THE PROCESS OF GROWING MAN, TRIBE, CULTURE, AND CIVILIZATION IS NOT ONE OF MANUF

THE PROCESS OF GROWING MAN, TRIBE, CULTURE, AND CIVILIZATION IS NOT ONE OF MANUFACTURE.

In every era we use the dominant model of complexity as an analogy for that which we cannot directly explain by operational means.

Humanity has gone through the natural provision era, the agrarian era (things are grown), the irrigation era, the horse era(things are disciplined and trained), the hydraulic era(hearts pump), the gear and pulley era(mechanical), the steam era(big,scary,dangerous), and the industrial era (leading to our friend socialism), and now we are in the computational era and transitioning to the information era in both physics and social science.

Unfortunately, our education system remains a product of industrialism. And it is a disaster. Our social science remains in industrialism, and it is likewise a disaster. And our political and legal systems also remain in antique form, and are equally a disaster.

Human minds and bodies grow and genetics tell us how to grow, and we are the product of the PROCESS of growing. As is our knowlege, as are our cultures, as is mankind.

And just as the operations that we use to move our limbs are invisible to us, the operations that nature uses to grow us are at present only in the initial stages of observation.

We do not need to wait for the mechanism of growth to be better understood before we alter our institutions to rely on growth rather than manufacturing, and on growing humans like trees rather than manufacturing parts for factories.
