The term "Cybernetics" comes from the ancient Greek word "cybernaut" which refers to the steersman of a ship. In logical cybernetics we draw an analogy with this to steering our logical thinking towards an ever greater understanding of the Universe. The common cybernetic thinker, that is almost all of us, totally rely upon what we have been taught by others. We are like the steersman of a ship who takes over the watch from another, totally relying upon the logical navigation so far being correct. The very rare meta-cybernetic thinker says to himself "something is very wrong here". In order to find out what is wrong, I must go back to nothing and rebuild all my logical thinking back up from a void logical base. In air or sea navigational analogy terms, we must make the declaration “we are lost”, hopefully before our aircraft runs out of fuel or we sail our ship over a terrible reef. Our only safe logical ground is to turn back to a secure void logical base and then start out all over again
