The Ultimate Star Wars Paradigm

It's really a great lead-in to what I was going to post here anyway right now.

When you use your iPhone or tablet or whatever device to get onto the internet, you are really relying on another structure that has far more literal physical energy than what the battery does in your handheld phone.

All of these phone and data communications towers around the place carry relatively massive amounts of electrical power. Even the basic data centers that keep the actual data in their IT devices is using hundreds of megawatts.

A simple, and benign pic
posted now right here.
...Kind of a bit misleading;
but kind of not, either! 

Each coms tower is running maybe five kilowatts continuous.

As a unit of communication, you are part of a huge network and structure much bigger than your individual personal component build. That network is far less complex and sophisticated than you are, but it is bigger and more 'powerful' in terms of energy used up.

Actually where I am trying to 'go' with this is to the aspect of complexity and sophistication.

You see, General William Sherman once noted that the cruelty of war cannot be refined.

In theory, a top-line commander of some super-connected network, can, could, did in fact, take down tall buildings with some words and some ideas - and that would be a 'solution' for some dialectic 'contest' resolved at least in the short term, with violence.

If the most advanced intelligent beings in the whole entire Universe relied on violence as the final answer to all of the lunacies of the human species - then it would be a legitimate thing to do to bow down and worship objective material weapons. They would literally be deified. 

Because they were the final means to all intellectual discourses.

God thinks, but then He needs something, to effect a material solution. (....?)

This is a ludicrous proposition but it is the one that everyone holds in their fairly weak and mediocre human minds most of the time.

The ancient Classic teaching is that the gods rule by subtlety.

That it is not possible to use violence morally, is also false.

But I will assert categorically, that when 'strange rare or generally unknown/unseen beings' use force and violence down here, they will keep it a secret. You, will also be extremely quiet if or when you discover what is going on.

Istanbul 'culture museum.'
Very beautiful.

And what is going on?

Well people are meeting in 'minor councils' right now and wringing their hands and going 'will we/won't we' - 'should we/shouldn't we.' And, 'is there another way?'

But I suspect that after a brief while now, they will all get up having deciding that they will in fact actually do something. 

But why be quiet about it?

I plan on watching some of the old Star Wars original canon some time this weekend, and I will know that as soon as the massing of ships in the Rebel Fleet or whoever, takes place on the screen, the problems with Darth Vader will all soon be solved with violence, because in the movie, the good guys are more ultimately 'powerful' than the bad guys who only merely thought they had the best physical weapons.

All of that movie-land lip-service to Jedi mind tricks and whatnot all ends up quite redundant when eventually the gun is still mightier than the pen, the words, or even the mind.

So let's all bow to the gun. Let's worship the gun.

...On the other hand, I have little moral problem, or even intellectual philosophical problem - with admitting that it is the skill with, and the genius of certain minds and personalities, which is essentially the key to prevailing with the use of weapons as tools.

I post these kinds of pics
so that you won't think 
about going out and spending
money on things that you 
can afford.

And this is going to be my submission to the little 'minor sentinel council' there is up here, at this time of the year when you, if not anyone else, ought to be calling to mind the following:

'And SUDDENLY there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host...'

And these guys were all 'singing praises' and carrying on and there was 'peace on Earth, good will to men.'

Okay now listen to me. Don't you be naiive.

'Heavenly host' means war army in the same way you are looking at some battle ships of the Rebel Alliance or all of those kinds of people in Star Wars movies.

Except what you have to factor in is just how quiet you can be about it.

And then, next thing you know...

WHAM!!

There is no one here on this planet who can understand actual Sanskrit properly in its fullest written complexion and form as used by advanced intelligent civilizations - this is the Pali thing. Or the Brahmi text, as it was called at the beginning.

I've played this track before and never showed the lyrics because indeed they are meant to have several meanings.

Here is the actual recently-released official video with the actual lyrics.

This is Brahmi or Pali... This is in part, what it is.

Actually it's not; it's Devanagari. ; )
