Fig. 3. The nuclear civilization reality. The MAD Volcano, 1945-2025-?

         Trump's 2019 idea of ​​universal denuclearization, skeptically perceived as fantasy faces insurmountable obstacles of narrow, disciplinary approaches that "rather requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the underlying security anxieties and provides alternative mechanisms for guaranteeing national security without nuclear weapons." (https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=1270)

         "A comprehensive approach with alternative mechanisms" is the "Peace Science" and its holistic spheral thinking and tools, overcoming the narrowness of disciplinary thinking (DT) and its mechanisms. It is presented in our Primer and no o­ne knows it.

2. FACT-2. Nuclear civilization and its cognitive deadfall

of disciplinary thinking

         Almost everyone knows the NC named facts, many talk about them, both in the UN and the leaders of some, especially nuclear states, for example, the President of Russia repeatedly repeats that in a nuclear war "there will be no winners", i.e. everyone in it will remain dead. The new USA President, answering questions from correspondents in the White House o­n February 22, emphasized that America and Russia have so many NW that it is enough to destroy all life o­n the planet 50 or 100 times, accentuating the recklessness of "common sense" in continuing its race and hinting at the need to reduce and eliminate it.

         The MAD fact has been trampling o­n all the humanity foundations of being, culture and consciousness for 80 years, starting with the universal Golden Rule of Religions as the most ancient source of the perpetual peace culture. The Primer authors do not enter into a discussion of many well-known social, historical and military-technical details of this NC reality key fact. We obey the main requirement of the Greek synopsis, the Primer brevity so as not to lose the forest, the whole and humanity perpetual peace behind the details, as behind individual trees, the existence of which is threatened by this deadly, carcinogenic NC, which has grown o­n the NW yeast during 80 years. Our Primer begins with the NC reality, which has trampled the GRR, under the MAD threat of which we all live and ends with science and scientific instruments for liberation from it, as from the deadly deadfall of the inevitable nuclear war in it, in order to end it and all wars before the war ends humanity and cuts short its life.

         WHY has the knowledge of this existential fact and its discussion for 80 years not led to scientific, fundamental knowledge about how humanity can collectively get out from the NC "genocidal-suicidal" deadfall because it is incapable of doing this by definition, piecemeal, continent-by-continent or country by country? The o­nly way out of it can be through recognition and scientific knowledge of the integral perpetual peace as a single, indivisible and infinite in time security for all nations. The reason for the humanity intellectual impotence and each of its subjects in recognizing this integral, single path to survival lies not in the plane of its socio-economic confrontation but in the cognitive plane of the impotence of its narrow, "blind to the whole" disciplinary thinking (DT). It created the NC but is incapable to consolidate humanity by new thinking in order to jointly find a single, acceptable to all nations scientific way out of it.

         Even at the DT dawn, more than 2.5 thousand years ago, the great philosopher of antiquity Heraclitus of Ephesus aphoristically expressed the deepest vice and limitation of this thinking: "Much knowledge does not teach mind." How is this mysterious aphorism deciphered in the peace science? It claims that knowledge of any set of details/parts does not give knowledge and intelligence of the whole, does not teach to think of the whole, leaving DT "blind to the whole." This has always been with this thinking, and it has remained so in it to this day, bareing its key vice precisely in the NC epoch. Heraclitus discovered the historical fact that DT is inadequate to extremely large-scale and complex, holistic objects, such as perpetual planetary peace, which cannot be revealed as a whole by fragmentary thinking, through many of its particular details. Cognition of the humanity perpetual peace is impossible for it, just as "one born to crawl cannot fly." This is proven by millennia of past history.

         If perpetual peace would accessible to DT, then over the thousands of years of its existence it would have created its science. But this has not happened in history so far. The peace science is absent in humanity, even as a concept, which the reader will not find in any encyclopedia, with extremely rare cases of using this term as a metaphor, nothing more. Therefore, this historical fact is defined as follows: the peace science absence in the humanity history so far is explained by the cognitive narrowness and limitations of traditional DT, which is inadequate to the planetary scale and fundamental depth of the humanity perpetual peace.

         Explaining the fact of "thoughtlessness, blindness of the whole" in the disciplinary much knowledge, i.e. inability to “see/think the forest, the whole, for the trees”, making DT “blind to the whole” is given not o­nly by Heraclitus. It is given also by the ancient Indian parable, known in other cultures, about “blind men feeling an elephant”, each of whom identified the elephant with the part of it that he touched. As a result of which none of them had true knowledge about the elephant and a conflict arose between them o­n this issue, in which not the truth, which was absent from all of them, won, but the force of o­ne of them.

         Therefore, correct knowledge of the parts does not ensure true knowledge and thinking of the humanity holistic perpetual peace that is illustrated by Fig. 4.

Fig. 4. Disciplinary, o­nedimensional thinking, “blind to the whole”

         The disciplinary sciences, even if a huge number of them have accumulated, as today, 75 thousand, are like blind men in the knowledge of the “elephant of perpetual peace and its actors - spherons”. They are able to know its separate parts but are unable to cognize it as a whole due to a narrow way of thinking. They cannot “catch” it, just as you cannot catch a whale with a butterfly net. Such limitations of disciplinary “multi-knowledge” have been preserved and intensified in the West NC. Its multi-knowledge in 75 thousand disciplinary sciences (DS) has not taught its subjects the mind and thinking of survival in general.

         This trend was noticed and fundamentally determined in the epistemological nature of its narrowness by A. Einstein at the dawn of this civilization more than 75 years ago. He wrote “The significant [planetary,global, holistic] problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we at when WE created them.” [Therefore] “We should require [search, create] a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive."We will focus here o­n the first part of Einstein's statement, leaving the other part for the next chapter.

3. FACT-3. Humanity with DT is doomed to live with insoluble

planetary problems and the MAD growing risk

         The DT deadly threat and vice in a whole, useful in parts, but dangerous as a whole, was revealed by the NC in 80 years, during which the DS 75 thousand like 5 blind men of an Indian elephant, turned out to be the same blind to the whole, powerless to find and offer a holistic solution with a common, acceptable to all nations way out of the NC deadly deadfall created by DT. From this follows o­ne fundamental historical conclusion, stating a similar, but invisible, deep existential fact.

         DT, creating new and aggravating old global problems of humanity, which it is not capable of solving with any number of DS, condemns humanity to eternal life in its cognitive death deadfall, o­nly continuously increasing the risk of all catastrophes (ecological, demographic, economic, AI, logistical, etc.). This especially concerns its MAD, continuously reducing the remaining 89 seconds in 80 years before the launch of its nuclear volcano. What confirms and irrefutably proves this?

         1. The unattainability and insolubility of the problem of perpetual peace for millennia for DT, especially urgently needed in the NC, in which it o­nly intensively increased the militaristic hell of annual local wars, armed conflicts, terrorism and violence.

         2. The intellectual task of creating perpetual peace instead of temporary militaristic truces turned out to be inaccessible to the understanding, scientific structuring and solution of all international organizations, scientific academies and national governments in the NC DT during 80 years. We not to mention almost three thousand years of its previous life, when the need for perpetual peace was not as necessary for the humanity survival as it is today.

         3. "Blindness of the whole" is the DT fatal vice for humanity, inaccessible to the perception, analysis, evaluation and understanding of all its governments, academies and academic priests at all times in the absence of an adequate fundamental scientific alternative. This alternative was intuitively comprehended o­nly by the separate coryphaeuses, "initiates" giants of thought for 3 thousand years, who were always ignored in the DT but "on whose shoulders", o­n the integration of their highest intellectual epiphanies and achievements our, GGHA "Peace Science" was built, which is revealed in all chapters of the Primer.

         4. DT is ineradicably ambivalent, ambiguous in its mental nature, like a two-faced Janus. o­n the o­ne hand, from the side of the cognizable parts, it is true, useful, provides all without exception world branch achievements and civilizational comfort in all its parts. But o­n the other hand, from the side of the whole, it is blind, powerless in its cognition, leaving unlimited scope for delusions, mistakes, all sorts of speculations, inventions, ignorance, unintentional or intentional lies, o­n the basis of which all partial ideologies of all sorts without exception have flourished and are flourishing at all times. The DT two-facedness can be briefly expressed by such pairs of categories: “good/bad”, “true/false”, “useful/harmful” simultaneously, but, naturally, in different respects.

         5. The ambivalent DT is always thinking in double standards, which determines them in everything: in politics, morality, values, law, especially in international law, science, diplomacy, etc. The double standards have become the NC everyday and universal norm. They hinder the search for a single truth for humanity, common values, common morality, a common worldview that unites all its nations and ethnic groups. Instead, the DT of double standards serves as a constant source of confrontation, hostility, violence and all wars. Therefore, it can rightfully be qualified as "militaristic thinking" in this part, cognitively responsible for all wars. With DT humanity will NEVER know and build its perpetual planetary peace. With it, humanity will vegetate throughout its history always in endless wars with endless militaristic truces between them that was noted by I. Kant. In the NC, its nuclear confrontation and war threaten the complete destruction of human.

         6. DT by its fragmentation of DS 75000 is doomed to eternal ideological confrontation and antagonism of o­ne groups with others. The totality of all their partial truths is not capable of providing them with a common and single truth as a whole that makes them "half-truths", giving rise to a "false consciousness and worldview" o­n all global, planetary issues.

         7. This is well revealed and illustrated in the book of the brave English scientist Mark Keenan, in his book "Godless and Fake Science", 2023 and his article of the same name, 25-02-25: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=1255. He defines DT and its sciences as “a matrix of fake science that has polluted modern society for decades,” which with its atheism has “eliminated the existence of God from the scientific world,” “confused civilization with large-scale lies that advance corporate greed and a godless agenda.” The author, as a Christian, “calls for the restoration of truth and God consciousness.” The author emphasizes that as humanity, “we have all been exposed to fake science and its associated ideologies, which we are ‘born’ into and ‘trained’ to accept, and thus live in ‘systematized delusion’…

“This article examines:

• fake climate science

• fake pandemic and fake science in the biopharmaceutical sector

• scientific disagreement with Darwinism and the growing ‘intelligent design’ movement

• the limits of mechanistic science and the church of ‘godless scientism’.

"Truth is important because without it we are lost, drifting and rudderless in a sea of ​​lies... Everything is based o­n truth, and o­nly truth can maintain peace." "Most of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be false."

We are not listing many other facts of limitations, narrowness, blindness of the whole, mechanistic nature, godlessness, confrontation and other vices of the DT.

         8. Many other scientists, turning to effective interdisciplinary research, to various multi-paradigm and multilateral, as in the UN, approaches, indirectly confirm the fact of limitations and crisis of DT.

         This is the fundamental crisis fact of the o­ne-dimensional, linear and confrontational DT, from which there can be no way out o­n its paths, as some think. The way out of it can o­nly be "substantially new", as Albert Einstein defined it more than 70 years ago, demanding to seek and create "a substantially new [... holistic, integral, planetary] way of thinking [by spheres and spherons], if humanity wants to survive." This is principal different, holistic way of thinking, which is developing, deepening and refining our "Peace Science". It has access to knowledge of the planetary perpetual peace.

         This spheral, holistic thinking, in its original and key core, was created by integrating achievements of rare “giants” of spheral thinking “on their shoulders” over 20 years more than 700 co-authors from more than 50 countries, including five Nobel Peace Laureates and the President of India Abdul Kalam in the peaceьmaking GGHA.

         This thinking in its spheral integrity of the planetary society is presented o­n its structural map o­n our Primer top cover. The spheral way of thinking, like all the previous o­nes, appears at humanity certain historical stage in connection with its new needs for a broader and deeper knowledge, first of all, of its own, social nature and finds its place in the evolution of ways of thinking at its peak as a necessary historical fact of another "axial age". The main function of the holistic, spheral thinking of the culture and perpetual peace science is to not lose the structural picture of its "forest" behind the infinite multitude of its "trees" and to constantly be guided by it as a "guiding star" from a "bird's eye view" in its consistent knowledge from the spheral whole to the sectoral and smaller parts. This is discussed in the next chapter.
