[GMW #4806] Evaluate Inventions, Innovations For Long Term (500 years) Effects

[GMW #4806] Evaluate Inventions, Innovations For Long Term (500 years) Effects   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000

~ Idea 37 ~  16 August 1994

All new inventions, innovations and patents must be subject to an evaluation of their long-term effects. Humanity must adopt the Iroquois wisdom of thinking about the effects of its decisions on the seventh generation, which means in 500 years.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II - The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 12 - Of Beauty and Arts
Beauty is simply Creation and nature at their best. It is the heavens, the stars, the sun, the sky, the seas and oceans, the mountains, the valleys, the forests and fields, plants and animals, water, rocks, flowers and last but not least humans and their great works of art over the millennia which we hope will never die.

[GMW #2708] Nurturing The Seventh Generation And Beyond With Out DeHumanizing Or DeNaturing


[GMW #2708] Nurturing The Seventh Generation And Beyond With Out DeHumanizing Or DeNaturing Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3101 ~
It is quite normal, quite human that we are immensely grateful for the discoveries of science and technology: e.g. electricity, heating, health, nutrition, transportation, longer lives.  All our 'natural' senses and organs: eyes, ears, hands, legs, brains have been extended immensely: eyes with telescopes, microscopes, television; ears with radio, telephone; hands with machines; legs with trains, cars and airplanes; brains with universities, computers, etc.

Only the 300 million indigenous people in 5000 tribes in 70 countries, had their doubts about it: what will be the effects of all that on the 7th generation to come (about 500 years)?

Well this question is beginning to arise in the western world too:

- the negative effects of automobiles and aviation contributing to 12,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the air every minute;

- the effects of better health in the poor countries which decreased the mortality of their children and produced an incredible population explosion, with far-reaching effects;

- television which is affecting the immemorial, natural relations between parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren;

- the sudden diminishing of the western population, less prone and capable of reproduction.

And what will be the long-term effects of computers, robotics, biological engineering, nano-technology, etc?

The time has come, in my view, to create a world agency or for UNESCO to look into the adverse effects of human innovations, sciences and technologies and their marketing on the natural characteristics of humans and their transmission through reproduction and genes over time.  Are we witnessing evolutionary progress or a dehumanization of humans, except for the indigenous and 'under-developed' peoples of this world?

This new emerging phenomenon must be looked into seriously by humanity.  The environmental crisis might be only a first signal of it.  The challenges might be much deeper, a truly evolutionary phenomenon on a unique life-endowed planet in an evolving universe.

One third of Costa Rica consists of national parks, biological reserves, provincial parks and protected areas where no forests can be exploited and trees cut. This should be considered as a model followed by all countries of the world.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 8 Of Health
As a gardener I have learned that sick plants and flowers can transmit their sickness through their seeds and other means to other plants.

Isn't it possible that the same is true of humans, that we transmit our sicknesses, weaknesses and defects to our descendants, and may even pollute the ground into which we are buried?

Isn't it therefore our duty towards the Earth and our descendants to be healthy, to live a flawless life and to think of the seventh generation as the Iroquois do?

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.
