Science, albeit in the service of politics and religion, has been the handmaiden of death and destruction from the start.
From the primitive scientist who first attached a sharpened stone (obsidian) to the end of a shaft to create a thrusting or throwing weapon, through the Greeks and Romans with their formidable machines of war, right up to the modern weapons in use today, science has aided and abetted the practice of war.
Science, albeit in the service of politics and religion, has been the handmaiden of death and destruction from the start.
Eliminate politics and religion and what remains? Eliminate science and business and people perish or revert back to the stone age. Science and business have, much to their own detriment, served political-agenda law an religious-agenda rule. Technology, like guns, doesn't harm people, people harm people.
It is people, got that, people, in politics and religion that chose to use technology to cause death and destruction.
