Technology is knowledge in use, and given that all action is intended to create equilibrium, technology is meant to facilitate social and cultural changes.

Mental ailments arise when there is a disparity between technological elements and human self concept.

Normal is when technology changes as quickly as self concept.

I have been thinking about Breivik and Kaczinski. I have reason to believe that their actions are indicative of mental illness.

Let's start with Kaczinski. His 'road to revolution' details how Man has become helpless against technology, and urges a reversion to 'nature'.

But it was lost on him that it was humanity that was to transform and be at par with technology. He is defeated. He isn't a being anymore.

Same case applies to Breivik. Technology has brought all people together. How can one find conservatism on the past?

Man has to transform. Relationships are changing as jobs are changing.

We need a paradigm shift even in how we live, and it is too stressful.

Or that we aren't seeing what is happening and consequently not doing what needs to be done.

What do you mean?

Imagine conditions for superconductivity. Life thrives on resistance.

It is how forces are aligned that matters most.

Now add intention.

In a 'knowledge based' economy mental health care facilities will be owned and run in networks, and programmers and data scientists will play a critical role.

With the evernet and abilities to teleport, and with 3d imaging and advances in AI and robotics, we will not only have humans getting quality health care from their homes, but poverty and death will be defeated.

One will be able to have a digital clone that will enable him to be at many places at once, there'll be constant appraisal of health status, advanced medical procedures, and in the event one 'dies', the digital image will still be able to work, relate with people, and 'create' new things.

Death is running out of fashion.

How can humanity face these changes?

Yes, the changes cannot come that drastically, but with faiba offering data speeds 100mbs, you can be sure that 20 years is a lot of time for these changes.

It all depends on how entrepreneurs will seize the opportunity.

Small steps can be taken now, as research and development increases its pace.

For example, 'we' could start with simple 2d products and intelligent simulators and networks running on phones and monitors and later advance to digital clones.

These simple products can address market needs from a very early stage.

School carricula and training methods can be changed slowly, themes in art and entertainment can be changed, and the Jua Kali sector can be redefined.

Social and cultural events can be programed early enough from an entrepreneurial perspective to facilitate these on going changes.

The desire for Self actualization and identity.

Globalization, and the increasing interconnection of cultures, demands a framework in which one is able to relate with others while still maintaining his/her freedom.

That is, these ideas need only be taken to the market, or subjected to market forces.
