Re: Absolute Vulnerability
So all you are saying is that we should develop technology to buzz of a possible future fly in order to make new things happen and new ways of thinking possible to mankind... ?
I found the article interesting though I dont comply to all of it, for instance. you left the moral part out of it. Like in the industrialisation time, where there some times then children earned in the factory more than they parents on the field.
You should also point out a japanease stile golf-thinking for example, to rationalise and legitimize some moralities in order to make it easier to be swalloved for the simple and not so rich. For the rich dont care anyhow as long they crops and dollars arent spoiled.
For all you want is peace in an orderly organised universe, like parents tell theyr children: "Clean up your room!" But as a cientist, you should know that there cant be a cure for the caos in the universe. The more you organise it, the more force will be spent to make new caos outside of your focus. Its still a good thought.

Ah such hybris!
Fear is no answer.
It will not protect us from the inevitability of the death of the human adventure.
Nor will acting on fear produce an iron-clad solution to the inevitable destruction of the earth.
We all die, and so will the the planet at some time in the future. If not sooner then, later.
The trick about living is to know that you are going to die, but still live as if that were not important.
Cancer has a way of concentrating the mind.
Since mine, not a single day goes by when I do not at some point confront the truth of my own mortality.
But never has that stopped me from relishing the time I have left.
