Why advancing technology will destroy the lives we lead

you could always look up how to do those things on a smart phone..

 

Truth is called many things, most often pretentious and limited in scope. But that never detours from the fact that the truth remains the truth. And despite attempts to argue otherwise; It remains solid in its validity. Truth can be best seen by catastrophic impact that is left behind when it is absent.

To this extent people with an addiction to something; be it a substance, behaviour or paradigme... Often attempt to negate the truth with such arguments that attempt to label the truth as being subjetive and/or relative.

Anything that lacks morals and ethics is perversion and serves only the immoral. A dichotomy that has no moral or ethical principal as its foundation is a force of manipulation. Technology demonstrates this attribute because when it is created, human society begins to mold itself to the technology.

Whereas a hammer and nails have craftsmanship and human expression as the reasons of their creation. They do not manipulate society so that it molds itself them.

Which is why a hammer has done more to relieve human suffering, bring food and water and education to the unfortunate... Than any computer screen dependant gadget ever will.

 

Even if I agree with your statement here, I think it would be unfair to claim a knowledge of "the truth" I think the truth here is neither you nor I know what the fuck we are talking about, we just have our opinions on the topic.

I think it's valid for you to think a hammer grants more warrant to human progress than a computer. But if you're so against technology, why do live by it? No one made you buy this computer and use it. Certainly society provides an easier life to do so than any alternative, but it's still your decision.

I can't tell if you're taking this from a religious perspective with ethics and morals. But either way I can dismiss that theory right here where you say "Anything that lacks morals and ethics is perversion and serves only the immoral." what about the fruit of life? What about the animals? What about water?

I still think think the perversion comes only from humans, and is irrelevant to anything else. I don't think there's anything wrong with a hammer, but it can certainly be used for wrong.

There comes a point in time when the truth becomes so self evident that only the most foolish or the most immoral continue to deny it.

The truth of the matter is

• There is more plastic than life in the oceans.
• More people die each year of diarhea than they do from disease
• War has become a end unto itself.
• The sum total of human skills have declined for the first time in the history of our species.
• Our food is tainted with poisons
• Most of the species on this planet are in decline with mass extinctions at an alarming rate due to toxins

And the list is long... very very long... And I'm certain you are more then capable of adding to it.

Such things are not a matter of opinion. They are a statements of fact and their underlying causes are equally factual and known. The only thing left is to acknowledge them.

When any man turns to the very medium that keeps the majority of people living in denial and attempts to illuminate the situation so that others can see and join him in light.

It's an act of desperation and not of hypocrisy and definitely not of religion.

Those of us who stand against technology are like the animals of the sea that have no choice but to live in plastic and garbage. Sadly for these poor creatures the only option they have is to die.. to go quietly into the night. But for men there is also the choice refusing to go quietly. However if anyone continues to choose to live in denial after they have been told the truth. Then they have chosen to go quietly into the night.. they have choosen to accept their fate.. They have choosen to commit a crime of complacency.

Denile is a characteristic of religious fanaticism, patriotism and addiction. Whereas the truth is independant of these things and requires no acknowledgment or debate..... It simply is.

The only question that remains is if MEN will acknowledged the truth or deny it. Because either way the truth continues.

 

When? I want an example

Bullshit

• plastic vs sea life.
  First off, how do you calculate this, what is 1 fish to 1 plastic? That doesn't compute, yes there is a problem with plastic, funny quote I saw somewhere about how it's easier to produce plastic utensils and ship them all over the world than wash a spoon or fork. I agree with the issue, not with the stats.
• Disease is the largest factor by far, by putting all deaths to a scale of 100, diarrhea covers up 3% of deaths. Cardiovascular disease alone encompasses 29% of deaths. Out of the whole list, this point made the least sense to me.
  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_causes_of_death_by_rate)
• war has become the end of war? Again confused with the point
• again how do you calculate the sum total of human skills? Certainly has increased if anything
• Our food is tainted with poisons, if you choose to eat poison. There are many farms that grow all natural food, a vegan life style is easier now than ever before
• death of species I Agree with, in fact that is fact, but is it inevitable? Is it fate?

That's rich, you can somehow individually put yourself above all religion, hell all humanity by claiming a knowledge to the truth. Got news for you buddy, a lot of people think the same way with different perspectives, and that's the cause of war

 

Life is short and these days I don't talk (or type) just to entertain others.

You see what you want to see. So if you want to be in denile then you can relieve your boredom on the back of someone else.

 

Alright, whatever floats your boat..

I just don't like people posting inaccurate information as facts, past that list nice conversation.

Even though I disagree with you on some ideals, still wish you peace and love

 

I don't post inaccurate information and I'm not going to let you claim victory in some imaginary debate that occured only in your mind.

The problem is you just don't want to look. You would rather play a game of words to relieve boredom.

 

Whatever, believe what you will man, you can think or say what you want, but the world keeps spinning

 

CIA Chief: We’ll Spy on You Through Your Dishwasher


http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/03/petraeus-tv-remote/

 

I knew there was a reason I didn't have a dishwasher...

 

The "establishement" has always been paranoid. So of course if they could turn a dishwasher into a spy... I'm sure they would.

 

Facts come with sources.

 

Henry Ford showed Walter Reuther(auto workers union head) some machines that took the place of humans. Said Reuther="How many Fords will the machines buy?" Anyone seen the shots of machines doing work on the assembly line? Used to be people. I know because I worked on that very line. Use the self check at super markets? I don't. People need jobs,not machines. The more humans can be replaced,the more money is made by those that will realise somewhere down the line that if people don't have jobs--their crap will sit on the shelf,as it were. Robots don't strike,are never late and do what used to be nice paying jobs for people, without complaint. What happens to the displaced? Who gives a shit as long as the top people are raking in the dough.

 

Right on!!!
Now sit back and watch my gadget addicted generation try and lecture you about progress, inovation and how an Iphone will ultimately lead to bringing clean water to Africa and the creation or a warp drive.

 

It really is interesting to an old fucker like me,to see person after person after person walking around staring at little machines. What could they possibly be talking about that's so important? How in the world did people get convinced that they need all this crap?(he asks rhetorically).

 

Because they're fucking stupid.

I went out with a much older gentleman last year. Wow what a difference to be with someone that wan't always "wired in."

 

I believe technology is a tool. A tool is a physical item used to achieve a goal. It is a matter of how we use this "tool" to our benefit.

We can complain how smart phones, tv's, and other technology are being used towards "Big Brother's" heinous premeditated acts or simply use these tools against them.

 

There is ALWAYS a CHOICE.
