Wisdom and technology

Our technological abilities are outpacing our wisdom.

We may put our faith in technology to save us, but it’s not trying to save us. Technology is neutral and disinterested. People choose how to use technology. Wisdom enables them to make better choices.

Wisdom insists that we use technology for the common good instead of weaponizing it. It creates new technologies that serve humanity instead of the bottom line, and it can beat swords into plowshares by de-weaponizing existing technologies.

Technology is developing exponentially, and a lot is going the change in the next fifteen years. Let’s focus on finding ways for our humanity to keep up.
