re: Will Science Destroy Us?

Though it's true that people kill others and guns don't have a mind of their own, occasionally a gun will go off by accident.

Then again, that's probably a human's fault.

Either way, I don't think that all humans are always capable of every action they do; though this is unrelated, I must state that gun shops should have stricter control and a sort of Sane-ness test to weed out those capable of destruction of human life.

Science is destroying us, not because it is doing it itself, but because human nature, it seems, appears to be violent. We ourselves invented technology such as the a-bomb, nuclear/biological warfare, and firearms. Though it was not science itself that made these inventions, it will still be the direct cause of destruction.

And keep in mind how our artificial intelligence is keeping up.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
