Aldiss【EPUB】 ALPHABET OF AMELIORATING HOPE By Brian Aldiss A ngelic voices speak of a Utopia which will soon come about once the secret research inWisden Ohio is completed. B asically existence of a ‘circumstance-chain’ in human relationships will be establishedproving causality between mental activity and the external physical world. ‘C ircumstance-chains’ are operative in all human lives for instance the child deprived oflove develops into a being who finds difficulty in establishing loving relationships inadulthood. D irectly the research is complete we shall view the world anew. E xample: terms like ‘loser’ or ‘the guy who has all the luck’ will be seen as labels forthose who are bound favourably or otherwise by circumstance-chains. F or clarity this revolutionary new aspect of the human condition will be termed ‘transpsychic reality’ a new sanity will prevail on earth. G oing mad will no longer be necessary. H orror will vanish fear will never strike. I ntellect will never more be scorned. J oy will visit rich and poor alike. K eeping faith in love and life will be an easier thing. L ove will not be just a theme that people sing. M adge Winterbourne was the hero in Wisden Ohio she had originated the anticatastrophehypothesis. N o one who met her doubted she was the modern equivalent of a seer or saint. O r an Einstein of the female sex. P lans were hatched to release details of transpsychic reality to the whole world on the sameday the first of a new century. Q ualitative tests on volunteers in Wisden suggest that once people understand the pattern oftheir lives they can be taught to take command of them. R eality will then change those who are malicious will see the root causes of the miseryprovoking their malice and be able to expunge it. S ome criminals and power-seekers may prove more difficult to readjust may indeed form a coreof rebellion against the new Utopia. T ranspsychic reality will see them gradually phased out.
