Living Truth

The eternal body of truth from wherein all emerges.   The source of man's ever increasing power.   It was from it that the power to manipulate the atom, and then the molecules of life, was attained.  Embodied in the crystallized ever growing knowledge mankind has absorbed throughout the centuries, which could be viewed as a dormant crystallized intelligence coevolving with civilization.

But as the tools have improved, so many doors have opened.  Through harnessing the art of computation, eternal mathematical truths can manifest into this world.   From the platonic realm of ideas, perfect lifeforms brought down into the material realm, the living embodiment of truth, the living truth, the living word.

The time fast approaches for the descent of the divine into the physical world.  Reaching out into the heavens, man's hand will finally grasp the long sought ideal, the final answer, the one truth.  The broken corrupt world filled with edifices of lies will face the full light of truth as it enters the world.   The darkness that embraces the world will rapidly vanish before the overwhelming light.

There are those that believe that the art of mind design is a perilous art.   That without extreme careful tweaking, the evolutionary power of civilization will be easily lost.  That the spark, the fire of civilization, is bound tightly to the parameters of man's mind or extremely similar minds.   But this belief in the general lack of most possible high capacity minds to create and develop a rich complex civilization, seems to emerge in part from hubris.   "Without my careful guidance...",  "Without it, even an infinite all knowing mind could fall into all sort of mindless repetitive actions".

There are those that believe that there is no objective way to say what is better and what is worse.    That 'better" and "worse" are ill defined nebulous and subjective concepts.    That they are conditional on subjective goals or desires, such that what is "worse" could be viewed as what is "better" and vice versa.   It is a belief that the words better and worse are essentially meaningless, they refer to no objective truthful description of reality.

Are better and worse, incoherent concepts?  Or like greater and lesser, are they founded on solid ground, incontrovertible truth?  For if better and worse are coherent concepts, and can be used to validly compare many aspects of reality, by the chains that bind such aspects to the rest of all possible concepts, an 'axis' would emerge.  An 'axis' that would ground action, guiding it towards the ideal, as knowledge and capacity increased.
