THE INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW KNOWLEDGE ON THE WORLD’S FUNDAMENTAL LAWS
lifelong independent research uncovering the process of human perception.
U.S. REVEW of books by Peter M. Fitzpatrick
“No real balance, exact equality, equity, identical copies of anything, repetitions, symmetry, conservation of energy, perfect reversal, or absolute isolation is ever possible under the colossal power of Flux.”
This book is an exploration of different views regarding what is commonly referred to as “objectivity.” It is influenced by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, from whom the author has derived the concept of “flux” or constancy of change alone as “reality.” This is combined with a neo-Kantian or, by Nova’s own interesting account, the lesser-known logician George Berkeley, who introduced the concept of the “thing in itself,” for which both he and Kant asserted was impossible for humans to perceive or know.
While skeptical of scientific objectivity, the author is not given to pure skepticism in general. Instead, she focuses on the process of perception itself, with some influence by the French existentialist Merleau-Ponty, author of Phenomenology of Perception. Nova posits that we “stage” our understanding through two basic approaches: a mimicking talent and/or a creative talent. All this is dependent on the mind, which the writer says is constantly comparing, focusing, composing, and recomposing sensations picked up by our “crude” senses. However, the mind is not dependent on the physical brain. Einstein’s speed of light calculations are an abstraction, but Jonas Salk is an example of a creative thinker who imagined himself as both a virus and an immune system in the development of his world-famous vaccine.
There are colorful illustrations of what the author has posited as three layers of a living creative mind: a superconscious level, where NDEs indicate the mind’s survival after death; a cosmic layer that is closer to physicality; and finally, the conscious level, where our physical limitations are made manifest. Provocative and opinionated in her writing, the author pulls no punches regarding Plato’s idealism (and math in general), animal testing, and “geoengineering,” such as toxic dimethylamine sprayed into our skies to enhance cloud formation. Philosophy fans looking for their next read may wish to explore Nova’s offering.

“Their Golden Rule teaches the opposite of Plato’s saying “May I do to others as I would that they should do unto me.” The Bullfordian wisdom tells us “NEVER treat others as you would like to be treated yourself — unless they agree to it first –because what is good for you may be deadly damaging for others.”

Collaborating with you has also been a privilege and a great pleasure.

Human beings are different from other life on this planet. We mimic nature in countless ways, whether for survival or entertainment. We marvel at the effortless flight of the birds, admire the living beings in the deep oceans, and watch the unrestrained grace and keen instincts of wild creatures, such as the big cats and deer.
Despite our considerable efforts to mimic nature and our desires to have skills similar to the most gifted survivors in the wilderness on Earth, we remain dependent on our crude, man-made artificial devices. We clothe our vulnerable bodies to protect ourselves from the elements, and we build heavy, noisy machines/devices in our attempts to fly or dive in water—feats that can never be as true and natural as the actions of the birds, insects, or living beings in the ocean. Our human creations are impressive only in our eyes and are actually crude and perhaps caricaturish imitations of the magnificent, graceful, meaningful, and efficient designs in nature. Nova describes our questionable progress in creating technology and AI as the industries producing crutches for human beings as physical and mental invalids.
Why are we so reliant on artificial systems? Why do we construct elaborate economic models and systems that so often fail to function as intended, falling under the unpredictable forces of nature?
