AbridgingInfinity,
I think you got me wrong if you think I'm against engineering, science or development for any matters. I'm from sciences myself and actually an engineer and I do not complaint about it, thus I feel some parts of science are corrupted under capitalism, such as the only seek for profit and the capitalist quote of "money is the fuel of invention". The proof it ain't so is that during cold war communist Russians develop and invent almost as much as Americans. But that is for another discussion.
I do not say people in the future up to 500 years, but to when the current generation gets old since ALL mistakes you commit now will reflect on the future and a society of individualist compulsive consumerists commits far too many mistakes; the next ones I'm pretty unaware of what they'll do or do not. |
