Chapter 027 - 2019.10.30

Philosophers and scientists -

• have been struggling for millennia -

  • with how best to define and measure -

    • this important concept.

Humanity has tended to deal with it -

• relative to themselves -

  • as the most evolved life form -

    • to possess the attribute.

TAP looks at intelligence -

• as if the human is just one of many -

  • possible life forms of our universe.

Also that humanity is maybe NOT the most evolved?

TAP believes in balance vs. perfection.

The graphic presents intelligence this way too -

• on a possibility continuum -

  • that I have never experienced before.

Thinking about intelligence -

• having more to do with selfishness -

  • than anything else.

TAP sees the ultimate top intelligence -

• as being a perfect balancing point -

  • between 100% selfish and 100% unselfish.

And that ALL the things of the universe -

• are on the same journey -

  • to get to the balancing point.

The graphic even presents the possibility -

• that some alien life form -

  • has come very close to achieving the -

    • best possible objective.

But it would be an individual vs. -

• all the alien civilization -

  • as a whole group.

The example graphic includes -

• some things of the universe -

  • that have traditionally been excluded -

    • from possessing intelligence.

The purpose of these inclusions is -

• to suggest that EVERYTHING -

  • exists to help -

    • work toward the primary objective.

Begging the question:

• "What if the physical exists -

  • ONLY to make possible the primary objective -

    • of TAP-like intelligence?"

TAP believes -

• without intelligence -

  • the physical things of the universe -

    • are meaningless.

Awareness and -

• especially, sharing awareness -

  • are essential.

Without these things -

• than everything else is meaningless.

TAP believes -

• if there's a God -

  • there MUST be at least two Gods -

    • to share the possibility with each other.

A lone God outside the bounds of the physical universe -

• makes no logical sense.

TAP would have you consider the two -

• challenging one another -

  • to what will the universe's story include -

    • with ALL the possibility -

      • of the combination of both -

        • the physical and non-physical realms.

Might the purpose of EVERYTHING, simply be -

• to understand the ever-changing truth of emergent possibility?

Where the two Gods don't even know -

• what will happen next or -

  • in the final chapter of the story.

That there's no planned or known outcome.

That every component of intelligence -

• has the potential to impact the final outcome -

  • bad or good.

That evolving intelligence in time is -

• key to how the story ends.

All local civilization stories -

• as well as the one overall universal story.

TAP believes that humanity can easily go extinct -

• and it's just one chapter in the overall story.

Other civilizations may find more success -

• and that's all the two Gods need.

With this type of thinking and believing in mind -

• humanity is encouraged to work together -

  • more unselfishly -

    • to ensure their chapter does not close.

This approach establishes common purpose -

• that is rooted in evolving intelligence -

  • with honest important info understanding.
