The population explosion is a myth. As we industrialize, down goes
the annual birth rate. If we survive, by 1985, the whole world will
be industrialized, and, as with the United States, and as with all Europe
and Russia and Japan today, the birth rate will be dwindling and the bulge
in population will be recognized as accounted for exclusively by those who
are living longer.
When world realization of its unlimited wealth has been
established there as yet will be room for the whole of humanity to stand
indoors in greater New York City, with more room for each human than at an
average cocktail party.
We will oscillate progressively between social
concentrations in cultural centers and in multi-deployment in greater
areas of our Spaceship Earth�s as yet very ample accommodations.
The same humans will increasingly converge for metaphysical intercourse
and deploy for physical experiences.
Each of our four billion humans� shares of the Spaceship
Earth�s resources as yet today amount to two-hundred billion tons.
It is also to be remembered that despite the fact that you
are accustomed to thinking only in dots and lines and a little bit in
areas does not defeat the fact that we live in omnidirectional space-time
and that a four dimensional universe provides ample individual freedoms
for any contingencies.
You may very appropriately want to ask me how we are going
to resolve the ever-acceleratingly dangerous impasse of world-opposed
politicians and ideological dogmas. I answer, it will be resolved by
the computer. Man has ever-increasing confidence in the computer;
witness his unconcerned landings as airtransport passengers coming in for
a landing in the combined invisibility of fog and night. While no
politician or political system can ever afford to yield understandably and
enthusiastically to their adversaries and opposers, all politicians can
and will yield enthusiastically to the computers safe flight-controlling
capabilities in bringing all of humanity in for a happy landing.
So, planners, architects, and engineers take the
initiative. Go to work, and above all co-operate and don�t hold
back on one another or try to gain at the expense of another. Any
success in such lopsidedness will be increasingly short-lived. These are
the synergetic rules that evolution is employing and trying to make clear
to us. They are not man-made laws. They are the infinitely
accommodative laws of the intellectual integrity governing universe.
