Will Science Destroy Us?
I was watching my favorite show( on any station), on Hulu.com (perfectly legal, check it out), Fringe (the episode is Ablility, 2/10/09). Whats-his-face (Bishop, the other Bishop, not Walter) read from a manuscript (ZFT) to Olivia about how science is distroying the world through developing weapons through science. Of course the manuscript went in a different direction when Olivia had to get box and complete the first test (turn off all the lights without touching any of them).
But that got me thinking, we are developing bigger and more powerful weapons with science (obviously). Nuclear weapons can kill entire cities already, what deadly and unecessary weapon will we develop next? I think we need to create and get scientists to sign a peace pact saying that they will not create a device designed to kill, maim, or distroy. I belive peace is the only way we can forward our world so that we can make space travel common, magic bullets, and most anything and everything science fiction has come up with. I belive that if we didnt have war, science would have progressed so much further, stuff might have been a little different but we would probably have stuff that goes beonyd amazing.
Who belives something similar? Would you try to help make the world a better place by implementing a science peace pact? Or is there something similar already out in the world?
