I read omnivorously
the world history of:
trade
empire
growth
debt
war
slavery
revolution
disease
prehistoric man
scientific books on
the genesis of life
the
mechanics of complexity
I
meditate on the books
a haiku
emerges
a video
a painting
words
world system analysis
speaks to me
the world functions as one organism
sovereignties
are not really sovereign:
they are like the body of one person- moving as a unit
for a nation to revolt,
all parts of it must be eroding simultaneously
like a body being able to conquer a small infection,
but not a proliferating cancer
for a region to collapse
completely
there must be no nation
remaining outside it
to fill the
power vacuum
the
world is
one
big
nonlinear
autocatalytic
reaction
we are all the product and the reactant
