Technology is an extended frame, into conscious processes we've used up in our evolution of survival techniques through the ages, incorporating these into cultures to form customs... And now we perform them dogmatically, sub-consciously knowing there's something wrong with it, yet engaging in it because of some vague, cryptic social connotation.
I have no problem with technology, but the thing is people always find a way of turning any facet of technology into something barbaric or destructive. Like NASA’s employed more into military research, than actual space research. Like cameras improving how we view life, the same things are subsequently used for spying on people and legislating totalitarianism. Like cavemen used rocks with polished edges tied to long carved pieces of wood to spear other moving things larger than themselces, to fill up their tiny appetites; comparatively, to the size of the animal. We have this aversion reserved in doing something genuinely helpful or important, ending up feeding our irrational impulses before skeptically analyzing them first.
Imagine, for instance, every one fixed with these biological earphones that work like radios, tuned into a music system via Bluetooth or something, especially at parties, so you're cut out of reality in terms of sound, but hear the music clearly and watch the rest of the party in a sort of musical trance. Seems interesting an idea to me, that's all. Now, if it does work, fine. Not an amazing benefit, really.
Now, here's what it could be used for...
Governments can tune in as one of the stations, and electronically jam the tuning scroll, and play you certain concepts. And if you keep hearing this on and on, you start to believe that these are your own thoughts. An apathetic, crude form of Brain-washing, but clearly, theoretically and practically possible...
Nuclear energy can be used to power up the world for centuries with minimal amounts, but we use it in defense. We have the technology to create outstanding electric cars, but we choose to stay with oil and pollute the earth.
We're the dumbest semi-intelligent life the Universe has ever created.
I wonder, if these people who thought god exists, ever got asked the question "so who created god?". If they say God again, well, here's a thought. We know about Nano-materials and Atoms and such, that join together to create life, thereby making smaller and larger organisms than us. So what if each of us were individual gods? I mean, there are plenty of microbial organisms living in us, just like they do in cheese. So, what if every time we sneeze, 10 billion tiny organisms, get sucked into what they might call the white, soft rectangle to get crushed into non-existence, while the survivors would call it the Plague of Whiteness, and claim to think that it means that's when the god was angry, meaning us, of course. In the same way we couldn't care less about those living organisms living on us, why doesn't god go through that same motion every billions years, say, wiping us off into death and oblivion, when god decides to have his celestial shower every few eons? Or kill a few of us in a massive earthquake, because god needed a scratch?
This isn't even my analogy, it's theirs. I'm not suggesting stupidity, I'm just going along with the story...
We deserve salvation, sure.... This whole nonsense of repeating we're special beings, takes a strange twist, when we look anything up in history and find how we've consecutively, but regularly, fucked-up... Sure, advanced brains... We deserve to be hunted or uprooted, if intelligent design was about justice... //
