> I can imagine a culture in which such a discovery would be made without anyone planning to use it for a bomb. This would be a high culture. But making a bomb was an idea all too natural in in which technological superiority was so integral to subduing other world cultures... I'm not saying is all bad, or even neutral. It needs to be seen as ambivalent in the human context...

An interesting thing has, that might be more insidious than it might seem at first glance, is how we put our individuality above all else.

There's too many examples of this to count, but it even gets into progressive fiction like Star Trek, with the borg.

What is the problem with this, you might ask? Well, it teaches us from the moment we are born that our individuality is above all else, even the group.

It's not surprising that we now have anti-maskers and stuff like that.
