Humans have long traditions of hypothetical: realities, spirits, powers, gods, angels,
devils, forces, etc. - - - in terms of whic to explain, understand and deal with many
objective and reflexive realities; e.g.: storms, weather, climates, volcanoes, earthquakes, 
disasters, climate-changes, etc. Not all of the traditions are equally helpful, coherent,
authentic, verifiable, etc.

Such traditional and hypothetical realities have played central roles in cultures, religions,
wars, scholarship, sciences and technologies - - - with various degrees of helpfulness in 
various contexts and environments.

It is difficult to assess how helpful and successful such traditions have been - - - whenever
it has been a firm tradition to exclude from-consideration many actual human experiences based
upon the human senses of: sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell - - - in assessing the 
reality of hypothetical: spirits, powers, gods, angels, devils, forces, etc.  When the 
"realities" are said to be "totally-transcendent"  it is impossible to determine what, if any,
role they have played in our lives in ways which "transcend" our imaginations! Hypothetical
realities that are totally transcendent and cannot be confirmed apart from our imaginations
playing major roles - - - are no more reliable than our imaginaations!

Abstractions, concepts, descriptive-scientific-laws and throughly-proven-integrative-theories
--- are of a different class of realities than thos desribed above; even if we can not directly:
hear, see, feel, taste, smell, or touch them.  Modern cdivilizations are utterly dependent upon
scientists' understandings of the reliably desriptive laws of: Newton, Colombe, Faraday, Maxwell,
Einstein, Plank Schroedinger, Dirac, etc. - - - even though they cannot be direcdtly: seen, 
heard, felt, tasted, touched, or otherwise be encountered in natural settings.

However, the above Laws are not essentially helpful in Mitigating Our Own Alienative Conflicts;
because Alienative-Conflicts are Inherently-Reflexive-Aspects of Inhumane-Reflexive-Relationships
which do are not purely objective in nature; i.e., free of reflexive complications.

The above Scientifically-Descriptive-Laws describe Purely-Objective-Processes; not reflexive
processes which often have Alienative-Conflicts and Conditions-of-Alienation playing Central-
Roles in generating Tragic-Outcomes that the participants in them could not anticipate or
predict because of how they were alienated from each other and from Objective-Realities.

For the Whole-Crew of God's Astronomically-Tiny Space-Ship-Earth to survive with integrity
Inside-of-Tiny-Space-Ship-Earth - - - most of the members of the crew are going to have to 
come to terms with:

1. How Astronomically-Tiny-God's Space-Ship-Earth is within the Unimaginably-Vast-Cosmos.

2. The finite amounts of Highly-Coveted Material-Resources within God's-Tiny-Space-Ship-Earth.

3. How Astronomically-Isolated Space-Ship-Earth is from all Extra-Terrestrial Material-Resources.

4. The Unimaginable Energy-and-Material-Costs involved in Inter-Stellar-Space-Transportation.

5. The Unimaginable amounts of time required in all Inter-Stellar-Space-Transportation.

6. The Unimaginable strains on human relationships in all Inter-Stellar-Space-Transportation.

7. The Unimaginable Hazards to human lives in even just Inter-Planetary-Space-Transportation.

On the basis of what proven-reliable Reflexive-Descriptive-Laws - - - can we hope to mitigate
our own Alienative-Conflicts that underming our: health, integrity and cooperative efforts?

Alienative-Technologies and Alienative-technocrats cannot be trusted bo be the keys to success
in Mitigating-our-own-Alienative-Conflicts.  

True-Lovers can be Graciously-Helpful-in-Our-Mitigating-Our-Own-Alienative-Conflicts; but only
if   WE-LET-THEM  HELP-US  to Reliably-Let-Go of the Alienative-Life-Styles of: Domineering-
Bullies, Mobbing-Mobsters, Concentrators-of-Excessive-Power, Concentrators-of-Excessive-Wealth, 
Narrowly-Specialized-Technocrats, Purely-Objective-Scientists, and Purely-Objective-Engineers;
Letting-Go also of their incoherent collections of isolated and often mutually exclusive: ideals,
values, principles, virtues and preoccupations.

The Long-Term most-sustainable MEASURES of the Effectiveness-of any set of Security-Measures
- - - will be the LONG-TERM Net-Amounts-of and Pervasiveness-of each of the following Diverse-
Realities   within the Whole-Crew of  God's Astronomically-Tiny-Space-Ship-Earth:

Alienation		Resentment		Prejudice		Ignorance		Misunderstandings		

Confusion		Violence		Reconciliation	Cooperation		Colaboration	

Integrations	Integrities		Anger			Collusive Games of Mutual-Self-Deceptoion

Power-Concentrations			Wealth-Concentrations			Distributive-Justice

Resentment 		Appreciation	Thanks-Giving	Hospitality		Generosity
