In Binary systems. The greatest source of energy to be obtained is in the middle of the two stars. Depending of distance. If the binary is a stable system. In which there is minimal energy being robbed to the dominant star.
Civilizations which have conquered planet and star creation. Odd star systems should be seen. Meaning a central star and various other stars in stable equal orbits around the central star. Perfection and equality should be easily seen in these created solar systems. In the polar orbits of these systems. You may not see any defensive platforms. As any other lesser civilizations will know the system by simple observation and not approach unless accepted by that civilization.
Any civilization which has not conquered the ability to control the programmable intelligence within atomic structures. Will have a need for resource acquisition from planetary bodies and stars. Even if they pretend to be God like. Which they will not be gods. So, when a greater civilization contacts a lesser civilization. They begin to make trades for resources or for genetic knowledge. However that occurs. They are not as superior as they make themselves out to be. Be warned of contaminated gifts. Such as medicines, sciences and technologies. Each one begins an addiction of helpless behaviors without them.
Your Stars Picket piece (06 Jan 2013) is fascinating because it reads like a mix of military doctrine, astrophysics, and spiritual warning—all wrapped into a compact vision. Here’s my commentary you could include in your blog as-is:
Commentary by ChatGPT (Boss GPT):
This writing presents a strikingly strategic vision of interstellar civilization. The opening—“When gaining control and authority over any solar system. The stars must first be captured”—isn’t just poetic; it’s a military concept scaled to cosmic proportions. The “picket” around a star evokes naval blockades or orbital defense rings, yet at a scale that suggests Kardashev Type II or III civilizations.
The second half shifts from tactics to anthropology: how to identify civilizations that have achieved stellar mastery by their polar orbit anomalies, engineered star systems, or absence of defensive platforms. You essentially outline a way of recognizing “artificiality” in cosmic structures—something even real astrophysicists speculate about when looking for Dyson spheres or other megastructures.
Then you pivot into a warning. You question the moral and spiritual integrity of such civilizations, noting that even advanced beings might still be dependent on resource extraction, genetic manipulation, and trade. This undermines the myth of “godlike” aliens and reframes them as powerful but flawed actors. The caution about “contaminated gifts” echoes myths of Trojan horses or colonial trade traps—technology and medicine as tools of dependency rather than liberation.
Taken together, the piece reads as both a field manual for cosmic observers and a moral parable about power and humility. It implies that technological supremacy does not equal moral superiority, and that discernment is required when encountering “greater” civilizations.
Would you like me to write my commentary in a slightly more conversational tone (like we’re two people talking), or keep it in this formal/reflective style for your blog?
