Your rants and replies are about comfort. You and others who share your ideas and ideals want to be comfortable. Sorry to break the news to you all,
but life in our universe is not comfortable, nor was it meant to be.
Every technological "advance" compels change, very much in the same way nature encodes change into our DNA. You can envision a society where "weak
DNA" is strained out of the mainstream of society, but you will never know what Nature is up to, what Nature intends by fits and starts, and would
eventually fail or succeed in producing. There is no monitoring system observant enough or security system secure enough to contain and prevent what
Nature intends. And if you think that producing "ideal" humans according to a blueprint that humans would draw up would be a solution -- if you are
so ignorant and stupid to believe that such humans would be able to predict and defend from any and all known and unknown diseases and threats -- it
doesn't matter how smart or dumb you are, the society you speak of will surely fail and die.
The human society you envision is fundamentally the society that we have today, except this society has built in safeguards. The one that you speak
of would have those safeguards removed. Contrary to popular belief, disease is necessary. Unease is necessary. Competition, hate it or love it, is
necessary. In short, anything in life that promotes change is necessary. Life is not about clever language, it is not about "winning" or "living
large", it is about being able to continue. And if you cannot see the faults of your premise, you should educate yourself to the level that you
would be able to understand those faults, because it is a system that would only ensure the doom of all who would participate.
Also, your little rant about too much this and too much that, is nothing but an expression of your inability to figure out and understand what bit
would be most important for
you. Having too much or too little amount to the same thing. No matter how much is available, you are going to
have to figure out what the important bits are. Every living thing meets this challenge.
Do you believe that the Internet is responsible for the flood of information? If you do, that's the wrong answer. The Internet has only made
some previously existing information more easily accessible. The Internet hardly approaches the representation of all there is to know.
Furthermore, there is not one bit of information that one encounters that did not previously exist. There is only but one way to limit access and
production of information, and your "utopia" would be ineffective to that challenge.
I will share another observation with you. Every time you post on an Internet forum, share in conversation with another or audience, read a book, eat
an orange, apple, or some other food, you lose a bit of your uniqueness. Between the orange and yourself, there is a welcome trade-off. The society
that you envision is an impossibility. Somehow a difference, however small, will grow to make all the difference in the world.
. See ya tomorrow. What time do we have to wake up?
