Reasoning

As I talked about last post we get to enmeshed within all of these controversies and our "experst" voices are lost. This is why I enjoyed this last reading by Ms. Sarah Whatmore. She talked of an ever-growing ever-more diversified group of people who have a say because the use of these technologies is being spread so widely throughout our society. We skepticize and trust with a taught line in the public because of the wire connected to our experts/scientists and public policy making. Once again not to say that we do not trust our scientist merely that they need to be watched . This problem however is the problem of excessive skepticism, but we already went over this. Once ago these disputes were settled by experts who just said what to do but with technology ever growing and everyone thinking that they are now experts it is harder to disperse the claims that keep pouring in. Our social enviroment will not let anything pass through without being looked at twice just to be safe. In regards to the enviroment many disputes need to be handled immediately which is just not possible in this day and age; unless our officials were to take an executive route. Which would still be ridiculed probably even more so. None-the-less we must reason through these disputes swiftly but surely in order to determine the best route and we must stop this excessive skepticism and learn to take the back seat as everyone more or less wants the best for the people.
