I do hope we are guests to what we call space as well as other planets. Exploitation should certainly not be to the detriment of others.
I'm alarmed that your statement about industry, commerce and business, as if to make it OK to do whatever necessary using these devices, despite the suffering they cause, because it's about survival. If the reason for space exploration is about survival, it shouldn't be an industry or commercial. It should be philanthropy.
I'm sure Apple are making iPads to put the technology at the fingertips of everyone right? If that were the case, they'd give them away.
I see the connection you made between Buddhist teachings and my post. I like this. But I don't believe the essance of my post was in any way limited in relevance to 'personal' lives. What kind of life isn't personal?
- Wintamute 14y agoThere's a distinction between ownership of (or attachment to) physical items, dogmatic belief, relationships, whatever vs. opening up new frontiers within which we can conduct commerce and expand into. One is to do with our personal mental states, the other is to do with the very real physicality of our situation as a species. They seem two quite different notions to me.
