To begin such a serious discussion it's imperative to define our terms. So lets start with dysfunctional. Dysfunctional is a codification that describes the state of being at a variance with a general consensus of how a thing should be. This means that a consensus becomes the functional truth with functional power. An established consensus is never open to serious discussion. A consensus is what they say it is. Which brings us to the term, Is. Is is what it is because they say it is and that makes it a fact. This is the power to truth. Deciding isness is the power truth business. It is, it really is, isn't it? Hey! never question authority. America is a place or something in space as an ideal of Liberty and freedom to isness dwindling down a cascading spiral toward a rigidity of fixed "facts" along narrow accepted codifications. Now here the last thing I want to do is be vague about genius.
Genius as opposed to some kind of evolutionary pinnacle is rather an anointed office. The individuated objective self realized state of superior existential intelligence fails the utilitarian political dimension that is prerequisite in the truth power business. Genius in the present age is an orthodoxy of precept codified endeavor. It's almost as if there was a monopoly on genius, acceptable legitimized genius. The anointed Genius must work within an exterior to himself determined paradigm of defined problem and solution. So for a paragraph or two I intend to leave the turgid mud of institutional-industrial utilitarian genius and perchance to dream. To dream, imaginative dreaming, that anti consensual utilitarian genius subversive activity that dares to recklessly transcend the monopoly of truth power.
I dream of an energy revolution. I see a day when the combustion engine lies on the junk heap of history and is mocked as a primitive technology. As excited as some seem to be over this "revolution" in bio fuels, it's forgotten that all this has been tried before and found inadequate as an energy source that works with an optimal efficiency to carry it's own weight. Bio fuels also fail to mitigate the negative environmental impact and have untenable far ranging economic consequences. Yet here we are, our "genius" is right back there again repeating the same failed experiments hoping for a new result. Someday a real breakthrough will come in energy derivation that will liberate earth from combustion as a power source. This revolution will not come from the current endeavors of orthodox Genius. This evolution will come from an individual who realizes that everything everywhere is energy and discovers what will inevitably be a quite simple way to draw upon, tap, manipulate then utilize this universal omnipresent energy.
Who can doubt that this advance in energy consciousness would be the impetus for a fundamental evolution in planetary social hierarchies? Or perhaps they would occur hand and hand but they both would occur. Then joining the combustion engine on the trash heap of history would be the world's suddenly obselete money supply and it's infrastructure for maintaining global financial slavery. These chains and limitations would finally explode in a huge collective silent sigh from individuals who now find themselves free to pursue their dreams with the enthusiasm of a child. Poverty and want fade as the ubiquitousness of this new energy simply make it unnecessary for individuals to fight and strive over what seem at present limited basic survival advantages. As Nationalism and greed disappear along with any possible motivation for war and violence, one can only dream of what people could then do with their lives and what kind of world this might become.
But meanwhile this orthodoxy of dysfunctional genius rules the day and the maverick is shunned to the sidelines, shadows and irrelevancy. The dreamer is mocked as a non competitive fool wasting his hours in unproductive work. But that's the way it's always been. No real advance in technology, knowledge, philosophy, art or religion for that matter didn't arrive but against a stout resistance from a status quo using the politics of the truth power business. However, it's not naive to dream of these new possibilities. No, perhaps not in my lifetime will any New Age arrive, but you look out on the future and all you see are the centuries to come. Plus you can be sure that right now, hidden in some remote corner, there is a self actuated imagination with a vision who is now dreaming but will soon be making efforts and experiments. It is only a matter of time and fortuitous circumstances. It's not about a better Human being or species evolving, it's about a new set of life conditions that will foster the potential better human being already evolved but presently suppressed, oppressed and stifled so hence latent and waiting in most of us. The liberation of mankind will come with the liberation of a universal, drawn straight from the cosmos, energy. I know, it's just a dream, a silly little dream.

I am a simple man of eclectic interests and tastes with no particular academic credentials. I still perceive, think, read and write somewhat. Writing music is a hobby of mine
Much of the new energy you seek is the power of information. The reduction in the waste that comes from ignorance. I.e. the use of four cars when one would do as we are all going in the same direction from a similar start point. What we need to look at is shared consumption rather than being little self contained islands on inefficient consumption. The internet is a tool for efficient consumption.

G is the big letter in the middle of the freemason symbol. Right now, the men who control the power are defining what "is" is.
Have they perverted our language so much that we can no longer figure out that God is us? Or are they saying that they are representing God. "G is us"or "Chi is is" don't seem too far-fetched.
The reason Christians are called that name is because it is all mumbled. It is really X - ion because they carried the cross as the symbol. Hence the names Zion, Psion, and Xion. To double cross us all, they used "Criss" instead of "Cross," but they are one in the same. Satan to them was/is nothing more than a way to rile up fear for the Muslims. "Say tan" is just a way to rile up fear against the C t ions, with the C (sae) representing the crescent moon of Islam, who also recognize Jesus as a prophet, but not in the same way as the X ions. Interestingly, Xion sounds very much like "I own."
All of these organizations have purposefull corrupted our languages and given us only a part of the real story. Look back at the what words really are. There is a reason people are able to communicate much quicker using clever shorthand symbols in texts and IMs.
Human beings never desired to communicate so many things with words. There is no need. Expressions and guestures express how we feel much more accurately than words ever can. Labels only serve to deceive the man.
Words can only bring us so close to the truth, always left grasping more.

Words are like a scout. They can lead us to views but the problem is we never take our eyes off of the scout and see the view.
The beauty is in between the words. I mean that literally. As you read this, first notice the words being pronounced in your head, and then notice the space in between them.
I thank all of you for adding so much to my article.
