Technology and Values

Post by RWStanding »

Technology and Values
Scientific and technological progress will bring us continued increase in real wealth far above levels of subsistence.
All we need for that to happen is a stable economy in this country, and in a major part of the world.
We may then find that everything to do with the environment and society, that are currently being depleted, will become of paramount importance for all future generations.
A rush for immediate maximum wealth on the present scale is utterly destructive, especially where this is magnified by increasing population. It is a failed government that has no effective control to stabilise population and to maintain a fully diverse environment With global social diversity between nations.

Technology also gives evil more tools by which to manifest.

Used to be the possessed crazies would grab a club, a rock, or a cutting tool.

Now the grab-bag is much bigger.

Life is the measure of evil, so to be pertinent to reality your example would be more like a new drill purposely boring through a knee cap.
