Progress for its own sake seems more harmful than beneficial...
Never in history (human history, at least
) have so many radical changes been introduced so rapidly....
It seems that each year our world (global society) has a new technology/ ideology thrust upon it...
As a child I was told that even minor changes to an ecosystem can have far ranging consequences...
Or perhaps I am just an iconoclast...
You an iconoclast is not necessarily a bad thing... To dissect for clarification of knowledge is prudent really...So much to absorb anymore we all probably need to embrace “iconoclasm“.. Vetting much the same and yet few feel it important..
I agree with you about the pace of change.. Given the technology we now have and will enhance into the future we simply can not keep up with the changing pace...Nor handle it safely!!! Wars an example, boots on the ground a thing of the past. Cyber attacks, hitting our electrical grid, hitting our nuc sites etc is the new elements being perfected....
Its a scary element of progress and in the wrong hands should be our first concern!!
We are gaining more knowledge and have not a clue how to sbsorb it in a positive light vs what all Government wants it for ~~ to control...
