Electronics as the Buddhist Third-Way?
Newton's physics is the mechanics of power and the unconciliatory two-party system, in which the strong win over the weak. But in the 1920's a German genius put a tiny third-party (grid) between these two mighty poles (cathode and anode) in a vacuum tube, thus enabling the weak to win over the strong for the first time in human history. It might be a Buddhistic "third way," but anyway this German invention led to cybernetics, which came to the world in the last war to shoot down German planes from the English sky.
The Buddhists also say
Karma is samsara
Relationship is metempsychosis
We are in open circuits.
Nam June Paik, Cybernated Art (1966)
