Even within humanity there are two very distinct
and telling forms of intelligence: Real Intelligence
and Cleverness. [I have often said one cannot
beat a clever man at checkers--a computer is a
super-clever "being" but it has zero Real
Intelligence.] Perhaps the "genuinely" most
intelligent people in human history have never
done anything "clever" enough to achieve any
fame, and have lived out their lives in secluded
happiness (as opposed to nerve-racking fame/
celebrity). Even if the world were taken over
by Terminator-like super-computers, I believe
Really Intelligent people would still manage
to find a way to out-wit the "clever" machines
and continue to find ways to live out lives of
secluded happiness ... It is the hallmark of
real intelligence that it finds a way to adapt,
while those with limited Real Intelligence (and
no matter how clever--true of even computers)
must be placed in nearly-perfect environments
to function comfortably. Certainly, I cannot
imagine that the really intelligent would waste
their time engaging anyone/anything in pointless
contests for world/or limited supremacy!
If there's anything the truly intelligent understand
it is ... the staggering miracle that is any kind of
existence (at all, let alone a conscious one). That
is more than enough for any really intelligent being.

Ha! Monkeys are more likely to develop more
efficient ways to throw their feces about... than
to develop any sort of technological Utopia.
And, for better or worse, we are monkeys.
Pn the other hand, it is still unresolved whether
we are intelligent enough to destroy ourselves.

God with which to rob people of their money.

Aaaai Captain,...
Natures Harmonies are to be found in any niche, crook or cranny of its
edifice, why travel when you can access the universe through your very
current location,.. Hence our very current location is hidden well
within the root,..
It's a concept and you can't chase concepts, nor universal principles
nor truth, for they existed before you or i and shall beyond our days as
mortals,.. Nothing can be changed here, it is, will be forever more,..
T's the ghosts in our closet's we are dancing with,.. Entertained by the
illusion we dance and dance, chasing more like it,. running even more
for the ghost clang their pots and pans, rally up our forces to action,..
God and religion are the implemented cage within which the morality
framework can create just that right working tension for the ghosts to
have their way,.. Hence if you can't see past morality, you can't peek
into the closet and nullify the power of the ghosts,..
Our cage is that we won't look behind the screen at the ever present
nothingness, allness, oneness, Oh my word, i am the monster of my very
imaginings, for none of this is real and i am simply chasing my own tail,..
Oh we are so clever, look what we did,... [awaits the hand out from
mummy] such a clever creature,..
Would have to say, one of our basic complexes, absolute guilt regards
our mom,.. We can't handle the fact that we are looked after by this
mystery,. Breast fed by this earth,.. Looked after by its
shield/coating,.. We just can't bear it, we can't accept responsibility
for it,.. We will tear ourselves from ourselves to return to a
bastardised race as we subconsciously feel we are,..
Are these the roots of our ancestral starry heritage,.. Is this a proof
that we are indeed not from here ancestrally,... Or is this the key
modular program projected on the mass by the elite in order to fulfil
their subconscious ailing,..
Biofuels is a good example,..
Mr Corporation is responsible for what fuels we use for Mr
Elite/Arcadian made it so,.. Mr Slave, morality bound, accepts the
subconscious guilt of the Elite as Mr Slave obviously strives for such
'Elite' status, he is liable for the subconscious debt,.. for something
he was not even part of, but erroneously strove toward,..
We are still living in the story of the garden of the gods,..
Medicine/Technology will follow this story line,.. the garden of the
gods and the squalor of the mortals,.. The myth of the fountain of life
in the garden of the gods,..
Same game, so many ways to play it,.. But like the poster says,. You
have to believe in it to be swept along with it,. otherwise, the
fractalytic universe is available to you at any nearby crook or cranny ,..

And we shall never know the answer.
