-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 At small sizes, particles behave like waves. These waves assume certain harmonies to stay stable and to interact. At cosmos scales, too, waves interact, and the stars and galaxies assume harmonic patterns. Sometimes, all these patterns change extremely rapidly and release tremendous destructive and creative energy. At our human scale, too, wave harmonies connect interactions: Migrations, information systems, meme-constructs, weather, the sea. Blowing up cities is out of tune. That is not creative energy. We appear to be able to choose a course of action, and appear to differ from other natural phenomena in that regard. If you fill a room with humans, and ask them to try to hum the same note, it's usually e flat. Sometimes b flat. This seems to be true regardless of their finances, nationality, or creed. Together, if we learn to sing, we could build upon eternal harmonies so deeply strong, they unite all people, rather than divide and conquer as has been our past to date. The music is already there, like fractals in plants. We choose to listen and to sing. - --mark-- - -hedges- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.5.3 iQA/AwUBNU1gBDXfa81vcydSEQIn9ACg0O9+uY1jJB28iXxp6HuoDRmri7gAnjgP mFnN6anLG1T6dGCNm02Xq9FF =iBl0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
