Please answer this question
-
Would you rather live in a world of advanced technology, where machines with artificial intelligence walk among us in our society, where the common people have cybernetic implants in them to improve their physical and mental functions, where animals are bred for only one purpose: to feed the population, where life is easy because machines do everything for us, leaving people to enjoy the pleasures of luxury, where there are no beggars, no homeless, where everyone is relaxed, but hold no place in society, because humans are not needed where machines can be used instead. We control these machines, let them do our work, where genetics play a big role in our society, altering the human genome and raising life expectancy, where people take things for granted and never learn to be independant.
Or,
Would you live in a world where technology is scarece, where machines are non-existant, where handphones, computers, television are rare and where humans and animals live peacefully with each other, where the only mode of transport is by horse carriage, by riding on the backs of wild animals, and where people truly appreciate Nature for what it is, a great beauty, and where it is allowed to take its course without human interference, where lush green grass and tall emerald trees dominate the landscape, where the sky is always blue in the morning, and crimson pink in the evening, where the moon shines through the night sky without pollution to hinder its light, where stars twinkle as if watching us, where everyone lives in harmony.
Or,
Would you want to live in a world with great technology, where skyscrapers and cities reach for the skies, where Nature is integrated into our daily lives, enhanced by technological breakthroughs, where animal and human life co-exists together with machines and where racial conflicts are not present, where there is compassion for every being, where religious practices are still in play, where humans have begun to understand more about our spiritual and mental needs, where we dwell into a world we've never ventured to before, where we learn to control our minds, enhance its psychic senses, where humans live long lives due to medical science advancements, where people are no longer individuals living as strangers in a community, but people as a whole living together, and bringing great technological and spritual improvements into the lives of others.
Please answer this question I made up myself to determine what sort of people we are I wanna know who will choose what type of life and your definition of paradise... -

y cannot be both? high tech doesn't mean important functions be delegated to machines, or people will live in luxury. the costs of tech cannot be forgo, becuz as we advance, our requirements will also increase.
e.g. once we done with robots, we'll have gundams!

The first choice would ultimately lead to this:

So I want you to choose either 1 or 2 and not both. -
why must it be MUST? maybe we might turn into a spiritual planet and philosophy takes root and we embrace nature while not giving up on technological advancement?Originally posted by Ashiene:The first choice would ultimately lead to this:

humans, sometimes are so strange.....from nothing, we created something, but now with something, we wanna be nothing....

lol its because we're creatures of great intelligence, we're homo sapiens or wise man, we survive while others die, we advance while others fall..but now we've advanced so far we just wanna go further, until one day we'll reach the edge of the cliff and just fall down a great height, and we'll regret we ever walked so far, and so we'll go back to the old days...Originally posted by dcx:humans, sometimes are so strange.....from nothing, we created something, but now with something, we wanna be nothing.... -

Each option has its advantages and disadvantages. I like the 3rd option at most except "where people are no longer individuals living as strangers in a community, but people as a whole living together" this sounds too socialistic and it carries the danger to lose one's individuality.

Everyone is free to express his/her opion, this applies also to the statements made by big men. It's called democracy. Nobody is perfect, hence the statements made by "big men" don't have to be "sacred" and are not guaranteed to be correct. It's a matter of the point of view or opinion.
