Report from Terra 98-7-755
This is reaching you by long-range spectroscopic signal because more efficient forms of communication are difficult, due to the unusual electro-magnetic interference at such extreme temperatures; There is no sort of Mind Integration here, although it is evident in their lesser life forms. Perhaps as Man is the sole dominant species, with virtually no communication with other life; he has never been aware of the possibility
This poses a legion of problems, but two in particular. Firstly, perceiving existence individually, he is incapable of any sure collective unanimity. Solutions or policies are only imposed by a very limited number of minds, thus entailing the virtual disregard or even enslavement, of weaker ones Secondly, In the absence of balance naturally found in Collective Consciousness, they continually fall prey to common incestuous, or self-serving fantasies. Most of these mirror the Cassawarian God idea. Giving obeisance to spirits who they insist offer them eternal life after death. This is curiously sustained by an odd concept called Faith, With this they infer truth not from the real world but from supernatural dictat. Astoundingly these ideas have immense influence
Can one imagine such desperate loneliness!
So there is great antagonism between groups and with no normal channel for dissipation, discord turns to disapproval then to hate, which can, and often does, create a killing hysteria between whole nations, not just individuals ! Such “Wars”.as they call them have been waged almost continuously through-out their entire history.
The population of Terra is remarkably high at 7 billion. In normal societies, we would expect the incidence of murder to be less than 100 minds a year, here it's half of one million ! Similar appalling statistics are confirmed in every type of aberrant behaviour we have investigated.
Though the introduction of M I requires nothing more than minor aural adjustment, and the technical problems are minimal; we are certain that there would be resistance from controlling groups. Particularly the religious ones who, would fight to the death against anything threatening there ideas.
This is an initial indication of the problems enveloping their development. Are such cancers surmountable in this astonishingly sad world. Can they survive without M I or can they accept it's introduction without an apocalyptic war ?. We know, without any doubt, exponential material/scientific advance can not be contained by zero or only tiny advances in intellectual wisdom . Significantly we have never found a more materially advanced race of this type. The similar problem of the less advanced Cassawar world is totally eclipsed here
Much serious urgent thought and study will be required.
