you might want to look up 'omnipotence'.uhm, noWhat can be the worst punishment that you an imagine?
How about an eternity in a box?
Boxes are invented to keep things safe and secure. We have outsourced our security to technology.
You can escape from questioning by people even if it is the gestapo. But how do you escape open ended questions from a Computer?
And can that computer control your mind too? How about controlling your mind through your emotions? People used to call religion a mind control. But can it beat a computer in that?
Imagine, the bible says give Caesar what is Caesars. But what if you need to match the dexterity of a computer to figure a common sense feel of what is Caesars and what is not? Most governments pride themselves in using taxation to control your behavior. Can you live your life under continuous total control?
So, was the medieval Church right, to say that science and technology is best suppressed?
tech is a tool, tools can be used to do good, evil or anything in between.
No because without tech, only God has omnipotence. With computers, every dirty little muggler gets omnipotence. And government's support this. So it is technology that tips the balance between good and evil. Technology activates evil people.
you can do evil with a rock, as the first recorded murder weapon, that should clue you in.
