All existence under threat from irresponsible science

The large hadron collider, the largest piece of machinery ever made, has now started up. Those who argue that it is safe are guilty of faith in scientists who do not deserve such trust and all for an experiment that offers no specific benefits, while possibly threatening not only Earth but the very universe.

Here is an article that puts a sane perspective on matters:


Quote:
So many advances of technology and scientific knowledge have claimed to benefit mankind - and yet in reality they are killing us while making us dependent upon them like a junkie depends on his dealer. A very accurate metaphor. Advances in medicine have allowed the weakest to survive and gradually spread weakness and medical dependence throughout the population. Various forms of machinery have take men away from the graft of hard physical labor, and turned them into overweight consumers of mindless garbage objects and entertainment. Genetically modified food was also supposed to help us but it is likely to kill us, while making farmers dependent upon companies for their seeds. Pesticides were supposed to help us, but they poison us, and so on. And all the while we grow further away from our natural state.
