:Doc: Remember, kids. Technology goood. Nature baaad. Okay?

: This is an example of dualisim. Where just because two things are diffrent a system of values is developed describing one as better than another. A hierarchy. Hierarchies hav always given the elite the justification they need to subvert and otherwise destroy the apparently weak. But who is to say what parts of any system are not needed. In the complementry view nothing has a prefered status, all things are conected and need eachother. Just because two things are diffrent does not mean that one is good and one is bad, or even that one is better than another. I do not know if you were being sarcastic your self, you seem naturaly sarcastic. If you were not then you might lead your self to the precarious end of a philosophical debate where your only choice would be to either be a monarch or a subject with no will at all. The alternitive is democray or socialisim which asert that we are rational and capable of self rule. So I do not think of technology and nature as opposed to one another. The idea that man is higher on the imaginary hierarchy of the universe is outdated and needs to be changed.

And what do you mean with all this paradigm stuff. What does the color blue have to do with socialisim anyway. I would really like to know.
