1.     The ancient adage states the obvious, to wit: “The old know but cannot do. The young can do but don’t know!” The old (or wise, such as the religious or academics) offer formal, hence artificial intelligence guidance with their ‘proven’ (but mostly redundant in detail) social and personal survival strategies.

2.     The druid doesn’t offer formal advice since in his view ‘Everyone is god in their space,’ therefore knows what to do. He merely points to some significant observables, namely that ‘The best (or ‘fittest’) live better’ and ‘All return to cosmic dust.’  He (or she) encourages struggling, meaning underperforming individuals, and ‘who were all born winners!’, to activate and train their blind and automatic natural survival strategies to achieve their goal namely, to reach the top (thus transmission capacity) in any niche of they decide to assemble.

3.     An actual Life Unit’s (i.e. a deus ex machina) perspective (and applications) are the frills and whistles (solution) of the here and now. They are essentially transient and incidental (as the Buddha observed). But they amplify and vary the fundamental goal of universal self-assembly, namely the experience of ‘I AM!’  Therefore, contrary to the ancient Greek exhortation to “KNOW THY SELF”, the druid urges to “BE YOUR SELF.”  The druid’s perspective is the basics of the ubiquitous eternal operating system (a.k.a. the Universal Machine, as Dea Machina) that confines and arranges quantum excitations into cognizable chemical elements (or atoms) which after billions of years (or aeons) assemble into self-conscious life units.

4.     The druid is a fringe(-end)-of-life operator. One step away from death/eternity, his only experience is ‘NEAR DEATH’. From that perspective, namely ‘sub species aeternitatis’, consequently ‘sub species vanitatis’, his appreciation of life and its natural goal (Sanskrit: sat-chit-anantya) is the more intensive. Therefore, he encourages the lifeless (i.e. the ‘unfit’) to life, brief as it is. By contrast with other ‘life guides’, like religious, political and academic priests, the druid cognises that his own world is all but dead and that, therefore, the newly emerging human life units might be encouraged (against the dis-communicative AI training of their elders) to reshape their worlds (or activity niches) using their inborn natural survival resources. Thus, the druid’s simple message is: “Get the finger out. Get a grip!”

5.     An identifiable LIFE UNIT, such as the human mammal, has a life span of about 80 years, by human rather than cosmological measurement. It is then killed off by its DNA and replaced by another unit, initially unidentified (i.e. without a local address). Identity (i.e. as local address) is a by-product of artificial intelligence (meaning externally acquired data). Identity is not conserved. About every 80 years the entire population of the world, i.e. a generation or batch, currently about 8000 million human units, is killed off and replaced, thereby randomizing and so refreshing the procedure of random emergence (and so unpredictable evolution). Till now about 100 billion humans have been born and killed off. The human mammal replacement procedure is expected to continue for several million years and many thousands of human batches unless the latter pull the plug on themselves.
