Life is a series of slips and catches. A social order kept in check individually through fear of repercussions after actions. You shall not kill, you shall not steal... First religion was our maker to be worshiped. Be selfless in this life and be rewarded in the next progression of the soul. A destination being heaven instead of purgatory or hell. The Philosophy of karma, a more open ended form of Saint Peters gates. A power greater then the self still, but the option of choice is within each of us. Cultures of the world have all had a different face of this omnipotent equilibrium in life. If the balance is disrupted, action is taken upon the wrong doer. Woven along side religion are laws to further extend a social order.
Religion is evolving to tolerate science. The balance is swayed in a multitude of directions. The ideal of religion is passive as anomalies increase. The oppressive hands of religion are lifted in this age of technology. As the human being becomes more and more defined in science; idols of the past are lost. The self emerges, but only so far. Instead of omnipotent outside forces to puppeteer our social order, it is social beings within a culture that evolve a new right and wrong. But behind all of this social order and personality, the internal dialogue runs continuous. The inbred spectrum of right and wrong evolves as our "born guilty" conscious fades into want.
Polls envelope that ~91% of Americans believe in a universal spirit. An omnipotent figure is still our commander in chief in The sense. The fire in brim stone fears are gone for what reason then? The ideal of God is somehow taken less serious by the social masses. Everyone breaks laws of some form within a life time-countless choices everyday to do so or not. Justified or not. History shows that God does not cast lightening bolts upon wrong doers. The traditional miracle is few and far between in most eyes. Religion has taken a back seat-navigator is in the back making a sandwich, a seat belt tied around the wheel is driving-
-cruise control engaged.
Context of life evolving has been our seat belt at the wheel. Growing as a culture we are surrounded with life of all sorts and saviors. The booming economic -ism of consumers. Human desires are felt and acted on. Desires are in excess all around us-wanting sweet without the calories, introducing sucralose! Modified to satisfy our needs. With this power of manipulation comes the scientific option of turning towards the body. Growth hormone of the tubestick and accompanied mushroom head-
-all natural.
The difficulty in this course of action, the cup is indefinitely half empty. The majority of these desires play directly parallel with the ego. Here in lies our moral code
-I want, everyone wants.
The nanoworld is one where all our wildest fantasies come true. An unmatched possibility of individuality. The depth of scale change would be the magnitude of human ability to evolve rapidly. The change that will be is beyond my present comprehension. All of our lives increasing in every way by a multitude of ten to the power of nine! The fox will run wild in the hen house. Increase, more, better, faster, stronger-tantalus cravings of the underworld revealed and touched. Leading on to addition and multiplication of greatness-never divisible, never subtracted.
Now comes the greatest of options in life. Living for the self, or living for love. The blanket of technology is an illusion of necessity-humanity learned to knit rather quickly. Within the life of all possibility leads on to want. If it is possible do it! A pandemic ego gets stoked riding along a ghostly wave of satisfaction. The higher power is now you and I in this octane life. Every responsibility is our own-some would be avoided with this technology, others amplified. As nano technologies replace so much of what we take for granted-where will our time go? Into anything we want-
-that want is what frightens me, a trust in humanity to choose.
