What you are asking for is a quantum leap in thinking. I know i already
pasted this in another post but here it is:

"So what Newton did was say, in effect, `We're going to
presume there's such a thing as instantaneous change, and see if we can
find
ways of determining what it is in various applications.' The result of
this
presumption is the branch of mathematics known as the calculus, which
every engineer uses today. Newton invented a new form of reason. He
expanded reason to handle infinitesimal changes and I think what is
needed
now is a similar expansion of reason to handle technological ugliness [
feel free to substitute here whatever you like: Religion, politics,
social studies, environment, welfare, war, economics]
. The trouble is that the expansion has to be made at the roots, not at
the
branches, and that's what makes it hard to see.

[skip a few paragraphs]

``But what's happening is that each year our old flat earth of
conventional
reason becomes less and less adequate to handle the experiences we have
and this is creating widespread feelings of topsy-turviness. As a result
we're
getting more and more people in irrational areas of thought...occultism,
mysticism, drug changes and the like...because they feel the inadequacy
of
classical reason to handle what they know are real experiences.''

When Bell invented the telephone, 'phone sex' was the last thing on his
mind.
To say that having a phone is immoral is wrong.
( I know i am sounding like the NRA cliche: people kill not guns)

Pirsing never really found the answer to his "quantum way of thinking"

the three dimensional chess game is still going on and we don't have the
tools.

The "calculus" of good and evil has not been invented yet, or to put it
more correctly, the calculus

We are going around in circles. Or what I like to call the M.C. Escher
nightmare. You keep climbing those stairs, yet you are back where you
started.


Any of you up to he task?
