“See to the root” or mockery of curiosity.
I am once again re-reading Stanislav Lem’s amazing book “The Sum of Technology” and have already filled many pages with my objections to Lem, this does not detract from his title of my teacher and spiritual daddy!
But his arguments in chapter three, “Cosmic Civilizations”, simply irritate me with the stupidity of the “visionary” authors quoted by him, who talk about the lifetime of the “Psychozoic”, that is, a more or less psychologically developed civilization (of course, the same human civilization is taken as a model for it, for lack of another one). Some Sagans, Dysons, von Horners, Bracewells and Shklovsky all talk thoughtfully about the reasons for the “mysterious silence of the cosmos.” as evidenced by very expensive attempts with the help of some ultra-sensitive and ultra-large radio telescopes to “catch” REGULAR and repetitive signals on some frequency, which, according to high-minded radio astronomers, would be of “Reasonable” origin.
This note is unlikely to bring anything new to the judgments I have been repeating for fifteen years and it is caused simply by the trivial irritation of a sighted person, a seer. how a crowd of blind “geniuses” crowd around the elephant, groping it and making clever judgments about WHAT it is!
I was particularly annoyed by the paragraph “Statistics of space civilizations” – empty chatter with copious quoting of “estimates” of the lifetime of civilizations ranging from several billion years to more than ten thousand years! The main stupidity of all the authors lies in their idiotic preset, devoid of the slightest common sense and expressed by the magnificent tirades of Lem himself, such as:
“The situation is very unclear: after all, if the evolution of life in its pre-civilization form lasts for billions of years, then it is difficult to understand why the “psychosis” should die just a few tens of centuries after its MAGNIFICENT start.
If we understand that even a million years is only a small fraction of the time during which civilization could develop (since the mother star can supply radiant energy for millards of years), then we will understand the mystery of this phenomenon, the solution of which so far MOCKS our curiosity.”
I’ll forgive you for paying attention to the outright stupidity of these arguments, NOT by LEM, but by the authors he quotes! If purely biological evolution lasted for billions of years, then the “psychosis of civilization” should last no less!
Why, for what reason?
That’s why we want to!
And we will consider the “Great start” in this note a little later. Needless to say, the splendor of cannibalism is downright dubiticidal!
Next, about the mockery of “mystery and riddles” over “our curiosity.”
There is at least a double stupidity here: the “Mystery of riddles”, which do not exist in NATURE, and all the mystery and riddles exist only in our stupid herd and template thinking, clogged with worn-out dogmas!
And this is not curiosity, but ASSCURIOSITY, because we do not think with our heads, but with a completely unintended part for this occupation!
So, let’s look at the root. As I have written more than once, any life on a purely mineral planet is created by Creators — plants and algae.
Then symbionts appear, such as bees on Earth, which by the very fact and way of existence are in harmonious cooperation with the Creators, supporting and strengthening their creative activity quantitatively and qualitatively.
But then, PARASITES ALWAYS and EVERYWHERE in the Universe appear, which use all organic matter and oxygen (on Earth) as living conditions already READY FOR THEM, parasites, without giving anything to the Creators, but only destroying them, thereby already initiating self-destruction, because parasites without the powerful support of the biosphere, created and continuously renewable Tvrtsami, they can’t live.
And finally, there is a man, the worst superparasite, who successfully destroys everything with ever-improving technology for this. But this parasite does NOT arise as a natural development of biological evolution, as highly intelligent idiots repeat by rote, but as a result of a HARMFUL, albeit very random and rare mutation of human ancestors- monkeys.
Radiation from highly located uranium deposits in the Belgian Congo caused this terrible mutation of the transformation of ordinary monkeys – normally vegetarians, into predatory, vicious and strong parasites, for whom there was only one way to survive on the soil surface (and not on tree branches) – CANNIBALISM. This, in turn, created such a rigid framework for the struggle for existence that only the most treacherous, cruel, vicious and merciless creatures survived in the cannibal herd, with an ever-growing SOPHISTICATED intelligence, but at the same time perverted – the INTELLIGENCE of CANNIBALS!
This immediately creates a kind of boundary from below – the rarest probability of coincidence of various factors for cannibalism as the ONLY MECHANISM. creating high intelligence, even cannibalistic!
The rarest coincidence of different geological and bioevolutionary probabilities.
Again, this is the boundary from BELOW for the occurrence of “Psychosis”.
Well, the upper limit follows directly from the very mechanism of the emergence of a superparasite – a human, the only biological species on planet Earth, a PARASITE LIVING on individuals of its own species – humans! And, as mentioned above, any parasitic life is always suicidal, because parasites are not interested in anything except to eat and reproduce. Multiply all this by the continuously growing technological possibilities of habitat destruction and we will get a quick and speedy end to such a maliciously parasitic “civilization”.
This is the UPPER limit of the duration of the existence of the “psychozoic” – ten thousand years.
AND THE END, suicide in the abyss of a habitat destroyed by superparasites!
Amok’s run to the abyss, already visible nearby!
Here are the reasons for the silence of the cosmos:
On the one hand, there is an extremely low probability of the appearance of creatures whose norm of life will be two million years of cannibalism! That means intelligence.
On the other hand, such a predatory and superparasitic civilization is initially doomed to self-destruction by its very evil essence!
For it is superparasitic and therefore THOUGHTLESS!
For the example of the development of life on Earth is a UNIVERSAL example!
And no mystery and no “mysteries of nature”! Everything is clear, transparent and understandable even to an idiot.
BUT NOT TO A MAN!
