2Goldy now elucidates some post-Eden history for the bears. Mycenae was able to control the floatable line of supply to besiege the static walls of Troy. Homer’s epic probably represents the first introduction to public knowledge of the changeover in the grand strategy of the world’s power structure from supreme dependence on the power of the almost invincibly massive high walls of the great city-states to supreme dependence on the naval architects’ engineeringly superior control of the lines of supply by deep sea vessels---the waters covering three quarters of planet earth reached all the river mouths of all continents and islands, outperforming the separate land-terminalled overland routes. For long the local, fertile lands commanding, city-states masters had starved the famished outsiders to death. Now the more-with-lessing Mycenean sea masters starved the Trojan city- state insiders because the Trojans were the progeny of the overland horsemen, the Mycenean sailormen produced the famous Trojan Horse within which symbol of seeming acknowledgement of Trojan superiority they hid some fighting men while deceptively withdrawing their maritime fleet.
3 Goldy and the bears soliloquize on the fact that this 2000 b.c. historically lethal moment of conversion of supremacy from absolute dominance by massiveness to a doing-more- with-less mastery marked the beginning of a four-millennia development that would culminate at the end of the twentieth century a.d. in doing so much with so little as finally to be able to support all humans at an economically sustainable higher standard of living than any have ever experienced, thus to eliminate altogether the fundamental scarcity syndrome and all lethal interstruggling of humanity, allowing humanity to become preoccupied with greater problems of Universe, with which ultimately to cope, humans had been given their minds.

6 Goldy now elucidates some other post-Eden history for the bears. She notes that allied with ancient Crete and its sea power, Mycenae was a very successful city-state, so successful as to have developed the additional capability of building ships and going to sea. Its peoples were able to control the floatable line of supply to besiege the static walls of Troy. While much of the history of Greece and the Greek islands is symptomatic, Homer’s epic probably represents the first introduction to public knowledge of the changeover in the grand strategy of the world’s power structure from supreme dependence on the power of the almost invincibly massive high walls of the great city-states to supreme dependence on the engineeringly superior control of the lines of supply at sea.
7 The higher and bigger the walls, the more secure had the city-states’ human insiders felt themselves to be. Economic mastery of the world affairs by the mobile, more-with-lessing, comparatively frail wooden ships of the sea gradually overwhelmed the local land monarchs’ massively inert static-states’ security. For long the local, fertile-lands-commanding, city-state masters had starved the famished outsiders to death. Now the sea masters starved the city-state insiders to death.
8 Goldy and the bears soliloquize on the fact that this 2000 b.c. historically lethal moment of conversion of supremacy from absolute dominance by massiveness to a doing more with less mastery marked the beginning of a four-millennia development that would culminate at the end of the twentieth century a.d. in doing so much with so little as finally to be able to support all humans at an economically sustainable higher standard of living than any have ever experienced, thus to eliminate altogether the fundamental scarcity syndrome and all lethal interstruggling of humanity; allowing humanity to become preoccupied with greater problems of Universe, with which ultimately to cope, humans had been given their minds.
9 After the fall of Troy the most astute Orient overland survivors of the great land barons who had originally masterminded the evolution of the city-state, finding themselves physically overwhelmed by the fleets and the armed sailors’ control of the line of supply, evolved a new counterstrategy for much more subtly besting the sea-power people. They realized that (1) the ships had to be built and repaired on the land and (2) that the cargoes had to be loaded and unloaded on the land, preferably at the land barons’ vanquished city ports. So a coterie of the smartest of the old city-state ‘‘brains’’ finessed the military debacle by inventing the concept of finance and tempting the sea-power people to borrow on their ‘‘credit’’ to build new and larger ships as well as to ‘‘finance’’ the ‘‘purchasing’’ power of merchandise on their voyages, all accomplished through ‘‘credit’’ advanced to the sailormen by the old city-staters’ ‘‘wealthy,’’ who organized a showy bluff of secretly possessing vast resources of materials and labor which they had opportunistically finagled from others through intrigue, alluring promises, coercions, and conspiracies, and their invention of a new wealth of metallic coinage consisting of thick bronze bracelets in the general shape of a joined-together pair of curved bull horns, the common symbol of the Minoan Cretans, Vikings, and Phoenicians, to be used as trading monies in lieu of the former cattle carried in their ships of trade. This converted the concept of wealth from true life-support-producing substance to abstract symbols betokening the awesome power of the monarchs, whose sculpted portraits appeared on the coins which succeeded the bronze bull-horn bracelets. They also changed the written language of trade, which theretofore had been dominated by the Oriental ideographs and picture writing in general, which had pictured whole concepts. For this they substituted the phonetic, or sound-symbol writing, which events coincide with the Tower of Babel and the loss of general human communication based on universally identical visual experiences. Thus began a game of poker in which for almost 4,000 years the finance masters held and dealt their mystique cards and avoided having to show their own hands, which indeed became rich in time as they introduced ever-lower- intrinsic-value paper money and time-lag accounting at ever-higher interest rates and ever- more-intricate discounting and rediscounting at ever-higher frequency of ‘‘turnover,’’ which with the nineteenth-century advent of the telegraph, world-around cables, and eventually wireless made possible their twenty-four-hour use of both depositors’ and ‘‘in-transit’’ monies in world-around financial markets.
10 Thereafter the financially powerful leaders evolved a comprehensive scheme of specialized education that would keep all individuals of society ‘‘minding only their own business,’’ while the masters and their financiers minded everybody’s business. The more complex human affairs became, the more ‘‘turnover’’ and brokerage fees accrued. Thus the master strategists came to finance a divide-and-conquer educational system through which the power-wielding masters instruct their scientists and others on how to become highly paid, faithful, specialized, and unquestioning servants. The scientists are told to confine their concerns within the internal affairs of their expensive laboratories---there to lay the ‘‘eggs,’’ the disposition of which must be left unquestioningly to the wisdom of their patron masters, whose superior wisdom was, and as yet is, assumed to be manifest and inherent in the hard fact of the masters’ ultimately weapons-backed, no-intrinsic-value-paper accounted, superior eco-political power.
11 In view of all the foregoing Goldy and the bears agree that the Austronesian water people constitute the prime ongoing organism of human evolution designed and conditioned by multimillion years of experience to withstand the mania of rationalized selfishness and eventually capable through ever-more-with-less artifacts of rendering altogether obsolete opportunistic myopia in general. The water people cannot pretend to themselves, as do the businessmen, that a rectangle is an inherently stable structure, that the wind, sun, or any other operating facilities of Universe belong to anyone, or that there exists seemingly forever a lethal inadequacy of human life support purportedly inherent in the metabolics of planet earth’s biospheric system. This is a syndrome of money-makers, which with the comprehensive human mind’s exclusively artifact produced more-with-lessing is, as we shall see, now becoming patently invalid. So clearly is it in evidence to the comprehensively informed that the now- known-to-be-recirculating metallic resources and daily cosmic energy income and the present level of technological know-how of earthians are more than adequate by a factor of four to one for sustaining support of all humanity and all their foreseeable generations to come at a higher standard of living than any humans have thus far in history ever before experienced---and to do so within only one decade.
12 The fundamental planetary scarcity syndrome can now, in the last half of the twentieth century, be maintained only by the year-after-year-continuing, incredible waste of the 200 billion dollars a year spent by the world’s leading powers on armament and ammunition, spying and counterspying, contrived rioting, psycho-guerilla warfaring, civilian bombings, narcotics pushing on one another, assassinations, murder, wrecking homes and devastating the countrysides of unfortunate people and countries chosen by the ‘‘socialists’’ and ‘‘capitalists’’ for further conduct of their continuous exploratory warfaring by arming, training, and financing their respective puppet ‘‘enemies,’’ thus avoiding direct confrontation of one another by the principal ideological adversaries, which engagement could not be terminated by negotiation. Two hundred billion dollars a year for the last quarter-century totals five trillion dollars which since World War II have been deliberately wasted by the world’s power structures to fortify their respective political stances ‘‘taken’’ in relation to the fallacious sociopolitical assumption of fundamental life-support inadequacy, in respect to which each ideology says, ‘‘You may not like my system, but it is the fairest and most logical way of coping with lethally inadequate life support.’’
13 We have politics and war only because of the ‘‘lethal scarcity’’ syndrome. Politics, war, weaponry, and deceit become obsolete with the world’s discovery that through intellect’s exponentially multiplying know-how and the latter’s again exponentially multiplying more-with-less production and service-capabilities, including continual recirculation of the physical materials, there is now indeed an abundant capability to support and to accommodate all humanity if it stops wasting its resources for military purposes and for exclusively one-sided monetary and political profits.
14 As long as humanity has been convinced of the existence on our planet of an unalterable, lethal human-life-support inadequacy, just so long is selfishness to be rationalized as being not only ‘‘realistic’’ but essential in securing the vital needs of those dependent upon the family ‘‘bread-winner’’ or ‘‘bean guardian.’’ Those who eschew selfishness and commit themselves to the golden rule are considered to be either ignorant or foolish.
15 Since, however, it is now looming into ever more widely held knowledge that there is and can continue to be ample life support for all, both today and tomorrow, for the first time in three million years of known human presence on this planet, selfishness can no longer be rationalized as inherently valid.
16 This is one of the most dramatic changes in all history. It is thus seen that the realism of the water people and their cosmically cultivated wisdom may again integrate synergetically to lead into noncompetitive, cosmically designed functioning of humanity as instrument- informed and exclusively mind-determined local Universe problem solvers; with limited but progressively enlightening access to the cosmic laws and design concepts that guarantee the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe.
17 Goldy and the bears note that since the fall of ancient Troy and establishment of supremacy of ‘‘the lines of supply,’’ except for the subtle intrusion of the ‘‘business’’ man’s complex credit and finance accounting system, there has been no fundamental change in the grand economic strategy of the power structure governing world affairs throughout the intervening 5,000 years. Whoever has controlled the line of supply has dominated. But the controlling of the line of supply has come to include the air fleets and the rocketry-delivered intercontinental atomic bombs, extraterrestrial space platforms, and super-sensing-spy satellites, all omni-electromagnetically guided with pinpoint accuracy by the instruments of a now ninety-nine percent invisible reality.
18 The scientific discovery or technical invention of ways of ‘‘doing more with less’’ constitutes the most highly ‘‘classified’’ of secret information of the most powerfully armed political states. Which side is going to demonstrate the most capability in doing more-with-the-same or more- with-less is the surprise factor that will ‘‘tip the scales’’ one way or the other as the war is joined and each side seems to match exactly the other’s numbers and tons of ships, guns, and personnel at all strategic points. Because all the governments hold all such information secret, society fails to realize that there is a swiftly accelerating accomplishment of the more-with-lessing.
19 Swiftly recapitulating the epochal change in human affairs, Goldy repeats that hidden from society by the ‘‘top-secret’’ classification of both the super military giants of our planet, all inadvertently their power struggle has introduced so many ways of doing so much more with so much less investment of pounds of material, ergs of energy, and seconds of time per each task accomplished while ever increasing the range, power, and incisiveness of the performance that it is now technically and economically demonstratable that both the comprehensive physical and metaphysical know-how resources of the world are abundantly adequate to support all of humanity at a higher standard of living than any humans have ever known and to do so by 1985, provided those world resources are employed with the same new design ingenuity as that going into the conceptioning, development, and production of the top-cover warplanes of 1976 as compared with the technical complexity and production efficiency that went into producing the swords, saddles, harness, and uniforms of 1905’s horse cavalry, which seventy years ago had the same world-around supreme cover function in land warfaring as have aircraft today.
20 The ‘‘business’’ man’s business and its invention of abstract banking credit, finance, interest, deposits, coinage, economics, foreign exchange rates, balance of trade, insurance, bookkeeping, and above all uncontrolled ‘‘pricing’’ obviously prosper most when ‘‘goods’’ are scarcest. Scarcities are most certain of occurring when governments spend the most on armament production, which production tends to render scarce all peaceful life-support items and services. It becomes obvious why no book on economics ever mentions ‘‘doing more with less.’’ ‘‘More with lessing’’ is thought to be by many paramount to giving more and better goods and services for ever lower prices, whereas money-making business is enchanted only with giving subtly ever less for ever higher prices. It is obvious why the stock market prices climb whenever the prospects loom for more war preparation or for relaxation of any restraints upon selfish exploitation of the many for the greater advantaging of the few.
21 Throughout all the three and one-half million years during which humans now are known to have been aboard planet earth, none knew that humanity had an option of total economic successes. Therefore, the selfish viewpoint has always been rationalizably justified. As yet known only to less than one percent of world people, humanity nonetheless has now come into a new relationship with Universe---a relationship wherein the cause of the struggle to survive economically has been approximately dispensed with.
