All watched over by machines of loving grace from part two...

[points the finger at groups like "the club of rome" : adds what we all know to be true - that "chaos theory" is in everything : even shows us the flaws in "feedback loops" ie scientists simplyfying data to fit their theory - ...if nothing else it will make you think]

"Exploring how computers have changed society. This looks at how the idea of nature as a self-regulating ecosystem is a machine fantasy.
exploring the idea that we have been colonised by the machines we have built. Although we don't realise it, the way we see everything in the world today is through the eyes of the computers.

This is the story of how our modern scientific idea of nature, the self-regulating ecosystem, is actually a machine fantasy. It has little to do with the real complexity of nature. It is based on cybernetic ideas that were projected on to nature in the 1950s by ambitious scientists. A static machine theory of order that sees humans, and everything else on the planet, as components - cogs - in a system.

But in an age disillusioned with politics, the self-regulating ecosystem has become the model for utopian ideas of human 'self-organizing networks' - dreams of new ways of organising societies without leaders, as in the Facebook and Twitter revolutions, and in global visions of connectivity like the Gaia theory.

This powerful idea emerged out of the hippie communes in America in the 1960s, and from counterculture computer scientists who believed that global webs of computers could liberate the world.

But, at the very moment this was happening, the science of ecology discovered that the theory of the self-regulating ecosystem wasn't true. Instead they found that nature was really dynamic and constantly changing in unpredictable ways. But the dream of the self-organizing network had by now captured our imaginations - because it offered an alternative to the dangerous and discredited ideas of politics"

moonlight

a drop in the ocean
and that, that was touched,
its kiss on the edge of the moon.
i saw you for the first time,
and like lovers entwined,
the wind blew the castles,
through the air as we wined and dined.
the waves crashed singing, like a choir of angels,
and you wouldnt stop dancing, romancing.
you looked so handsome under the moonlight
and i hoped that this moment would never ever end.

*the uranium stamp*

you came and tore our souls asunder
so remote and so mysterious.
why were all the children of uranus
singing and dancing.

you came to banish the dark age of kali
to drive the darkness and lies away.
and to push love into every heart.

its spirit does possess a realisation
and it was not blind to this new uprising.
and of living a new life without measure.

you came to set us truly free
and send us on our way
with age old saturnian wisdom...

*the uranium stamp*

so what of this new-age
so gone is that dark age.
what is this reverse of time.

the *coldest angel*
came to bestow on us
peace and harmony.
the genius and the renegade.

where the lovers will love
and the coldest shall crumble.
this new-age to wipe away tears
and will give you 4 uranium cheers.

uranus entered the heavens-abruptly
i did not fear or so i thought
but after the initial tremble
and the destruction of olde
came along mysteries to unfold

this shadow or just the reverse-
of saturnian wisdom
i felt this unconditional presence
a message in his essence
that he who knows and is not blind
that now there will be wonders
that he shall find

then came an inner peace
from all that stood before
and you can only go forward
there is no going back
for he will leave his *uranium stamp*
he shows no mercy

then he will share his love
for life one love and one religion
this spirit that awakens us
itself was back in the midst of time
he will force the truth
he stands only for honesty
then seven years later
the one with the *higher mind*
will lovingly chase us all away....
