Being godlike in all ways I have naturally discerned this.
Absolute ways to tell the advancedness of an alien civilization
If they have discovered free energy
If they have mastered gyroscopic levitation technology
If they have increased their brains to the maximum capacity, such that it encapsulates the optimum ratio between speed, flexibility and memory capacity
How satisfied their citizens are (are they well balanced and are all of their needs met? Are they happy or are they full of angst?)
Do they have an active defense platform against asteroids?
Do they have spiritual awareness…ie. are they hyperrational and anhedonic, (Vulcan) or do they ever experience spiritual bliss?
Are they wise? (see 4 and 6) if they are not wise, they may resort to hyperrationality (psychopathy, Vulcanism) in order to maintain their society. This is stemming from a lack of poor judgement and inability to regulate the collective emotional self-control. Vulcanism is sheer overcompensation, and it is a symptom of poor management. The poor management is still there, only covered up with the illusion of judgement, and there is still a sense of idiocy and sensationalist traditionalism behind every decision. If a society is truly advanced they neither need to resort to laws or hyperrationality to maintain itself, this is because a citizen (with an upgraded brain) would have a logical interest in self-preservation, and since it has free energy, would have no reason to steal from others. It would only attack if it was provoked, and if a society was constructed in such a way where individuals provoked each other for no reason, and were mean to them for no reason, it would not be very advanced. For example, despite myself being a higher being, I have the right to be mean to people, even if they weren’t talking to me, because I know human psychology and most of them are bad people and they were mean to me my whole life. However, had I grown up in an advanced civilisation, where people treated me nicely, I would have no reason to be mean to anyone, and the flux of negative energies would cease.
Eighth, do they have an aethereal research team devoted to understand metaphysics, life, consciousness and the afterlife?
What is the condition of their space travel department, and can they terraform worlds?
Do they have a sentience measuring device, and are they kind to sentient animal species? It would be idiotic to harm a sentient, because that could be you someday.
There can be no good test for what is more advanced than you are. You can tell that a species, or some of its experts, were better at some things. But from there it would get very tricky to judge. And a wiser civilization might seem less advanced according to the answers to other questions in the list. We might make good guesses. Like that civ is WAY beyond us. That one seems close to us, but ahead. But it would be guesses. If you add in things like how happy, who knows? I would guess tribal groups were happier than modern humans. Some civilizations may technologically weed out unhappiness - through GM and transhuman parallels - but this may not be wise.
Humans have created levitating gyroscope technology, but have not mastered it. It only lifts a couple pounds.
Human brains are suboptimal.
Lots of citizens are denied basic needs, whether it be food needs, social needs, love needs, intellectual needs, freedom needs, or sexual needs.
NASA has no active platform to take out asteroids.
Most humans act unconscious and do not practice what they preach, ie. a new ager may preach peace and love, except in actuality he is a cliquey douchebag to and rejects anyone who tries to befriend him.
Most politicians are not wise. Just look at the UN, they promoted Libya (a place that stones homosexuals) to the human rights committee, and give Anita Sarkisan applause for her absurd anti-freedom of speech views.
Human science has a Large Handron Collider but no actual team which deals with metaphysics, life consciousness and the afterlife. It seems that humans, even atheists, have an inherent need to cling to blind faith, and passivity. They would rather research microparticles than things of utmost importance, because they want to close their eyes and pretend to not care about death, like it doesn’t exist and has no effect on them.
Their space travel department is ran by amateurs, which is actually a good thing more or less. You can sign up online and give them suggestions. However some of the people in charge, have absurd ideas, like terraforming Mars…even though the temperature on the planet would not sustain life, so there’s no way to terraform it unless you put a bubble atmosphere over the planet, constantly cooling the entire planet by 100 degrees, which would cost a tremendous amount of resources.
Humans are not kind to each other or animals, and most people are so dumb they don’t even know what the word “sentience” even is. So the answer is no.
A nuclear bomb is a transition from one state to another.
You do not care about the transition of state", which means you could care less about what “state” you are in. This is nihilism. Meaning you could care less if you are rotting in a bowl of feces getting stones thrown at you…s’all good in the hood, aka. nihilism.
I am an existential nihilist not a manic depressive or a masochist so your imaginary scenario does not apply here
Though I do love it when others genuinely attempt telepathy based upon nothing more solid than a non sequitur
Tell me more! Is this some thing with superconducters and magnetism or something?
That’s just an attempt to bring them into the fold as it were. Which is wise in terms of the power politics of the west, and if you don’t want dickheads running round the shop smashing things up and beheading people etc. However, I am 1/4 Jewish so maybe its more apparent to me why we need to be like that.
I agree it needs to expand, but I base my philosophies upon what science has learned. In the same sense I think humanity has to keep looking at the world in that way, but I think its reached a point where in needs to become more fluidic. This requires metaphysics, because it deals with observers in polar superpositions, and what is involved in that I.e. One observer is the ‘object’ in another observers eye, thus manifesting a polarity which is potentially + or - but that decision hasn’t been made yet, such for such a quantum superposition to be determined. So in short, yes there is a whole science there waiting to be discovered.
Well you just build a transparent diamond sphere around mars, using something like my carbon manifestor [3d printer kinda] technology. I’d suggest composing it from hexagonal cells, in-case of meteor strikes, and with irises like on cameras, which open to let flyers in and out. Then you fill it full of air and nature, first by building domes, and the greenhouse effect of the sphere will possibly make it warmer once there is air. Alternatively, you could potentially pull it closer e.g. Opposite side of the earths orbit, but I don’t know what kind of ‘tugboat’ that would take lol.
btw, isn’t it good that anyone can be part of it?
Change the environments, and you change the situations and causality which rule people.
You take my metaphor to be litteral, which is your first failing. I was saying, that you do not care about whether you have a shitty afterlife, because you are dominated by passivity and blind faith.
No, it’s just gyroscopes. No magic beans involved.
Positive and negative charge? Where did you derive this theory from?
Now you sound like Kent Hovind.Making a planet sized dome out of diamonds isn’t cheap at all. Also adding an atmosphere to mars won’t regulate the temperature to make life conditions. Mars is not the right distance from the sun to harbor life. Not only would you have to pay a lump sum for a giant glass dome, but you’d also have to pay for the atmosphere to keep it a float. And then even worse than that, you’d have a giant heating and cooling bill. Heating one house is hard enough, but imaging doing the entire planet, 24/7, by a factor of several times more degrees! Then there’s the question of would the atmospheric dome even maintain rotational inertia with the planet’s orbit.
Humans are not ruled by their environments. Man is artifice, he creates the environments. Changing the environments and you will begin to see the same old patterns emerge. You must change the human being itself, by changing it’s DNA.
I have zero control over what happens to me after I die and so not caring about it is the most natural response
And so you are right to say I am passive since for me that is the best coping mechanism for both life and death
Not having free will doesnt mean zero control. You have control. Doesnt a robot have control over itself?
If you have the power to change your life, would you not do so? For instance, you have the choice to sit at home all day and starve, or go to the store. Will you go to the store, or say that free will is not real, therefore you don’t have the power to make the choice to go to the store? Forgive me for being biblical here, but it’s the truth.
We have the power to at least try and find out what happens in the afterlife, and whether we can change it.
There is no evidence that consciousness survives death as death is actually a state of non consciousness
And since consciousness and non consciousness cannot be the same then my logic is entirely sound here
Though if you have any evidence that consciousness does indeed survive death then please provide that
there is as much evidence that dead people have consciousness as other people have consciousness. I can see neither consciousness. The evidence for each is the same.
I just see pink flesh brains that tell me they have consciousness, but they do not ever provide evidence.
As far as death goes, other brains say that it is highly improbable for consciousness to non-exist, yet they have no evidence. Since there is no evidence proving that consciousness will exist, consciousness will definitely not exist after our flesh brains die. There is no evidence saying otherwise.
