Low Technology or Practicality is Like Flying Saucer Made of Bread



Technology evolves with time: once we understand and learn a new thing, or make a new scientific discovery - if is a consistent scientific discovery - we cannot "unlearn it". Thus also is the accumulation of human knowledge, similar to the evolution of living species.



From the time hominids walked upon the Earth on two feet, communication started to become more elaborated, and sounds became words, and the combination of words became sentences, to which the hominids sound processing natural system adapted, giving the way to many subspecies, among one of them the Homo Sapiens, which Sapiens means “knowledgeable”. For even without a written record, songs sang around the fire were kept in the minds and hearts of our ancestors, like still today in some tribes of Australia they can recount the histories, traditions and values and even the geographic terrain around and behind the mountains they live, in order to hunt and survive. So still today many traditions endure, like the folklore of Latin America nations, or Indian tribes, or also the American Irish musics and traditions, and each culture, each nation, each tribe has its own characteristic values and poems, glories and taboos, hopes and mystic fears which are not to be meddle with. Some could say that each recipe of moral code or survival set of skills can also evolve like the DNA of living organisms, with the evolution algorithm of replication - mutation and permutation - selection. Yet science comes more often in our minds, after we discover no airplane crashed with any angel seated in a cloud, that we question if angels still or ever existed. Or if God would exist, why then so many suffering on the Earth? For we discovered the intricacy of the composition of very atoms, yet by dismissing some old moral code, dressing codes, many - specially those in science and university related profession - have indulged in the forbidden fruits: prostitution, drug, and excess.. and then.. sometimes we find our selves valued by the grade of our GPA, but somewhat empty in our souls, depression, mental health problems skyrocket with our tech advancements in our society, for maybe some of us would need the “old gramma veggy soup” recipe, and her sound advice of wisdom, gained from ancient generation of old, passed from mother to daughter when they were separating the corn kernel from the stones, mashing the potatoes with cream, and listening also “hurry hurry, for your father and your brothers are almost coming for lunch”. But today, it is most often, not so.. fertility rates are almost negative, and families are scarce and few, dismantled by divorce, and too many reels one cellphone and tv shows, swipes on dating apps, that father and mother became just single parents, or solitary singles. So yes.. maybe technology can be somewhat retrograde, like some enchanted non-scientific, almost agricultural traditions and recitated poems would say, like I heard once “when science increases, love gets colder” which nor scriptural nor traditional, maybe a mutated and HI (human intelligent) enhanced guide line, or even GI (God’s Intelligence) enhanced and approved model guide line. But whether God exists or no - we leave this big subject to latter on - the truth is that, our set of survival and moral rules - our present configuration of traditions, values, marriage importance, and old approved veggie soups - ou human operational system (HOS), can indeed be beneficial or not to our survival. For people in the past would learn with others mistake, with gossip and so feared SCANDAL…! that if someone would try to run a chariot with a donkey and a bull side-by-side, would not need to know physics, but by trial and error the tribe would learn some things, some important lessons. But today it seems the pitfall in the pathway fo people are not anymore seen: many are lost in substance abuse, promiscuity, in the violence and contamination of promiscuity and intolerance, that sometimes we would think that if we would disengage our selves from the cellphone app and its movies, we would not have to see but the suffering and destruction, and loneliness of those who did not engage in a productive activity, in a simple and honest marriage, in the warmth of a house who keeps sanctification, holiness and seeks the spiritual gifts, and can even exorcize the devil. For no.. maybe the girl was too rebellions, and didn’t take the time to help her mother at the kitchen, to separate the stones from the sweet, soft, benign corn kernel. Or maybe was the grandmother the rebellious, so she didn’t had the traditions to pass on to her daughter who now is on Tik Tok, learning to be used to the sin of immorality, drug use, crime, and violence. So yes, we may indeed need to reevaluate our values, and our ways of life. For if a flying saucers is faster and more dreaded than the gen 6 fighter jet, its must be made with recent, or future advancements, in stronger and lighter materials, higher acceleration and no-inercy potential, and magnetic fields generated by fusion reactors which can distort time and space. Yet if an Alien would stay 3 hours on the cellphone seeing drug or violence related reels, it would be like if his flying saucer would be made of bread. Yet maybe those who created these crafts, the Aliens, are only our future descendants, who aquired some cornel of our traditions, and deleted some apps we created from their mobiles. And maybe they have better mobiles also, and even better moral and dressing codes, which may have proven itself, in the scandal of the communal conversations, or in social-emotional simulators with optimization methods like the evolutionary algorithm, with AI enhanced optimization steps. And I can tell you that many of their moral code would be much rooted in the gospel, like “honor is suitable for the humble, but destruction comes after pride”. Yet there is much to learn in our society, and much work to do, to help those alone in an apartment, without a spouse, without a grandmother, with only an app showing evil tiding, the bait of destruction, and no book nor recall of an ancient song, or a good old gramma veggy soup which can warm the stomach, and if the gramma is near by, also the heart. And if we can help this lonely society of ours, detached from reality, our present mountains and abyss, with our healthy HOS (Human Operational System), we may just be doing like Jesus said “Give and it will be given to you, for with the measure you serve you shall be served also.” And this is the pure reality many of us so desperately need.
