Tell me, have you heard this song and listened to the lyrics or have you just plain relized this.

That depends on what the things we are inventing are.
If we invent something that does not harm the world in any way it does not bring us closer to the end.

one step closer to the future
one inch closer to the end

This is true of course. Every second is a second closer to the end.

I forgot to add this but I apologize if I'm scaring anyone.

I havent listen to the song... Im going to download it... but why closer to the apocalipse? possibilities r infinite.... instead of creating contaminating machines, in the future we might be able to solve this(well not in the future like 2 years from now, maybe hundresds -_-')... but as I said before possibilities r endless we maigth take the right ones or the wrong ones who knows?

hmm debating whether or not to move this to sensory pleasures o.o`

Umm i have never heard that song but i do beileve that the huma race is driving the world into a apocalipse and all that destruction stuff T_T.

ya the human race is going to end up causeing major problems to the earth and cause it to become destroyed in certain parts if not the whole.

well, yeah if we keep finding new ways to kill each other...

but, people shouldn't be limited by things like "the end"... it's not something to fear... it's a new beginning...

sure, people suck, but that doesn't mean they can't change...

though most times they don't want to...

I never heard of that song, but I have read several philosophical arguments in my philosophy class about that conception.

Kedar Says: One's creations leads to one's demise, but not always.

Hehe...In some instances that is true, but not always. Some inventions have made life easier, haven't they? So, it depends on what is made. Nice discussion topic, btw.
