I.
From about 1965, we can observe the beginning of geometric
population growth. This indicates
the beginning of “overpopulation,” or more accurately the asymmetry from
increased births, greater longevity, and fewer preventable deaths from ancient
norms. This problem has begun to
grow exponentially.
Crisis Nodes
II.
Although there are many other wars, conflicts, strifes to be
considered, for our purposes of American History, and our nations birth in
1776, we observe six modern nodes of crisis:
a.
US Civil War
b.
The Great War
c.
WWII
d.
Moon Landing
e.
End of the Soviet Empire
f.
Beginning of Modern Information-based (Internet) Democracy
Era Names
III.
After the Age of Reason: Ironically, we inhabited the great
genocide of America, and endured the pestilence of human slavery. The zugzwang of the International Age
of Industry required our participation in social norms, but as a nation not
healed from the bitter civil conflict.
Our modern American identity was forged by the great European war where
the conception of nationhood and nationalism forced us to unite. The fourth era is so named the Age of
Economy because this was the practical application of all the great theories,
and became the natural growth of nations to once again end this era in another
great mechanized war. After the
hard and bitter lessons of grand mechanical warfare a more indirect, yet no
less vicious, period of proxy warfare began, and the emblem of the two great
Superpowers was that of Space.
After America ostensibly won that war of symbolism, then an age of
covert and more indirect paroxysm began in earnest to complete the defeat of
the Soviet Union entirely. Leaving
an age of one Superpower left with all the various agents who would attempt to
interact with, transform or gain from her. We have entered an age where the conception of power is
being transformed, not just by the application of ideas, but the ideals and
ideas being transmitted by these transformational devices we participate with
regularly in this era.
Node Zero
IV.
In American History we begin in the first thirty years of
Simultaneous Corinthian Rebirth (CR), a creative destruction for survival, and
the a ten year Birth;
a.
1760 – Doric Construction of Revolution
b.
1770 – Ionic Construction of Revolution
c.
1780 – Corinthian Construction of Revolution
d.
1790 – Birth of the Stable State (where the act of Revolution
has been harnessed in active creation-destruction process we call government)
i. 1790
– 1793 sub doric: The King as President
ii. 1793
– 1796 sub ionic: The Various Powers
iii. 1796
– 1799 sub corinthian: The Reasonable Transitions
Generational Nodes
V.
After the Reasonable Institutionalization of Revolution, began
the formation of parties and other emblematic themes, which allowed for the
construction and destruction of ideas of governance and administration of law
through institutional process, however this does not dismiss the massive
genocide being conducted until 1974 upon the lands of what was to become
territory of these United States of America. Following Jefferson and a Revolution every generation (30
years):
a.
Rebirth (Transformational Period [Ricorso])
b.
Doric (Construction of Foundations)
c.
Ionic (Building of the Constructs)
d.
Corinthian (Decoration and Edifice)
Sub-Nodes
VI.
Confusing the issue, but now more clear with the benefit of oversimplification,
is the illusion of cohort or sub-nodes within generations. These do not attribute a “rebirth”
sub-period, for the natural[1]
progeneration of each individual, cohort, or generation is the very act of
biological rebirth.
Primary Technological Achievement
VII.
At the advent of every new generation, there appears a clear
signal from the prior generation as to how to better evolve the technology of
our environment for survival and progress. Although these are simplifications of the overarching
achievement of the times, there are innumerable simultaneous progresses in
every subject matter in order to allow for other generations to unlock
achievements. As with Node Zero,
we find ourselves (at “node 8”) where the cumulative progress in every Scientific
endeavor has come to fruition in every discipline—the start of a time of
Science and Reason!
Longevity Asymmetry
VIII.
By Node Six, The Baby Boom Generation, Children were observing
the first human cohorts to live into their 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s, in spite of
the two great mechanical wars. We
entered into a node in 1999 where children being born until 2029 will observe
human cohorts living into their 90’s, 100’s, and beyond (the estimated
stabilization for longevity to become living naturally into 120 ~ 140 y.o., and
with medicines and technologies 140+)!
Conclusion
The Population Asymmetry, Progenitor Asymmetry and the
Longevity Asymmetry require from the intergenerational populace a sense of
civility and abiding peace that are necessary for collective security. We enter an era of unprecedented
potentiality for every human being alive today, and have one of the best
chances ever to enshrine Ethics, Liberty and Human Rights for the sanctity of
all future generations.
Hypothesis
We will not be able to
afford to not cooperate as a
human species (as opposed to nation, or other group) upon this Earth, and the
upside becomes material and quality of life gains from cooperation that will
far outweigh perceived negatives.
The confluence of all these human events shall describe
1.
A grander sense of the Collective Consciousness and Higher
Awareness
2.
More sublime and civil forms of diplomacy and warfare
3.
A concept of collective endeavor that will produce a massive
efficiency, which we are already encountering

Note:
“Arab
Spring,” is the current term to describe the actions of societies, many in the
Arab States, gaining 21st Century Technology at low or no cost and
being able to organize democratically with instantaneous communications and
information systems. This will
probably be referred to as the International Accurate Democracy Movement, or
something thereabouts, because we also find ourselves in USA, amidst the advent
of the ramifications of this technological advance and all that this implies.

Progenitor Asymmetry would be when genes can be spawned multi-generationally
