[QUOTE="Rob Kuntz, post: 8324621, member: 7015759"] Perhaps. One can theorize. I'm convinced that is not the major issue to human survival, its a stabiilization, for sure, but in the pecking order of humanity's problems its not going to move the meter significantly. That is not to demean or poo-poo, but just that in the scope of history from beginning to now it just becomes another footnote compared to where we could and should be. Its advent is more advantageous for cooperation, that is if humans don't create other uncooperative stances, which they are expert at doing, time and again. What we consider great achievements and gains have been predominantly long and painstaking in coming. Humans are the great resisters of change. Humans hate change. They have created self-replicating established systems which are programmed to be resistant to change. Note how long it took for woman's suffrage and the Gay rights and transgender movements. Slow is the progress of the human. The more we cooperate the faster we move, but in the measure of history this has never been the case. And I foresee an envelopment of us in the long term if we do not unlearn this uncooperativeness on not just the topic issue but on those that could end us, period. [/QUOTE]
