Meeting Ultra Advanced Intelligent Beings

Right. Buckle up.

LOL

You know this thing around nowadays: 'you have been lied to?' Usually they say it in the context of talking about history and especially all of this 'conspiracy/Rothschilds/Illuminati/whatever' stuff.

A friend here just recently asked 'why do things seem to be getting... (worse all the time)?'

Never mind that. Let me introduce you to, well, to something better.

Well I say 'introduce' but you may already be well aware of these things I am about to embark upon talking about.

Star Trek Borg 'Seven of Nine.' Has a romance with
Captain Janeway, as you will recall. And, why not.

Take that Star Trek idea about 'the Borg' - this huge collective consciousness entity made up of a composite of biological intelligence and very advanced technology. I don't say 'ultra advanced' but only 'very advanced.' I think there can be an 'ultra advanced' which maybe isn't as myopic as the Borg seem to be. All the same, one overarching attitude of certainly, the Borg - and I would suggest all super advanced intelligent groups - is a totally uncompromising attitude to what each regards as the most crucial ideas and objectives.

So with that in mind I'm going to take you to an area you might not have suspected that we should go. And I'm going to say to you that in days of yore, and among highly elite and secretive and also very learned people - to be truly 'educated' meant specifically ONLY ONE THING AND THAT ONE THING ONLY. Have I made it abundantly clear enough there??

There is one and one only order in which certain ancient books must be taught, in order for the person to ever be regarded among that secretive group of which I just now spoke, as having been truly and correctly educated.

The very first book and no other at all, is the Euthyphro. You won't have to read it because I am going to explain it to you here - but you can of course read it if you want.

Euthyphro, circa 2020AD, inherits his father's money after he
has the state banish him for 'impiety' and drives around the courthouse
in celebration.

Socrates is at the 'porch' outside the court of the Athenian chief magistrate, when he meets Euthyphro, a young Athenian with social and political ambitions which are quite naked to the aged Socrates.

"Oh, what are you doing here?" Euthyphro asks Socrates, seeming to be surprised to see him there.

"Well as you know, Euthyphro, there has been scandalous defacing of some of the sacred statues of the city, and it being presumed this was carried out by rebellious and wanton youth, some have thought me to be at fault for this seeing that I give instruction to certain of the kind of rich lawless youth and that some also do things that I tell them to and so I have now been charged as the one ultimately responsible and to blame.

"But you, Euthyphro - what are you doing here? I at least are here not of my own will."

"Oh well, Socrates, I am obliged to conduct myself with piety before the gods, and thus sadly, I have come to bring charges against my own father of murder or at best manslaughter seeing that he left his slave out in the open one cold night wherein the slave did perish from exposure."

Socrates then expresses some critical reservations about various ideas and beliefs of what the gods think that 'piety' actually is, and specifically voices great reservations over the divine accounts that emphasize the cruel and inconsistent behavior of the gods.

('cruel and inconsistent behavior.' Are you reading this and taking note of it?)

Next Socrates forces Euthyphro to face his own ignorance about what either piety is or what the gods are really like, if they even exist at all - which let me be plain here, and for your part try to resist the temptation to consort with ignorant modern commentaries; for Socrates absolutely does hold there are 'gods' albeit none that are at all like anything that is commonly supposed. A lot of modern academics, especially those out of Oxford and similar want to tell you that Socrates was an atheist - he was not an atheist; not even slightly.

But the point of Socrates' conceptions about 'the gods' and his consistent declaration that he in fact conversed with them, or more accurately, that they gave him advice... ...and it is what I am presenting also to you here and now, which is namely, that there is at least, a certain kind of uncompromising attitude among such ultra advanced beings. Not something myopic and self-interested like what the Star Trek Borg display, but necessarily uncompromising because once you get up to a level of intelligent sentience, there is no scope for such diametric intellectual opposition as would entertain fighting or argumentation or even disharmony among such 'people' on account it would prove devastating.

Some entirely 'other' place altogether; no 'Euthyphro's' here.

So my point is that in order to fully understand the world in which we live, and fully control our survival and life in it - it is absolutely vital without compromise that we possess every skill of sound logic first, and then next completely accurate and uncompromising knowledge of the very meanings of equity, and justice, and 'piety' (as such) or moral truth at least. And finally we have to possess some motive force explaining our own desire to continue to exist at all... You know, we need to understand, as in, really understand, 'the purpose and meaning of life.'

What happens next in the story about Euthyphro is that Socrates says to the ambitious man: 'do you wish to know and understand then, the true nature of the gods, and the real nature and existence of moral truth and equity and justice - for we can work on them here and now and discover what each of them are and then our actions will take on a different dimension...'

And Euthyphro says 'oh Socrates, look, the time has passed so quickly now and I must hasten away as I have all these important things to do as I have told you just now.'
