rationality-vs-supernatural

In this chapter, Ruiz-Sanchez presents a detailed analysis of the Lithian society, arguing that their ethical behavior and social structure are extraordinarily harmonious and devoid of deviancy, which he finds mathematically improbable given their independence from Earth. He grapples with the implications of their existence, suggesting that the Lithians exemplify a moral code that humanity struggles to achieve, raising questions about the nature of ethics and the possibility of a higher order of existence.
