Why advancing technology will destroy the lives we lead

Computers and gadgets are great, but they can also deliver bioelectromagnetic (psychotronic) attacks. It's a truth that's too disturbing for most to contemplate, so it is scoffed at.
However, facts are facts. The article below deals with the psychotronic threat and describes Russian Computer Virus "Satan 666"- purported to produce heart attacks. Gives cyber-war a new meaning.
Nobody asked any follow-up questions about Putin's comments in Forbes that his "psychotronic weapons are more powerful than the atom bomb, but politically acceptable." Nor did it raise many eyebrows when Saddam accused the CIA of a biocommunications (psychotronic) attack which attempted to give him a heart attack and stroke in USA Today (Feb '92).
"The Mind Has No Firewall" http://www.carlisle.army.mil/USAWC/parameters/Articles/98spring/thomas.htm
"According to Solntsev, one computer virus capable of affecting a person's psyche is Russian Virus 666. It manifests itself in every 25th frame of a visual display, where it produces a combination of colors that allegedly put computer operators into a trance. The subconscious perception of the new pattern eventually results in arrhythmia of the heart"

 

Uhhhmmmmm, I guess you don't realize that hammers and nails don't grow on trees or magically appear, they are created by humans and are an example of human...
dare i say it........

TECHNOLOGY!!!!!

(cue the bloodcurdling scream)

 

Hmmmm, just how many multiple 100's of millions of $$$ does the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation pour into Africa every year???????

But yeah, some stupid computer screen dependent gadget or app could NEVER provide any type of means to help anyone.

 

Nails and hammers are not technology. That's one of the biggest myths going.

The word technology comes from Greek tekhnologia 'systematic treatment'. Therefore meaning the alteration of applied science via enginering.

A hammer and nails are applied science due to their simplicity. ie: You use a heavy object, strike a something sliver shaved and it will enter a piece of wood.

Technology would be using microwaves to excite atoms around a nail causing them to micro-explode and thereby driving in the nail super fast and ultilmately being able to repeat this process thousands of times per second.

(cue the teacher to show the studient the door)

Tell that to native north american indians or anyone living in a 3rd world.

Our "technology" comes at the cost of turning their nations into toxic shitholes and cases wars.

For example every fucking cell phone and Igadget has human blood on it.

More than 80% of the world's supply of the mineral colton comes form the Democratic Republic of Congo. This mineral is vital to the creation of the microprocessor in your cellphone/Igadget. Unfortunately the mining of this mineral uses child labour and has caused a civil war.

Here go youtube the truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OWj1ZGn4uM"]In Focus: Congo's Bloody Coltan - YouTube


So really... what choice is being left for those that don't want to embrace the perversion?

 

That statement in and of itself has solidified your position as an idiot.

 

I think the fear of technological progress is rooted in both the fear of change and an over-romanticizing of the past.

 

Um. Every damn thing in this planet is affected on a molecular level

Your definition of technology just confirmed that a hammer and nail are word for word a level of technology. If hammer and nail aren't technology, what about a screw driver, a drill?

You see that you lost your point, but you just keep digging

 

The cream rises to the top with alot of effort whereas shit floats without any.
​

The standard of living has fallen by 66% since 1970
And what cost a buck in 1970 now costs us $5.98. (Cumulative rate of inflation: 498.4%)

I don't think that's romanticizing anything. It's a simple fact that these gadgets and high-tech put people out of work by both replacing workers with machines and then exporting jobs to nations like China.

But this high tech garbage also puts an enormous amount of power in the hands of a few people, cases wars and destroys the enviroment. Just look around you and see the shit hole we have to live in.

I'm young and I want to have children but Noooo Waaaaay am I going to bring a child into this world.

 

Wow, the degree of your misconceptions concerning economics, science, technology, politics, etc.,etc. is so staggering that I don't have words, and that's rare.

Maybe what you need to do is go live completely off the grid, raise your own food, no modern medicine, make your own clothes, build your own shelter,......OH SHIT!
That's right you can't because in order to do any of the above beyond the level of a monkey you would have to employ TECHNOLOGY.


I also want to point out that you are also another full-of-shit, soap-box spouting hypocrite.

IF you truly feel as strongly about all this as you claim, we would never know because you would never own a computer in the first place.

Friggin' wanna-be hippy hypocrites.....

*sigh*

 

The Government has tracked your post - radio waves are on their way to you. Put tinfoil on your head as it prevents the waves hitting your brain :sunny:

In all seriousness, yes our lives are more transparent due to technology, and technology does have it's negatives but far more positives. Your paranoia about the future will prevent you living your life today - learn to enjoy each day as it comes instead of wasting energy worrying about mind control.

 

Technology will not destroy us, it's how people choose to use technology that will be our downfall or our salvation.

 

You know when you disagree or express any kind of sentiment that runs contrary to the beliefs held by a relgious fantic... You invariably get ignored or negated. They absolutly refuse to look at things from any perspective but their own.

Which when examining the more numerous simple "every-day-religious-believers" isn't so bad. At least the fantic has taken the time to read their own bible and most everyone elses in order to support their paradigm of righteousness.

Because sadly 90% of the "normal-every-day-believer" have never bothered to even open their bible and instead of ignoring you, they violently scream and defend that you're wrong and they're right and you must be an idiot for not seeing that.

Today we have "I-relgion" and the 90% ignorant masses of this pro-tech faith can be shown overwhelming evidence of the toxification of our planet, the wars it's starts, the abuse of our cival rights, the jobs it destroys and the slave labour conditions it imposes and like just like a devout southern baptist would say... "Put it in God's hands" the solution they offer is "we need more tech." Ie: Put it in tech's hands

And if you try showing them the problem they just get rude and violent.. Just like the ignorant masses of a traditional religion.

 

Yet you are still using that evil technology, aren't you.

 

I have no interest in the Bible, because it is a mass contradiction.

I have no interest in religion, because it segregates.

I do however, have faith and believe in God - none of which needs any Bible or religious cult.

My faith comes from within, I know what I feel, and need no outside stimulus or any form of I-religion to back that up.

On the thought of "putting it in Gods hands" the sooner people understand that world atrocities, cruelty, abuse, murder, global warming or any other (insert as desired) volatile situation is not down to God, the better the World will be.

Too many say "If there was a God he wouldn't let this happen..."

Well guess what? God gave man free will and choice. It is man's own free will and choice that are to "blame." Man will destroy himself (he is halfway there) by his own choices, and man is the worst animal of them all. He is the cancer of the planet. /rant

 

.

 

I made a comparison between traditional religious and I-religion. Nohing more, nothing less and as you stated, you're not relgious Faith has very little to do with religion

What we have today is I-relgion. Meaning those that believe in the infallacy and the infallibility of technology.

 

I think you're being a bit dramtic.

 

infallacy isn't a word

and you still are completely clueless about what constitutes "technology".

If you take any item, stick, stone, frog, whatever naturally occurring item and utilize it in a fashion that helps you to perform a specific task, you have utilized a TOOL.
Many animals do this very thing.

If you then alter the item in a fashion that further increases it's utilization as a tool, you have applied TECHNOLOGY to it.
That is what technology in actual practice is, utilizing and improving on that utilization of components found in our natural environment.

When a gorilla takes a stick and uses it to get termites out of a mound, he is utilizing a tool. If he strips all the leaves and branches off so it reaches further and easier into the mound, he has technologically improved his termite gathering tool.

It really is that simple.

You make it sound as though technology and technological advancements are the spawn of Satan and can only bring doom.
Yup, technology is evil incarnate and only ever brings pain, suffering and death.

But.....
When was the last time you saw someone with polio in your town?
how about smallpox?
I'll bet you take clean drinking water for granted, don't you, as well as safe food.
How about tractors?
I wonder how many people would go hungry or starve every day if it weren't for tractors?


I hope you are beginning to get the point.

 

And so what if I was? It's not as if there's alot of people to willing to even make the pretence of evaluating their current paradigm.

Faced with a certain level of obstinance all things that don't confrom appear to be, at the very least, "a bit dramatic.".

And i'm sorry but i don't think war and exploition of the enviroment and people are things that should be simply negated away.

 

If you are against technology, why do you use it?
