emmbeezeeWed, Dec 19, 2007 Less interested in responding to your post, Render, than I am in responding to chr15's comment:
Do you not think it's true that throughout history we humans have had a problem with the separation of creation with dealing with the aftermath of it? Scientists run around creating, discovering, and only later does society try to clean up the aftermath of it.
ex. industrial revolution created pollution, increased poverty-wealthy gap in the world
I am not saying that this is a done-deal. If anything, I feel as if this is something we need to correct.
Do you have any ideas for solutions to this? I am very interested in hearing any ideas about how to better connect the social science and science spheres, the intellectual and practical worlds; figuring out ways to merge the theoretical with the reality. But less abstractly, how can we continue to grow without killing ourselves in the mean time?

How can we do this?
