Optical Motion Spectrum:
"motion; we can’t see the stars move, though their motions are thousandsfold faster than our fastest rockets; we can’t see the trees grow; we can’t see the hands of the clock move. Most important of all we cannot see the abstract weightless thoughts in the minds of other men. When we survey the total inventory of motions and informations which we can sense, we find it to be very limited. The significance of all the foregoing is appreciated when we realize that it is only by such phenomena as can be seen to be moving or changing by the public that are politically recognized and heeded. That is why public opinion and vote sampling has come into ever more reliable use.
“Our computerized world game is designed to accelerate the too slow and to decelerate the too fast of all the known vital trendings and thereby to bring them dramatically within popular consideration and our world game’s solution. The game will show clearly how the trends will affect everybody’s lives everywhere around Earth and how they could be taken advantage of in ways favorable to all humanity.”
