Modern technologies
You will hear a person say ‘ it was better in the old days” “I remember when” etc.. Things change and change has a price. Were ethics the price of this frantic technological world.
Todays technologies for the most part are far superior. As a kid I remember trying to start my car at -40(Canada eh!) NO CHANCE. Today starting a car at -40 little to no problem. Science ,education, foods production.
Computers, (that’s a sentence in one word)
Medical technology and knowledge no comparison we are better for sure. So many other industries and so many other ways we are better.
We have failed in some areas of course we have, but now “its never been closer” to a form of Utopia(over the top, maybe, lets see)
Utopia
I can write an article and post it for the world, so can you. Think of what that means. Telephone around the world anytime without going broke. Think of what that means.In real time watch events unfold around the world both good and bad. When good rejoice and feel as if we are part of it. When bad send our help to those in need. Send what comes so easily to us, human love. A small sampling of what is to come.
Utopia
The focus we now have has made us singular people(the informed) from all corners of the earth. We as a group are not defined by geopolitics religious ideologies economic chaste and other things. Some of us will never go back.
What will that lead toward.
This crisis has united us. I am sure the power brokers in the world are quaking right now. This kind of solidarity changes the world when it is nourished.
What will that lead toward.
The proper/ethical use of medical science.
What will that lead toward.
Ethics
We are taking back the ethical narrative in medical sciences. Thanks to our heros.
I can only dream where that will lead.
They/them/those have tried to take or humanity though hate speech and division. Separating us from our brothers. Not only using this crisis(?) but also over the years of constant fear based manipulation. But they have now strengthened us. They have made many of us consider who we really are, I think we are great. Our ethics have been put to the test and we have won.
We have now been made to stand up for something. Naturally we have self interest in our hearts that shouldn’t be denied but we have seen the broader picture of mankind. That broader picture has defined the new ethic, we know who we are.
In closing, Do not let them take from us these fledgling steps they are fragile steps. Do not look away now, now more than ever we push. We nourish our new beginnings.
Utopia is possible if the human spirit is allowed to flourish.
