Because synergetics is conceptual, it will make it possible for people to teach themselves in a very Montessori-like way. The present mathematics of science has to be taught because it is so incredibly complex and utterly devoid of conceptuality. It is just formulas, formulas, formulas, consisting of symbols utterly unfamiliar to any of the public in any language. It consists then of invisible games played with unfamiliar objects which can only be taught by others: nothing is self-evident.
Inasasmuch as I am challenging the whole of academic science, acceptance is not going to come from them… It is only going to come from a young world who find that synergetics opens the whole of physics to their own observational discovery.
It is interesting to me that there was… a professor of engineering at one of New York’s large universities… who said that he had found my energetic geometry… the key to swift conceptual-by-self discovery for his students… In the 1950s when I was teaching at MIT there was only one department that saw the immediate application and significance
