Fire from the Gods

Joel Garreau believes that we are moving towards the future direction of mankind, and human beings will no longer exist as we know it. As Paul Virilio said, we are becoming a technology. The fusion of people and technology will enable us to understand the meaning that humans are no longer applicable. There may still be "natural" people, but there are also "refined" people who rely on the latest GRIN technology to enhance their abilities. GRIN technology refers to genetics, robotics, information and nanotechnology.

The gods of this ancient universe are the only things that really knows what is going on. In Prometheus' s myth, the half god stole the fire of man from God; but if the permanent way of knowing can be stolen from God - real fire ... and this is the most It is a thief of great thought Aristotle stole. Aristotle's fingers are facing ... Because that concept is very common, another Athenian philosopher Cratylus will adopt the second to second permanent change concept. Since you are also changing, please enter the river once. "

There is an ancient myth about how humans used fire for the first time - maybe you have heard it before. The story says that Titan Prometheus gave it to humans after stealing fire from God, expressing sympathy for their weak and helpless body. This angry Zeus kept Prometheus on the rock and was torn into the liver every day at the Eagle (until the last Hercules showed him). The reason why Zeto punishes Prometheus so badly (as Plato said) is because the fire actually hurts humans rather than help them. Fire represents technical knowledge that gives human being the power of the surrounding environment - for example to make it warm and bright at night. This problem arises from the fact that Prometheus did not stolen, part of the knowledge that he can not master, self recognition (ie wisdom). It will allow humans to master themselves.

In ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus is said to be the wisest of all Titans. In the form of fire, Prometheus is believed to bring human knowledge and enlightenment. He stole the fire from the gods of the mountain Olympus. To violate the laws of the gods, they want to protect their firepower, and Prometheus was severely punished. He was trapped on the rock and was eaten by eagle everyday. Every night his liver grows. This is his punishment for eternity

Prometheus: In Greek mythology, Titan Prometheus created humanity. To help his creative progress, he stealed fire from God and handed it to humans to counter Zeus' wish. The fire caused this competition and brought about innocence in the game. Zeus punishes Prometheus by connecting him to the rock and sending an eagle to eat his liver every day. This Shelly's subtitle of Frankenstein is "or modern Prometheus". Frankenstein is "modern Prometheus" and stole the power of God to create life. In order to steal this power, he was punished as Prometheus was punished for stealing fire from God.
