The Autistic Yogi Rants on those that Hate Science and Technology

I have noticed a trend growing of a form of hate directed at science and technology my heart breaks a little.
There is a certain awe that pervades my mind when I consider all the education, work, invention and innovations that our human race have made. Certainly much of it has been used for ill purposes but I'm an optimist and believe that the majority of all this have been focused for the good.
People have mystified how life was like prior to technology and science. Nature is a cruel mistress, I can't see her as a loving mother, she will take your life without regard and this has always been the case, earthquakes, scourges, pestilence, pathogens of all types, vast shifts in weather or internal movements that devastate life are not something new and have always been here, it's not because 'god' or 'goddesses' are punishing us, it's simply the way the universe operates.
The image of the lone mother attempting to scrape together enough of natures bounty to feed her starving family comes to mind. Existence without electricity is extrememly hard work and it's perils are very real and not something mystical. If your the type of person who is capable of living without modern medicine, without electricity or other methods of modern living than good for you for going through the gruelling task of learning how to live the old way.
I will continue to celebrate our human ingenuity. I will continue to call for scientific transparency. I will continue to support the brave men and woman who put their lives in the line of fire to battle against the wickedness of skewed principles and powers. I will continue to support the oil industry as it slowly fazes out and the next wave of technological advancement takes its place. I will support the men and woman whom day after day go to their places of learning and work and contribute to make life easier for us all. I continue to support vaccines and will continue to state that not all are safe but the efficacy of some have been proven repeatedly over and over.
I will not support bigotry either in the common man or at the level of governments. I will not support the hatred for modernization. I will not support the destruction of our planet either.

I am a peace warrior
I walk the middle ground
