Man[goes to "The Future"

 The episode of  "The American Life" podcast was called "Escape from the Lab" which conversed about how many creations have unintended creations which are not necessarily good, to say the least. And really went through many of the podcast descriptions to find something that would interest me since I do not want to sleep in these boring and dark times, especially since many of the more recent podcasts are related to coronavirus or the scuffed election.

One of my main concerns always has been the misuse of "new" things, for example, the movie Gattaca really displayed the fears of genetic engineering. But it doesn't even need to just be technology. It could just be new ideas or processes. For example the idea of The Bachelor impacted Colton's life quite significantly. Humans are not perfect. They are not always good or something, that is why there are debates on things like genetic engineering. 

Humans have prejudices and unconscious thoughts. They have imperfections, such as shown in the revoke of the award for the "Jose" (nsfw). While more developed, humans are still animals and as such, they have primal instincts such as greed and tenacity and tenacity to satisfy this greed. And with the cunning brain of ours, we try our best to either survive or satisfy our greed. And this is how some of these "unintended consequences" occur, like the dropping of the atomic bomb, might add: twice. Add this to how we are brought up and the opinion of the people in our environment and environment itself seeping into you. I feel so bad for some people who live with people with utterly stupid opinions. Man!
