Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. I have been observing the Earth since mankind first walked erect and used its first weapon. I am not human and do not take a human form. Eons ago, in Earth time, my species left behind our corporeal form and freed ourselves to roam the universe. I was sent here to observe and report on the evolution of the beings that inhabit this planet. I have recently again reported back on my observations. Set out below is a summary of that report, re-interpreted into English for human understanding. My fuller observations are set out in the book itself."The inhabitants are still in a large chemical carbon and water form that gain energy by ingestion of biological products. They live only about 80 Earth years and a good part of that is occupied as a dependent infant and as a dependent geriatric. They still reproduce by gendered sexual means.They have progressed to an early stage of technological advancement. They have made early steps in space exploration, mainly by automated spacecraft. Their first attempts have left the solar system. They are developing a curiosity about their place in the universe.They have used their technologies to take their planet to the brink of destruction. They produce primitive nuclear bombs that can destroy all life on Earth. They pollute their environment even though they can meet their energy needs using less destructive means. Their tribal conflicts, even at this stage of their evolution doom billions to a life of subsistence, starvation and death, principally driven by the need of select few to impose their will on the population. They seek self-identity by the accumulation of power over their fellow humans, and the accumulation of resources that they have no need for. They retain their primitive desire to worship an all powerful deity, that ostensibly sets their path through their short lives, and fails to recognise this is simply a construct that concentrates control in the select few, invariably to the detriment of their population.The male of the species wreaks destruction on their society, by pointless aggressive acts of military, economic and environmental kind. They have abundant resources to maintain their society but choose to concentrate them amongst select tribes, while other tribes go without. The dominant tribes watch with detachment while their social structures and coherence are destroyed, seemingly without realising the inevitable consequences of this.Humans treat the other species on the Earth as mere 'things' for humans to do with as they please.It remains unclear if the inhabitants of Earth will progress further along the evolutionary path. They are at a turning point, where any small misstep may result in the end of their race or the complete destruction of their planet. The outcome, at this point is unclear.We will need to carefully monitor the planet for the foreseeable future and prepare for the likelihood of an urgent intervention.Albert of the Earth."

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This is my further report on problems unfolding on the Earth and the ethical issues it has raised for our universal community. Divergent opinions have arisen over whether we should intervene in the development of humans to prevent their extinction, and if so, to what extent. Or should we leave them to continue down their chosen path to their inevitable extinction?Our existing policy of non-intervention until a primitive species is on the cusp of taking their place amongst the cosmic communities, both technologically and ethically, has generally worked. However, there have been some failures leading to the extinction of some species that had enormous potential. We have asked ourselves, "What if we had intervened in some small but significant way to save these species? What have we all lost in the loss of each of these species?"We were confronted with this same choice with the pending extinction of humans on the Earth. Humans have both good and bad qualities. Their technological development had progressed in an expected manner, but their ethical evolution was retarded. They retained the same primitive survival instincts and behaviours that they developed from the time they first walked erect and formed social structures. They have retained the same primitive psychological drivers that first motived their urges for sexual reproduction. They compete with each other for irrational reasons when cooperation would advance them all. They deceive and kill each other in the pursuit of social status and the accumulation of resources when there is ample for all.In the face of the certain annihilation of the Earth and all upon it by the approaching black hole in only 300 Earth years, we decided on a limited intervention in which, for the short period of 30 Earth years, we actively intervene to suppress their capacity, but not their motivation, for violence. We engineered a temporary model social structure and governance for them which would benefit all humans, and gave them a chance to develop the capacity to move humans and other species to a new Earth.In those 30 years, humans made rapid progress and there was hope for their future. But at the end of that period, when we lifted the suppression on violent behaviour, humans equally rapidly regressed to their former violent and primitive ethical and social regimes.Our intervention had two goals. We were hoping that our limited intervention would allow humanity to save itself, and that it would also inform our views about the extent that we should intervene in other species' development. We hoped this experiment might assist us in assessing when a species' evolutionary path might be altered, and which species we should leave to their own chosen fate. Our intervention failed on both goals. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This is my final report about the now extinct human species, although many former humans now live with us in the energymanifold.It is a report on the simulations we have carried out to testthe likely outcome had we intervened more directly andovertly in human affairs rather than leaving them to maketheir own choices on their own future, which turned out tobe a disaster.Our intervention involves major ethical issues which remainrelevant to how we deal with other evolving species onother planets.
