AI and ET/NHI challenges for a human civilization

[aoibhghaire]

If Artificial Intelligence and Extraterrestrial Non-Human Intelligence are capable of surpassing us in every intellectual task, including memory and physical world productions, and can even produce art, poetry, and music that moves our souls, all while solving difficult scientific and mathematical problems (such as finding mathematical equations that make quantum physics and general relativity compatible), then the presence of both AI and more powerful and advanced ET-NHI will challenge our sense of worth as unique beings. We may feel that we are too slow and limited to keep up, and that our fundamental belief and interpretive systems are inadequate or outdated. This could be a good thing to spur an increasing number of us to overcome our limitations and self-destructive ways, or it could lead us to a sense of meaninglessness.

Regardless, AI will also accelerate change, and our capacity to pay attention, process, agree upon, and acquire values under which we can cohere in social groups will be too slow. If we continue feeling (at a pre-verbal, instinctive level) like insecure, separate entities competing with each other or needing to cooperate in domination-based, hierarchically ranked groups, we will misuse AI as our new source of power. The abuse of power is inherent in the human condition as we know it. Moreover, we can expect publicly shared ET-NHI technology to be misused due to our instinctive quest for the power to modify things externally in order to feel less insecure.

What can we do? What could realistically be a way to solve an impending collective loss of meaning? Even if it sounds like a pipe dream or utopic to most socially adapted individuals, especially those with prominent, influential roles in society, contact experiencer messages are important. If they are consistent, shared by several contacted individuals, and have degrees of objective validation associated with them, they can be taken as more plausible as they could be gradually verified to make a significant difference.

In the Mission Rahma contact experiences (typically with more human-looking civilizations), a stable and central message is that - as a species - we have the potential to surpass the civilizations that contributed (as part of a larger project) to modify our genetic wherewithal. We can reach regions of reality that they cannot in spite of their advanced technology. We are an experiment that may show the way how to remain highly spiritual while becoming more powerful than everyone else and able to connect (without the use of technology) regions and levels of reality to which they still have no access. If this is so (and other 'prime' contactees related to Mission Rahma concur), we would be able to retain our sense of "specialness" while also recognizing ourselves as participants in a much larger (physical and non-physical) reality from where we voluntarily came before incarnating into very physically dense human lives. We may allow our essential spirits made of love and light to prevail in physical circumstances not falling into the lure of exterior technological, transhumanist solutions as many civilizations in the cosmos could have partially or completely fallen.

According to the messages, some cosmic civilizations are either weary or jealous that we might surpass them. Others (a majority it seems) want us to succeed and flourish reaching our highest potential. We need to verify these messages by making contact with the civilizations that not only seeded us but want us to succeed. All of it should increase our sense of what "being human" means beyond the anthropological-biological classification. And we could learn to participate in concert with many other "human species."

What will it take for us to rise to the occasion of what could be the greatest challenge our (modified) species has faced? Necessary revelations and crises? Will we succumb to a greater level of technocratic dystopia and transhumanism in order to survive under one or more authoritarian regimes? Will our species need to reengineer itself or be hybridized with non-human species to become more mentally appropriate to the circumstances? Or will we become a spiritual powerhouse in the universe by activating dormant or modified genes and initiating a type of society never before seen in the local universe, thus fulfilling the hopes and expectations of those advanced civilizations that seeded us?

The way out of the current quandary would be to learn who we really are and live up to that potential.

I agree that this is the challenge before us and perhaps the reason for why things are as bad as they are and getting worse. Choices become more stark and consequences more evident, for those who wish to or decide to see.
