 People use to say, "Errare Humanum Est", meaning, "it is in human
nature to make mistakes" or in a simpler form, "people make mistakes"--the first translation is the
closer to the original meaning. Note that the words are 2500 years old, and they were "implemented" in
our Civilization by the great Hellenic Culture.Now that we do know there are levels of intelligence in our society [read Articles 37, 38, and 39], it may be interesting to analyze how people understand the words in bold italic above. The Level 0 individuals are out of discussion from start, because they do not understand anything. The average intelligence people having a solid Level 5 of intelligence understand and use the words, "Errare Humanum Est," as an excuse for mistakes. In the same time, the average people hate deeply any mistakes--possibly more than anything else; this is a psychological characteristic--therefore, they do not appreciate those great, important words; they hate them! To a Level 10 intelligence, the mentioned words fit into a specific, strange pattern. For example, the following words were also implemented into our Civilization by the old Latin culture: atom, electron, analysis, system, structure, synthesis, democracy, humanity, person, radius, data, quantum, matrix, formula, antenna, nucleus, stimuli, Universe, Nebula, spectrum, corollary, vacuum, apparatus, automaton, etc. Of course, there are way more Latin or Greek origin words in English, but that is not the point. Note that the above set of words describes fairly accurate THE HIGHEST ACHIEVEMENTS IN SCIENCE TODAY! In other words, it is simply impossible those ancient philosophers knew the complete/total meaning of the above words, given their primitive level of Civilization. Better said, their level of Civilization should have been a lot less developed, because they were supposed to be primitive! We are talking here about 2500 years ago, and 2000 years before the Renaissance cultural revolution people! Something is not right there. To a Level 10 intelligence, the words "Errare Humanum Est" trigger an alarm bell: the corollary of the words sounds this way: "Only the inhuman (an apparatus, an automaton, a machine, or artificial intelligence) does not make mistakes." This is not just a simple misinterpretation, because the Hellenic philosophers were way more intelligent than we are today. If they wanted just an excuse for mistakes, it was far more appropriate to use an impersonal form; for example, "mistakes are unavoidable," or "mistakes will happen sooner or later." However, the stress in the above words is on the "human factor". Note that the antonym to human is "inhuman" or "machine"!  The question is, did the ancient philosophers know about machines? Yes, they did, because we
have discovered
they used mechanic machines, gears [the Antikythera mechanism], steam power, optic systems, unknown
[incredibly advanced]
chemical reactions, and hydraulics. However, the new thorny question is,
did the Hellenic scientists know MORE than
what we know they did? Given the above set of words, and their precise, specific meanings, it appears they did. It
is possible we will discover one day how advanced the Latin culture really was; for the time being, we should note
they were way too advanced for those primitive days.Now, the topics in Articles A37, A38, and A39 were presented from a moment-in-time perspective; in other words, static. There is, however, a certain, dynamic Global Picture associated to the topics. For example: |

That is the "dynamic aspect" of human interrelations, and it is presented above in the most basic (or simple) form: superior intelligence is amused by inferior intelligence, and inferior intelligence is angered by the superior one. That dynamic aspect has tremendous implications at society level. In a past Article we mentioned that around 1974 the development of our Civilization was shifted intentionally towards the wrong direction. One of the means to implement that terrible shift is the resume system we use today to nominate/appoint people in various jobs--of course, the important aspect are the "power positions", but the "system" works globally, for the entire society. The resume system works this way: regardless of how good or bad a resume is, it is the human factor, the interviewer, the one to decide. (The resume thing is frequently and commonly "tailored" for each specific job.) Further, the human factor tends to like/favor lower levels of intelligence, and to dislike/disfavor the superior ones. If you give it some time, say, few tens of years, then society becomes ruled/managed by low levels intelligence people; in other words, by corruption, imposture, nepotism, etc. In addition, the levels of morality, education, and justice will also degrade, since they are actively and permanently eroded by "the persons in charge". Lastly, the anger against high intelligence level persons becomes hate, and the few unfortunate existing intellectuals are labeled "enemies of the system". This is no joke, nor literary speculation: it is our reality! You may not feel it, but rest assured that some do--even dearly!  No doubt about it, the results are terrible for the entire society. The life of the individuals is little or not important--excepting few totally atypical individuals; intelligent people will always manage to make a living of some sort. For society, however, things go from bad to worse, until a cataclysmic social event/trend will change it radically. This is the way things worked throughout our history for few thousands years, and it appears to be very much like the random plays of chance to the average intelligence--read HURRAN INVASION for details. Sure, there are many means to correct the current degradation process: some are "normal", others are "exceptional". Let's take a look at our current political situation. Mr. George Walker Bush is elected the 43rd USA President in 2000 by the average USA society. Note that Mr. Bush was preferred to the alternative, Mr. Al Gore, although Mr. Gore is a mountain of humanity compared to Mr. Bush. Humanity and intelligence are one and the same thing; even more, one without the other cannot be defined as being anything. In 2004, Mr. Bush is reelected by the average USA citizens, and this time he is preferred to Mr. John Kerry who had few good levels of intelligence above Mr. Bush. Today, Mr. Bush is asking for help from anybody, because he does not know what to do, to do things right. He managed to ruin USA [well, almost], he started two totally useless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he had (involuntarily) killed few thousands USA soldiers plus few hundred thousands Iraqi citizens [children, ladies, and old people are included in the "lot"]. Note, however, that Mr. Bush was, and he still is, firmly convinced he did a lot of good to the USA, and to the entire planet! Meanwhile, the average USA citizens have finally understood they made two big mistakes, one after the other, and they want it over. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. In all pictures presented above there is something fundamental missing: intelligence! Without little intelligence, nothing is going to work today, or tomorrow. For example, the quick and obvious solution is to elect a Democrat President for the next term, but that solves exactly nothing. The problem in USA and anywhere else in the World is, high level intelligence is repelled systematically, while the under average intelligence people are encouraged to "compete". Of course, the under average intelligence people are always going to win any social competition because the human decisional factor favors them.  Well then, what is the future for us? Mr. Michel de Notredame told us. Our Civilization is close to a great change, as never before in history. Even more, that "change" is going to mark our future for about two thousand years from now on until ... *** First published on December 07, 2006 |
