Relvancy of discussions
Concerning the relevance of the humanist vs. technologist debate
of recent digests, I see no reason why they should NOT be in this
digest. Assuming that the material in each disgest accurately reflects
the amount of contributions, then everyone's missive is making it out on
the list anyway, so what's to complain about?
Offhand, I don't see where the humanist/technologist dichomety
is MORE appropriately discussed than concerning space, that field being
a major area of technological endeavor with possibly the largest
potential impact upon humanity. In order to make sense of technology,
the human factors must be added to the equation. Ignoring one for the
other is perhaps expedient but ill-fated. Although I agree with JP that
if forced to choose between 'art' and 'technology', 'art' would, for me,
lose, though it would be painful to actually do such a deed.
