Talk:Fear Creation Theories/@comment-11170851-20140126232318

As I know the comment will likely be deleted/edited out (likely by myself), but this really needs to be given a proper discussion given the choice of example given for the Fear Embodiment Theory...

The fear of technological advancement isn't a 'newer fear.' 

''We've writings from the Roman and Greece period discussing leeriness towards newer technologies. See also, Luddites from the Industrial Revolution, the slow adoption of gunpowder within Europe during the late Medieval period, etc. ''

''It's become more marked, yes, as we've been able to more rapidly communicate our ideas (*gasp, ironic comments go here about the Unabomber*)...but it is in NO way a new fear to fear new technologies. ''

''Fear of religion, on the other hand ...especially an overt fear of Judeo-Christian based religions is very much new to the Western construct frame. (Doesn't work outside of the Western framework, given how much White Christianity has fucked a whole loada places over)''
