Will the divisions in our ideoligies combined with the advancement of technology be our (humanity's) downfall?

Answer 1

i think the divisions of spiritual ideas have risen greatly starting with the age of aquarius, yet technology gets better and better- this can be explained best by my in terms of astrology.
One of Aquarius keywords is technology and progressive thinking, right now the ruler of aquarius is in pisces which is all about ideas, especially spiritual ideaology. And the ruler of pisces (neptune) is in aquarius, so there is going to be spiritual enlightenment and ideas growing and becoming ever so popular, while at the same time technology will carry a spiritual overtone to it as well as getting better and progressive.
so no i dont think it will be a downfall i think it will bring sudden changes that many will not be used to though but others-more spiritually advanced- will look forward to. This is called a mutual reception and a working together of energy in astrology.
Take the year 2012 for example in the mayan calander, thats only five years away! yet many are looking forward to the changes that will bring astronomically and astrologically and by putting some spiritual overtone to it and say that that will be the beginning of humanities spiritual awakning, and technological growth working together at the same time.

Divisions of ideologies can be a down fall but only to a part of humanity, because in war there are losers and there are winners. The winners will take over what's left and rebuild.Advancement of technology really helps live to go easy on everything, like an escape to God's Damnation to Adam and Eve, when he said that women should suffer bearing children and having labors and cramps and bleeding and stuff. While Adam was damned by toiling the soil, and every produce of the soil he should it with his own sweat. Now, the bible isn't exactly right for this time. Now, women can have C-sections. Men have farming machines to help work the fields. And looks like paradise came to the ones who worked hard and saved diligently. Airconditioning, Cars, bomb shelters in case Soddom and Gomorrha happens again. Hell if we can't get to paradise island why not fly to space instead. We have a lot of cruise ships in case The Great Flood happens again and all that doomsy stuff. So come to think of it, we are out of God's Curse already.

I don't think it is actually the divisions of our idealogies that is destructive, we are all individual thinkers in some way, and we are all entitled to question things, think what we want to think, and beleive what we want to beleive. I think it is actually our inability to listen to the other ideologies that differ from our own, to share ideas, and to come together despite our differences, to do what is most beneficial to all the beings on this planet. There is too much arguing over our differences. Too many wars over our differences. It is not the differences that we need to work out, it is our relationship with others.You can have two entirely different truths, but you can relate them together, and build up something that you have in common. It doesn't matter if you are Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, we all have something in common. We are all human, and deep down I beleive that we all have the same basic desires and needs. There is too much fighting over who is right and who is wrong. It is not that Buddhism is the truth, or Christianity is the truth, or Hinduism is the truth- the truth lies in the relationship that we have with one another. It is the lack of this relationship that will destroy us.

And as far as technology, I don't beleive that the technology itself has the ability to destroy us, it is mankind's misuse of it that would bring about that possibility. If we allow ourselves to become too dependant on it for our survival, if something ever happened to where that technology was not available to us anymore, would we still know how to survive with only our natural resources? Or would our natural resources even be around anymore, because of our neglect toward them for so long, for the sake of our growth in technology? Certain advancements in technology could either lead to disaster, or be beneficial, whether or not we are mature enough to use them in the right way. And with alot of things, such as this whole thing on the possibility of time travel, I think we still have alot of growing up to do before certain advancements should be made, but that's just my own opinion.

Answer 4

The downfall will arise from the results of a continued low consciousness level of the species, combined with the psychopathic agendas very much active and being ratcheted up by the "elites".

Unless the masses "get a clue" as to what's really going on, and up their wisdom quotient, as well, we're all going to be looking out from inside concentration camps, run by the likes of our present administration.

Answer 5

Doom and gloom.

Technology is not the problem but the dependence on it is. When we all forget how to build the machines and fix them, we will be at a loss. The more highly specialized the technology becomes and the fewer know how to use it, build it or maintain it, the society will begin to decay.

As to ideologies, I'm fine to let those who want to kill each other go about their day. I don't need to let it affect me. What survives will be better for it.

Answer 6

Rather they will help us to rise up and up and up.Multiplicity of ideoloies is not inherently a bad thing. It underlines the essential original thinking of man.Even if we discount the half-baked conceipts of a guided evolution this capacity to think independently is a sign of a living, throbbing society. It mayn clash but it would not be a holoacust.They call life a struggle. Only the dead have no problems.
