…about a different kind of thing. What about the timetable Terence? So far it seems like your idea is pretty similar to Teilhard De Chardin, Except you said he didn't give us a timetable. So assuming we have sunshine for 25 000 years, um when do I…
…suits different models of which there are but few there's the bang to bang model, which you share with Teilhard De Chardin. There's the infinite linear progress model which is pretty much discredited now by everyone. There's the reflection model where…
…real influence of something beyond humanity, beyond history, which Terence thinks there is, namely the transcendental object, the attractor or as Teilhard De Chardin would put it the omega point? Or is there not? And if there is, how limited is it in its…
…seems to be, about something just happening on earth? I mean I have the same problem with Christian Apocalyptic speculation. Teilhard De Chardin for example he talks of the noosphere around the earth and this growing emergence of consciousness. Here is he…

…I think that this idea of attraction, it has ancient roots it's something that in this century has been brought out by Teilhard De Chardin. I think actually we have to have some notion of an attractor for the evolutionary process of the cosmos, and this…
…a question of, as I see it of what role one thinks the attractor has. I think that the cosmic attractor, as Teilhard De Chardin conceives it or as aristotle conceives it, is drawing things towards a state of higher unity. That's how you could Express…
…little that anybody has said about cyberspace, about the meltdown of humanity into some electronic collectivity, has been surpassed by Teilhard de Chardin. He had this idea that human beings were on this earth and that they would generate what he called the…
…except his idea was there. Ok, we prepare for this not by buying Windows 95 computer. We prepare for this, according to Teilhard de Chardin, by doing spiritual exercises alone, by doing tai chi by the lake. And after a few years, years of this, we have…
