Only For The Few

I watched a conversation recently between several distinguished University types - over the philosophical potential of 'time travel.' One clever person proposed the old standard 'thought experiment' about why no one from some enlightened future came back and 'took out' Hitler or prevented some catastrophic pandemic and all of that.

The output - mipperi ('coming to manifest fruition'), of this
channel - ates - ('tree') is for getting back to space - sawdeh -
from the axis ('middle of the field'). If you go on either side of the axis,
you die.

Literally absolutely no one at all in the group having the discussion, could see past their own prejudice over some presumed (and in fact non-existent) primacy of 'group think/group well-being/group benefit.'

What makes it necessarily so that the real Universe 'regards' the well-being of larger numbers over that of smaller numbers? Nothing. And quite to the contrary, it is more manifest reality that there are ascending hierarchies of lesser and lesser numbers as the qualitative differences increase in any standard of continuous gradation.

I guess what I am really trying to say to you all here...

...is that we just might embark on some 'mysterious' (to the rest of the planet) adventure soon that will result in all of you 'stumbling upon' some 'box of antique device' - lol - the opening of which shall present you with riches far beyond the dreams of ordinary mortals.

Would you like that?

"Years later, the shipwrecked Odysseus, on his homeward way from Troy, landed on a Phaeacian beach, where he was discovered by Alcinous' daughter Nausicaa, who had gone there to wash clothes. At this time, the city was surrounded by high battlements, and had two harbors, the Phaeacians being excellent navigators. The king's palace was a splendid building with doors of gold and walls of bronze topped with enamel tiles. The entrance was protected by gold and silver dogs that served as sentries, and outside the courtyard there was a large orchard where there grew pear, pomegranate, apple, fig, and olive trees that gave fruit of the best quality at all seasons of the year. The same was in their vineyard, for while some grapes dried in the sun, others were gathered or being trodden, and still others were unripe. The Phaeacian chiefs enjoyed their great food and wine in a large hall, where youths of gold held flaming torches to light them by night.

This blessed realm, where the gods used to show themselves without disguise when attending the Phaeacian banquets, was the last foreign land Odysseus visited before returning to Ithaca. It was here that he found assistance, and King Alcinous, after bestowing gifts on him, sent him home in a Phaeacian ship, constructed with superior knowledge, for the vessel had neither steersmen nor steering-oars, and knew by itself what the crew was thinking and proposed to do." HOMER, the Odyssey.
