l'homme machine, man-machine, Descartes "i am not extended"
many working for one perfect conception in space,
rather than many working for eachother, on earth, before giving
everything to what is unknown-- earth, without a public, is a
slave colony for the fittest private ideas and monies, visions,
and the human possibilities are directed by "one" or "two" but
never "three" or the "we- humans as more than biological";
unless "we" design a public back into the system, with law,
economics- a human ethic- compassion for eachother, working
together, for the public idea of being human, and influencing
the present, in the immediate reality of the individual, with
the power each of us carries in mind- to share in public, these
ideas, for the benefit of the WE, without competition with the
private economies of the scientific ethic and control..
lets get education back, economy back, law back, free speech,
public ideas-- less dogma-- demand rational explanation for the
declaration of wrongness-- prove the public idea true and right.
it benefits us all, humanity. the idea of public architecture.
____________________________________________________________________________
is the private authority responsible for public ideas? will they too reason
as a public and address what lacks in our vision- in our education-- and see
that the human will is the strongest effector of the human future; and that
we are not chained to our science, only to our sense of it- in being nature.
