I Am Become Death (part 1) — Paul Goodman Changed My Life

I Am Become Death (part 1) — Paul Goodman Changed My Life:

"One of the most brilliant quips from the social critic Paul Goodman is that “technology is a branch of moral philosophy, not of science.” Goodman was astute enough to recognize that technological “progress” was not a monolithic process but the consequence of many decisions made by individuals and institutions. Any specific technology will bring about changes, sometimes unexpected ones, for good or ill, often both. The challenge, which Goodman implored us to conceive as a moral one, is to make it likely, if not certain, that the technologies we choose to bring into the world, considering the full spectrum of their likely effects, will make the world a better place to live."
