Guess which noun I'm thinking of now.
Arseholes.
Scientists, your kluges are showing.
Yes, yes - I know. It's all to help humanity.
NanoRobotThis, BrainScanThat.
We haven't done so damned gloriously while elevating you lot to the top of the respect chain, now have we?
Pardon me while I get my cynical hat off.
There, that's better.
Now, as I was saying....oh, where've you all gone?
Lovely pic from here.
Sadly cynicism is the only rational response to such madness.
ReplyDeleteScience is a false god, on a false trail, leading nowhere. It will be fun watching it eat it's own tail soon ;-)
Peace :)
I will agree that some scientists need to get a soul, a moral compass. But not all science is bad.
ReplyDeleteEinstein refused to work on the atom bomb project but he did support America making it before others did.
And some that did work on it were sorry that they did even though they found it to be interesting work.
And some early airplane inventors came to see what monsters they had helped create.
Well, it's done now isn't it? But not all scientists are bad and they do give us good things.
Think about it this way, they help balance things out and in the end will make life on this planet better.
If you want to fuss about something fuss about greed, I've never seen a scientist as greedy as a capitalist or many other monkeys.
If you don't like science toss your computer and all your other nice fancy things out in the yard.
I'm going camping in the morning, will be back in 3 or 4 days. Hugs.
I like science-hel, I am a scientist, from a family of the critters.
ReplyDeleteBut the heights we've elevated it to sometimes result in unwarrented cruelty in the name of profits and conforts for humankind, never mind the nonhuman world we're torturing for it, they don't feel anything, do they?
A lot of scientific experimentation has taken place under the worldview that only we matter, that we maim and kill because we can, which is unacceptable.
However, science as an enquiry into who why and what we are and what we're doing here is on a par with any other human endeavour like art and religion (aarrgh).
I just don't think we need worship the purveyors of technology and medicine.
Love,
