No, both your reductionisms are boil down in only linear fashion. The puny Dome and the fragmented Fairfield program halls (..eleven (11) program halls scattered around the County and also people off by themselves) as numbers are just too small for the dull weight they lift.
The larger tragedy here is that apparatchiks of the Patterson-Morris-Maharishi era let the Dome numbers get so bad. Or that ill-disciplined good meditators like some.. abandoned their posts. Superradiance critical mass evidently happens with numbers in proximity. Numbers and their proximity is in the basic science from the beginning, like the Bible says, where gathered ..there is superradiance. That superradiance lives as a reality of spiritual practice evident in the science and by experience while the peer science is still good in principle as it is replicated. In doubt you seem trying too hard to disgrace those who are here and what is at hand in contending simple linear reductions. Quite instead, you all should be here meditating for all sorts of good reasons in life. Jai Guru Dev ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote : I was about to put up similar figures. The current estimated population of Iowa for 2018 is 3.16 million. 0.01% is 31,600 and √31,600 = 177.763888 which means you only need 178 people for program in Iowa. So that means if more hogs in Iowa near Fairfield represent the lack of support of the laws of nature, then the ME formula is false. Alternately if the formula is correct, then the presence of additional hog farms represents support of the laws of nature for the greater population of Iowa, and not based on the desire of a small contingent community with contrary ideas. Again, alternately, were the formula true, and more hogs come, the program itself must be faulty and not be implementing the effect. Regardless of a small part of the universe, the whole remains in balance. You have (at least seeming) control over action alone, never its fruits. This point in the Bhagavad-Gita always seems to be forgotten. Desiring a certain result and expecting it to always come true is known as spiritual materialism, and represents a lack of understanding of the nature of consciousness.

Iowa has 3 million people. Square root of .1% = 173. FF has 10,000 so 10 is ME threshold number for FF. From what I have read the low range of attendance in domes is around 400, which ME predicts should powerfully and positively affect across a much larger region, an area of 16 million. The ME effects in FF and Iowa, one would expect from the ME theory to be extraordinary, after 30 years of constant practice in the domes of at least 400, much larger in some eras. The ME threshold is exceeded by at least a factor of 40 in FF, and a factor of 2 - 10 for Iowa over the years. Yet FF and Iowa, on a comparative basis, do not have exceptional crime reduction, or economic performance -- or any other measures that I can find. (And per the topic of this thread, CAFOs in Iowa have quadrupled since 2001, and are a growing problem negatively affecting the quality of life on many levels.) What are the effects of ME in FF and Iowa that are consistent with its predictions? And beyond lack of noticeable effects on crime and economy in FF and Iowa, are there any studies indicating ME affects climate change? I wish the challenge of climate change was as simple as having groups of ME practitioners totaling < 10,000 worldwide. However, given the above, it does not seem credible or plausible. Better perhaps, that people world-wide meditate and then act with clearer minds to transform our economies and cultures towards a thriving civilization with zero to negative (via sequestration) greenhouse gas emissions
