"I don't want to blame the knowledge, I want to blame the behavior of people in the presence of the knowledge."-Neil deGrasse Tyson
The reason I picked this quote is because I think hes right, knowledge isn't to blame if its not used correctly its the person who is using that knowledge for the wrong things like war. If you put knowledge in the wrong hands it can be used for bad things like bombs and war. What Neil deGrasse Tyson also said was that we need better knowledge management. Which is true if you don't want it getting into the wrong hands then yes we do need knowledge management. I like this quote because it tells you that If scientist creates something harmfull like a bomb, there not the ones using it therefore they cant be the ones to be blamed. I think that scientist should be allowed to create anything they want as long as its not put into the wrong hands. This quote makes me think about how many people would use science for bad things and how it would effect us in more than on way, like maybe we would be in a constant war and who ever had more powerful weapons would win. but that would probably lead to mass destruction which wouldn't be good and then the earth would probably die. |
