	Not meaning to re-start a flame war =P,  but I think you mean
	technology, not science. Yes, technological development is
	(partly) related to what can be called 'basic' science but
	 they are distinct.

	That's a possibility, but it doesn't strike me as too
	consistent with the 'science' of 'biology' - How many examples
	of species that commit collective suicide are there? Why should
	human *animals* be different? Even inter species competition
	doesn't lead to complete destruction usually.

	On the other hand, given the trends in 'networking' and
	totalitarianism, it wouldn't be too surprising if the human
	race became some sort of collective entity in which our ruling
	monsters (say google and clinton) would act as a 'brain'.
