technology: who we are and what we feel
If words didn't exsist could i still feel? would i know what to feel?
would i be able to think without words?
Of course we would still feel, we just wouldn't be able to express it using concrete terms.
but the more words i know, does that mean i have more thought, feelings and emotions?
when i was little, i was happy or sad. now i can be content, giddy, or another of the emotions livejournal lets me be.
by creating new jobs and new technologies, does that mean we are creating new personlities for people?
back when man was an animal,before tools, he was a gather. then farming was created and there were the hunters and the farmers. you could be one or the other or both. depending on your mood.
now there are a million carrers, new ones being made each day, new ones i learn about all the time, so how could i possibly know what i want at this moment, when the next moment something new can arise? why have we specialized ourselves so much and complicated the system?
is this complication nesscary for the advancement of society? how do we judge and rate advancement? is it the number of disease we can conquer? the number of people fed? the ease and numbness of life and desenitizing of feelings?
back to my point...
henry david Thoreau wrote "one is not born in the world to do everything but to do something..."
but how can i commit to something when everything is interconnected and everything is so speiclized?!
if i want to do everything i need to go to the source of the complication, everything goes back to gathering. using my environment to gather knowledge? this part i'm still sketchy about in my mind....
anyway, so i can't commit to feelings, a "job", or a girl. i don't get why we need to stay commited to a single person. everyone in the world is loved by someone. it is posible to love everyone. it is possible to feel love for everything all the time. jesus was "the light of the world", the sun gives us life, life is love. there is no God, there is no heaven or hell. all we have is this moment, make this your heaven on earth because this is the only reality you have so why not make it the best? why not feel love all the time and love everything you do and everyone?
ever since man created the first tool we've been on a mission to make the world work more efficently. stream line rivers, make plants grow bigger, faster. its not about being efficent, its about being selfsufficent. speed is finite. time is infinity. efficentency hits a wall. selfsufficentancy is a sideways 8 that loops around and on into inself.
inconclusion:
1)how do you define a person?
2)generatalization is needed for the evolution of society, while speicalization is holding us back by giving everyone a place.
3)what makes my hand move? what makes my memory so vivid? what lets me know i'm in love? its all electricy inside my brain, we are all energy, we are everything! the greatest form of energy is light and love is light.
