Indeed, anyone who has stirred a thick sauce will understand this: as you slowly turn the spoon, concentrate on the patterns formed by the various parts as they inevitably assemble into a satisfying, symmetrical whole, you are brought to wonder how it is that every time, without fail, all the composing parts will combine themselves into perfectly harmonious proportions. So you stir away, dreamily, gradually allowing your mind to plunge into the strange alchemy taking place inside the pot, and then it happens: all of a sudden you are given an understanding of the most primal workings of the universe. For indeed this is how the Universe works. A forming galaxy merely obeys the same simple laws as a béchemel sauce. (Say Hello to Jupiter, page 352)
If movement is the ancient orthodoxy that has dimensions, scientific orthodoxy is a mixture of accuracy and confusion. Movement carries over into the hierarchy of natural social interactions and, as cricketer-turned-gamekeeper Ian Botham says of anti-hunt protesters, they
"lack the intellectual and social skills needed to persuade.. What makes them all the more tragic is that they are so high on their self-righteousness that they cannot see that real animal welfare is about complex choices. The fox they save today may decapitate a dozen chickens tonight - and eat none of them. Equally, the gamekeepers are all that stands in the way of predators devastating rare birdlife." (DT)
A social-media of individuals delivers partial information; nothing is either wholly good or wholly bad. The development of the whole contains both. The ancient truth was development of the whole, and the information that becomes the wisdom of the tribal witchdoctor.
The stigma of 'primitive' tribalism is merely the innate bigotry of warped science that devalues holistic development (in favour of parts.) Whole development, a whole person, rituals of puberty (time and hormones.) Today's 'facts' of transgender equality are taken outside of the development of the human from birth to puberty, and a recipe for warped confusion (see prev.)
A human as a whole entity has toiletry and genital functions that are similar, and the time-factor in the development is therefore critical. By ignoring invariable time (symbolised by a spiral), warped science ignores the whole development of an organism (in time and space) and hence the distinctions between front/back, top/bottom, inside/outside.
The accuracy is simply a result of confusion that distorts rhythms and has no elegance or proportion (the profane serpent of inarticulate words or news.) Quite a useful analogy is when the sun on a dull day can be mistaken for the moon. Perception confounds, but time, space and movement are the true feeling.
The confusing illusion of variable time isolates perception with the logic of measurement (NASA natch.) In Dark Star, the 1973 classic sci-fi film from Carpenter/O'Bannon, the AI (bomb) can be likened to an expressive algorithm that confuses data with reality. Phenomenology attempts to reconcile perception with intent, but any rational philosophy tends to minimise the role of articulate motion (rhythms) that one hears in African drums of the old jungle.
In like vein, modernity lacks the spirit of movement and hierarchy, epitomised in the monetary reason of Ayn Rand's Objectivism. Rational thought devalued into the illusory AI universe of ones and zeros. The mirror of illusions (so attractive to Ditko), persuasive to the head but deadly to the active body in pursuit of goals (hunting, mating, eating, drinking.)
