If the half-truths of the madhouse of CERN for theories of certainty occupy the higher echelons of modernity, it might explain why so many facts in our benighted culture lead to utter confusion. One is constantly told everything and ends up knowing nothing.
R Crumb was interviewed the other day by Reilly in a typically elliptical ramble. At one point he said he was drawing less but doing more reading and research. He'd been researching particularly the medical and other implications of Covid-19.
Even so, he admitted he was clueless and all he could say is, "What the hell is going on?!?"
That seems relatively typical, in that the certainties of science require a certain type of head to understand them, same as the statistical analysis of quanta phenomena requires an AI supercomputer.
The fact that Crumb is totally intelligent and also clueless seems to say a lot. What I think it says is that the vanishing-point of technique always is pointing to AI.
The vanishing point is what is found or what is pursued in a field of pure geometry - which is what quantum physics is. Light has innate geometry (straight-line perspective) and Relativity is the gateway to the CERN mathematical universe of today. The geometry is through light or electricity (photons or bosons) into the large hadron nucleotides of fundamental research.
The gateway is through reflections or copies or repeats since this is what the geometry of light is. The research is conducted inside a geometric universe where copies and reflections are par for the course.
Inside the universe, everything can be copied or split-ip and reformed. These are the sterile "facts" that seem.to attract the Nobel committee.
A universe where everything is planned always approaches the vanishing-point of technique because it is a product of pure geometry and mathematics.
These certainties convince the ego which builds the modern order. Crumb also mentioned the late 19tj and early 20th century American streets, houses, towns and cities that he held in high esteem.
The building-over of beauty is a modern innovation of certainty (see Ayn Rand The Fountainhead).
The unplanned, the naive and expressive, the rough craftwork are the product of natural symmetries that are powerful and illogical. Sun/moon; predator/prey; male female.
This is the fertile area of spontaneity where the ramshackle and the frankly filthy are swathed in beauty. In this old-time universe, the psyche and the physical reality are intertwined. Where earthy crudities pepper the air nostalgically (Hyboria, natch.)
Physical and psychic strength are products of a fecund universe, one which cannot be cleared of dirt and germs, and where symbols of authority are often dynastic.
The scene is typically ramshackle; areas which develop at their own pace and in their own way. The sense of psyche or spirit is associated to physical ruin.
GIVE THANX AND PRAISES (MEGATON 3) (Lee Perry arr Dubblestandart)
In Addis Ababa at the time of Haile Selassie, there lived an urchin called Asfaw Yemiru who was scholarly and after attending school started to teach ragged orphans under the trees.
Yemiru needed to build a school, so
"I decided to chance the traditional practice of hurling myself in front of the Emperor's car, with the hope that he would listen to me.. It wasn't a good time to intercede because there had recently been an attended coup.."
Asfaw persuaded him to grant him 300 square metres of land up against the Wingate School wall. (DT)
Life is never perfect, but where the psyche and physical fecundity persist, there is hope and goodwill.
[The collisions in LHC are observed electronically. For example, hadron-hadron collisions produce diffraction patterns that can be observed electronically. The geometry is designed to facilitate electronic observation. Therefore, it can be viewed as an electronic simulator, as opposed to the real.universe that is physical (and that can emanate psyche or spirit). So, maths in a way replaces spirit in the LHC]
