The System of the Universe
Q: What do you mean when you say, “control nature?” Has man ever done that consciously?
A: Leading means knowing the system and knowing how to affect it in the desired way. By intervening with the system, we evoke movement and change in it. Naturally, we assume that it is always we who perform the actions, but the question is how well do we know the system we are trying to influence? Often enough, we want to do something a certain way, because we want to attain the best result for ourselves, but instead, we get a bad outcome. This is because we only know a part of the system, and we see that we did not calculate the outcome of our action correctly.
In fact, man always stands opposite the collective system of the universe, and deals solely with affecting it.
