"...the human species is living as if it had more than one planet to occupy..." What is your own view?
Ug. I think that what Ashley said is true - it's more that we are living without thinking about the consequences of our actions. I suppose that, by extension, the above statement is also true. But it doesn't seem as if people are looking for somewhere else to go - just blithely continuing to consume and destroy and mess things up. Fracking? Really? In California especially? Land of earthquakes and drought? It is so incredibly, shockingly messed up. That's just one small example. Everything is driven by profit, and there is no accountability. Just greed and blindness. I get really hopeless thinking about it.
Post your thoughts on our class discussions
Other classmates have also posted on the 3-D printed pills. It's a pretty striking concept that allows for a lot more flexibility and ease than is currently offered by the industry. It's really interesting to think about how far this will extend, what the future could hold. I imagine that regulating the home 3D printing of medications would be a whole 'nother ball of wax, but that will unfold, as well. So many things are becoming less centralized as technology and knowledge (via the internet) become more advanced and widely shared.
