Man As A Function of Universe:
"I’ve come to my own working conclusion that the human does have a function; and that he is to be the most effective metaphysical orderer, comprehender, employer of information to be employed in different ways to make the world even more orderly-- and to do so without undue wasting of energy. Energy is supposed to be collected here. Therefore man can learn how to employ the energy patterns of Universe to do work. His job as metaphysical orderer has antientropic force or capability. His job is to rearrange the scenery continually-- to rearrange the somewhat random receipts of the stardust, and so forth, and to keep rearranging them in more effective ways and certainly for the regeneration of life itself.
“Part of this great orderliness is to try to understand that there is this function of understanding in the Universe. Man seems to be the prime, the only, manifestation we have of it; other than the a priori Greater Understanding, and I would think that our functioning is in every way to make that functioning successful aboard this spaceship Earth.”
