questor Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Coberst, I agree that technology such as nuclear arms present an overpowering danger. So does overpopulation which is not so much a technology problem, but is an intelligence problem. I also agree that man will probably do himself in by war, famine or destruction of his environment. To me,this is a cognition problem and theinability to rationally determine problems and act upon them in a timely fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The population lacks the intellectual sophistication to comprehend the problems that our technology has helped us create. If we cannot recognize the problem in time to fashion a solution then we cannot survive. The financial crises is a good example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
