Quote by: Athena  We must keep in mind the reason for freedom of speech is to increase our awareness and advance our consciousness through reasoning. It is vital that we remain aware, and what happened in Germany was not special to Hitler and the NAZI, but the result of advancing technology. We have two things going here. One is an accumulation of knowledge that increases our ability to control our reality. The other is the choices about what we want to control for.
I have a 1940's eugenics book written by an American doctor, that expresses the same desire to rid humanity of "defectives" as Hitler expressed, and Christians and Muslims continue to express when speaking of homosexuals, and each other. Eugenics is the study of perfecting the human species, and many approach this from a racist point of view. For God's sake, keep this in the light of day, by respecting the need for freedom of speech, and the power of reason. Because if we don't, we can distort our understanding of history and the human potential for evil. The subject does not stay in the past, but is with us today. |
One can certainly reason that Germany could have produced jet engines for passenger airlines, or rocketry to put humans into orbit. Its not reasonable to assume only through WW II that technology could have advanced and been entered into humanity.
