Man as a Function of Universe:
"What humanity does locally on this planet
With its discovery of the a priori
Automated technology Universe
And its vast variety of local-option
Inexorably transformative realizations
May be misemployed ignorantly, short-sightedly,
Or fortuitously, illusionally, to produce
Momentarily favorable local conditions
(But inadvertently destructive in the larger context.)
• • •
"Humanity’s unique
Local, complex, problem solving capability
Constitutes a functioning essential to Universe.
Humans are integral functions
Of Universe
"Only life’s temporary vehicles
Can be destroyed."
28 April 1971, pp. 2, 3.
