"Ideas in Prescriptive Social Ufology": A good start to adapt to the NHI presence is to promote the love of truth.
How do we collectively adapt in an intelligent and socially coherent manner to the worldview challenges posed by NHI? Reasoning and organizing capacity are blinded by stupidity. Stupidity includes holding on to maladaptive responses. Stupidity often originates when the amplitude with which individual consciousness can interpret and incorporate objects of experience related to a particular level of reality doesn’t match that level of reality. When this happens, stupid interpretations usually occur. We hold on to old, more comfortable - but inadequate - interpretations that do not fit a more expansive reality.
Feelings are involved and these usually trump over logic, reasons, facts, and evidence. However, if we have learned (or have taught ourselves) to value (and even love) truth, this is associated with more sublime feelings moving our conscience so we can also move beyond our preferences related to our current amplitude of consciousness respective a challenging phenomenon.
Thus, upon being exposed to extraordinary new facts, for the sake of that love (that can become a sentiment that overrides those associated with closed-mindedness), we will voluntarily try to overcome our biases, and our partially appropriate or inappropriate (or even completely false) doctrines and worldviews.
The love of truth (even if not ultimate but with a serious attempt to approximate better explanations) can and should be taught as a cultural good. Then, most likely, we will come to collectively discard less appropriate explanations, refine and improve other explanations and agree more coherently worldwide.
For humanity to come together under the UAP NHI challenge, elements of conservative and progressive beliefs; different interpretations, explanations can be kept, discarded, improved, and combined/integrated under underlying or shared meta patterns.
For humanity to come together more coherently, the self-contradicting philosophy of “absolutist relativism” (associated with cynicism and nihilism and selfish material and individualistic pursuits as a dominant shared value) has to give way to a new integrative way of appreciating and carefully combining (in fact, integrating) multiple approximations to truth, not in a boring way but with interest and passion.
The love of truth as a sacred and adaptive value can first be whispered…suggested in comments and casual conversations, here and there (even in academic circles), rather than quickly imposed. It is an idea that could catch and disseminate. It may become a way to shift into the frame of mind of spiritually and ethically wanting to re-consider our belief systems, even absolutist, dogmatic ones.
And the sense of the Sacred, our personal relationship with the Sacred doesn’t have to go away.
Better approximations to truth are likely to remain compatible with the core beliefs and reasonings in religions that today seem to be (above all, exoterically) incompatible. (Giorgio Piacenza) 🤔🤯😉
