This is what thinking to much does to me. · 2:46am Feb 15th, 2012
Albert Einstein once said “Technological Progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.” He was right. Nearly everything we’ve ever built was later turned into a weapon or caused massive damage to the environment some how. (Green house gasses anyone?) How many men have abused technology and or power to pursue their dreams and goals at the cost of others? Thousands on the massive scale and billions if those not remembered by history are taken into account.Will we last forever from the strength technology offers us? Or will it lead to our downfall? Technology offers us strength, strength enables dominance, and dominance paves the way for abuse. I’d like to believe human decency will win out but it sometimes seems like the world begs to differ. Morality keeps us alive and is what even makes us human. When men sacrifice that to make things easer for themselves or to acquire something they deem important enough to step on other human beings to get it, what does that make us? It makes us animals with the power to destroy the world. Let us pray, that if the worst should happen we will be remembered by others that come after us for the good we tried to do. Will humanity live on or are we all just dust in the wind? No one knows the answer to that and I think that is what scares us the most.
Eeyup my sentiments exactly...only better worded and more deaper and explanitory
Like I said in the title my friend.(Atleast a little bit I hope) This is what happens when I think too deeply at a given time. I wouldn't be suprised if one of my ancestors was a philosopher.
