other” and thus not just survive, but grow together to an increased awareness and
evolutionary abilities. People in the West, with their scientific knowledge, are de
facto “animals that can think”, like the ancient Greeks have handed down to us.
They think from a logic whose premises are incorrect and generate an erroneous
result at all times. When A is true, then –A is not true. In the West, we have
grown up with this classical truth logic and have developed systems that saved
millions of lives, but maybe in modern history took even more. Living with the
logic of “dynamic truth” still encounters incomprehension in many people. The
resistance against the idea of probability in quantum mechanics determines that
conclusively.
Our modern human thinking still neglects to look back retentionistically 164 to our
biological evolutionary history, that brings us to the unicellular creatures we all
once were. In this research, we have an open vision of the future and we are situated
in the tension field of what is yet to come; this is our protentionistical life
pattern. The concepts of retention and protention take us to the music hall: we
enjoy the sounds we have registered in our emotion (retention) and we wait tensely
for the sounds that are yet to come (protention).
American cell-biologist dr. Bruce Lipton describes, how cooperation among cells
has led to “multicellular creatures”, up to and including man. It is not limited to
the cooperation among cells only, but it also appears that the function distribution
among cells and groups of cells has composed our biology. The development of
cooperation offers sociological and economical perspectives to man and his connections
165 and ends the Darwinist fallacy that we can only survive if we fragment
the existence into ‘mine and thine’, in ‘my right and your wrong’, in ‘high
pitched Western medical science against alleged Eastern quackery’. Or, to speak
164 I introduce the terms retention and protention in anticipation of the music-philosophical concept.
165 I come back abundantly to the ‘nature and nurture’ consideration about natura naturans and natura naturata as we
find them with Spinoza and in other terms in Taoism. For now, beating the pickets as direction givers is sufficient.
