:) not an anarchist, but we need to start from scratch again, and when I say we, i mean EVERYONE.

Are you intentionally trying to be daft?

By your logic, every bit of Western philosophical thought is invalid and irrelevant because of technological progress.

The power of ideas and the ultimate test of their validity is their ability to withstand technological and social change.

What we also see is the tendency of individuals to believe their era is somehow unique. We think our wars are the most world-changing and important to have ever been fought. We believe the changes in our lifetime to be the most definitive that the world has ever faced. In the end, it's not. Terrorism has been around since the dawn of time. We've been killing each other with gunpowder weapons for a milennia. What difference does it make whether we do the killing with a machine gun or a musket?

Besides, most worthwhile ideas were thought of in eras that were obsolete. Maybe we should abandon modern economics and capitalism because they were developed before the internet and wireless phones. :rolleyes:
