Peak Stupid! Intelligence - Or Dumber Than Rocks?
Artificial Intelligence Is Far From Intelligent
Forward:
Lucky me - today I have been instructed to try to express how we might save the human species - and foolishly - I accept the task.
It will not be accomplished in one essay - or without the help of billions of other aware and connected and dedicated humans.
As I am faithfully reminded by my wonderful readers it is the energy of our creator - or God - or Universal mind - which we must keep in our sights these days.
These are not just the Thomas Paine’s “days which try mens souls” - which the “summer soldier and sunshine patriot” will never comprehend - but the Great Fall Of International Civilization.1
Today we stand in opposition to a force field which is taking over not only all of us but one which will all but guarantee our complete extinction.
I cannot possibly link all the videos which exemplify this force - and will endeavor over the next few days to begin linking the best ones.
I don’t see this new enemy as something entirely new - but an outgrowth of the drive of our civilizations toward technological dominance.
WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE
Human civilization has already demonstrated an utter lack of honest self assessment or capability of understanding what precisely it has created.
Once humans had the potential of becoming at least as intelligent as other life on the planet but failed miserably to live up to this promise.
Other life on this planet does not work hard to make life more difficult for its own species while humanity absolutely does work against itself.
One must take a hard look at the usefulness of such a species in the framework of life on earth.
The surest way to make a species useless in the framework of the earth ecosystem is to act against the very energetic and biological systems which make the species possible.
While a species might tolerate minimal conflicts over resources or over reproductive capacity such as mating behavior - it will not tolerate widespread deliberate predation against one’s own species.
And yet this is exactly what we as humans have been taught and manipulated into doing.
Above I ask if this is dumber than rocks - but I have too much respect for rocks to continue to use this analogy.
In fact it is difficult to come up with any analogy which fits here which accurately may describe the plain-vanilla stupidity which drives humans towards their now all but inevitable fate.
And we have been engaged in such institutionalized stupidity for countless generations across at least 10,000 years of history - never even raising the possibility that we might be seriously suicidal as a species.
We may very well today feel that we live in the best of times - the most advanced and technologically sophisticated of times.
WE, AS HUMANS, HAVE REACHED PEAK STUPID
The fact is we are living in times in which the stupidity quotient is the highest it has ever been.
We have reached peak stupid - facing finally the logical outcome of over 10,000 years of calculated aggressive and violent predation against our own species.
This came about through a desire to be more - more than what we were created to be - better than the other species of animal - better than just another link in the chain of life.
Capable of - through our opposable thumbs and our big brains - becoming better at creating than the mind of the entity which may have created us.
But the most important thing we did was was we sought to use technology to lord it over others - to strengthen the classic primate dominance hierarchy we call a civilization.
It never occurred to us that through civilization we might be our own worst enemies - that we as creatures on this earth - given these unalienable rights by a creator - might be mistaken.
That maybe everything we had built over more than 10,000 years or so since the last ice age was worthless - was harmful and working against any sovereignty we might have thought we were gaining.
Volumes were written full of excuses as to why our civilizations collapsed with almost hilarious predictability - eagerly awaited and read enthusiastically - despite their inability to get at the real causes.
We can see today that our leaders are almost like caricatures of those individuals who gain power over baboon troops - human equivalents of those manipulative animals who lord it over their fellow primates.
The behavior on watching the G7 meeting is so uncannily reminiscent of the behavior of primates in a baboon troop as to be striking.
Th same physical signaling of fellowship, the same cringing allegiance, the same social methods of temporarily minimizing their aggressive tendencies.
It was almost as if these leaders were not each killers who would sooner knife each other in the back than agree on anything - and whose own cringing allegiance to the Pope in Rome was revealing of so much.
Once again human civilization is a primate dominance hierarchy which exists as a stratified system - the intent of which is to have more dominant - more aggressive and manipulative individuals to prevail.
In other words human civilization - rather than keeping us safe and rather than allowing us to create beneficial technological progress - exposes us to more danger and dooms us to technological progress that is not progress at all - but technology which assures the survival of the dominance hierarchy which is destroying us.
I am not going to describe the minutiae which history reveals to us which proves this situation - as there are other writers who are far better at this than myself.
Here I introduce
a fellow SubStack writer who is extraordinarily capable at describing the history which proves the existence of this civilization history .These are written in Spanish and should be readily translated by your browser.
Again whether by this writer or another the proving will not be encompassed in any single essay - not matter how skilled.
If this were an easy matter to prove and obvious to all humans we would not be in our present dystopian collapse of our world civilization.
If it were easy to see that we live in a civilized culture which more closely ensembles a codependent family than a civilized anything - we would have avoided this scenario.
Now we face the Grand Collapse - the Great Civilizational Collapse of all Civilizational Collapses.
Either at this late date we begin to catch a glimmering of how things could be different if we change - or we will go the way of other maladaptive species which have littered the evolutionary history of our planet.
Nature does not care - nature will go on just fine.
The universe shrugs off such failures like so much water off a duck’s back.
God - or the creator - or the universal intelligence - does not play favorites or play dice with the universe.
The mind of the creator creates great works of evolution to be successful.
If through our own foolish pride and lack of self worth we prove this particular species was a mistake the universe simply shrugs and moves on.
For 10,000 years in the history of the universe is nothing in the scheme of things and our imagination - that which places us at some pinnacle of evolution - is but the proof of the most foolish of foolish imaginings.
We “should” be capable of recognizing our errors now and of correcting these and through self correction move on.
THE FIRST WAVE GIVES WAY TO THE SECOND WAVE
There are plenty of fellow humans who do recognize the truth - that we as humans have erred and must change - and who will go on to make up the Second Wave after the Great Civilizational Collapse.
Through the grace of spiritual wisdom, and shamanic leadership enough committed and diligent dedicated humans will survive.
The wisdom gained from the first round of human evolution will serve to dictate the future of humanity.
The current era will go down as the First Wave - the wave which led to the Great Extinction - which resulted as the so called Fourth Industrial Revolution which gained supremacy and which then led to the infamous Fourth Reich.
These will become The First Wave teachings and will lead to the achievements of the Great Age of the Second Wave.
With imagination and spiritual fire fueled by the mistakes of the First Wave - the Second Wave will revert to spiritual and ecological and technological balance and harmony.
The Second Wave will show what human beings were capable of all along - as the lessons of the First Wave will never be forgotten.
Through the telling and retelling of the mythology which drives the First Wave to extinction - the Second Wave will studiously avoid the hubris driven violence, aggression and dominance hierarchies which marked the First.
The Unalienable Rights which the creator had always intended would become fully integrated and recognized as a new civilization arose amidst the ashes of the First and becomes - as is now becoming the Great Second Wave.

"Through the grace of spiritual wisdom, and shamanic leadership"
Yes, I myself have contributed something a bit similar, this idea that, yep, we may need witchcraft.

Actual Intelligence beats Artificial Intelligence because only ONE can create the other. If you don't know which is which, you have neither.
