The acronyms of world organizations and agencies and programs and projects that I keep hearing at this conference are like amino acid sequences in the working parts of enzymes , the “domains”, sometimes highly conserved across species and even phyla in evolution.

We permute the 26 letters of the alphabet like the 26 amino acids, to create units of meaning.

World society is still evolving, very actively and rapidly now, to some kind of new organismic unity – if we make it. Will these acronyms be highly conserved?

“In the beginning was the Word.” And the Word will be at the end – unless there is nothing.
