Beware of any " expert " pushed by Establishment . This is the same propagandist who pushes " Hollywood as Center for Worlds Culture " Hollywood , home of World porn and most violent movies made and according to Actor Corey Haims ' biggest problem in Hollywood is pedophilia" . THAT HOLLYWOOD ?

self awareness doesn't give us the right to slaughter for the fun of it, regardless of how much of an ego trip the guy holding the manhood extension is on.

also, your continued conflation between things like killing unthreatening wild animals for fun and killing a mouse for being in your house because you fear an infestation mean you're either deliberately misrepresenting what i'm saying (intellectual dishonesty) or you're a fucking moron. whichever it is is your problem, not mine.

[veggie530]

Whether or not we are in fact "animals" by classification, there is a distinct difference between human beings and other animals in the kingdom... you know, that thing called self-awareness. With your logic, antibiotics are for "murdering" bacteria because they're living organisms.

I'm not going to converse with you, though, because you use rhetorical terms like "blood sport" and lose objectivity. If you believe me killing a mouse is a "murder," then I cannot rescue from the depths of idiocy.

the oblivious pours from your comment. It takes millions of years for new species to evolve, and they don't evolve from no where, they evolve from existing species. The main problem i'm saying is that the rate at which evolution occurs is far far to slow for the pace of humanities needs and actions, and on top of the there is the whole argument about biodiversity, you act like extinction wont be a problem. Big mistake. the less species there are =greater chance of super bacterium/virus's

I used to agree until I watched a video of him telling us that everyone in Japan would be dead within months from radiation, well Im still here 2 years later. Complete loss of respect for him, a complete sensationalist.

When imperialism gangs up with capitalism there reallly isn't any room for further examinations and questions to what these technology means humans. When everything we do as a human is taking cared by technology what does it mean to be human? That is just one examples of things we should think about. Looking back to this video I have noticed that a lot of what he predicted has already happened without a mindful discussion. Perhaps that discussion is only donein priivate where the rest of humani

[MsWoolala]

Omg this whole video scares the crap out of me. His predictions are shockingly accurate. With that said thr statementshe purpose along with these predictions must be true as well. People will have access to Internet everywhere, computer will gather your information, and your life will be made a lot easier. These statements are fine, and I agree with them. However what scares me the most is the lack of moral examinations on these technological inventions as when he discuss about these subjects .
