Are modern times the pinnacle of mankind's existence?
Answer:
I hope to god this is not our pinnacle. I think we have lived in better times than these. Eventually it will be a downward spiral to our own destruction. We are the largest virus in known existence. We will end our own existence with our greed and need for "easy living", we will exhaust all of our resources until we have nothing left.
yes, humans will destroy themselves with nukes soon.
If the present is the pinnacle of mankind then obviously everything is downhill from now on (you shouldn't have used "or", both phrases agree)
These aren't exactly the Dark Ages are they? It's uphill from here I'm afraid. You know, improving living conditions for everyone and saving the enviorment and all. Kinda makes life worth living.
yeah im gonna go with we have been moving down hill for sometime! im gonna go with.. the day i was born as the pinnacle of mankinds existance, you see the thing is every thing that has happened is so that i could be born... and well now that i am here there is no purpose for humans to repopuate...
Funny how little things stay with us.
I grew up in radio days.
When television came along, my
grandmother remarked, "I'm glad
I lived to see this. This has to be the
ultimate."
Space travel is just around the bend.
And any real space travel will require
some type of quantum mechanics.
If we can strip "time & space" away
from the "quark," we can conceivably
get that quark to a galaxy light years
away in the blink of an eye.
Who knows. There is only one sure
thing. Tomorrow never dies.
Who knows? How do we know, in fact that intelligent beings like ourselves haven't evolved, and self-destructed thousands of times before our present go-round? I am inclined to think that they have. Maybe with each "epoch" what was left of that particular era of intelligent beings passed something on genetically to the next, who had to begin from the beginning, e xcept that somehow they had within them, the "codes of information" from their predecessors. This would mean that somewhere in there, they had the building blocks of knowledge that would put them a little bit further down the road this time around. Only a few, in that next group, would have the ability to pull out those building blocks and re-construct them, and then go on to add to them. But naturally, everybody would eventually come to benefit from this next phase of knowledge and discovery.
Will we, like the others, reach the point of self-destruction? Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps at last, we are the group that has finally "got it right". If not, then the process will start all over and those who grow up from our ashes will have their turn at bat, and perhaps they will succeed where we, like all the others before us, failed.
Far from it.
If we can keep those crazy Theists away from the button to blow us all towards THEIR 'inevitable rapture' and if we can keep outa the way of wayward meteors, we have a good chance of progressing to places we can't yet imagine.
The bloke who was in charge of the USian patents office in 1899 resigned saying: Everything that can be invented - has already been invented.
It depends on how you view evolution. In many ways mankind has never been further away from his natural self and therefore more vunrable in terms of physical health and dependancy on material things for his existance e,g, the homes we live in and our percieved needs such as warmth and diet. Therefore we may be technoligically advanced, but physically and naturally 'backward' Therefore inevitably leading to a rectifying of this inbalance ie man creating his own self destruction and returning to nature!
Most of what the modern technology
boasts of as its inventions were
available in ancient India.
