Chapter 14 -
intelligence
Humans are infants -
on the possibility intelligence continuum.
TAP asks explorers to -
assess intelligence quite differently -
than how most attempt to assess it today.
TAP injects a core purpose into the assessment of intelligence -
greatly simplifying it.
TAP recommends intelligence be placed on -
a selfishness continuum -
from 100% selfish to 100% unselfish.
Many things of the universe can be assessed at -
the 100% selfish point -
meaning the lowest of intelligence.
Most physical elements of our universe -
have this level of intelligence -
meaning they are all about self -
and what that self wants -
or needs to establish balance and long-term sustainability.
To maintain a presence within the story of the universe.
Nothing of our universe possesses 100% unselfishness -
NOT even the gods.
They want the story and need the story.
The story is the only thing that establishes their true existence.
100% unselfishness makes no logical sense.
Perfection is NOT the ultimate objective -
instead ONLY balance and long-term sustainability.
So on the intelligence spectrum -
the goal place to be is -
at the exact middle point.
We ALL must balance our selfishness -
against our love of others.
Again with TAP, love is all about -
our concern (thought) and help (action) of others.
We cannot be loving to others -
all the time.
We cannot be selfish -
all the time.
The best we can do is create a balance with both.
The problem with humanity today -
is a great majority are way too selfish.
So much so that -
human civilization is about to implode.
And worst of all -
because human intelligence is so selfish -
most think the solution is -
to be more selfish.
So the humanity chapter of the story is -
nearing the end.
Intelligence is NOT how well we play the game with:
misinformation knowledge
misunderstanding
dishonesty & lying
taking advantage with the above.
Meaningful intelligence -
from the universal perspective -
is very much the opposite.
Putting the opposite practices to work -
to create balance between -
selfishness and love.
