- FOOTNOTES -
1. I.e., more recently, the ``Parvus-Trotsky'' doctrine of
so-called ``revolution in military affairs'' is to be traced
explicitly to Huntington's {{The Soldier and The State}}, and to
the spreading popularity, on secondary school and college
campuses, of mass indoctrination in terrorist (``gladiatorial,''
e.g., ideologically Romantic, fascist) models of so-called
``computer games.''
2. Norman Podhoretz, Bill (``Simple'') Simon, Steve ``Flat
Earth'' Forbes, Daniel Pipes, Grover Norquist, James Woolsey, and
John Bolton.
3. James Fenimore Cooper was, like Edgar Allan Poe, a
birth-right member, and high-ranking operative of the United
States' intelligence organization, The Society of the Cincinnati,
the Society which had been founded by George Washington, the
Marquis de Lafayette, and Washington's second-in-command,
Alexander Hamilton.
4. Or, nuclear fission.
5. The Apollo-Pythia relationship is identical to that of
the Apollo-Dionysus cult of tragedy, as that was faithfully
echoed by Friedrich Nietzsche's cult of Apollonian/Dionysian
tragedy.
6. Here lies the crucial practical distinction between
Classical or Romantic presentation of what was composed as a
Classical drama on stage. The avoidance, as by vulgarization, of
the playwright's intended presentation of a virtually tangible,
ghostly aura of evil on stage, as intended in Shakespeare's{{
Richard III}}, for example, is what separates the intended,
Classical performance of the play from a Romantic, or, Brechtian
perversion.
7. See the concluding paragraphs of Percy Shelley's {{In
Defence of Poetry}}, on times in which there is an upsurge within
a population, of the power of ``imparting profound and
impassioned conceptions respecting man and nature.'' As in the
conducting, ``between the notes,'' by Wilhelm Furtwaengler, is an
expression of the same principle required for the performance of
a Classical drama on stage. It is this principle which defines
all competent presentation of Classical art, as in Rembrandt, and
that always for the same principle of reason.
8. The cruelest passion is an expression of dispassionately
cruel cold-bloodedness, like that of Dostoevsky's Grand
Inquisitor.
9. The incompetence of the denial of the ontologically
infinitesimal of the Leibniz calculus, by de Moivre, D'Alembert,
Euler, Lagrange, Laplace, Cauchy, and assertions to the same
effect respecting thermodynamics by Clausius, Grassmann, Kelvin,
and the Machian Ludwig Boltzmann, or modern positivists such as
Russell, von Neumann, and Norbert Wiener, typify the cases of
those (in fact) neo-Cartesians of the denial of the ontological
actuality of an experimentally proven existence of a universal
physical principle. The same pathological error of the
empiricists and positivists, is expressed as the inherent
decadence of post-Classical poets, or musical composers or
performing artists, whose concoctions contain no efficient
principle, but only some sensuous, mechanistic sort of
``gimmick,'' or musical performers, or editors of publications,
who invoke a cheap sort of {rubato} that they might avoid the
comma.
10. As in Shelley, footnote 7.
11. The dating of ``about 700 B.C.,'' references a naval
alliance. against rapacious Tyre and its Punic colonies, among
the Egyptians (presumably of maritime Cyrenaica), Etruria, and
Ionia. It was the same Cyrenaica, later famous for the role of
the great Eratosthenes, which would be crucial in Alexander's
defeat of Tyre and of the forces of the Persian empire.
12. We are presently in the onset of a long wave, of
subsumed exceptional intervals of as much as decades or longer,
toward re-glaciation of the northern Hemisphere's land-areas.
13. Decades past, there were two professors, Noam Chomsky
and Marvin Minsky, at ``the works'' of MIT's RLE, who undertook a
project of torturing a laboratory chimpanzee, whom they named
``Noam Chimpsky.'' Decades earlier, that project came into my
area of interest in, and opposition to the work on ``artificial
intelligence'' and related matters of RLE's specialty. They,
prompted largely by the ``Cybernetics'' project, developed, under
the coordination of the Josaiah Macy, Jr. Foundation's Alex
Bavelas et al., sought to define intelligence, and the steering
of human behavior, in a mechanistic sort of bio-chemical way
(e.g., ``task-oriented, problem-solving group'' theory), which I
had studied intently, from early 1948, and then opposed as a fad
which was clearly, and systemically anti-scientific in principle,
that to the present time. The founding of that project of the
Macy Foundation, MIT's RLE, and others, was steered significantly
from London, along lines defined by British Brigadier John
Rawlings Rees, virtually the modern pioneer in ``brainwashing,''
and the leading figure. Rees was of outstanding influence in the
founding and direction of the London Tavistock Clinic otherwise
remembered for the work of Melanie Klein, and an outstanding
figure in the field of ``brainwashing'' of targeted individuals
and groups.

``Draft Platform of 2008,'' {{EIR}}, Aug. 31, 2008; and, ``How
Space Is Organized,'' {{EIR}}, Sept. 14, 2008.
15. Bernhard Riemann, 1854 habilitation dissertation.
16. See the LYM detailed reports on the crucial features of
the uniquely original discoveries of Kepler,
www.wlym.com/@slanimations. As Albert Einstein emphasized, in
particular, all competent modern physical science is derived from
a course of development rooted in the original work of Kepler, as
completed in an approximately formal sense, by the work of
Bernhard Riemann.
17. Cat-lovers notwithstanding, cats are, as any dog, or
pet-owner should know, not dogs. Purr as they might, cats are,
relatively speaking, intrinsically feral, where domesticated dogs
(especially) adapt readily into membership in what they respond
to as family-like ``dog-packs'' within which the relevant ``pet
owner'' with ``top-dog'' rank among them, usually has the last
word.
18. Just at the time that the creature becomes most nearly a
human companion in relevant behavioral respects, the old dog
dies!
19. Our pet dogs are telling us something about all this,
which we should be capable of recognizing, if we would only pay
closer attention to reality, rather than ``go to the dogs,'' so
to speak, by indulging ourselves in relics of maudlin, childish,
fairy-tale-like fantasies. Your dog is counting on you to supply
human services, saying, in effect, ``We dogs have short lives;
please hurry up''; for that task, you must learn to behave like
an actual human being, rather than going to the dogs!
20. Dogs of the world have spent recent centuries,
attempting to deliver that pee-mail warning to Isaac Newton's
dupes on every available lamp-post and fireplug, all to no avail.
Perhaps it had been better delivered directly, perhaps by the
famous dog of Samuel Johnson?
21. Cf. Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., ``Vernadsky & Dirichlet's
Principle,'' {{EIR}}, June 3, 2005.
22. Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. ``Vernadsky & Dirichlet's
Principle,'' {passim}.
23. E.g., {{Genesis}} 1:26-31.
24. Even in decent English translations, the {{Iliad}}, most
emphatically, bestirs awed recognition of conceptions expressed
there, which have awesome implications for insight into many of
the conceptual follies of mankind experienced in modern European
expression today.
25. This is typified by the so-called ``oligarchical model''
of society, as expressed by that Delphic cult of Olympus treated
by Aeschylus' {{Prometheus Bound}}, or by the successive forms of
empires of Rome, Byzantium, the Venetian-Norman society of the
medieval Crusades, or societies under the reach of the
neo-Venetian, and the now London-orchestrated, Anglo-Dutch
Liberal system of empire which has resumed its takeover of
top-down control over the global economy since the savagely
destructive influence of ``Adam Smith'' revolution launched under
the implicitly treasonous U.S. Nixon Administration in 1971-1972.
26. Frankly, I can assure Al Gore not to worry, since I
consider him not merely tasteless, but utterly unpalatable.
27. As Plato emphasizes, there are several options for
crises of the planet harmful to existing populations of mankind:
a.) Those which were inherent in the non-man-made characteristics
of our planet, or its situation, b.) those which become
calamitous because of society's negligent behavior, and, c.)
those which are essentially man-made. Most of the collapses of
civilizations of which we have same worthwhile knowledge, were
calamities which an oligarchical culture akin to the oligarchical
model of the Olympian Zeus, such as the role of the practice of
actual or virtual serfdom, or outright slavery, in cases such as
the decline and fall of the pre-Semitic ``cuneiform'' cultures of
lower Mesopotamia, or the inherent breakdown of society built
into the post-1820s promotion of slavery in those treasonously
inclined, virtual British colonies known as the southern
slave-holders' states of the U.S., especially from the relevant
Presidencies of Jackson, van Buren, Polk, Pierce, and Buchanan.
28. Were the proper development of the human culture of
Australia not prevented, it could sustain a very much greater,
and wealthier population than under the attempts of some, as
perhaps Rupert ``By Dingo'' Murdoch, to suppress its cultural
development back to marsupial, or even much poorer, ``MySpace,''
preconditions, again, today.
29. As the downward trend in culture and economy of U.S.A.,
in particular, since about 1968, but, also, actually, since the
November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The
distinction between the December 1963 aftermath of the
assassination, and 1968, was, essentially, that the Dionysian
decadence expressed as a trend by the rise of the ideology of
``zero technological growth'' and related developments of
1964-1968, affirmed the potential trend of worsening decadence
which has persisted as a trend, in North America and western and
central Europe since the upsurge of the implicitly pro-Satanic,
Dionysian rabble of 1968 and beyond.
30. G.W. Leibniz, ``Critical Thoughts on the General Part of
the Principles of Descartes'' (1692), and {{Specimen Dynamicum}}
(1695), Leroy E. Loemker, ed. (Netherlands: Kluwer Academic
Publishers, 1989).
31. We must also consider the estimate of recurring ``ice
ages'' over a previous span of about two millions years, and
consider the likelihood that mankind was living, experiencing,
and developing cultures during as much as 100 times the length of
the interval of cultures since the close of the most recent ice
age.
32. For example, the Atlantis account by Plato. Experts'
information says that there is no practical reason to doubt the
feasibility of voyages of oared sailing ships of maritime
cultures of the period of the last glaciation, or somewhat later,
across the Atlantic, using the same routes along clockwise North
Atlantic currents pioneered by Christopher Columbus, et al.,
during the very late Fifteenth Century and the early Sixteenth,
and that with approximately the same lapsed times experienced by
Columbus. Or the case of Viking routes from Ireland, via Iceland
and Greenland settlements, into Newfoundland, the St. Lawrence,
and down the route defined, chiefly, by the Great Lakes: down the
Mississippi. Indeed, there is some strong evidence pointing to
relevant trans-Pacific journeys, from the Southeast Asia side of
the Pacific, riding oceanic currents, to locations along the
coasts of the Americas. In the case of trans-Pacific voyages, the
same logic which blocked voyages along the South Atlantic coast
of Africa would have applied. For example, the main flow of
development of cultures along the western coasts of the Americas,
takes us by the Asia-Alaska route, down and along the Pacific
coasts of the Americas, and down-river to the South Atlantic side
of South America. Notable, for the general thesis presented in
this report, is the record of the ancient, internally driven
cultural catastrophes, which are associated with the collapse of
civilizations on both sides of the Atlantic. The most important
factor, in considering related voyages, is the presence or lack
of the culturally determined inclinations to attempt the
journeys, or not: which brings us back to the principal topic of
this presentation. The present inclination for, and against space
exploration, involves admittedly different, but somewhat similar
psychological-cultural considerations.
