And Learny himself wanted us to push on. This software saw itself as a toolkit for observing where we are/were and where we ought head.
I would back down from calling it inevitability. The dark conservative clutching forces could overtake hope & growth & possibility, consign our shared fate to shitty sad ruin. Both Leary & HST seemed to be co-aligned though, in believing that a vibrant spirit, aware, with some basic shit at it in the world, could go far, could, if conditions allowed, have potential to make a real difference. Whether we believe that opportunity is open widely & wish to support that, or think that chance is rare & special & only some have it within- it's a self fulfilling prophecy that dictates whether we opt to let & support humanity's chance, or whether we insist it's only a few, whether we dont bother to support & aid one another.
There's a kind of ever-dawning Gaianism I see in both TL & HST. Both require embracing a bigger humanity. Neither is prestined-both rely on consciousness, on deciding, on tuning out to the what is, and becoming consciously a part of what will be. Feom another comment talking about 1968 Leary's The Cyber Punk The Individual As Pilot:
> He gives a definition of cyberpunks in the first sentence (people who use all available data input to think for themselves https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32612648
As I've said yet again elsewhere in these comments, a huge part of this all is finding & deciding what we each are & ought become. Cybernetics we see very closely resembling the controller model of systems like kubernetes.
