it doesnt mean that we "lack the intelligence to wield it intelligently". its just because mankind is uncooperative. alot of people just dont care and do what they can to entertain/help themselves even if they could do something to help the mankind. and maybe they are the intelligent ones. this concern will not touch our own lives.[/QUOTE]Well, if we were very intelligent we'd see the advantages of being cooperative and how much more we could achieve if we worked together, wouldn't we?
Humans are stupid. That is a fact. Perhaps not compared to for example.... Dung beetles, but compared to ants or bees we certainly are. They've got a good, cooperative society where everyone works for the greater good and not for the greater greed. Imagine what we could do if we had a hive mind..... All of our power and skills would be focused excellently where it was needed and noone would go against the others in order to further themselves.....[/QUOTE]yes, youre right about that. if we(mankind) would always cooperate, then that would mean that there would have never been ANY wars between the human race and that would change our lives alot. but also remember that technology comes with war(countries try new ways to win battles).
