Humans have achieved, discovered and learned quite a bit over the course of our history. Interestingly, we still find ourselves attacking each other and fighting over the most solvable things.
We have the ability to send a nuclear powered submarine with over 100 people on it to the bottom of the ocean for 6 months at a time. We have built dams that span and harvest the power of rivers, we have built railroads that cross continents, and we have built space craft that send us information from remote parts of our universe. Medicines and vaccines have been developed. Bionic Legs have been created that perform better than our natural ones, medicines have fought off plagues and blind people have been made to see.
Humans have the ability to do just about anything we put our minds to. To think otherwise is to dwell in a fantasy land of hoplessness.
As we as humans realize that we are indeed all the same living breathing conscious beings no better or worse than anyone else, we must work that realization of reality into our development of technology.
There is no reason why we as humans can not solve all of our problems while at the same time causing harm to no one. It is this bold future of freedom, individuality, discovery, productivity and prosperity that we look forward to in this next millenium, not as us vs. them as in the past, but as an entire world population enjoying the fruits of our human abilities.
