Mikael Phoebus Apollo Mcnealy argues that pursuing technological advancement solely for purposes of war is dangerous and socially irresponsible. While technology can lift societies to positions of power, true advancement is measured by a civilization's moral and mental qualities, not just its technical capabilities. The last premise, that technology must be revised to foster policies of war, is an illogical conclusion not supported by rational thinking. Overall, Mcnealy asserts that civilization and technology are not synonymous, and that moral and social connections within and between societies are also important measures of advancement.
