Technology is not about anti-gravity, designer children, or new information channels merely. It is about the entire field of human subjectivity and how we choose to define and direct ourselves. Those questions invoke the ultimate meaning of our lives. Technology enables people to act powerfully but how we act is not determined exclusively by technology. Either the universe is all meaningless or it is all meaningful.
Meaning seems to be a function of complexity.
As seemingly isolated events or inert substances are integrated into a complex system, meaning happens. At that instant, when the circle is closed, the beginning and the end will be seen to have always been one thing. Consciousness including all of its means of being. Or put it this way. I'll ask you to look me in the eye and tell me there's no such thing as evil.
