Globalization
How is it possible to bring meaning, unity and hope
to a world that is drifting
and whose individuals are mutually diverging -
similar to the galaxies of our observable
universe
-
in a war of all against all?
- The internally unbounded without internal distinctions and boundaries is the
infinite
of Anaximander
. It is also the infinite
of globalization, which is a process of boundary breaking and community making.
- In fact, breaking cultural, economic, political, social, linguistic physical, psychical and spatiotemporal boundaries permits us to discover the hidden unity of different things, that which is common and universal among individuals and makes of them a permanent whole—that is, a community that exists and continues to exist in space-time, because it obeys universal principles.
- The organization of our world according to common interests and universal laws reflecting the universal principles of the
infinite
universe
is the common and universal program of globalization and of scientific progress thought of as an inductive process of globalization.
- A world without internal boundaries we call an
infinite
spherical world governed by universal principles—for example, by the universal equivalence principle according to which the distribution of wealth - of energy and knowledge, on the spherical surface of the world is continuous, uniform and universal - everywhere, in all directions, at all times.
- If time and history generate opaque and hermetic boundaries between the individuals of the world, then breaking the boundaries through scientific progress and successive globalization will bring in the ultimate future the end of time and the emergence of the universal, of a
Universal community
in Continuous motion
composed of parts, which are wholes governed by universal principles and in continuous communication.
- Since the time of the ancient Greek philosophers we have known that life, science, and the physical world, exist and continue to exist if, and only if they obey universal principles that hold the world together, allow communication between its parts and correct its disruptive unbalance and injustice.
- If we fail in our globalization process human society will decompose itself into discontinuous, isolated, individual parts mutually diverging and in war of all against all. It will then be the global collapse of all civilization
When do we have a destructive globalization?
When we lose personal identity without extending it;
When we open particular frontiers without fixing our universal frontiers;
When we develop
Artificial
power at the expense of our natural power;
When we compress the entire world without comprehending it;
When we concentrate wealth without distributing it
and absorb energy without reflecting it;
When we unify things without discerning them.
We then create a black hole
into which imbalanced mankind collapses.
