RE: The secret experiments made by Elon Musk! Test implants to read your thoughts
Do you not see that as a perspective which is guided by fear?
This is an incredibly complex topic that can branch off into many sub-topics. One of which is what you call 'improvement of the world' I hear this opinion from people all the time and I see it as an assumption that may not be true. There is a lot to be said about times gone by.
Not too long ago in our past, life was simple and people knew real happiness.Sadly, today we have a massive amount of problems in society that didn't exist a few years back. Depression and mental health problems have reached epidemic proportions in our society. I believe this is a direct consequence of technology and the anti-social, isolating aspects that come with it.
Another thing to consider is the wider implications of our rapidly growing technology. As I'm sure you can too, I can imagine many scenarios where we might destroy ourselves through our technology. The very fact this is easy to imagine is a problem in itself because it increases the chances of it happening.
As a species, we have no idea if the GREAT LEAP has been passed yet or if it's ahead of us. The latter would mean our probable end.
People are also very quick to assume that we are the most intelligent humans today but I don't think so. In fact, I believe we are getting dumber and dumber with each generation. I believe the 'genius' benchmark has dropped considerably.
Finally, most of our opinions are dependant on our understanding of whats true. We put a lot of faith in people who are proven liars, who seek dominion over us with their power and authority. I say this for one reason.. can we REALLY trust our history books?
Thanks for getting me thinking. haha
No, as of now you can't trust anyone other than your instincts. History are made by the winners. History can be manipulated. I am a Godly person which means I MUST believe in bible BUT I'm not quite sure if all the articles written there are pure facts or at least written by God. As I've said history can be manipulated. There are a lot of conspiracy going on how the bible was edited. I only filter the things I accept.
I so much agree that people are getting dumber and dumber. I mean look at the trends in social medias, most of it are nonsense. The people in the past thinks greatly for our time today, but we're still basing from the theory of the great scientists before because we can't yet prove it. Theories are still theories. We are not moving, we're still stuck from the knowledge we had before. Wait.... Is it because of us? Or is it because that's what the government or the people who has the "power" wants us to do? To be puppets.
By the way I would like to add greed in the guide for some people's perspective.
What you consider fear can be curiosity and science for someone else.
Absolutely, I agree. I'd feel slightly more comfortable if this research was motivated by curiosity but I fear most of this research is born out of a fear of death.
