Has science really made us better off? - General

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;17542103]do we need to communicate? or do we need all that knowledge?[/QUOTE] Do we need it to live? Not generally. Is it useful for raising the standard of human living above simply survival? Yes.

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;17542114]How does electricity improve life?[/QUOTE] It's often used to create medicine in factories and shit.

[QUOTE=Roll_Program;17542120]Op just rated everyone dumb.[/QUOTE] No i didnt... nobody in this thread is rated dumb...

OR Op is 13 trying to sound intelligent by [U]trying[/U] to ask deep philosophical questions.

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;17542076]exactly [B] didnt science create new ways to endanger different animals?[/B] [/QUOTE] So fucking what? Pandas can die for all I care. :colbert:

To answer the question stated in the title, yes. Yes it does. If you don't like technology just go out and live in the wild. No one will miss you.

How does space travel help create medicine?

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;17542114]How does electricity improve life?[/QUOTE] It runs your life support machines and defibrillator after you have a horrific injury for a start.

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;17542141]No i didnt... [B]nobody in this thread is rated dumb...[/B][/QUOTE] Except you.

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;17542141]No i didnt... nobody in this thread is rated dumb...[/QUOTE] I'm with there was a step above the dumb rating for this post.... :synpa:

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;17542114]How does electricity improve life?[/QUOTE] Try living on a desert island for two years alone, and you'll figure it out.

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;17542156]How does space travel help create medicine?[/QUOTE] Hahahahahaa. You just can't compare the two. Although, some types of micro-organisms grow differently in 0g, and that that could be beneficial for the development of antibiotics.

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;17542156]How does space travel help create medicine?[/QUOTE] Well, space travel creates problems to solve, and often while trying to solve one issue, we make a discovery that helps solve other issues.

Science hasn't destroyed the world, Money did.

ITT: Someone asks pseudo-intellectual questions in order sound deep, but just sounds like a tool.

[QUOTE=Riotashuma;17542198]Science hasn't destroyed the world, Money did.[/QUOTE] Cry about it. Money is a necessary "evil".

[QUOTE=lmaoboat;17542205]ITT: Someone asks pseudo-intellectual questions in order sound deep.[/QUOTE] Yeah that happens a lot here.

[QUOTE=pie_is_good;17542220]Yeah that happens a lot here.[/QUOTE] Not that much. This one was just extraordinarily stupid.

I would love to have been born thousands of years in the past in some little Norse village or something. (I wouldn't know the difference, but you know what I mean) But I'm fine with this life and thankful for the knowledge we have now that people didn't have then.

[QUOTE=lmaoboat;17542205]ITT: Someone asks pseudo-intellectual questions in order sound deep.[/QUOTE] Like I said, except you worded it a lot better than me.

Doe it matter? When people create something, it makes makes them feel fulfilled. In addition, it may make some task in their day easier, or make them money by selling it. Multiply this by all the inventors/ scientists/ artists/ businessmen and then by 20 thousand years of human civilization, and you get what we have now. End of story. It has nothing to do with progress, it's just a bunch of people living and working together, no different then living in trees really, just a different setting.

:doh: at OP. He tried to sounds deep, but failed.

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;17542114]How does electricity improve life?[/QUOTE] So much wrong with statement. A small list Mass production, communication, entertainment, warfare, computers, medicine, just about everything electricity does improves life.

[QUOTE=Kybalt;17542269]Till you did some Norse chick and you didn't know why it burned every time you took a piss for the rest of your life then died from cancer.[/QUOTE] I didn't know cancer was a STD...

[QUOTE=Robopirate;17542295]I didn't know cancer was a STD...[/QUOTE] They were totally unrelated... duh... Got some STD... Then later developed skin cancer or someshit.
