of energetic geometry… The one department that understood me spontaneously and saw the immediate application was the Department of Electrical Engineering. The physicists were so used to operating in a nonconceptual, purely abstract mathematics method that they had no faith in their own conceptuality and tended to be afraid of their being intrigued by synergetics. Electrical engineers deal with the realities of physics and have to understand what it is doing… The electrical engineers clearly encouraged me to hope that the practical public acceptance will come within the critical period necessary for humanity to veer away from its course to self-extinction.
‘When Max Planck discovered his famous constant for the conversion of the awkward XYZ-axis mathematics to provide agreement with the energy increments as physically discovered, he said, ‘The opposition never yields, they just die off.’ I am not worried about the opposition; I am only concerned about the 40 percent of humanity who need to be able to teach themselves, as you and I both taught ourselves to ride a bike and earlier taught ourselves to stand.’
