Infrared Handed And The Horn

 


Bee with flower survivals both: no bee bargains, collectively or otherwise, to trade its day for pay, no bee collects or dispenses flower-"favors" or vice or virtue-versa. It's called precession--the mutual inadvertent fecundation of moving bodies at right angles: the invisible epiphenomenal hand, or knight's move, of synergy. A figurative predecessor, a simpler model but no less romantic is Adam Smith's "invisible hand of the market" which supposedly outpictured "public good from private greed"--Unfortunately, that invisible hand is now infrared--caught performing unconscionable acts in the age of child-molesting and mass exploitation through corporate industry and marketing. The moment abundance was technically available, the moment the technological/industrial cornucopia was recognized (now for several decades), the Invisible Hand turned demonic-- it became a pale claw. Right turned left. Only demons, devils would leave people to starve and die in the streets while hoarding and guarding a horn of plenty, said voices in the world-wide discussion.
