• Question: What does TAP see as the main pillars of any intelligence-based civilization?

TAP Response #0058

• Initial response timestamp: 2020.10.21 -15:59GMT

• Last update timestamp: 2020.10.21-15:59GMT

• Response:

  • Imagine a single pillar beneath three (3) other pillars.

  • The base pillar is important information.

  • The other three are:

    • Economy

    • Governance

    • Education

  • Everything sits atop truthful info and understanding.

  • If these contain error -

    • then everything else contains error -

      • and will create:

        • imbalance

        • unsustainability

        • and outcomes that are less than what is best.

  • There's NO perfect -

    • when it comes to the complexity of a whole civilization.

  • Perfection existed before intelligence emerged.

  • It's ironic that intelligence is given the meaning it has,

    • for intelligence of a civilization is more about the non-intelligence it possesses.

Smart Question #0060

• Discoverer/ submitter: 'the alien'

• Submission timestamp: 2020.10.21 -16:24GMT

• Question: Where does the typical human being sit on the intelligence scale?

TAP Response #0060

• Initial response timestamp: 2020.10.21 -16:24GMT

• Last update timestamp: 2020.10.21-16:24GMT

• Response:

  • The typical human being sits left of center -

    • more than half way the distance to the left end.

  • Humanity intelligence is evolving.

  • It's NOT evolving to the right hand end point though.

  • Instead only to the midpoint of the scale.

  • This being the balancing point,

    • for the universe only seeks balance.

  • We cannot be more unselfish than selfish.

  • The best we can do is to balance the two (2.)

  • Human life itself is this challenge -

    • to help self vs. to help others and sacrifice self-interest.

  • But others are NOT just family, friends, community and nation.

  • TAP teaches that others MUST be THEM of the distant future.

  • So intelligence assessment -

    • has to do with how we think and act -

      • toward helping to ensure a good future world.

  • Today's world focuses on self-interest.

  • This is why the typical human is so far left of center.

Smart Question #0062

• Discoverer/ submitter: 'the alien'

• Submission timestamp: 2020.10.21 -19:18GMT

• Question: Why's selfishness important to understand and focus on?

TAP Response #0062

• Initial response timestamp: 2020.10.21 -19:18GMT

• Last update timestamp: 2020.10.21-21:27GMT

• Response:

  • If we are too selfish then we will NOT survive.

  • Humanity cannot just assume that tomorrow will come for it.

    • Instead ifuture survival must be planned for and worked for.

  • Many will argue that humanity has been through tougher times before -

    • and has always come back stronger than before.

  • TAP will attempt to relay a different truth -

    • that NEVER before has humanity been faced with:

      • 1) a human population size and rate of increase -

        • like it has today

      • 2) physical resource reserves -

        • as diminished as they are today

      • 3) wastefulness & destruction of the biosphere -

        • as Capitalism encourages

      • 4) disinformation proliferation & misunderstanding acceleration -

        • as exists today.

  • These factors in the extremes of today -

    • have never existed before.

    • And it's all too apparent that no one knows what to do next -

      • to bring about improvement.

  • Selfishness,

    • with respect to THEM -

      • is critically important to focus on now -

        • in considering next step improvement steps.

Smart Question #0064

• Submission timestamp: 2020.10.22 -11:46GMT

• Question: What's the TAP civilization model look like?

TAP Response #0064

• Initial response timestamp: 2020.10.22 -11:46GMT

• Last update timestamp: 2020.10.22 -11:46GMT

• Response:

  • With more honest important info acting as a base -

    • the TAP model is best understandable -

      • by focusing on its economic system.

  • Today's economic system is designed to grow indefinitely.

  • TAP's economic system is designed to stay mostly consistent -

    • across all human generations & time.

  • Consistency and equality across generations is key -

    • to balance and long-term sustainability.

  • ALL of today's governance systems utilize the hierarchical leadership model.

  • TAP's improved good governance system -

    • is based on TAP's group voice solution.

  • Today's education system supports the design of the other two pillar systems -

    • and emphasizes the GREAT importance of 'the job.'

  • TAP's base education system is totally free for life -

    • and emphasizes imagination & creativity -

      • because 'jobs' no longer hold up the TAP economic system.

  • In the TAP world, automation does most of the repetitive work of society.

Smart Question #0066

• Discoverer/ submitter: 'the alien'

• Submission timestamp: 2020.10.22 -12:04GMT

• Question: What does renewing money mean exactly?

TAP Response #0066

• Initial response timestamp: 2020.10.22 -12:04GMT

• Last update timestamp: 2020.10.22 -12:04GMT

• Response:

  • Imagine the TAP economic system including cycles.

  • Every cycle has an alpha (start) point and an omega (end) point.

  • At omega -

    • all existing money is deleted in the world -

      • TAP calls this 'zeroing.'

  • At alpha -

    • the new cycle currency is replenished -

      • TAP calls this 'renewing.'

  • This solution does several GREAT things for civilization:

    • 1) Reduces monetary crime & corruption

    • 2) Maintains generational consistency

    • 3) Simplifies record keeping

    • 4) Encourages balanced budgeting

    • 5) Encourages investment in necessities of life

Smart Question #0068

• Discoverer/ submitter: 'the alien'

• Submission timestamp: 2020.10.22 -12:37GMT

• Question: Please, more details on future credit?

TAP Response #0068

• Initial response timestamp: 2020.10.22 -12:37GMT

• Last update timestamp: 2020.10.22 -12:37GMT

• Response:

  • TAP's future credit concept deals with the reality -

    • that bad events are always lurking around a possible next corner in life.

  • The typical person will:

    • make mistakes

    • have accidents

    • get sick

    • die.

  • The TAP economy deals with this -

    • NOT by creating worry & fear,

      • but instead by eliminating both.

  • Live for today vs. for tomorrow.

  • But some things needed or wanted,

    • from the economic POV,

      • cannot be afforded now.

  • So people purchase credit with limited available funds,

    • in the present -

      • to one day get the thing -

        • in the future.

  • And if bad should happen -

    • then the bad does not negatively impact others or THEM.
