Think of the yin and yang symbol, with each step of progress within it is the capacity for that progress to cause greater regression.
Imagine if a 'portable' unlimited power source became available, great progress yet the regressive aspects that it would empower, would they overwhelm the progressive as nuclear has done, as fossil fuels continue to do?
A software upgrade for the human mind is what I am working on, our present one has a few cliches in it most people aren't even aware of.

Do any of you really think that in the present system you would be granted access to any real world changing technology? If a drug company invented a tablet that cured all illnesses and was cheap to buy, what would they do-sell it for a fair price and put themselves out of business, or bury it and keep selling the same old sh** for huge profits?
