Self Absorbed Stupid Species
It's a double edge sword from my understanding and tendencies. On many fronts technology has opened up our understanding, yet clearly as a species we just seem unable to use tech for our own advancement. The achievements that are taught to our young are measured in the very ways that are our undoing. Tech is used for comfort. Comfort is used for pacification. Pacification is used for control. We have actually passed the tipping point on so many lvls that the essence of what has been driving our technology now relys on tech to ease our discomfort whilst at that same time it expands our species in a space not meant to sustain so many.
The potential for tech to coexist with nature and enhance our living is great yet the reason most western consumer nations are not doing so, is more to do with their psych which I think is best summed up as a; 'Self Absorbed Stupid Species.'

Yes I include myself in this pic. None of us are left unaffected. Don't take it personally. Phones are at the top of the list. This topic of course highlights my favorite quote and led my to an interesting blog on the use of mobile phones:
Was Einstein right? Physicist once said he feared that technology would surpass human interaction?

I'm a sci/fi fan but not like any of those atypical books that are so easy to know what happens before you read. Take out all the warring factions, sex and like wise drama and what's left? Exactly ... not much left to the human imagination these days. Sci-Fi has become a bit of a joke. Sad but true as far as I can see. We seem less interested in thinking for ourselves and looking to technology for everything else!
Fact is we are being lied to ... our young one's are being lies to. (we are also being lead ... lead in a way that stops us from thinking for ourselves) Contrary to popular belief/indoctrination - there IS enough food in the world to feed everyone. (although lacking in substance and somewhat modified/adulterated) We have the technology to improve the food yet we do not ... only for the deserving few. We have the technology to ensure everyone has clean water and so on. Religion and politics ensures the walls stay up, keep us divided and dictates each individuals lvl of comfort according to it's system of measurement/values which if course is all kept inline using state of the art tech.
Alas they will on occasion do a homeless run, put out a world hunger add and so on ... just to be seen as doing the right thing. All that amounts to is a quick walk around the block handing our toxic food and telling the homeless all they need do is get a J-O-B ... as for the millions of famine photos ... it pretty much equates to the same thing all spun together with highly marketed techniques ... to keep peoples indoctrinated beliefs in check. They have wonderful tech for that. All that pretentious BS you watch on youtube ... they pretty much do the same thing. Be sure to like and subscribe now. Be honest ... we all lap it up. It shows in our comments. Love and light to you all ... lol the barrel effect D. We are trully a $@$!ed species getting sicker by the hour.
Another sales pitch of tech:
Whilst on one hand technology opened the flood gates of communications and brought together a wealth of cultures and knowledge (how romantic) that same tech is being used to take all their possessions not to mention exploit their resources and people. We have had the tech to go way beyond the moon and mars yet we have not? We have had the tech to completely heal this planet yet we continue to destroy it?
Another fact ... the idea of automation in a Utopian society is that we can pursue our more engaging interests. Ones that keep those happy chemicals flowing and let us coexist in a non violently society. Where we as individuals decide what it is that we would like to do ... not someone else telling us what we should do. Automation is something that we could not really do without given population we now have. There are many groups that would love nothing but to see those below them living automated lives doing mundane tasks for the rest of their lives. Individuals can mix and mingle so the psyc effects is not so much a side effect of automation but more to do with the system controlling the tech. Not the tech itself. Understanding that goes right to the snakes head. Listed below.
Politics, Religion, Nationalism, Patriotism AKA Power & Control ... As long as our technology is governed by these destructive groups/forces, we shall not only continue to breed one generation of idiots after the other - our species will soon be extinct and for however long it take to reach our end - billions and billions more will live very painful lives just so those above them can go out as comfortably as they can. Those groups will ensure it stays that way.
These deceptive forces rely on mall adjusted communities, sickness, disease and so forth ... it's what keeps their world and status spinning. The create the chaos that makes their world.
Thankfully there is another way - Disconnect! Reject your education and start unlearning. Keep your faith ... just change the focal point to something not so destructive.
