[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Well, I think we're heading towards a wave of social conservatism as the world comes to realize that all these ominous-sounding technological developments we hear about in the news have essentially happened already, and the fact that we are living in a world where our historical models no longer apply will, perversely, encourage us to grab hold of those models even more tightly. That, and the Flameboard. (Not because of the nature of this thread's discourse, but these sorts of grand questions are more its style.) Or possibly <a href="http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/2310.asp">a secret space war.</a> (It's flattering to think that our concerns are unique, and that our historical models really are broken in ways that prior eras' were not, but I do not pretend to know if this is actually the case, and I am always wary of, like, chronocentrism. At any rate the Catholic Church has weathered fierce storms of technosocial change before.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
