A recent report states the prestigious Alfred Sloan
Foundation, which has $US 1 billion to splurge, has
enlisted Hollywood to enhance public understanding of
science and technology. In other words, more respect is
wanted for science.
It deserves it does it not? After all, it has given us
all the following:
* |
Better house heating - and Global warming, |
* |
Better communication - and microwave-induced
brain frying, with brain cancer galore, |
* |
HAARP technology to induce mass insanity in
targeted populations, |
* |
Birth control - and inadvertent sterilisation of all
biological systems, including humanity, through
wanton, irreversible chemical and radioactive
pollution, |
* |
Nuclear-powered electric lighting - and fatal
nuclear waste, |
* |
Mobility via the petrol-engined vehicles - and
planetary death via poisonous air and the
Greenhouse Effect, |
* |
Millions of carcinogens everywhere, and
destruction of the protective Ozone layer, |
* |
Vaccines to protect against such diseases as
Tetanus - and vaccines contaminated with HIV-AIDS which is killing billions and in time would
destroy all humanity, |
* |
Faster meat production for the carnivore cannibals -
and Mad Cow Disease, |
* |
Instant War with Smart Bombs which hit their
targets 2% of the time, |
* |
Eagled-eyed satellites which can count the millions
killed in "collateral damage", |
* |
New fancy syndromes such as "The Gulf War
Syndrome" which will destroy America, |
* |
Antibiotics which admitted have saved many lives -
but which, as a side-effect, have turned innocuous
bacteria such as Staphylococcus Aureus into totally
drug-resistant killers, |
* |
Totally drug-resistant Malaria and Tuberculosis, |
* |
Better analgesics - and heroin addiction, |
* |
Synthetic compounds - and designer drugs with
greatly increased psychotic behaviour and greatly
increased deaths, and suicides, |
* |
Rust-resistant grains - and superweeds which will
kill all food grains eventually, |
* |
Diverse manufacturing which gives such wonders
as multicoloured toilet paper - and irreversible, fatal
pollution of the soil, food, and sea, with death of
marine life, |
* |
Foodstuff so contaminated with chemicals,
hormones, antibiotics, various carcinogens,
colorants, preservatives, sterilisers, emulsifiers,
radiation, flavour-enhancers, stabilisers, modifiers,
and implanted foreign genetic material, that its
consumption, without exception, is a serious danger
to health, |
* |
Psychotropic drugs such as Prozac which allow
patients to suicide more easily, with less worry, |
* |
Performance-enhancing drugs such as Viagra which
allow fools to die contented "on the job", |
* |
Atomic bombs which kill millions in a flash, |
* |
Neutron bombs which kill all living things and
leave the furniture and spoils unscathed, |
* |
Napalm and dioxin bombing to ensure the death of
everything in the countryside, |
* |
Enough Nuclear warheads to exterminate everyone
on the planet many times over, |
* |
Spent-uranium shells to ensure death of future
generations by radiation, |
* |
Genocidal Wars such as in Biafra and Iraq for the
sake of the holy petro-dollar, |
* |
More efficient agents of Chemical and Biological
Warfare which increase suffering of victims before
their death, |
* |
Better homes and gardens with massive
deforestation which ensures mass flooding of
denuded areas, |
* |
Useless DNA experimentation between species so
that species specific defences to disease will be
destroyed and transgenic diseases will occur more
often, more fatally, |
* |
Intra- and inter-species cloning, in contradiction to
the directive to "Keep the Race Pure", so that we
will have, if time permits, horrible trouble-making
hybrids and monsters, as on Mars long ago, and in
Atlantis not so long ago, which will attack
humanity in due course, |
* |
Long range missiles so high-tech cowards can push
buttons from Command Centres and kill millions
without ever having to face their grossly
disadvantaged enemy, |
* |
Accelerated death of fauna and flora everywhere
due to ubiquitous pollution and scientific side-effects. |
Ah yes, what wonders of Modern Science and its
Technology we have in our lives.
Indeed, Science has accomplished many things - as
the handmaiden of Evil! After all, does it not deny a
Greater Reality, other dimensions in general, alien
consciousnesses, life after physical death, all to obfuscate
truth? What else could so efficiently destroy the planet and
all living things?
All apparent beneficial advances are negated by
looming fatal consequences. Short-term scientific and
technical gains in this fatally flawed system, as I have
pointed out, are accompanied, undeniably, by agents of
Humanity's fatal pains. Every attempt to mend the mess
compounds the problems, and increases the crassness.
Do you now really think Science and its Technology
deserve praise and respect?
