"A New Model of the Universe and Human Destiny"
Friday, February 20
Guest: Anthony Marr
Time: 3:00 PM
Location: Worrell Hall 205
Over 25 years, internationally renowned wildlife preservationist and
scientific philosopher Anthony Marr has developed a new model of the
Universe called Omniscientific Cosmology, which embraces all of the
physical, biological, and social sciences, and shows the optimal human
destiny. Marr demonstrates striking and consistent parallels in different
levels of organization in Earth's biosphere, from molecules to cells to
multicellular organisms to animal societies to nations, which can be used
to extrapolate on to the interplanetary realm and beyond. Marr's original
and unique synthesis shows how the components of each level undergo a
four-quadrant "O.S.E.S. Cycle" of the "I.T. Spiral" to advance to the next
level. Such understanding is critical at this juncture of world history,
because population saturation, international conflict, resource depletion
and potential nuclear holocaust threaten to reverse the
multi-billion-year, multi-level process of "Integrative Transcendence,"
from nations back down to simple multicellular organisms or even
unicellular organisms. Either our nations will collectively organize into
a harmonious "planetary organism," or global disaster seems inevitable.
