Jim’s Daily Rant. Bragging To Aliens.

Suppose a traveler from a highly advanced planet came here collecting books or other evidence for the Intergalactic Library demonstrating how advanced we, the inhabitants of earth, are. What type of books would you suggest we give him to brag about the achievements of mankind?

History books? Probably not. They would only depict how for thousands of years we could not learn how to love one another and simply live in peace.  History books would only show how civilizations continue to kill other civilizations today.

Medical books? Probably not. Although they might show our current but still incomplete understanding of health and medicine, they would still be viewed in light of the fact that the vast majority of humanity is unhealthy and does not have access to medical attention. We can’t impress anybody with that.

Science and technology books? Nope, as these would only demonstrate that most of our strides here came as a result of the military, warfare or the desire for people to control others, even if just  economically.

Religion? If so which religion? We still continue to kill each other over this one.  Probably not law books either. Its obvious that the more laws we pass the worse things seem to get. How about books about government and how it helps mankind? Doubt it. Just look at where we are today.

Let’s face it – after several thousand years we still can’t just love each other, appreciate our differences and simply live in peace together. This is probably the only thing that would impress an advanced culture and we haven’t done it yet.

Is building a Coop Village a drastic step? You betcha, but maybe it’s time we focus on that and stop embarrassing ourselves.

PS. I am now proceeding with the Coop Villages project after putting it on hold for 15 years, until the Reset. I hope to help others secure Humanity Grants to finance them in local communities around the US.
