Seen this way, event---and thus time, and thus life---become merely informational; that is to say, an abstraction that can be handled in a non-real way with real effects. This is, after all, what dreams and surrealism are all about. A financial institution is not only an information-handling and communicating company these days, but a clock, an observatory with \dq{eyes} that see electronic impulses in which all the events it scans are simultaneous and fused. It is a dream state. As we continue to struggle on toward demonstrating this unified field theory as it is in practice, we see we have arrived at a dangerous, earth-devouring system of thought and illusion. We take the whole development of modern cosmological and physical theory to be, at the present time, a function of the \e{culture} of modern transnational capital. When a certain level of interconnectedness is reached, what will happen is that the universe's symbolic energy (affecting real energy systems) will move so fast that it will burn itself out, explode into a nova (a cosmological financial-informational bubble), collapse and compress back into a black hole\ld\ leaving the universe outside quite the way it was for billions of years. |
