11. I recall the quote, I believe from Einstein, at the first atomic bomb test
I think it was along the lines of, "It has become painfully apparent that our technology has vastly outpaced our humanity."
As much as I don't relish the thought, perhaps the only thing that can really save humanity would be a situation in which our technology was vastly reduced, and we were forced to concentrate equally upon our humanity.
I dunno -- just thinking out loud here. I just wanted to add that disclaimer before any other posters accuse me of wanting to go back to the 10th or 11th century.
