Physicists Barking Up the Wrong Tree

Physics is barking up the wrong tree. With regard to pursuing total, absolute, world dominion, that is.

Don't get me wrong, physics is a quite powerful, useful tool, and it allows us to go about engineering great feats. It allows humans, especially the elites among the ruling class, to achieve a great deal of things.

But it's not fighting a winning battle, insofar as the future is non-physical.

What!? What do you mean the future is non-physical!?

Well, I am referring to physical as involving reality as it flows from the past to the future, often known as physical reality, material reality, or efficient causation.

Do you see the issue?

By this very definition, the approach toward the future is not physics-dominant, as it is the past that is physics dominant. That is, the future is only influenced by physical causation from the past. But physics is not all that there is to reality. And that is where the physicist fails. And they know it.

You see, when physicists come up against biology, they seethe. They just can't really get a full grasp on the thing. That's because biology is, at its core, non-physical. That is, biological realities are not physical, material, efficiently-caused realities. Instead, they are psychical, ideal, finally-caused realities. This means that living things are caused not by the past, but by the future. Living things, that is, are an effect of causes that are placed in the future instead of the past (See Witnessing Shell Theory, for example). Life is the stuff of the future. As such, physics, which applies the empirical method rigorously, comes up against what Pyrrho and others called "The Problem of Induction," that you cannot expect the future to be like the past.

This fact means that the future has more to do with biology than it does with physics. As such, the technologies that will be most important to the future are not materially-engineered technologies, except insofar as they serve the ends of biology; instead, they will be moral, ethical, and social developments that have much more to do with how we relate to one another than how we can control one another with technology. In biological and social/economic terms, I am speaking of mutualism. Mutualism is the future. This is written into the Universe.
