The human species is the only species that does not necessarily assume we are all in this together.  Julian Jaynes, and others, suggest that our unique “bicameral mind” translates as double-camera.  In the right-hemisphere, we are all united.  In the newer left-hemisphere, the assumption turns into a hypothesis and our species becomes a horde of scientists and philosophers asking what feels like a devastatingly significant question.

When I die, will all that is important to me about being part of this species, about sharing this planet at this time, die with me?  Or, do I achieve the conclusion that I am not only a person with double-hemispheres but also synchronized hemispheres?  Does what goes on inside my head “sync” what is in the environment so that “as without, so it is within” and vice-versa?

Each normally gifted human individual, with sufficient maturity, has the freedom to make that choice–the hermit-isolated bicameral choice, or the synergetic bicameral choice.  No individual of any other species appears to behave in a way that is consonant with the isolated choice, unless they are what we call “rabid.”

If we all were to wake up this morning and decide to make the synergetic choice:  that we are all in this together, then:

1. We would be surprised by the overwhelming scientific and mathematical, as well as theoretical evidence to support that assumption.

2. We would find a lot of evidence to support that the opposite assumption is in fact irrational, with rabid effect on our planet.

3. The fact that everyone else has made the same assumption is a delightfully self-fulfilling prophecy.

4. Now our Universe meets William Thurston’s geometric definition of a “Unique Universe.”  Oversimplifying just a tad, because neither of us has all day:

We have just closed Pandora’s Metaphysical Box; we have just opened Schumacher’s 8-possible geometric Universe in 4 dimensions.  For those of you who may be math hobbyists, a post script:

Now it is not only True that P (for “polynomial time” = “Left-hemisphere”) = NP (for “non-polynomial time” = “Right-hemisphere”) but we have also proven to each other that P=NP, just as Yang=Yin.  Congratulations to us, we just won $1,000,000, payable in two years.  Not a bad way to start the morning, was it?
