]]> Comment on Is the World Doomed? by Terry MacKinnell http://macroastro.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/is-the-world-doomed/#comment-76 Terry MacKinnell Tue, 10 Feb 2009 23:48:39 +0000 http://macroastro.wordpress.com/?p=64#comment-76 David, thank you for your insightful comment. The astrology of the ages and their sub-periods indicate where the action is located, but generallly the action is a combination of positive and negative developments. Scorpio rules everything to do with DNA, hidden things (nano-technology) and belive it or not - the internet (Scorpio is opposite the physical cultural sign of Taurus, so Scorpio implies total lack of physical culture = the internet). Also nuclear weapons and nuclear energy are on the upswing (for better or worse). Everywhere we look in history humanity extends itself in both positive and neagtive directions. Therefore genetic engineering is bound to have a down side. Nuclear proliferation will be bound to have a downside. The most likley times for extreme downsides associated with Scorpio this century are 2005 - 2015 and 2059 - 2069. However on the positive side, these two time periods also promote positive change and renewal. Therefore both can be expected to occur in these time frames. For example the election of Barack Obama seems to indicate a renewal in the USA (or at least the intention of renewal) but it is also possible that Iran may develop a nuclear bomb in the same period. For the first time in decades the construction of nuclear reactors is now increasing - but is there ever such a thing as a 100% fail-safe nuclear reactor? Like James Lovelock, I am a optimistic pessimist. Any study of history will show that humans collectively can manifest both positive and negative qualities - sometimes to the extreme, and that as a general rule, history is a combination of both. this is the track record. There is no reason to believe this track record will change in the future. Therefore to suggest that current scientific discoveries and inventions in technology, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, etc will have some dire or serious consequences is a realistic appraisal of the situation - but this does not mean that these developments should not happen. It is part of the macro-paradox of life, the universe and everything. Terry MacKinnell David, thank you for your insightful comment.

What do you think of the Transhumanist projects that are currently underway? The development of nano-technology, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, etc. Even the scientists involved in moving these things forward have some pretty dire predictions for possible consequences. Their inventions might be the next nuclear bomb. Best, David Metcalfe Hi Terry,

Very insightful analysis of Scorpio in Aquarius.

What do you think of the Transhumanist projects that are currently underway? The development of nano-technology, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, etc.

Even the scientists involved in moving these things forward have some pretty dire predictions for possible consequences. Their inventions might be the next nuclear bomb.

Best,

David Metcalfe

No one four years ago could have predicted that in the US an African-American Democratic Barack Obama would defeat Hillary Clinton, the predicted woman candidate competing for the presidency of the United States in 2008 she will urge her backers to bankroll t Obama's bid, No one likely would have predicted that the Conservative Stephen Harper the Canadian PM of a minority government would last even this long.
