We evolved for tens of thousands of years peacefully as hunter and gatherers.
The perversion you point out is a relatively new trait to homo sapiens. The speed at which it was adapted, leads me to the conclusion that it isn't a natural trait that has evolved with the species.

Dont worry
I am sure all these experiments are just "pranks" by scientists.

Humans, no matter how smart we get at the end of the day we all just want to smash things together and see what happens.

I think there are only negative aspects in technology.
And yet without technology you would not be able to have this discussion in the manner you now are, just a thought.

I believe the human species is a perversion. Organisms, especially mammals are supposed to be molded by the environment, not the other way around.
An intelligent species does not actively seek to destroy its surroundings.
Medicine? No, one dies if one dies.
If you look at how we are "evolving" right now, the result is a human in artificial or digital form, not even organic in nature. We will end up floating in space, alone, with no feelings, stored as data in a metal cube.
Now would you rather grow a fur and eat a nice papaya instead?
I would, all day long.
I do get what you are saying. you're right, humans are a perversion, a cancer to this planet the way we are going now.
But if we all turned into furies to eat papaya's, it would only be a matter of time before we started deciding on who has the better, longest, more beautiful and most shiny fur of all. Then we would fight for leadership of the furies and his selected few will take away all the papaya's from the common furies to give them to our fury king.
It's our nature to be who we are and only evolution can suck that monster out of us...

Kind of missing the salient point XipeTotex, your employing the use of technology by way of communicating in the manner that you now are, hence you may be able to live with out this type of discussion, but you choose not to.
Humans don't invent tools that they do not use.
I am here right now because i am addicted to the internet. Addiction could be a choice, or something else.
I do get your point tho, i just disagree.

The computer you are using right now, it is here thanks to quantum science, so is your microwave btw
And that ultra fast gaming laptop you have your eye set on (you or anyone else), is there because of scientific breakthroughs made in the last 2-3 years.... as are solar panels, heatpumps, modern cars, etc...
The research done at the colliders and other facilities is what is going to make our lives better in the future
Just science is all that is going on .

I've been hearing that today 1pm eastern time that they are firing up CERN at full power for the 1st time .
What could happen and whats the goal anyone got any input
Small black holes or time shifts ?

The computers you are using today are because INTEL, a government organization in 1947, harvested silicon chip technology from the Roswell crash. Same with the microwave and solar panels. Cars use silicon chipsets. Heatpumps use convection or steam, which is not CERN related.
Better that Mankind focuses on the welfare of it's population First. CERN, in no way is beneficial to propagation of our species. In fact, it's risks outweigh any benefit unless it can get us to a more hospitable planet after we destroy this one, whether it be Famine or War, which, from an economical standpoint, are Extremely profitable. "Science" within itself, is not inherently good. Before you respond, read what I posted a minimum of 10 times for it to sink in.
