Technology will save us

I have long been a believer that the technology we are developing will enable us to grow and adapt to any changes we are making to our environment.

Be it space travel so we can expand and get away from the limits Earth puts on our growth, enhancements to our bodies so we can survive in environments outside the ranges we currently need to meet, the way we grow and process food and many other similar ideas.   Ideas totally rejected by a rather noisy few whingey whiney people who think we should all go back in time, put the genie back in the bottle and start killing ourselves off but excluding them of course as they are priests for the newest religion on the planet.

I’ve met a few people on my travels that believe technology will be our saviour, most don’t even think about it until you talk to them and put a few facts on the table while the priests actually started indocrinating our children via our dismal education system.    They can’t add up in their heads or work out percentages but they know exactly who is to blame for the earth being devoid of life in 50 years time and what sacrifices we have to make to extend that for another few years.   Praise the messiah, and it is not Obama this time.

So, it pleases me immensely that an article in the New Scientist, usually full of Climate Change, overpopulation and other whingy whiney theories has a simple article from someone with similar views to myself.

I am not alone.  It is a bit of a relief actually for a while there I was not so sure.
