Most, nearly all, have heard, of the word Science. Many out there too, have also heard, of the word, Scientific, and they often believe, that Scientific, is just another cool way, of saying, Science. It is not, really. Most fail, to realize, that Scientific, is really a genre, of technology. Everybody knows, what technology is, it is used, mainly, for problem solving. Technological, a branch of technology, is also used, for problem solving, high end problems. The stuff, Batman uses. Scientific, just like Technological, is rather modern. Technology, is pretty old, going back, to the old days. Elevators, are really an old form, of technology. The scientfic genre, is a branch of technology, that is used, to solve, stability problems. You have computer technologies, the genome project, botany, aerodynamics, all are part, of the scientific genre. Interestingly enough, genres, have often, been used, to deal, with, stability problems. From music, like Purple Rain, to horror, like the Stand. Today though, they use, scientific. You have to know this, for there are many people out there, who believe, that science, has been making, big breakthroughs, in the past decade. Its not really true. What has been moving fast, in the past decades, is scientific. What has resulted though, is the production, of products, that look, more like gimmicks, and not real technology. It is why, the world out there, looks funny, and not very real. A Chevy, is technology, a Honda, is a scientific gimmick. What I am really saying is, more Chevys, less Hondas. Its why, everything out there, is pretty funny looking; gimmicks, look funny.
The scientific arena, or playground, is often sold, as a hot commodity. I remember, the dotcom, rush. I sat in amazement, as people I viewed, as being really normal, bought mansions, all over California. I was not in awe of them, and for many reasons, I was expecting somehow, to hit it big, in the dotcom rush, because they did. It never did happen, because scientific, is really, a hot commodity. The next goldrush, was supposed, to be the Genome project. I still remember, when Scientific America, proudly announced, that the Genome, had been decoded. I was an instant millionaire, for thats very much how, the whole thing, was sold off; anybody, could make it big, in the genome world, if they knew, what they were doing. Again, it never did happen.
In the recent years, I have pretty much lost, any enthusiasm, to do, with anything Science. It just, never delivers. Science, is often said, to be the new thing, when in truth, it is simply replacing, something else old. Computer technologies, are really about, horror, and thrillers. It has made, for a safe world, most don't really want to, live in.
The big problem, with Science though, is how it goes about, explaining the world. Science's main trick, which they believe, to be a revelation, of some kind, is what they call, measurement. Scientists, believe, measurement, is truth, and explains, reality. They are not wrong, as measurement, as a science tool, is very validly used, in the Natural Sciences. It works there, purrrfectly. It however, fails, elsewhere. This is especially true, when we deal, with the Soft, and Hard Sciences. In these sciences, measurement, almost, totally, does not work, or fails. This is because, these sciences, are associated, with what they call, Inference. Inference, is all about, the heavy use, of guesses, hunches and fancies. Scientists today though, still believe, its about, measurement. To make it worse, scientists, believe in using, what they call, instruments, to question, reality. They wish to know, if, what they see, is really real, through the use, of instruments. It is a step, in taking away, human intelligence, for though instruments do at times work, they mostly tend to fail, and hence, the many arguments, between scientists. In the old days, they used, the good old, feelings states. You measured something, visually, and felt, if, it was right, or wrong. No need for balances really. People were intelligent, like that. In the Hard and Soft Sciences, the use of instruments, to measure reality, from atom splitters, to, surveys, are really, a farce. An act. Theatre gone wrong. Good old feelings, still work best, as a guiding system.
Today though, science holding sway, has limited, the use of feelings, as intelligence, and their associated use, with the imagination. This is because, many out there, believe, that the imagination, plays tricks, and therefore, cannot be trusted. They are wrong, deadly wrong. One must know, that the imagination, never lies. Whatever you see, in it, is always the truth, in one form, or another. Truth, that can be deciphered, with regards, to time, location, and probable possibility. It is all true, whatever you see, in your imagination.
When it comes, to everyday, problem solving, the use of inference, as in the attempt, to catch a thief, does not always work, perfectly. The imagination, could work really well here, if one knew, how to use it. But for those, out there, without a dynamic imagination, they would best be advised, that the use, of symbolic knowledge, would best serve them, well. What is symbolic knowledge? Symbolic knowledge, is knowledge, that one, uses to explain reality, via the use, of symbols, signs, emblems, and the likes. Good examples, of symbolic knowledge, is iconography. A very good example, of iconography, are the, Three Little Pigs. The Three Little Pigs, are believed, to have lived somewhere, in France. They lived well, they knew each other and were supposedly happy. Then came the wolf. What this all measn, is that, if you are somewhere, and you see, a little pig, you should be aware, that there are probably other little pigs, around. You should also know, that there being little pigs around, a big black wolf, is also pretty much, very around. Its really that simple. The dynamics of this, can also easily, be explained. One of the three little pigs, got killed, by the wolf, and the other little pigs, never heard about it, though they all knew, each other. What this could probably mean, is that France, has a high, murder rate.
The understanding of symbolic knowledge, is of prime importance, for those, who engage, in dreamwork. The analysis, and breakdown, of dreams. Dreams, occur, when one sees themselves, as symbols. Symbols, social ones that is, are associated, with what they call, professions. In the old days, professions, were very much, religious. A Jazz Icon, is an example, of an olden day, religious profession. Many stories, have been told, of Jazz Icons, and they are not too different, from the three little pigs. When you have a dream, be aware, you are very much, a symbol of one kind or another, in it. You should also be aware, that, whatever you see, in the dream, is real, in one way or another. What this means, is that, you are attached, to whatever, you see, in your dreams, and eventually, will come, in contact, with them. Unless of course, you understand, the symbolistic meaning, of the dream. It still though, will happen, if you remain, as the symbol, you represent. Religious professions, such as the Jazz Icon, the travelling prizefighter, the travelling performer [circus style], are imbued, heavily, with symbolistic knowledge. They are a way, of living today, in a world, without fun, happiness, and where the girls, are pretty much, blase. One of the more interesting professions out there, is that of the Writer. It is interesting, not in what really happens, but whom, you meet. Writers, are celebrity non-celebrities. People know them, but don't know them. They go to the supermarkets, McD's, movie theatres, but also very much, are likely, to meet the president, the pope, supermodels, and all sorts, of madcaps. People like Writers, if they are interesting, but writers should know, that meeting any of these people, can result, in the unpredictable happening. Here today, gone tomorrow, is what writers, should be aware about.
