Loss of humility

Ribofunk leads on to a world where all will be known of our race at some future point.

"We learn today as much in one year as its earliest discoverer did in ten years. Where is it going to lead us? How many more generations of present-day taught philosophers are to come and go before this persistently questioning human mind of ours will have laid before us a complete revolutional and unconditional demonstration of this, the supreme problem of existence? Can anyone doubt that the question will be eventually solved?" BJ Palmer

A maximum of elevated human potential would be reached. In no way are we ready for that. With the world squabbling and divergent as it seems at times-why would the power of gods be placed in the opportunity for the highest bidder. Gods would die. The secrets of the world would no longer be secret. Without myth there is a loss of wonder. A finality of being may be too great to undertake-religions provide a sense of being greater then the self. The outspoken Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura speaks; "Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business." Yes, but the necessity of its role in every civilization of mankind is historically supported. In the history of the human race, no civilization has lasted without religion. The last attempt being The Soviet Union.

So many perks come with technology. And what is not to love about perks! The technology evolves and the financially supported world progresses with it. Standards of living increase, education is accessible to all. Perhaps all information will simply be a download in the future. The class bullies will have a faster connection then you, the bad asses will disable their firewalls. The cycles will repeat in this new medium that is beyond moral control. The bearers of these sought after technologies will beget such a wealth that products would be exclusive. Cycles will repeat once again, powers will change-back in control FOR the people. What if communism, socialism, or new "isms" not yet in human awareness. More lines drawn and barriers. Up in arms.

So what is to be done? Nothing can stop this. But all in all a perspective can be kept. A mentor once called this the innate "crap detector". Fitting. A sense of enough must be understood. Perfection has created us-we are perfect as is. All is a process and technology in the fringe extremes halts this process to no longer being a privilege. The perks are not real past a comfort. They are as solid as we make them-a cultural flare resulting from an economic boom leading to bust. And when bust happens, up in arms once again. Cause and affect, right and wrong, all preeminent to a divergence in human kind. The perks of comfort will be the new norm in time. Expanding further and further from historical evolution-leading on to a new end. But we always were leading to an end so whats the difference of indulging in the ambrosia qualities? Story of Tantalus fits nicely here; never being able to reach the splendors desired-always moving just a bit out of reach. But God knows we try! Or at least science knows-
