Appendix
(2) The grand myth that there is an inherent inadequacy or scarcity of life support such as food or money (symbolizing real value) on this planet:
In 1800, after receiving a complete inventory of the world's vital and economic statistics for the first time in history, Thomas Malthus, later professor of political economics at the East India Company College, concluded that the world population was increasing at a rate of geometrical progression, whereas life-support production was increasing only at a rate of arithmetical progression. In 1810 he confirmed this earlier finding. Thomas Malthus thus proved mathematically what people all over the world had innately believed since the beginning of human history, that there was an inherent inadequacy of life support on the planet and that the situation would become progressively worse.
"Pray all you want," said Malthus, "it will do you no good. There is no more!" A half-century later, Charles Darwin developed his theory of evolution, propounding that the inexorable processes of nature were the consequence of the "survival only of the fittest species and individuals within those species." Karl Marx compounded both Malthus's and Darwin's scientifically convincing conclusions in order to "prove" his predecided point, and said, in effect, "The proletariat are the fittest to survive, for they are the ones who know how to handle the tools and seeds to produce the life support. The opulent others, the bourgeoisie, are mere parasites."
The opulent others argued semi-rationally, "We are opulent and at the top of the heap because we have successfully demonstrated the Darwinian principle, survival of the fittest. The workers are dull-minded and have no vision. What is of essence for survival in this world is cunning, intellectual fighting skills, and farsighted enterprise." For the last century these two political/economic ideologies, communism and so-called capitalism, have dominated the political affairs of the world -- both coming from the assumption that there is not enough to go around.
However, missing in Malthus's theory was a critical understanding regarding the power of the human mind and consciousness, as well as consideration concerning the possible evolution of human knowledge. He disregarded or failed to see that knowledge could and did indeed increase at a geometric-progression rate that would far exceed the growth of human population, overcoming the seemingly inevitable paucity of life support on Earth. The advancement of scientific and technological knowledge, which includes the food-production/ distribution technology and the development of the birth-control pill, has long eradicated the once universal and seemingly inevitable inadequacy of life-supporting goods. In a world where there are sufficient numbers of producers who produce more than they consume, inadequacy of life support or overpopulation is categorically impossible. And once mysticism and neocheating are eradicated from the planet -- once the Neo-Tech world comes into existence, each human being will always produce more values than he or she can ever consume, so that the impossibility of the inadequacy of life support or overpopulation will further become self-evident.
However, in spite of the clear evidence that humanity now has more than enough life support and everyone on this planet can be self-sufficiently wealthy if he or she works honestly and productively within his or her capability to produce values for others, the political neocheaters continue to propagate and exploit that age-old myth of inadequacy in order to stay in "power" and control the misguided populace. The religious neocheaters apply the myth of scarcity to their "Heaven" and say, in effect, "There is not enough space out there in the heaven, and in order to be the fittest to survive in that world, you must follow our teaching and donate your money and soul to prove that you are indeed worthy of survival after your death."
This is a clear example of creating problems where none in fact exist. The increasing sufficiency of life support on Earth indicates an entirely new era of human life and history: War is unnecessary. Governmental politics is unnecessary. All manipulation, deception, and physical force are unnecessary. In other words, neocheating in every form is unnecessary and in reality obsolete. For every man and woman can now live with an ever-increasing standard of living, and achieve genuine wealth, prosperity, and happiness through his or her own honest, rational, and productive effort, thinking, and action without ever destroying others. With Neo-Tech and its complete annihilation of mysticism and neocheating, the one most able to survive -- the honest and rational individual -- now becomes what he or she deserves to be, the fittest to survive.
Neo-Tech shows every conscious being the way to become a true producer of values, and works as a catalyst in bringing forth a world of ever-evolving happiness and prosperity with the only rational, value-oriented, natural-to-humans social/political/economic system, i.e., laissez-faire, free-enterprise capitalism. And it is on the basis of increasing sufficiency of life support on Earth that the value-oriented Neo-Tech business world -- a profit-oriented, laissez-faire, free-enterprise capitalist society -- is built. Value is the actualized knowledge or accomplished technological capacity that protects, nurtures, supports, and accommodates all growing needs of life. Money is the effective means of exchanging disparate and nonequitable items of real value. In a rational business world, the relationship of money or profit to real value will be logically authenticated, and money or profit will follow the production of values naturally.
(3) National division: Since war is in reality obsolete, national division only serves as a means of protecting an individual who happened to choose living in a particular location on this planet so that he can exercise his free will, free choice, and free action in pursuing his productive career. It is not nations but individuals and companies that must compete in creating and producing values higher than others in the same business. It is not to nations but to themselves that individuals must belong. It is not with nations but with companies that they must identify themselves. For it is not where one lives but what he does to create values for others that is of significance. People do not and cannot choose their birth, their place of birth, or their parents. People do choose and must choose, however, what careers to pursue and which companies or organizations to work for (including their own). Society, therefore, must be structured on the basis of people's conscious choices, and people should not be bound by things over which they can have no choice whatsoever, such as their birthplace, sex, or color.
The world's neocheating power structures have always "divided to conquer" and have always "kept divided to keep conquering." As a consequence, the neocheating power structures have so divided humanity -- not only into special-function categories but also into religious, national, language, and color categories -- that humanity at large has lost its ability to distinguish between earned values such as knowledge, skill, or character and coincidental attributes such as color or nationality. It is imperative to structure the world on the basis of earned values and people's free choice or will. Neo-Tech makes a clear identification of the human value system and helps to create a world in which every individual is identified not in terms of accidental attributes but of earned values acquired through his conscious choice and effort.
People do not belong to their countries. People do not have any obligation to their countries. People's obligation is only to themselves and to their dependent children. No one should hinder others from fulfilling their obligation. It is to that extent, and to that extent only, that people are collectively responsible for one another's well-being. The current national division, to a large extent, is the result of the "real-estate war" fought over the centuries amongst power-hungry, physical-property-coveting neocheaters. A nation is a nonfundamental entity that exists solely on the basis of agreements among individuals. What is fundamental is a conscious individual human being who, unlike nations, can think, create, and produce. Nations cannot exist without people, but people can exist without nations -- probably much more happily and successfully.
Collectivism, therefore, is an inversion of reality. Individualism based upon the sound recognition that a conscious individual is the highest cause and the supreme value in existence is the only reality-based moral, ethical, political philosophy there is. In the future Neo-Tech world, countries will be recognized for what they really are, i.e., agreed-upon divisions for the convenience of living together. In the future Neo-Tech world, the planet will be seen as dynamic, synergetic interactions among companies and businesses whose Primum Mobiles (Prime movers) are the productive, energetic Neo-Tech men and women living happily and prosperously as the permanent residents of the universe.
(4) Over specialization of knowledge: Because of the successive master neocheaters' extremely effective strategy of specializing knowledge, universities around the world still continue to divide and subdivide the otherwise-integrated sphere of knowledge into many fragments. As a consequence, the great majority of humanity is incapable of understanding the language of science, the most highly specialized field of knowledge. In addition, the educator/philosophers who belong to the John Dewey-genre school of thought and fundamentalist/creationist religious fanatics further spur humanity into scientific illiteracy. Furthermore, scientists and mathematicians often base their philosophical thinking upon Platonistic principles, or completely divorce themselves from philosophical thought, resulting in a highly fragmented and isolated utilization of Aristotelian principles.
Therefore, humanity at large does not realize that all that science has ever come to know is the fact that the physical universe consists of an interreciprocating technology with exquisite design principles, which consciousness discovers and harnesses to create all human technology. The great majority of people think that technology is a "new" phenomenon and identify it with (1) weapons and/or (2) machines, the latter, competing with them for their jobs. Because of these notions (or misconceptions) and all the antitechnology propaganda by the mystics and neocheaters, most people erroneously think that they are against technology, without realizing that the technology they do not understand and are against is a sine qua non for achieving never-before-possible prosperity and happiness on Earth. (Nothing inherent in technology causes environmental pollution. Further technological advances will soon solve the problem if there is no government interference.)
Business not only requires a wide integration of knowledge but also is the integrating force of knowledge. It is in business that various fields of knowledge meet and together produce values that have never before existed. It is in business that science and technology bear their fruits and transform nature into values. It is in business that philosophy meets the challenge of life and finds its application in the productive sphere of human life. Therefore, the overspecialization of knowledge that humanity has experienced since time immemorial and still continues to experience implies that the function of business in society has been continuously truncated until today. Furthermore, in the current system of university education, business itself is seen as a specialized field and taught mostly by professors who have never been in business themselves. In reality, business is not a specialized field but a synthesis of other fields of knowledge which integrates philosophy, science, and technology into a system of value production encompassing the entire sphere of human existence.
Overspecialization of knowledge, on the one hand, brought about a scientific/mathematical esotericism that is inaccessible to the general public and at times divorced from reality, and on the other hand, effected the truncation of the function and the purpose of business. Neo-Tech, through its full integration of philosophical principles, reveals a stunningly new picture of the universe and opens a new path of science that is not only free of Platonism (a divorce from reality) but also will bring a new revolution/evolution of scientific knowledge that is accessible to every conscious being, which, then, in turn will make possible the world-wide realization of highly advanced technological societies and scientific literacy. It further reveals an integrated picture of business and its function not only in human societies but also in the universe. In the final two chapters of this treatise, the science of the future and the never-before realized purpose of business are explored.
