Webcast with Helga Zepp-LaRouche The Next Jump in Evolution: The End of Monetarism

"Lyndon LaRouche developed this notion of the relative potential population-density, as a reflection of this law of the universe, almost 50 years ago. It is also true for the development of the species on the planet, that on each level of development, the resources are relatively limited, and either the species becomes intelligent enough to reach the next higher level of energy-flux density, or it goes under. This is why the dinosaurs went under, and why the super-large mammals like the mammoth also didn’t make it.

Now, the oligarchs today, are such a species. One can debate if they’re dinosaurs or mammoths. In any case their mental metabolism is such, that the amount of consumption in the form of primitive accumulation, in relation to the intelligence of their minds, is not effective. Like the mammoths, they will end as a dead-end, as a blind alley of evolution, and they will disappear. The only danger is that they will take the human race with them.

The question, therefore, is, are there enough intelligent people on this planet, who will act on the basis of this recognition, that civilization is about to crash into the wall, and are willing to change it? Can we willfully go to the next level of development, of evolution if you will, rather than staying in the realm of so-called equilibrium, limited resources, geopolitical wars, thermonuclear destruction, and the extinction of civilization?

Are we ready to make the next jump in evolution, which means the next level of energy-flux density, thermonuclear fusion, go for a crash program to have matter-antimatter reactions; manned space travel to the Moon and Mars as a mission?

Are we able to deal together with the galactic threats, which are clearly influencing our planet through changes in the weather patterns, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and so forth? The astronauts and cosmonauts who came back recently from the ISS space station, in their press conference, basically said that the dinosaurs made a mistake, not putting their DNA on other planets, and therefore they could not survive these similar challenges.

Now, the key is to recognize that the Second Law of Thermodynamics is a fraud. The universe is not running down and tending towards an increasing disorder, but to the contrary, there is a tendency of increasing anti-entropy. Evolution does not occur from below, as Darwin had tried to argue: It’s not the survival of the fittest, it is from above. It’s what both Nicholas of Cusa and Vernadsky recognized: that it is the higher species which grips from above the lower one, and pulls it upward."
