Technology: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly part 3

Blog Posted by Ron Flatow: 3/8/2007 12:03:00 AM
Deception through Belief and Emotion
Belief systems help to ground our lives and technologies help sustain them. Thousands of years ago, belief systems were implemented to help people understand, balance and standardize day-to-day life and higher spiritual existence. This resulted in – arguably – routine, structured, and functional everyday lives. Has this system become a mental prison? Conveniences, technology, or propaganda: have these devalued our cultures? Perhaps the horse has been mysteriously placed before the cart. Now technology wields the power to dictate how we should live.
We embrace an illusion of freedom without the least idea of what has actually happened. When a belief is initiated and then turned into law, you manipulate the population.
 
At the Current Rate, America’s Health System Will Make Us Sick
            Americans are becoming a society of living-breathing guinea pigs. We have given the Food and Drug Administration the freedom to pass regulations and policies on fast foods, drugs, and cosmetic procedures and have not empowered ourselves to decide whether these foods and practices are welcome advancements or duplicity.
We are instructed to eat in moderation but are sound-bitten into consuming all sorts of foods and drugs that do not support general health. Fabricated foods and over-prescribed, commercialized medications are contributing to the breakdown of our immune systems.
      Baby-boomers have helped to introduce a new trend and it’s a multi-million dollar business: pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, health foods, body-building products, life extension vendibles. These are all intended technologies for a variety of life’s functions and dysfunctions: stress, eating habits, chemical dependencies, appearance and old age.
It is the responsibility of every individual to pay attention to what the body is telling us. Because it is not verbal communication doesn’t mean we can’t determine what the message is. Reconnect to these feeling sensations. 
 
Zero Point Energy
Problem: We live in a society where an infinite energy source is a necessity to supply endless power to the cities, businesses, cars, trains, etc. Solution: In physics, zero point energy is an energy extracted from the vacuum of space and is therefore technically infinite. Consumers are forced to subscribe to no-win finite energy sources, but what of zero point free-energy?
Zero Point Energy is the stuff that fuels popular science fiction, but the energy is uncontroversial and a scientifically accepted phenomenon. There have been a multitude of inventions and patents submitted to assist the world utilizing free-energy, but they jeopardize special interests, agendas and global economics. These new forms of technology have been around for tens-of-years and can supply abundantly cleaner and free energy. This is why we may not have heard about it. It would introduce a new technological era and affect every industry on the planet.
Talk about disturbing everyone’s safety net.
 
In Conclusion
Technology, a Greek word, is the knowledge that man utilizes in order to command his own tools and crafts. Technology was the glory that took man from the stoneage and delivered him into an age of simple machines. There are many sociological factors that are the direct by-products of technology and they include ethics, values and lifestyles. And perhaps economics arrived to exchange these machines, so technology spurred on the development of global economy. Consequentially, sources for funding further technological efforts have narrowed, in order to stabilize global economics and maintain labor resources.
Man’s quest for knowledge invented technology. But autonomous technology, left unchecked, is self-motivating and a force that threatens to destroy our freedoms, our human potential and our existence.
