Yes some here are clearly more primitive than others. Clearly one would have to be a psychopath to see any beauty in what will likely unfold. Now what are these actions you see that can stop this survival based nightmare?
This "beauty based evolution" thing is how "life" evolves AFTER it "solves" (not really the right word, but we'll ignore that for now) the "problem"/"energy barrier" of the genocidal cycle (the GD Crisis War Cycle).
While there IS a certain (technical) "beauty" to the way the GD Cycle works, there is certainly no beauty in genocide per se.
As to the "how do we get around the GD Cycle" question: I've given one possible way that that might be surmounted somewhere else in here (I'm really not sure where), but it basically boils down to the following...
Unite the mentality of all humanity about the nature of the cycle by way of "fully immersive emotional education" such that any "recalcitrant" sub-culture who can't "recalibrate" their cycle "position" (to "peaceful") at will, and at least "per generation", is "eliminated" (surgically excised) from humanity, so that each "nation" deals with other nations, and their internal populations, in a voluntary trade way.
Klaatu barada nikto! Or is it just Klaatu barada?
..no biggy. Easy peasy, yeah!? <chuckle!>
A natural result of this would prompt "nations" to make as much space as possible between themselves and other nations, which will propel us into (firstly) the surrounding solar system like blobs of tomato goo and seeds from a bite by an old man with dull dentures.
Obviously this ain't happenin' this cycle, or the next,.. though maybe before the next, as "the singularity" may "magically" arrange things so as to allow the cycle to be "surmounted"?
..don't know. But the upcoming cycle crisis is extremely likely to NOT be avoided by what might be, or presently is, a very immature "Singularity AI".
Any thoughts?
