Like I said, I don't mean that we should shut down ALL innovation. I still believe science is worthy when it is used PROPERLY. What I aim to do is spark discussion so that we can think of some REASONABLE guidelines that prevent the developments of certain kinds of technology. I used to believe that unbridled knowledge acquisition was good but over time I started to feel that some knowledge is better left alone. Whether that is really true is a difficult question but I believe that there is an optimal amount of everything, including knowledge. Moreover, I feel that sometimes less is more. Having fewer possessions, eating less sugar, and yes, developing less technology, are all things that we should strive for. Finally, there is more innovation than just technological. We could also innovate with our own minds, developing a deeper understanding of ourselves through personal development. Innovation does not have to be creating physical or technological products; we only focus on that because we are hypercapitalistic in our disposable society.
