It seems to me that one could break down the factors contributing to
technological development roughly as follows:

1. Economic
2. Social
3. Psychological
4. Environmmental

These factors could support or oppose the development of any
particular technology, at any particular time or place.

Furthermore, I suspect it might be possible to some extent to
control
some of these factors in order to faciliate or obstruct the
development of particular technologies at a particular time and
place.

Another interesting question is when, exactly, it might be desirable
to prevent the development of a particular technology, and when it
might be desirable to encourage it.

Man aspires to be God. That is perhaps the most fundamental message
of Judeo-Christianity.

Why are you so negative on this approach?

To an optimist a realist is negative. To a pessimist he's positive.
I'm merely pointing out that there is a up side and a down side to
every invention and gave you some examples.

God helps those that help themselves. Thank God I'm an atheist
so I'm not too interested in Judeo-Christian messages. Magic
mumbling in churches and synagogues, kissing arse, doesn't interest
me.
Man aspires to his own eternal existence, that's what being a god
is all about.

One could think that, but two can't. Theists lack imagination and
conviction.
Anyway, I'm writing from sci.physics so as far as I'm concerned
you are cross posting off topic material. Go preach elsewhere and
stay the *** away from my imaginative inventions, I don't need
any God-pilot plotting to suppress technology he doesn't like. Join
the Amish or something and go around in a horse and buggy, living
in your own little ideal world.
BTW, I snipped your material (unread) as you did mine.

Now, now, my arrogant, mindless "atheist" friend. I'm just trying to
provide some real world context to your fascist fantasies. Don't get
all traumatized. You're the one who's trying to suppress things here,
not me. These points are relevant to physics and physicists, whether
you like that idea or not.
============================

You don't seem to be properly plonked...
Oh, I see, you were jkraus_1999 and you've changed
your name. Never mind, there are other ways... but let's have some
more fun, mindless fascist fuckhead.
I admit to arrogance, ***-for-brains, but not to believing the mindless
crap you spew about your god (which you choose to redefine from the
norm and say is belief in limitless possibilities).
Whether you know it or not, science is the observation, investigation
and explanation of NATURAL phenomena, not your supernatural
limitless possibilities.
"sci." physics refers to science, not your warped imagination
which you've only borrowed anyway, gods were thought of long
before you came up with the crank idea. It is in no way relevant
to physics, you fucking lunatic. Now I gave you my take on the
wheel for your benefit, I have no interest in continuing any further
discussion with an imbecile. *** off.
