What can do an old, incurable workaholic during a period of
relative absence of news? Inactivity, like the sleep of reason produces
monsters- this is a certainty; it is easy to imagine the destructive effects of
a prolonged hibernation! Being aware of this, I have used the
not-so-interesting -times, almost two and half months from the start of
Defkalion’s technical Armageddon with and for Hyperion-6, up to the Anniversary
MIT Colloquium- to compose a review of my life’s philosophy.
In my basic profession, Research, as in many other creative
activities, the great differentiator is Initiative; the mark of great
researchers (as we have discussed many times with my friends Yiannis and Axil)
is the rare ability to make a Synthesis.
Not an easy task, we have a natural trend to misinterpret
our own ideas, to use critical thinking much too gently, to ignore the
subtetlies and to by-pass the paradoxes and internal contradictions that are
core elements of a good thinking method/system.
Anyway, I have tried to solve the puzzle, have welded
together many fragments of truth forming a something with logical consistency.
When this opus was almost ready, I started to think: where
to publish it, in a place with good visibility, making it a “presence”.
This publication must have a much broader audience than my
modest blog EGO OUT where these ideas are already there in pieces. lacking
unity!
The Foundational Questions Institute’s 2014 Spring
Contest
Being aware that great questions illuminate us better than
great answers, I knew about the existence and generous aims of http://fqxi.org/ Then Jed Rothwell, leading
supporter and librarian
of our field has published there a great essay: “Cold fusion may have
revolutionary potential”; I hope this will be great winner
despite the present bad reputation of cold fusion;
till the end of the contest (August) this can change (and the understanding of
the concept as well).
FQXI’s 2014 Spring Contest is about: “How Should Humanity
Steer the Future? “ I had a secular revelation- this is my aim too,
the Ego-Out philosophy is the obligation of an individual to
tell
Everything he/she has learned in a lifetime in order to help
the future generations to make the world a better place. http://www.unwords.com/unword/ego-out.html
What a wonderful opportunity to make my philosophy known!
I wrote an essay for the contest, it is here:
Its title and its essence are:
My general ideas about how our world works and about how our
problems can and have to be solved are described; these are used in my
understanding of what cold fusion is, too.
I am asking all my old and new friends; please visit and
read the essay, if you like or dislike relevant ideas and/or the integral
ideology of it, please make comments as requested by FQXI. Please help me only
making the essay known to all the good people who actively care for the future
of Humanity.
The essay is not about an ideal but about realism; I know
that the public prefers pleasant perfect crystal shaped lies to unpleasant
fragmentary truths.
However by this essay the ideas became present and
universally accessible hopefully waiting for their day to come.
Thank you,
Peter
