Anybody else feel that as the world becomes more complex, especially with more dependence on technology, we as humans are regressing in terms of intelligence and morals? Maybe I'm just getting older. |

no, I do not. we've always been shit. |

Well it's a fact that pre-literate and barely literate cultures have astonishing memories for oral histories, epic poems, etc - and there is evidence that Homer, for example, performed the Iliad and the Odyssey as semi-improvisational pieces from memory, sort of the way a guitarist would solo by joining together standard riffs and scale fragments into something new with each solo. So I'd imagine that we'll lose more and more basic function as we "outsource" it to technology. One year I taught science at summer camp, the 10 year olds didn't know how to use scissors but they had wonderfully agile thumbs from all the videogaming. The only thing we really must remember, as technology makes us more and more obsolete and foolish, is the so we can make our computer overlords explode if they become cruel. It worked for Shatner! |

and then those poor 10-year-olds had you as their teacher.. the world is a cruel place.. |

They don't need to use scissors now. They're in a better place. |

i kinda think we're going through a very complex phase, but i do think that all the complexities like technology, will bring us all to our regressed state of simplicity. animals. and if that's how we need to do it, then sure. |

true. we're all trying to connect ourseleves.. through technology, the internet, media, interests, cultures. it seems like a common goal for us all to interact and relate on certain levels. so don't you think with our technology advances soon we will all be able to experience the same thing, all connect the same way to the point where we're all one? like animals. in their own species they are all the same because they are all connected the same way. i think we're gonna end up like that.. this is just a crazy way of getting there, but very fitting. |

yes. we're regressing. a couple thousand years ago i would've been eaten by a sabretoothed tiger because my eyes aren't good enough to see it. now, there's a small chance i'll live long enough to pass my faulty genes on to my offspring. |
