My good friend, the late Conrad Bert, used to maintain that as far as technology is concerned, humans are just a bunch of chimps playing with a machine gun. -- Joe
I would like to believe that we will be more flexible. I would also like to believe that "others" out there who are vastly more technologically advanced are also vastly more advanced in other ways. On the other hand, our own behavior between 1007 and 2007 hasn't exactly kept pace with our own technology. That observation combined with what little I understand about the scientific method have helped me to maintain my skepticism. (And today, I just happen to be feeling a little cynical, I suppose.)
