«The Final Appeal to Mankind» by Nicolai Levashov
Nevertheless, the CGO is aware that there has been an accelerated development of
intelligence by at least some individuals, and this consideration allows us to believe
that this Declaration is not hopeless. However, any agreement between mankind and
the Coalition can only be concluded after human beings have overcome their
reprehensible habits.

Owing to the primitive state of your logic, the CGO is forced to be skeptical of the
development of the human race in the following additional respects: your civilization’s
attitude to ward technology and your personal fear of death. The development of
technology in itself, is definitely a positive sign, which leads the CGO to favor the
human race as intelligent, but the idealization of technology, and your assigning it a
special role as the prime attribute of your civilization, is alarming to us. Historically,
when separate regions of the Earth lacked direct communication, the human race
developed haphazardly. It did achieve several experimental civilizations of different
types, some of which were approved by the CGO.
Regrettably, when direct contact between different cultures finally appeared in the
process of development and expansion, they could not coexist in peace. Crude,
primitive and, because of these qualities, more powerful civilizations usually
exterminated those that were more intelligent and humane, only to be exterminated, in
turn, by an even cruder force.
Unfortunately, a mechanistic civilization, the most primitive of all, dominates the
Earth at the present time. It encompasses the entire human race, keeps it under control,
and will not give a new civilization the chance to emerge. Only if the mechanistic
civilization self-destructs and man takes control into its own hands, will a new and
different civilization emerge: one that will be more conducive to the essential well-
being of the race.
The CGO hopes that this final Declaration, along with appropriate help from the
Coalition, will initiate that transformation provided mankind shows a sincere desire to
change. We wish, however, to point out that civilizations with centers in
Amuradgehapure, at the time of the First Declaration, and Tkaacetkoal, at the time of
the Second Declaration, were more attuned to the needs of the human race than your
contemporary mechanistic society.
As one of possible means of help, the CGO can provide the human race with detailed
descriptions of those civilizations, to be used as models for a new civilization. One of
our major criteria for judging a race as intelligent is where every member elevates
collective intelligence above all else. Consequently, man as an intelligent being must
prioritize the development of the collective racial intelligence. The functions of man
are as follows: harvest all information from previous generations, add whatever is
