Dear Fellow Earthlings,
Today we will deal with entreaties 6 and 7 (introduced in Installment 628). Entreaty 6, in short, states that "Although there are several "3Rs”, the ones mentioned in I-628 are:
Recognizing Quickly;
Reacting Quickly;
Rectifying Quickly.
In the past we humans needed to recognize our many dilemmas before they got out of hand. In response to that recognition, we needed to react quickly -- but we did not. So now we need to rectify the situation quickly. But that is going to be easier said than done. Indeed, it may possibly be too late!...
The chronic imbalance in the ages of human beings on a worldwide basis is causing us all sorts of headaches. Young people do not want to be burdened with the responsibility of taking care of their elders. But elders are not just quietly fading away. New technologies and strategies -- despite the negative effects of global warming and a worldwide recession -- allow elders/seniors to live longer than ever before. But these oldsters usually need at least a modicum of elder care and other special treatment in order to live on!
Oftentimes, young people are unwilling to perform their duty to reproduce. This is due to such factors as economic stress and the effects of a polluted, overheated physical environment. The very hormones that make fathers and mothers capable of producing children are being knocked out of kilter by environmental and sociological factors. At present, our entire human populace is being unravelled at its chronological extremes. As a function of immediate economic gains and social pressures, fewer babies are being born. As a result of pollution and global warming, men's sperm counts are dropping all over the world. At the other end of our population spectrum, older people now acccount for up to 35% of the population in some parts of the world. Older people just do not have the physical stamina to be as productive as people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s...Sooner rather than later, we must muster the human intelligence (HI) of our populace with the artificial intellegence (AI) of the worldwide web of robots to improve the situation.
My blog page contains that magic little box for you to fill in with key words. Today 3 "key expressions" will help you find your way:
Example 1: Live and Let Live! : From not murdering a spider just because it is in your kitchen, to neutering your house cat and putting a bell on it so as to give ground nesting birds a chance for survival... From avoiding plastics so that they do not gum up the works inside your body -- or the bodies of each fellow life form whose home is Earth -- or the bodies of water that are being totally stripped of life -- we need to be considerate and kind. In other words, we should live in order to let live! If someone has a religion that we do not follow, we should nevertheless respect that person's right to practice whatever belief system kee has come to associate kermself with. Only when one entity poses an existential threat to others, should we consider intervention so that undeniably destructive or malicious behavior can be stopped. And (not to be overlooked!) If one's own urges to become angry cannot be suppressed, kee should seek professional help immediately. Kee should be able to rest assured that seeking guidance will not lead to recrimination against kerm.
Example 2: LANGUAGE MANAGEMENT: My blog contains various installments -- about 235 out of a total of 631 (to date) that deal with this. Please go to my blog and start putting in key words and phrases (such as "language management", "saving...", "The Jingles"). That will get you started. Only by managing all human languages will we be able to preserve them. Even as you read this, computer generated, so-called human language is eating away at our flesh-and-blood, muscle-and-bone, culturally-rich, true human languages.
Example 3: NEW TECHNOLOGIES: New technologies are suddenly appearing before humans can learn how to deal with them -- or learn FROM them. Actually, most humans are blindly embracing these new technologies just as sheep follow sheep farm owners' and their dogs' orders. We keep heading down the road of no return! No matter how "smart", how "quick", how "user friendly", the technology is, I personally will not follow blindly. I will not throw away the old for the new merely because the new is "innovative", "impactful", "efficient"! I tread lightly when I face a new entity -- or enter new territory! Yet, I must ask that HI find ways to utilize -- and control -- AI before Earth's ecosystems are destroyed entirely.
A few more suggestions:
1. To stop people from traveling excessively or unnecessarily, the development of "artificial reality" (erroneously referred to in the past as "virtual reality") that can satisfy the longings of people to explore faraway places with (what used to be) "strange sounding names" should continue.
2. When individuals meet, it should soon become possible for them to choose the exact dialect and style of language they wish to use in order to foster friendship, do business, conduct research, or even to fall in love.
3. All life forms should be guaranteed the right to pursue life (that is to be born, to develop, to mature, and to pass their genes along) -- or, possibly, even to extend their life spans through telomere restoration. After this has been accomplished, joint HI/AI efforts at maintaining the system must continue -- with additional adjustments made, depending on changes in environmental factors and/or in the event of unforeseen contingencies.
More suggestions await you, my dear fellow Earthlings! Let me know if you do not agree with any aspects of those attempts to make life better for all of us!
