World Game:
“The great scientists and artist-scientists finding these life principles find them all never contradictory one of the other. They are intercomplementary; they are interaccommodating. There can’t be a principle that has a ‘beginning’ and an ‘ending.’ We cannot suggest that an abstraction could have a beginning and an end. The words ‘beginning’ and ‘end’ have to do with the physical. . . .”
“All of this has to do with summarizing the why of the world game and what we’re trying to do in the world game. 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.”
