We come to the second presentation of 2015. And the title for this year long series is The Future and the New Past. When we say it that way the and as an ampere sign means that they are divided. But the division is between the past and the future, divided by the present. But in the words of Omar Khayyam and the Rubaiyat, the writing hand of fate continues to write, and it isn't that there's a past, but that there is a flow and that that flow is ongoing. The scientific word for it would be it is a dynamic. Time is dynamic.
When one talks about, in engineering or in science thermodynamics, one means of the dynamics of heat. The energy of heat. And this is accurate because time is energy. Its energy is the dynamic. It's the dynamics in Greek. The dynamics. And that that demanis...dynamics is not just a flow as we would understand it. It's not just a current. Not just a stream. It is energy. It is energy which can be given a symbolic characterization by graphing. And when we graph it, when we measure it, when we give it a form, a symbolic form, energy turns out to have a frequency. And the frequency has its familiar wave form. So that energy is wave in graph ability, in measurability.
So that time is also a wave form in its actuality. In its reality. To then graph time as a circle like a clock is an abstracted fiction. To position the energy of the universe, time, as a circle that repeats and has a repetitious iteration falsifies the dynamic so that we misunderstand.
So as long as we continue to look at the dynamic of the universe. And more poignantly, life. And more profoundly, ourselves as living in life in the universe, as being cyclic. We misunderstand continuously on not only every level, we misunderstand levels.
If we take time as a year and we graph its cycle, the characteristic graphing of that is by the four seasons. The nodes of a cross hairs put into that circle of time. And it begins here. It moves 90 degrees to here. It moves 180 degrees to here. 270 degrees to here and returns. New Year's Day. Spring. Summer. Autumn. New Year's in winter. So that the cultural leaning on seasonal graph ability in ritual, in myth, even in symbols of time, has a fictive abstraction quality that haunts it.
So that the Renaissance phrase, about 500 years ago, was that there is a kind of a man who is a man for all seasons. Meaning not that he spans just that circle, that cycle of time, but that he has an energy beyond that circularity, beyond that cycle.
Sir Thomas Moore was characterized as a man for all seasons. Sir Thomas Moore, who became also Saint Thomas Moore. Whose classic work comes down to us. It's a book called Utopia. The perfect society. Written in the early 1500's. And because he was an excellent man for all seasons, he became the trustworthy right-hand man of Henry the Eighth. Who loved manipulation on a colossal scale. Who decided that, uh, he's not going to be just a subsidiary kingdom to Rome, to the Vatican, to the papacy. You take England out of that mix. We're no longer in their cycle. In their circle. The seasons do not belong to them. And especially because there is the possibility right here of a man for all seasons and we want to encourage more men for all seasons. So, we're going to extract them from this fictive Roman papacy empire.
Unfortunately, Henry the Eighth was heavily schooled in mastering those kinds of things and began to master his own empire but he ran into difficulty. He was having difficulty of having a progeny. A son who could succeed him. And so, he would try and try and try six times. He had a couple of daughters. To him, it was useless. The wives were expendable. Femininity was an incidental to a new kind of competitive abstraction and cycle. Henry The eighth, a Tudor cycle. Maintained by our own structure of power and authority.
And eventually that whole Tudor cycle came to an end with the death of his youngest daughter, Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth. Gloriana. Whose reign is always called, uh, the Renaissance. And the man for all seasons and that renaissance, that Elizabethan renaissance with Shakespeare.
Before Thomas Moore's Utopia now came the plays of William Shakespeare that reached way before. And that reach deeper past a now, past a present, into the real energy of time as a dynamic. And when Shakespeare's time energy becomes matured, as it did in his rather short career of writing. Lasted about 21-22 years and he was dead. He was gone. He died at 52. Remarkable. And his plays. profound as they have become, were you at just a really good example of so many other things. Until 1623, when the creme de la creme of Shakespeare's plays, of his mature dynamic of time forms of mankind, of human beings, male and female, tuned, paired going through comedies, going through tragedies. But especially going through histories. That were largely dominated by Royal figures. Kings. The kings and their sometimes in constant queens. But deeper than the histories or the comedies or the tragedies there was a profound penetration to if time is the energy, then the whole development of the universe from that is a blossoming of that energy within its forms. It's like the sap of a tree, and all of the rest of this is the foliage. And sometimes the blossoming, which sometimes is the fruit.
An ancient way of making that graphic is the date palm. It goes back to one of the origins of time forms and civilization. In the wild, the date palm, uh, produces dates that are edible, etc. They can be used for a lot of things. Dried, uh, you can make various, uh, um, **inaudible word** of them with grains and do many things. But when cultivated the date palm under cultivation, under the art of gardening, one is able to up that produce so that the date palm instead of producing several scores of dates, will produce thousands each one. Which gives you a surplus of food stuffs that is commemorated because the fronds of the date palm were used as, uh, a symbol for the triumph of human beings for all seasons, who understood that there is such a thing as a garden within nature that has a particular quality of mankind that makes them human beings for all seasons and beyond. The scientific name for that date palm includes the word phoenix.
It is profound that in 1623 was issued the first folio of William Shakespeare's plays. And it was edited by Ben Jonson, who during Shakespeare's life was always like a competitor to him. Masterful competitor. If someone looks to see who is really close to Shakespeare's, uh, genius, of course, Marlowe's name comes first, but Ben Jonson is always lurking. And because he was so long lived, he sometimes was characterized as, well Shakespeare is the better playwright, but Johnson's the better poet, etc. One of the people uh, uh people who characterized him in that way was stunned when the first edition, the first folio. Quite a large book. A folio came out of Shakespeare. It began not with a comedy. Not with a history. Not with the tragedy. It began with his last great play, The Tempest. So that someone as incredibly man for all season-ness as Ben Jonson saw that Shakespeare is while Ben Johnson's is really masterful about the world and things and events and people and so forth. Shakespeare was universal. He transcended the circularities, the clocks of time, the cycles of time, every which way. Because the key, for him, was that he did not just take a verse vs prose language he took English into a poetic transform of a transform. Shakespeare's English is astoundingly cosmic. Because the original language, old English, has a lot of Germanic Teutonic words and syntaxes and so forth mixed with a kind of a clumsy Latin. And it takes a real scholar now to read. For instance, the classic epic in old English is Beowulf. The greatest 20th century scholar of old English Beowulf was J.R.R. Tolkien. Author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. But he realized. Because Tolkien was really wise. Very deep. Very profound. A man for all seasons on many worlds. He realized that English, old English, had been transformed into middle English in the 1300's, in the 14th century.
And the figure who always personifies that transform, that bringing of middle English into play in such a way that it eclipsed old English forever was Chaucer. But very close to Chaucer's grandeur as a pivotal figure, a man for all seasons in a transform of language. The use of an English language that now had a radiant quality. Not a center, like the ruled center of old English, but had a radiant center that was people centered.
Someone, uh, at the French court one time, uh, Chaucer used to, uh, he was, uh, the wine buyer for, um, the King of England and, uh, uh, various other nobles. So, he traveled to Italy and to France all the time. A connoisseur of wine. They rewarded him. Chaucer's apartment was on one of the gates, uh, leading into London. Uh, very fancy apartment. And his wife Philippa was the lady in waiting to, uh, the royal lady. And, uh, uh that gate was the first gate of the founding of London Ludgate. King Lud used to be spelled with two L's would because his mother was married to a, um, Welsh noble king. Uh, King Lud had a brother, and, uh, his, uh, brother's name was, uh, Lewis. And King Louis became the first king of France. And King Lud became the first king of England. They had the same mother. She married, um, King of Cornwall. Who was so wonderful that they called him Bella Mawr. Bella is very good. Mawr, great. Like the university and the East coast, Bren Mawr. M-a-w-r.
And King Billy Mawr married Anna. And Anna was the only niece of Jesus. He had four sisters. They all, they had boys, but only one had a girl. And only one girl and that was Anna. And so, in a way Chaucer was given a front row seat on English history. And he transformed through a great might the English language, so that middle English swept the field of expression. And because it swept the field in a situation where there was a great entourage with France. And Chaucer was reading in France at the court, and someone asked him, well, what do you write about? And his reply was, I write about a fair field full of folk. I write about human beings in an incredible variety. But in that variety, there are radiance which are like the spikes of the energy. So that there are special people, kinds of people. They are kinds that then characterize together the radiance of humanity in a kind of a delimited grandeur, a set. And within that set, one is able to move out of the seasons into a typology. Into a typology of mankind that is not limited to some kind of abstract tending to fictive geometry, but a new kind of geometry. A geometry that includes the relationalities of motion that more properly is a trigonometry. Which the symbol for it is like the sine wave. The energy wave. The time wave.
And once you get a trigonometry, you can begin to characterize what is going on so that the action now becomes a part of the mathematic. In this way, you're only one step, one more transform with trigonometry to calculus. The difference is that the index in trigonometry are vectors and even in their complex relationality deicers. But in calculus one deal with infinitesimal infinities. Small as you like, large as you like, we can calculate. And once we have the equations, we can refine and refine and refine those equations are mathematical expression to really infinities. All things great and small.
So that for our recent carrier wave of a new time form of civilization ostensibly, it was the year 2000. Not only the turn of the millennium, but the turn of a pair of millenniums. The ancient Greek word for that was an Aion. An Aion. An Aion. A-i-o-n. And that the center, the presence of the present, was the millennium. And once you get to an Aion, the pair of millennia, the millennium becomes not the defining line, but it becomes the bottom of that tuneability of that V. It becomes a, not a low point, but it becomes a zero point. Which means that the energy of the time form, it's sine wave dynamic is graspable trigonometric function. One understands that the crests and the troughs are symmetrical around a zero horizon that does not register but is when reached it, uh, quickly changes its signature from crest to trough or from trough to crest. It's going one way or the other. It's going to a nadir or it's going to a xena.
And when you graph time forms of civilization in this way. Not nature. Nature does not graph this way at all. Nature grafts very comfortably for a long time as seasonal cycles. The weather will tell you. The sun, the stars, the moon, they all tell you. And the way we do things. It all tells you. So that cultures are at home in that natural cycle. That circularity. That seasonal variation. And most of their actions and their meaning. Most of the ritual comportment and its registry in that cycle becomes the basis of one's experience. And this is how we are. This is how we live. We have always lived this way. It becomes tradition.
And when it's put together, the rituals and the mythos, in a very tight way, because while one understands that can be symbolically integral. Uh, well, there you have it. Isn't that it? That's, that's the way things are. That is a deception. That is an appearance. It is, in fact, an imitation. It's not even nature. It's an imitation of nature. Of thinking that because our rituals follow a natural cycle of the seasons, that then, um, the basis of our experience on and tradition and customs on that basis must, uh, fit in and our culture and our nature are, are one. We get it? Don't you get it? You don't like our culture? You don't like our tradition? You don't like our customs? Well, then you're out. You're not only out from us, you are out as a perversion of nature. We can prove it. This is how the conclusions graph and come together and integrate.
And just a couple of days ago that fictive madness erupted in Paris. And there were, a there was a masterful denouement of a pair of brothers, the Kouachi brothers from Paris as natives. But their parents were immigrants from North Africa. It used to be called, and its great heyday when the great, greatest historian in the world at the time of Chaucer, no less, was, uh, Ibn Khaldun. And he wrote a masterful history of the world, The Muqaddimah. Translated into English and put into the Bellingham series masterful. Arnold Toynbee, who studied, uh the, uh, uh, the in which civilizations, the story of history, the shape of it and everything. Ibn Khaldun was his favorite historian.
The Brothers Kouachi are paradoxically related to the Brothers Kucharski, whom you've never heard of before. Nobody knows for nothing. Because this is a learning that penetrates to reality. Just like Shakespeare took middle English and made it Elizabethan Renaissance English. Shakespearean English does to Chaucer's English what Chaucer had done to Beowulf's English. So, it was a double transform. You move from the Teutonic Romanesque quality of grammar rules, cultural biases to a fair field full of folk to Renaissance man. Who is a great star drawn with an unbroken line of the dynamis of time now in a star form. Like the hand. At the center of the hand is the palm, where we call it a palm. The palm of the hand. The palm that, when tutored into the garden of learning, into the orchard of understanding, becomes incredibly fruitful and multiplies incredibly.
The Brothers Kucharski were the ones who, in 1909 bought a discovery, in Antioch, in Syria. And it turned out to be an ancient, buried church hoard. And among them was the great challis of Antioch. Which is the Grail. The Brothers Kucharski with head offices in Paris, branch offices in New York, branch offices in Lebanon and Syria are the ones who recovered the Grail. Who's understanding now is absolutely vanished. And only was apparent for a small 10-to-15-year period. From 1923. 1923, not the 1623 of The First Folio, but 300 years later, in 1923, a great two volume folio set was published.
And when we come back from the break, we'll talk a little bit about the shape of time energy when one moves from a geometry to transform to a trigonometry to double transform to a calculus. Now you have a possibility of infinite refinements.
More after the break.
END OF SIDE ONE
Let's come back.
If the present moment, even if dynamic moves, it simply means that there's more past and that we're closer to the future, doesn't it? That's fictive. When the present moment is transformed it transforms into presence. And presence takes away the fiction of a present point and restores the dynamic to time. So that time now is a continuity not with the past flowing into the future, but with time as energy that has a graphable, measurable sign wave of trigonometric functions. That can refine because it's still usable as geometry and as trigonometry into a calculus. And that calculus has a pair. It has integral equations, and it has differential equations.
It is so well known in every high school of substance in the world on the planet. There are published reference books that are, uh, lists and pages and chapters and hundreds of pages. These are standard integral equations and several volumes because the differential equations can be partial, etc. And, uh, quite many more. And each year the refinement of mathematics is a protean.
All of this comes because there was a reference wave that established calculus for the first time and the figures who established it for the first time there was a pair. Very often one in a universe of symmetries, one runs across parallel persons. It's such an ancient understanding of wisdom that Plutarch is famous forever for having written parallel lives. In the first century A.D. Where you take a Greek life and a Roman life and pair them. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar. And he made a whole cascade of several tens of parallel lives and was working on more when, uh, uh, he finished and passed. A prismatic life of someone who is not limited by the traditions, the customs. Whose experience overflows any kind of present stumbling block moment. Written or not, into that continuity. That time is an energy. It is the protean energy. Not only to free one from the seasons into phases but to second transform those phases into dimensions.
So that time is not a fourth dimension it is the first. It...It's the emergence of energy. Predates the universe because it is the way in which that emergence first occurs. And because there was no time before time as a form, it must occur spontaneously. Out of what? Out of a zero field. Not zero. Not a zero point out of a zero field. Which must be fertile. It must be protean like fertile. With, if you like, the promise or the potentiality of dimensionality. So that before there's any kind of a calibration in time, time itself has spontaneously emerged. And because now it is time instantly it fruits because as fertile heritage into further dimensions. That yes has a geometry it has a three-dimensional geometry and so space has a three-dimensional quality to it. Making with time a four-dimensional frame of individuality. And so, the integral is indeed a natural reference to the way in which pictorial wholeness pictures are, are made. The big picture, the little picture, whatever.
And so, framing, uh, one's reference reality has a very long, um, cultural tradition. One of the basic movements in American Indian dancing is stepping. All tribes in their dancing through stepping at any powwow now, one will come to where the drums come together and, uh, population begins stepping. In Africa, the basic movement is it's hop step. It's jump step. It has this syncopation of iteration that is continuous. It is ongoing. It is a flow. It's not concerned with the present. It's not concerned with the past. Not concerned with the future. It occurs. It's is-ness is that it occurs before there is an is-ness. So, it's mysterious. A mysterious rhythm. Rhythmic. And one of the qualities of that rhythm is that it has in its trans nature the spontaneous emergence out of a zero field. So that there are in an accurate integral always spaces that accompany any kind of, of, any kind of practicality whatsoever. And until you're wise enough to tune them, to pair them, to make a symmetry that then has the rhythm of reality.
One cannot understand that our reference wave about 350 years before 2000 A.D., about 1650 A.D., is the childhood of the two founders of calculus. Newton and Leibniz. Who independently from different sourcing backgrounds, were able to develop simultaneously the art of calculus. Which took a while to mature because there were so few people who could understand it. We always think of Newton as the central figure, and he certainly is a central figure. But very close on, like a brother born minutes later, like a twin, Leibniz. So that when the one matures, the other also matures. A little later. A little less. But nevertheless, the pairedness, the twoness still carries, but carries in a sense of presence. But it's not just the present transformed to presence, but presence transformed to shared presence. That shared presence is Shakespearean. The pure presence is Chaucerian, to use a phrase.
And by the way, Tolkien discovered that there is a gem even better for middle English than Chaucer, but no one knows his name. It's been lost because no one recognized or understood. This is really epical. He's called the Peart poet because one of the surviving, one manuscript survived in the Cotton collection and the Bodleian. And, uh, it's just, uh, the only copy that there was a manuscript. And, um, one of the poems in there was Pearl. Another is Patience. And the other is called Purity. But the center is called Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
And so, Tolkien being Tolkien, when he finished with his old English and graduated transform to middle English from Beowulf to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. And he did the great addition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in the early 1920's about the time that the maturity of the seeds that became quantum physics and relativity came through at the same time. A refinement not only of the language into that kind of presence, but into the way in which a calculus as an art of language began to really mature. So that one began to understand there are transforms that have occurred that very few people have paid attention to, and now is the time to harvest and bring them together.
This is our harvest time. We live now 2015 in a grand harvest time. But before you can harvest, you have to get your populations that are going to do the harvesting together with the sequence of equipment, etc., etc., so that one can have a really great harvest. And like any really great harvest, there is a festival. A time to share the first fruits. Coming up real soon.
But 2015 is a preparation of harvesting. It isn't exactly that the new time form began in 2000. That is like a wobble distortion of actual history, because the actual history is nine years before. And so, the actual year, the perilous year, the penetration to a new time form is 1991. Conveniently, 1991, you can read it forwards or backwards. A palindrome. And the classic photo, photo op, but the new time form. Our American troops in their gas masks and their combat fatigues loaded with lethal weapons by the thousands. Trudging forth in the ancient deserts of Sumeria. While the sky is black with the smoke of 600 oil wells burning at the same time. All torched. The new world entering the ancient origins of the old world in a perilous end of the age hurricane, storm. Whose reverberations have become a haunting curse. Have become the pair of brothers, like the Kouachi brothers, marginalized and then marginalized and then marginalized again until they became demonically terrific against every aspect. And that the slightest impingement carries a death sentence. Because their reference is not Newton and Leibnitz. That reference, that reference wave is about not just calculus, but eventually when it matures into science, into a technology, recently into a technology, first into a science, and then in expressible as a technology, it is the digitization of language. One can turn images in color, in millions of colors into a binary of ones and zeros. If you carry the spaces with the points, you get the spontaneity of the exactness to any degree because one is working now in a very interesting tunable pair. It's a zero field with an infinite field that loves to have something in the middle of the spaces of the space. So that that middle becomes measurable in terms of an integral and this is a quantum.
But the quantum has a parental prerogative. It can go one way or the other. This space in between the next and this. Or that space. And so, we call that chirality. Magnetics. And so, the double when it moves in a dynamic doesn't become a pair of circles that becomes a pair of spirals. It becomes helical. And one gets the double helix as the form of organic life. And it happens to have a very creative aspect.
One of the scientific experiments that Space X is taking up to the ISS, the space station, has, has to do with the way in which proteins self-assemble. In zero gravity they still self-assemble. They self-assemble in a way in which, um, there is a linearity to them. And that linearity means that they make, um, eventually strings. They make fibers which are one molecule wide and high, and any number of molecules in the dynamic extension of it. And, um, because in life there is a helical tendency that is inherent uh, they double as a double helix, and they tend to relate together. And they relate together in fours. Each node of their interchange. And that what keeps that whole structure connected and going is phosphorus. And so, one has a very dynamic quality, not just of a geometry of life, as in a genome. Or even in a trigonometry of life. Which is already very, very sophisticated. But by taking an infinite field as one's proper visionary field that has a differential consciousness in all of its phases become dimensions. Now you have jazz. Now something amazing occurs. And it is paired in such a way that one begins to understand that if you look at the time forms of the energy of civilization, it will have nodes of thresholds of passing through, not just meeting but passing through. And that those nodes indicate then the way in which the time form energy of civilization has double transform since nature's single first dimensional time. So that there are triple time forms and civilization in that transform of a transform.
Linus Pauling in his genius thought there must be a triple helix because he jumped to the right conclusion because he was already, uh, uh, living in kaleidoscopic transform, uh, even as a young man. The first, uh, the first textbook on quantum chemistry was written in the early 1930's by Linus Pauling. At Caltech. When it came time to work with the double helix, he was, he was surprised pleasantly, but reminded that it's. Yes, all right it's a double helix. But the fact is that working with the double helix, working with genomes for quite a while, several generations produced untangling the double helix because like proteins that DNA in that helix, though it is intertwined, and quadrupole connected. Et cetera, etc. It tends to build in such a way that it curves around and then the curvature comes back into play in a kind of a universal circular form and one gets rings. A pair of rings. And it's not like they're separate rings. There before the get go already in a relational. Before dimensions occur spontaneously.
And so spontaneously they can come apart magically. Just like the author that we talked about last week. James C. Wang. A lot of the great experimenters now in science are, are Chinese. Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press in Long Island. And we talked about how it's advanced to the point to where there is a geometry and now a trigonometry that one can understand of the way in which the rings work together and that their interchange as life became more and more complex. Became that it isn't just one time that they connect, but that there is a series again of the connections so that it moves the diagrams that we went to, uh, occur in, uh, a very specific way. They have a means. We have a means to graph now the way in which the interchanges make a chain like an intersecting double helix change within the double corral chirality, which turns out to be initially a symmetry of a pair of chiralities meeting. And this then, uh, multiplies. Um, you have triplets of that. You have quintuplets of that and so forth. So that the very structure of the way in which untangling the double helix. This is published in 2009, it's already out of date. In six years on this level, uh, it's almost generations.
Why? Because the dynamic increases its time, energy, facility, and capacity. The simple English way to say it, it accumulates its transform energy. And the accumulation is not only in terms of that carrier wave, but like good physics it's also the accumulation of the reference wave. But that reference wave for us, it was 1650 the mathematization of language, Newton, Leibniz. But there was a there were previous reference waves, but the previous reference wave to 1650 was 1000 years before it, which was 650 A.D. And it was the reference wave, not for the carrier wave, but the reference wave for the midpoint, the millennium. And when you look at that previous reference wave, the energy of that previous reference wave was almost nil in Europe. It was raised to a fine level in China. The Tang Dynasty really outdid all of the dynasties, not only before it, but even since then. The great age of China. **inaudible word or two**.
At the same time paired, the energy went to Muhammad. To his visionary acumen to be able to deliver The Quran. And not only that, but a hadith that where one understood that there is a lot to unpack and unfold. And part of the unfolding comes not just in reading it, but in hearing it. In having heard. Thus, have I heard. Recite this **inaudible word**. And here, what are the famous recitations of a special **inaudible word** was about how the Bedouin moves in a sea where no oras has ever been dipped, is free to go. To navigate.
One of the stories of The Quran concerns the cave of the seven sleepers. It's a cave in what is today Turkey. In what was in the metropolitan area of ancient Ephesus. There was an Islamic French savant, Louis Massengill, who was so magisterial that he was able to see the mystics of Islam in a really protean, double transform way, a shared presence. And he saw that here is, here is a genius mistake that nobody has understood properly. Al-hajj. And he wrote a four-volume biography and displaying not to digest him, but to show the four volumes of translated into English and published also in the Bolligan series.
But when he was in the cave of the seven sleepers, as a masterful Sufi of French origin, he recognized there something here in this huge cast sculptured with its energy forms engraved in it. And he recognized this as the tomb of Mary Magdalene. Is buried here in the cave of the seven sleepers. Because one can awaken from a time period in a so-called future and be all current still, if one carried presence with oneself. Oneself was not just a self but continues to be a spirit that is once again. Not in the present, but in presence. And as long as time is in its continuity, it has a tensegrity to be able to make forms that are real. And thus the artist and the scientists are tuned forms from the field of vision of infinite consciousness and the flow to trance flow of history as a differential delta of many rivers. And that this is the ecology of consciousness.
The Brothers Kouachi in 1909 realized what they had was extraordinary. Had been hidden away for who knows how long. Probably at least 1700 years. They contacted a Swedish genius. Gustavos Icin. He lived to be 93 years old. Uh, he was one of the founders of Sequoia National Park in 1890. Uh, his collection, the Gustav A. Icin Collection. Unprocessed. No one's ever processed it. It was indexed. It's in San Francisco at the Academy of, uh, of science. Still in storage. Like the Grail itself is crated and in storage in New York, on the, on the Hudson River. Up in a monastic origin museum called the Cloisters. Like the end of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's just been tuned, entombed in warehouses. There's nothing worse than an academic death.
So that part of the reason why there is a Kouachi brothers is that there is a complete obliviousness to the brothers Kucharski. Etc. etc. etc. etc..
Next week we'll take a look at how all of this begins not simply to evolve but to jump from evolution to a different accumulation and then jump again. That's how we become interstellar.
Next week.
