2Goldy says that with the first coinages of humanity now being brought out from Mediterranean ocean bottoms, one of the most frequent is that of the Phoenician sailor’s symbol---the double-headed, two-way-facing Janus whose overall contour is that of the Cretan king’s symbol, the vertical-axis hexagon. Dry-land anthropologists and archaeologists have misinterpreted the Janus symbol as meaning only that the sailor was a notorious liar, professing to be going one way but actually going the other. To the maritime archaeologists and anthropologists the Janus symbol clearly reveals that the sailors knew that they could face in any direction and, traveling constantly in that great-circle direction, come back to where they started because the earth is a sphere. The sailor’s symbol was the six- triangle hexagon, for only triangles are structurally stable. With their keeled, triangularly trussed framing and triangularly rigged ships, navigators have encircled the spherical earth for aeons. Land people have been historically local and ignorantly subservient to the earth’s sphericity, commencing their wall buildings with stone, the landholding and -guarding people build compressively, squarely, redundantly and heavily, commencing their shipbuilding with wood, water people build tensively, curvilinearly, triangularly, and with utmost efficiency of realized function per each ounce of weight, minute of time, and erg of energy designedly invested in their ‘‘environment controlling’’ vessels. They must do ever more with ever less in order to float controllably in any manner of storms while doing so much with so relatively little.

5 When the majority of humans have learned that this is so, evolution will allow earthians to become preoccupied with Universe in an entirely new way---the way of the child. Quoting Goldy’s friend Christopher Morley’s 1922 poem:
67The poetry, innate, untold,
of being only four years old.8Still young enough to be a part
of nature’s great impulsive heart,
born comrade of bird, beast and tree and unselfconscious as the bee---9and yet with lovely reason skilled
each day new paradise to build,
elate explorer of each sense,
without dismay, without pretense!10In your unstained, transparent eyes there is no conscience, no surprise: life’s queer conundrums you accept, your strange divinity still kept.
11 Goldy also recalls that until the twentieth century reality was everything humans could touch smell, hear, and see. The twentieth century was opened with discovery of the electron, radio, and electromagnetics in general. Now 99.9 percent of the ranges of reality within which humanity operates informally and incisively are nondirectly apprehendable by the human senses. In any room anywhere around planet earth there are nonsensorially more than two million radio programs which can be tuned in upon and transformed into direct apprehending by human senses. Indoors or outdoors anywhere around earth, if you have the right radio set, you can tune in a program being broadcast around the earth from an orbiting satellite equipped with sensors that can report to you on a television screen where every live beef cattle on earth is located and how many there are of them. This is the new reality, whose total synergetic significance is as yet utterly uncomprehended by humanity. This new reality can only be coped with by the scientifically and technically trained brains and fearless use of the latter by human minds.
12 Implicit in its exponential rate of information growth by inclusion and refinement is the inference that evolution is about to render all humanity both economically successful and omni-intercooperative as people forget yesterday’s struggle and yield to the fascination of the new functioning in Universe which humans were deliberately designed to perform with competence.
13 ‘‘Certain it is,’’ says Goldy, ‘‘that entirely unforeseen by any, the same factors of evolution that during only the first three quarters of the twentieth century have transformed humanity from an omni-isolated to an omni-integrated planetary relationship and from a condition of 99 percent poverty and destitution to a condition in which more than 52 percent of all world’s peoples are enjoying a standard of living far superior to that of any monarch of all history up to the opening of the twentieth century, while concurrently doubling their life span, will go on to produce progressive advancement of human life support and ‘‘expectancy’’ at the rate already established, which clearly promises total physical success for all humanity before the close of the twentieth century. This unheralded event has been utterly transcendental to any of humanity’s political or economic planning. Within only one century humanity will have been transformed from a condition of local, ignorant self-survival preoccupation to an awareness of the omni-interrelated and omni-interdependent ecology not only of planet earth but of omni-regenerative universe itself.’’
