END OF THE BOOK OF SYMBOLS
Unlike human nature, human culture has often changed.
And so long as humankind is confronted with serious
factual-modal and normative anomalies in denominational
and political ideology, human culture will have to change
again, either voluntarily and with direction or as a
result of an intercontinental holocaust.
If humankind chooses to be completely consumed in fire by
its own acts, a new species may eventually rise in youthful
freshness from its ashes again --as an ancient legend has
it-- but not with any antiquated books in its hands.
If humankind chooses to follow the right way, it may save
the old books from the fire, but it will have to break
then with every tradition of taking fiction for fact and
venom for value --and with the legend.
In either case people will be served by a new model to
interpret the past and the present, and to build on for
the future.
