Human behavior, choice and reward—the unbreakable elastic framework locking in stress and benefit—are fixed on the Halley’s Comet of human genius. It is genius that we prize most and that compels us to set the price for everything less in descending order. In fact, we evolve upward until we realize that the highest order of reward and
operation for any mortal creature is as a Genius MachineTM. It makes no sense for any part of the genius machine to cheat, hinder, undermine, wound, distract, disinformationalize or kill off another part of the genius machine. We accept this self restraint in our own tribe and society, but at this point in our awakening some tribes will not extend this universal framework of morality to other tribes. The more any individual or tribe upsets the genius machine the more they encounter the resistance, the stress, that is the basis of all human problems, not just disease. To do so is to harm your own holistic life experience. Your own amusement park ride in the genius machine. The perfect “tuning” of the human machine is for each component to see the self-reward in full holistic compliance with this peerless event that singularly defines all crime, and then to voluntarily give the social allegiance that progressively perfectly tunes the machine, and keeps it tuned. This tug-of-war, this interplay, between either complete voluntary allegiance, or any split from voluntary adherence, to the genius machine, wholly defines the stress or benefit that exactly determine the holistic success, health and happiness of our lives. Yes, we have free will—but consequences and risk arise ultimately from interference with our collective genius. Our highest success and thriving come from this mission to purely learn, enjoy, study and to create as if in imitation of that which created us. To fail brings on the stress that is the bane of our existence, psychological, chemical, structural, functional (intra-tribal) or global (inter tribal) stress.
Until that day comes—voluntarily, enthusiastically—the tuning, the pitch, of the human musical instrument falls that much short of what it could be, and we will experience disruption by that much. There has never been a well-done scientific study that does not confirm this holistic design. Stress and risk result to the exact extent that we impede the machine. I say this must be true because how could it be otherwise? Scientists cannot understand why life evolves. Life evolves only because existence is only fun and meaningful if it moves toward this complete understanding of unity and purpose. All of life evolves—except the operating system of existence and life that manages each part of this process, this upward climb. It is the destiny of that which is created to sophisticate and advance to realize its own level of highest experience, fulfillment and entertainment is itself to explore and imitate creation. Economics is the entirety of human movement toward this open end. That which is created is destined to create. It is the only process of never-ending surprise and ecstasy. We are pre-fixed to this set-point. To pare away problems is to discover this core. The guts of this moral and physiological mechanism cannot evolve or change because it is already permanently perfect. Any injustice we ever rationally perceive is an interference to this process. Anything we fear is in the end an interference to this most rewarding, safe and entertaining process. The fruit of every result, activity or thought leads to this strangely perfect efficiency of reduced risk and self-reward that only fits this perpetual futurity. Not only is the template innate, but the
sensory framework to recognize this lone beacon of the perfect life is also innate, and indestructible because it is already likewise permanently flawless. I know instinctively that I am not to be held from this process.
Strangest and most telling of all, this operating system underlying everything is so seamless that we lack even the ability to imagine a better system, or a better way to spend our lives. You and I (within the same tribe) agree on a fair price to raise one
another’s quality of life. This is why Karl Marx tried three times and failed to describe a Utopia beyond our current course and eventually threw Marxism away. We may argue with our course—but the end result cannot be outdone. Just as with our health, there are only two types of complaint to take against this OS as it makes us function now: One type is “I wish I could jump over the moon,” and the other is, “I wish I could hurt myself or others and get all I want, and live a thousand years.” Whether you are aware of hurting yourself or not, the healthy, holistic reward, motivation and value of everything is ultimately set by the operating system, and the overarching value of the journey, of the process, over anything less. You like what you see and value today—wait till what you see and value tomorrow! Our survival, tribal security, efficiency and movement forward all depend only on our level of interest to do it. Why do we care if we are here or not? Why do we care if we are seeing and witnessing or not? What is there to see? Something wants us here. Therefore we will fight not to be killed or cheated. Then, what we value most, and find most interesting, is genius in anything. Those who do this best are rewarded most. The only two criticisms of the operating system regret our limitations of matter. However, our limitations of matter are our guides to our epiphany. Suffering leads to answers. Stress and benefit are ultimately only defined by congruence or incongruence with the ideal. This makes existence linear and predictable except for accident and genius. We only suffer now because we (or some of us) do not yet know how to live and think in order to coax the best from one another. Science and history prove nothing but this through the law of stress and benefit as we circle down the drain of our own psychological and physiological responses that are wired around how we must holistically respect the genius machine and the potential of us all to help. By this model, all of us matter—since, at our best, in the genius machine, we are all either geniuses or helpers of genius. Neither can be their best without the other since it is inefficient to run a genius machine if everyone is a genius and there are no helpers to help with some ventures into genius that require a great deal of help. And there must be payment, since there are replacement costs, and appreciation, homage, interest. Without any of this genius slows, genius stops. —Why bother with the risks and costs? Reward guides and encourages genius. Otherwise there is no fun, no interest, no reward.
