A0333: Why won’t aliens pass on technology to individuals that could represent progress?
We start by explaining what technology means in relation to the advancement of a species. When mankind had not yet entered the phase of the industrial revolution, the general progress was to be interpreted rather small by your current standards. After the industrial revolution, progress has accelerated and you now have technologies that you would describe as very advanced. Is that really how we should interpret it we ask? No, all of your technologies are not real progress in the sense of: A new technology invariably enriches mankind and old processes become better as a result. Because all of your new technology has only made your life more complicated and your old processes have been replaced by new, more complex processes, most of which are carried out by machines. No technology has actually made your life easier, everything just gets more hectic.
If you really want to develop technology that positively enriches people’s lives and simplifies the old complex processes, then you must first think about what these old complex processes are. If you do that, you will quickly see that almost all processes are useless because they could theoretically be replaced by very old procedures, but the person has become very comfortable so that the very old processes are rarely reactivated. When you start to lead a humble life, all hectic processes are removed from this life because each new technology from you is supposed to improve a technological process, but all new processes only make everything more complex. You have become downright addicted to your useless technological products because every new technology builds on an old complex technology and almost every new technology needs energy to run.
If extraterrestrial beings make a new technology available to you, then you will first have to forget all your old processes so that this meaningful new technology can also enrich humanity and not make your complex processes even more complex. If a person receives a new technology with which it would be possible for them to generate seemingly vast amounts of energy, then this useful technology will be integrated into your useless and complex processes and the added value would be much less than if all of humanity were in front of a technological one Change of heart is about to replace all old useless and complex processes with simple and meaningful technologies. When the official first contact is made, the extraterrestrial beings also start to equip you as humanity with meaningful new technology, so that after about a generation, your current products or processes are hardly available.
Everything will be better and easier, you will use technology sensibly and you will not start again to make everything more complex, that is then no longer necessary because everyone has everything they need for a carefree life. If you think about “Utopia” then such a system exists on many planets because the population does not have to focus on how to survive, but the population is free to do what they think is right. Many will just learn all their lives and others will provide their services for a social cause, but no one has to work like you do today, that would never be possible with the kind of technology you are currently developing. If you get meaningful technology, then only as a whole of humanity and that starts like everything else, with the official first contact.
