RE: #Discussion Time - The Quantum & The Lotus - Quote #1
Interesting, so from your perspective a person's guilt is tied to their intent. So as long as their intent is good, the new knowledge should be uncovered? Einstein for example and the hydrogen bomb. He clearly had good intent but the knowledge that he brought to the world can also be what destroys it.
Should that knowledge have been sought after in the first place? Would it have been if spirituality/personal transformation was the primary focus?
Is it worth stopping unspeakable evil in this moment if you unleash something that could end all of life in the future?
You bring up a good point, but I don’t think we should halt scientific discovery or curiosity simply because it could be used for evil. Once we start going down that line of reasoning, I think we start holding ourselves back as a species.
The problem here doesn’t lie in the invention, but in one humans decision to harm another. I wish we could work on that. I wish we could help evil people to see that harm and destruction is not necessary.
