Throughout human history, new technologies offered unprecedented opportunities, but also posed serious risks. Combined with insufficient concern for the wellbeing of others, technological progress sometimes caused vast amounts of suffering. While there are reasons to think these harms will be temporary, this may not be true in all cases {Tobias Baumann}

ON THE VERGE OF VERTIGO

When I wake up and I hear the news on my radio
It dawns on me, this world’s on the verge of vertigo
It took a while to realize we’re running out of time
And time is all we’ve got, flashing by like a cameo

Take my word, when we reach the edge of humanity
There’s nomore place for the weak, disturbing society
If we survive a third worldwar, I guess we’re the lucky ones
And luck is what we need to survive insanity 

If that’s alright with us, nothing changes for the better
If that’s alright with us, we’re on our own, there’s no together
If that’s alright with us, nothing really matters anymore

This world’s on the verge of vertigo
This world’s on the verge of vertigo

Trying hard to get used to global hostility
People die just like that and there’s no apology
On second thought it’s no ones fault, but people tend to disagree
And when they do, shooting guns become a normality 

If that’s alright with us, nothing changes for the better
If that’s alright with us, we’re on our own, there’s no together
If that’s alright with us, nothing really matters anymore

This world’s on the verge of vertigo
This world’s on the verge of vertigo

If we survive a third worldwar, I guess we’re the lucky ones
And luck is what we need to escape reality

This world’s on the verge of vertigo

On the verge of vertigo

Robert Kett (d 1549) - a tanner and small landowner, holding the manor of Wymondham in Norfolk, - was unusual among leaders of peasant risings for his organisational skill. The insurgents set up camp for six weeks at Mousewold Heath, overlooking Norwich, and Kett imposed a remarkable discipline, electing a governing council and maintaining law and order. Kett's oak, which you can still see growing beside the B1172 between Wymondham and Hethersett, was the famous site of Kett's address to the rebels. Kett had himself enclosed his estate's local common, part of the Tudor economic revolution to replace poor arable with much more productive sheep farming, but reversed the process when he saw the distress it caused to his tenants. Kett's forces occupied Norwich, then the second town of England, and defended it successfully against a force sent in by the royal government under Lord Northampton, whom they routed. Three weeks later a much more brutal second force, stiffened with mercenaries and less prone to sympathy, under Earl Warwick, cut Kett's rebels to pieces at Dussingdale. Kett was hanged as a traitor on the walls of Norwich Castle and his brother William on the abbey walls at Wymondham. 

Poachers on the Common (The Ballad of Kett’s Rebellion) (1549)

As I lay down on Mousehold Heath,
I heard two corbies beak to beak,
‘It’s cold as death, fifteen below.
To Norwich Castle let us go.

‘Upon its wall, a traitor hangs
Who led last summer’s rebel gangs:
Twelve thousand men, a city strong,
Unfencing nine and twenty wrongs.’

The Commons’ land, he gave it back
Then led their time-honoured attack
And his bare bones shall be his plaque
Till crows are white and snows are black.

At Dussindale they broke his army;
His brother hanged on Wymondham Abbey;
His name is blood in church and state,
We’ll pick his bones to celebrate.

His brave old England: shabby crops
Outselling woollens in the shops;
The oak its heart until its bark
Is cut to build a new car park.’

‘His brave new England on the hill
In narrow streets and arms fulfilled;
Its oak near Hethersett will stand
While people matter more than plans.’

The Commons’ land, he gave it back
Then led their time-honoured attack
And his bare bones shall be his plaque
Till crows are white and snows are black.

"This Memorial was placed here by the citizens of Norwich in reparation and honour to a notable and courageous leader in the long struggle of the common people of England to escape from a servile life into the freedom of just conditions" (Plaque on the wall of Norwich Castle.) Pic is wood cut of Kett in Chapelfield Park, Norwich.
