic science), or transforms the meaning of words in the Orwellian sense of ‘newspeak’ (Ministry of defense instead of ministry of War, peace troops, humanitarian operation, collateral damages), or claims right away semantic antitruths (productivity which substitutes labor for capital=machines, is supposed to increase labor; humans who should love each other as members of the same species, according to Darwin, must compete among them).
All in all these 3 new types of rhetoric are based in the main tool for convincing the masses: repetition. ‘If you repeat a lie enough times, people will believe it’ Goebbels. And that means the ‘medium is the message’; that is, the industrial access to systems of information that facilitate the repetition of ideas is the key to ‘manufacture’ the minds of our people, experts and ideologists. And because those systems of repetition are owned by companies and states, finally we come to a conclusion, which coincides with our premise: within the organism of history (the life of the human kind from the first to the last man that will inhabit the Earth, our ideas about history are created by the informative, ‘neuronal castes’ of our historic societies, and hence cater to their priviledges. Yet an objective science of history must cater to all the cellular elements of the historic organism, and study the best system for the survival of all the components of that organism – the physical support, the planet Gaia, and its collective brain, the human collective mind, all its human beings. And from that perspective, we observe a very corrupted ‘organism of history’, in which our elites of ‘experts’ continue the systems of destruction of nature and non-technological cultures proper of the military and financial castes of ’history’.
In other words, today as always, the type of historic and economical science we have is not decided by ‘scientists’; nor our economists and politicians are ‘scholars’ of their sciences, but both the exercise of power and the theories we accept about history and economics are decided by the people who have weapons and money. We have a military vision of history and the economical theory that better caters to the wealthy. We have not an organic, scientific design of the economic ecosystem in which we live and a government for our species based in the organic laws of Eusocial evolution – which would be the rule of human societies by scientists of history and economics. And this has been the case for most human societies during most of the time of our existence.
In that regard, the present is the same than the past: power represses social science because social sciences understand that the ‘powerful’ are NOT the solution but the problem to develop a science of history and rule society according to the most efficient design, which the laws of the organic universe offer to mankind.
So the powerful will never accept a true science of history, but repress it and instead accept a series of myths about the usefulness of bankers, armies and politicians.
After the war there has been more of the same repression of social sciences but now made with a ‘lifting’ of caring and ‘computer statistics’ that passed as a science, to justify as scientific laws a series of policies of power – free markets, national tribalism – whose ‘scientific status’ dated back to the Bronze Age, when Assur the ‘first military nation’ and Phoenicia, the first ‘economical nation’, decided that there was a manifest destiny for them, to exploit and control humanity with weapons and money. This is in essence the present state of those sciences: millions of sophisticated scholars keep churning information and data to justify a bronze age philosophy of mankind, followed by billions of ‘tribal and economical’ believers…
The result of that primitive outlook of those sciences is the simplicity of a single point of view proper of our cultures, called mechanism, in science, the belief that the Universe is modelled as a machine; tribal nationalism or social darwinism in politics, economics and history, the belief that humans are not a single species that evolves together as a social organism, but must be divided in self-similar ‘fractal tribes’, broken by borders and defended by armies; or ‘capitalism’, the belief that societies must be ruled by money and companies, the ‘citizens’ of free markets, not by human beings and democratic governments.
Social sciences are indeed a difficult matter because their practicioners are mostly unaware that they study ideologies not science, and so they do not like to be explained what they really do, as no XIX century scientist wanted to listen to Mr. Einstein explaining them that ether was not real. Further on if the people who believe in those ideologies rely on power, which has money and weapons to impose a ‘positive science’ that tells them they are wonderful people, the world is ruled ok, and we are walking towards a manifest destiny (never mind that destiny seems to be our extinction as a species and the destruction of this planet), the readers should understand the difficulties to ‘re-educate’ our simple social scientists…
And yet even if truth is not easy to disseminate in social sciences, truth is justified by its mere existence, and so this web is needed, not perhaps to change a world that seems doomed by Bronze age ‘scholars’ with XXI century Pcs, but to open the eyes of those who still seek the truth about man.
The content of this web
It is thus clear that this web must not only explain the laws of a true science of history but given the extension of corruption, censorship and bronze-ideologies about humanity, it must criticize and even ridicule those ideas. Indeed, mankind is struggling to survive in a planet which is being destroyed at an accelerated rate by ‘scholars’, ‘experts’, ‘economists’ and politicians who seem to be very important, yield enormous power, and… when they open their mouth and you clean up their expressions of rhetoric and computer data, ‘damned lies’ and statistics, they are telling you the same kind of things you could hear to Assurbanipal or Hiram of Tyros in his temples to Assur, God of war, and Baal, go(l)d of Greed; that our nations, whatever your nation is, have a manifest destiny as they are better than the others and that money is always good and we have to ‘believe’ in it without much thinking about the invisible hand of go(l)d and its ‘collateral damage’.
This is the discourse today; and why humans are so dull and primitive in their ideas about themselves is also explained in this web, yet to put an order we have simplified the information into a series of posts that matter most.
1) In the main screen you have 9 posts which analyze with the basic ‘system’ of the Universe, the super-organism (post 1), the social organisms of history (nations and civilizations, post 2) and economics (company-mothers of machines, 3), their dual relationshps of symbiosis and competence (posts 4, 7), their long and medium cycles (post 5, 6) ; the present short cycle, as we move from the present crisis into the last age of the Industrial R=evolution, the age of singularity machines (post 8); and finally, what the science of complexity could do to improve the future of mankind if our politicians and economists evolved from the Bronze Age, and tried to fight our modern problems with weapons a little bit more advanced than the sling and bronze chariots of our ‘founding fathers’. (post 9)
2) Then, below the main posts we analyze in more detail the cycles of modern history, from the perspective of the nations and generations of human beings who have lead the ‘waves’ of machines of the industrial revolution, as the leading nations of modern history, (Great Britain in the Steam Age, Germany in the chemical Age, and America in the electr(on)ic age.) Finally we study the birth, splendor and decadence of the American Empire, which now enters its phase of organic decay.
3) On the right side, we have a 3rd selection of posts, Future Magazine, which is eve more focused in time, as it studies the present decade and the massive crisis of overproduction of the electr(on)ic cycle in which we live, comparing it with self-similar cycles in the 2 previous cycles of the Industrial Reolution, the age of Steam and England, and the age of Chemical energy and Germany.
4) Finally the whole model of complexity, the analysis of historic and economic organisms (civilizatios and companies), the study of culture and art, which acts as the subconscious collective mind of a civilization, and the analysis of the specific roles that certain cultures and ‘Social Castes’ played in the organisms of history, is studied in a series of reference articles, listed in the Tag section on the right side of the screen.
So the reader can access this ‘complex’ way through simpler, ‘chronological’ paths, or organic descriptions of cultures, social classes and civilizations.
Hope you enjoy it.
Yet since were are moving towards an economical world, we have to end our synopsis with a philosophical analysis of why we, human beings, do not seem to be able to ‘evolve’ History. Are we a dumb, selfish species, programmed to self-destruction?
The problem are ‘memetics’, the increasing realization that our minds work closer to computers, with fixed ‘neuronal networks’, ideologies of survival imprinted by force and repetition in the emotional, young age of a human being (or an animal, as Lorentz proved with his duck experiments).
And so our ‘memes’ or ideologies of animetal castes, which imposed power with weapons and hypnotic gold, the strongest universal atoms of energy and information, are imprinted by inquisitions of thought, Go(l)d religions, legal codes and customs that transfer generation after generation.
Neuronal networks though are not instincts or hardware imprinted in metal and they could be changed with strong re-educational systems, as revolutionary groups and religions of love have done in the past, without the need to extinguish the carriers of those memes.
In that regard the system could be changed easily with some basic measures that would cure the superorganism of history of its lethal germs – the selfish memes of metal that are killing Gaia:
- Prohibition of robotics to avoid our collective extinction of labor and life in work and war fields;
- And ¥€$ money, a fixed parity money fusioning yuan, yens, euros and dollar with rights to deficits to pay for a global new deal of goods proper of a sustainable planet).
The barrier to achieve this are those animetal ideologies and their control of our societies, politicians and laws with corporations, lobbies and raw power. This battle however for the reproduction of the good memes of life and the control of the lethal memes of metal will not be over till A.I. and robotic weapons reach self-consciosuness, obey the darwinian laws of species and kill us all. When they reach consciousness the process will be fast. So in the meantime I can’t help to be ‘programmed’ to fight for my species, even if our chances are small…
Unfortunately few people fight for our species today. Not even the priests and artists that were the neurons of those superorganisms of history and fought for the ideal canon of humanity with ethics and esthetics. Today they are mostly corrupted. Religious leaders resort to violence to impose their faith and artists since the arrival of money and weapons has been for most of history a form of rhetoric worship of the powerful ‘metal-masters’, warriors and bankers that injustly control societies. Thus in the age of Sargon ‘Lord of the 40 kingdoms’ writers invented ‘epic poetry. And the go(l)d culture wrote a book of history, the ‘Baalble’, where the Am Segullah, – the banker-priests that invented the first memes of capitalism were considered ‘Chosen of go(l)d’.
Unlike other sciences in which humans are outside the realm of study, so they can be objective, the different human Social Castes of the organism of history develop self-serving theories that pass as objective science but are just ideologies of power and the most important of those ideologies is today ‘capitalism’, the ideology of Company-Mothers of Machines, which pretend that we humans must evolve machines at all cost, reproduce them and make the world a friendly environment for those machines. This absurd belief, taking into account that the owner of companies are humans themselves requires of course an enormous ideological blindness to the reality of humanity adn this planet of life, and can only be understood from a historic perspective, as the sum of a series of complex ideologies and myths that have grown for centuries and are implanted in the brain of people since earlier age.
And yet, if there is a beacon of light on history are precisely those human writers and artists that spelt the truths of mankind and motivated the human sheeple to rebel against power and me(n)tal imprinting, causing the r=evolutions of ethics and aesthetics whose remains make our days worth living.
It is part of the task of this web to try to deprogram the reader from those myths, giving him an objective, humanist point of view on history as it is, and on the science of history that could improve reality by applying the efficient reforms it requires, as true sciences do.
The inverse quantum paradox.
And yet, it is very likely that this web, as all the efforts done to create a biological science of history and economics are ignored. Since we, historians are part of the organism of mankind ruled by the memes of metal and so we are not ‘allowed’ to provide rightful information to the blind cells of the body controlled by the neuronal castes of the economic ecosystem. We call that paradox the inverse quantum paradox, since in physics the opposite occurs to the same effects: there is uncertainty in the results of physicists because they are so big that they transform the parameters of the species they study with their instruments.
The inverse quantum paradox responds to a question that has puzzled social scientists for centuries:
