Molaskes: Paving and Leading the Way

Essays by Molaskes:The Most Intelligent and Wisest

A Philosophical Provocation
‌ When you read that somebody be the most intelligent and wisest being on Earth, what is your reaction? Do you automatically reject this claim as false, do you simply accept it as true, do you lean towards either of the two options but are not quite certain, or do you settle right in the middle and take an absolutely neutral ground, considering you do not have sufficient information to judge the claim? In all these cases, it could be interesting to analyze why you take that position. It could help you become even more self-aware, and might help you develop yourself further, your psychological self-governance as an entity of consciously, potentially intelligently, potentially wisely self-regulating cybernetic negentropy. Intelligence is just a word denoting a capacity to understand and solve problems. Greater intelligence simply means that there is a greater capacity to understand and solve problems. It does however not mean absolute power, being able to understand and solve each and every problem. One can have greater intelligence in some areas, and lower intelligence in other areas. The overall intelligence is just an estimate of the product of the quantity and quality of the heuristic knowledge and skills one has so far learned and/or developed, and that one can readily use. Even the most intelligent being on Earth will be very imperfect, will not understand each and every problem, and will not be able to solve each and every problem, will know only a fraction of what can be known, and in various areas will be less intelligent than sometimes even quite a large number of other beings on Earth. There will be always one who is, overall, the most intelligent of all. However, this merely relative fact says nothing about how intelligent that being is in absolute terms (they may just be the least daft amongst a world of idiots, or may be the pinnacle of a world of geniuses, or anything in between), by what minute or large margin they are more intelligent than the second-most intelligent being, or how intelligence is distributed amongst all other passively or actively "competing" beings. It also says nothing about any implications of that alleged fact, not even about any emotions linked to it. While a common assumption is that superiority of any kind must result in feelings of pride and entitlement, the most intelligent being might actually feel quite sad and sorry for the others, lonely and without really matching and understanding companionship, or obliged to contribute to the world and/or to increase as much as possible the intelligence of as many other beings as possible, or a mixture of some or all of that. Before we discuss whether Molaskes could actually be the most intelligent being on Earth, and why this really matters, let's look at wisdom in general. The word wisdom denotes a person that is perceived as being not merely quite intelligent, but also as very benevolent, additionally free from many or all common follies of their peers or mankind in general, and socially smart (not easily manipulated or exploited, and may manipulate others benevolently for higher good purposes), finally also very efficient in most things they do and say (seemingly little effort for sometimes impressively big results). A very common mistake is to assume age equals wisdom. While learning, making experiences, testing, practice, and development each take time, and thus with increasing age one can and should become more and more intelligent and also more and more wise, the many follies and faults of mankind (most of all laziness and vanity) prevent many from actually progressing by any significant degree. In fact, a goal that one does not work towards, that one does not actually strive for, will almost certainly never be reached. If you for instance do not intend to learn computer programming, and do not invest a lot of time and effort into it, you will certainly never wake up one morning and find you suddenly know it well. Likewise, if you do not actually strive for further and further increasing your intelligence, and do not put in lots of time and effort into strategically learning, developing, testing, and practising more and more as well as better and better heuristic knowledge and skills, you will hardly develop your intelligence much further. And the same with wisdom. If you do not actually strive for wisdom, you will hardly develop much of it. In that case one is lazily and foolishly waiting for chance to deal out free random upgrades. But that's not how reality and life work. Now let's talk about Molaskes, about mankind, and about you! Molaskes admires people who are better than him at something, and very often enjoys their displays of knowledge and/or skill, and is always eager to learn where he can manage it and where it makes strategic sense for his own life. Already at the age of 12, he was reading Eastern and Western philosophy, and decided upon long and deep reflection to follow a path of wisdom throughout his life. Already as a teenager and student, he refuted some top scientists, usually by finding yes-but opportunities they had overlooked. Over and over again, he has been able to solve highly complex scientific and technical problems within a few weeks to months that all expert companies around the world had been failing at for several years before. He achieves this by not using the standard recipes, but deeply analyzing, "feeling", the essence of the problem, learning and understanding the "grammar" of its domain, and systematically and pragmatically developing the one and only best solution. Molaskes has met a fair number of people (and studied many more) who are generally considered very intelligent, but who upon closer inspection only appear relatively good in a tiny band of the whole spectrum of human potential, while overall they are mediocre at best. Only a tiny portion of mankind today does not follow the severely limiting dogmas that are commonly believed, and thus taught and repeated over and over by society. While a division of labor is indeed a helpful strategy within a society, mankind has developed extremely unhealthy ideologies from it, which prevent all but very few individuals from fully developing their whole human potential. There is only one world, everything naturally is connected to many other things, and just a few steps connect actually everything with everything else, and we all have only one brain, and there is hardly any actual difference in our potentials. Most people still cling to ancient (religious) and/or modern ("genetics") legitimization lies of oppression whereby people be by birth meant to be superior or inferior, to be rulers or to be ruled, and so on, which leads them to react to statements such as "X is very intelligent" in rigid ways of envy, disapproval or rebellion, or on the contrary, of sheepish devotion or uncritical followership, instead of rather seeing it as a positive example that they should try to learn from as best as possible, and potentially even surpass one day. While most of mankind spends their "free time" with watching TV, playing computer games, board games, or sports (or even just watching sports), reading "literature", going to parties and on vacations, suffering in one of the many forms of relationship drama (loneliness, unhappy love, jealousy, gossip, ...), consuming drugs (alcohol, tobacco, coffee, ...) that distort their perception and cognition, and so on and on, Molaskes almost literally all the time is actively learning researching, and developing, and all that strategically planned, finding the best sources for each new field and reading each book, each manual quite literally cover to cover from the first to the last sentence, actually thinking about each sentence (very frequently pausing and sometimes rewinding video and audio sources), integrating all new information applying eclecticistic filtering, epistemological scrutiny and skepticism, and interdisciplinary interconnecting. Not to speak of how much time and energy a large portion of mankind wastes in wage slavery and other forms of working for money — instead of strategically developing ways to minimize (like for instance Molaskes) this grave loss of life time and energy, which also is mostly completely unnecessarsy, as very most work is not really positively productive in the real world but is only "necessary" for the money system itself and the structures of oppression that employ it. Molases so far has never met anybody, nor read about anybody, who even remotely has followed such a consistent path of cybernetically maximizing negentropy, who like him has a logically fully consistent understanding of the world and follows it incorruptedly consequentially. Therefore he must assume that he is in fact the most intelligent and wisest being on Earth, as long as he does not come across proof to the contrary. Of course he starts his children where he has arrived after decades of hard work, and is full of hope that they will surpass him greatly in due time. But likewise he hopes, and works hard towards this goal, that his example will represent just the average Joe of mankind's future, and that you, the reader, may already today be inspired by his example and follow it, ideally surpassing him yourself.
