I must agree with C4 Diesel. Perfection is not a universal concept. When speaking of such encompasing ideas as technology and society it can not be applied.
To your first post: Humans did not create existance, the only goal perhaps is to perserve a strong gene pool as a species. Depending who you follow with natural selection theory I agree with Richard Dawkings, we are byproducts of a single replicating cell's need to survive, we have evolved from that single cell and everything we have developed organicly has afforded us influence over our enviroment and the ability to continue the survival of a genetic pool of D.N.A. ( I know this is overly generalized)
Our society's and cultures have not been designed, perhaps they have been limited to having to appeal to people but what has come to exist is not any one persons or groups of persons creation. It is the result from countless billions of lives existing, struggling and competing to perpetuate a genetic pool of D.N.A. Modern technology has allowed for a greater influence on our enviroment but why does it exist? Primarly because it benifits the inventor. Henry ford did not set out from the day of his birth to invent the modern production line and forward the industrial revolution. He realized he could build a car and make himself and his investors $150 dollars profit. I can't say if he ever comprehended the results of massproduced automobiles but he certainly garnered for himself power by becoming the worlds first billionair by most counts.
