Sphere Packing
•
Bees couldn't help but make hexagons because close packed circles take less area than cubic
arrangements.
•
Humans may be unique because we can't improve in conscious design.
Associating
•
Dr. Penfield = Patterns of thought in the brain [did RBF mean Roger Penrose?]
•
Names are remembered on the left side.
•
All brain behavioral data is easier to explain with mind intellect included with a reflexive brain.
•
Man apprehending conscious patterning of the universe and designing in preferred patterns to
increase leverage.
Everything is design,
clean your toilets.
•
Archaeologists just go through
trash.
•
In America we're now clean.
•
Design is pyramiding conscious
reappraisal of the universe.
•
We are capturing more energy.
•
We learn to leverage nature.
•
Make levers on waterwheels and
gears.
•
The environment does work is
preferred ways and finding those
ways will make us a metabolic
success.
•
Man makes steam from nature's
million years of coal-making.
•
We need to live on the income
not the capital.
•
Coal in the ground is capital
earning interest which we
can spend
someday.
Evil versus Good
•
Evil is the use of bad consciousness.
•
Good is good consciousness making savings.
•
Ecology is total patterns. Eco house. Eco college.
•
The male wolf sweeps out about a 54 mile radius
while the female wolf covers less territory.
•
Man is the only specie to consciously alter patterns.
•
Evergreen trees and palm trees tend to be found in
belts around the earth. The patterns are determined
by the shape of the seeds and the power of the
wind to move those seeds.
•
Birds migrate to achieve advantages over microbes.
They go south to get food and they go north to raise
their young. They probably followed the ice north to
follow this advantage.
