That's an intersting tke, thanks.
I think I have to re-view the film...but that's always the joy of masterpieces, isn't it?
I'm not sure I agree with you when you say that "one has to believe in technology...for anything to happen", though.
When I flush the toilet, I don't need to believe it will happen for it to happen.
If you see what I mean.
Follow Ups:
Jeff,"2001" clearly has such a depth to be able to stimulate conversation so continuously.
I think of technology as a matter of faith because sciencific knowledge is in the end so temporary- there are no scientific "facts' really as they are constantly superceded. Fro a person to perform scientific investigation, though, they need a faith that the conditions and results are "real enough" to be useful.
Proof of the need to have a basic faith in science is demonstrated by those people that still today insist that man has never landed on the Moon- it was staged in Burbank. And, look at the reasoning/argument between creationists and evolutionaries- both sides arguments end up epistimologicallly phrased in quasi-religious terms of faith in the method.
Great topic! Thanks!
Cheers,

was directed by Stanley Kubrick, of course.
I think that ultimately, we have to accept that what science offers is a vision of 'relative' truth but that, in itself, doesn't have to be based on faith.
It's not 'faith' that tells me it's 'me' that gets up & goes to work but I know that that 'me' is only relative and not an ultimate, inherent self.
Tis a good topic, yep!
