8/16/2019 I Think That There Are Singularities but That They Arise in Complexity and That History is the Shock

1/1

"I think that there are singularities but that they arise incomplexity and that history is the shock-wave of the approach

of an animal species toward such a singularity.

In other words, when monkeys walk toward the mystery, theybegin spouting poetry, solving quadratic equations and

manufacturing instruments to measure the charge of theelectron. It’s a sign that you’re getting close to, uh, the source

of gnosis.

 hat the noetic point source radiates understanding with such

an intensity that the closer you approach it, the more you

understand. !nd the closer a species approaches it, the more

it manifests cognitive activity. o, we dance, we paint, we

sculpt, we poetici#e, we construct complex architectonic

structures because we are close to the source." - $
