Interesting, I just looked at the post you linked to.... you have been thinking on the same lines, as well.

In Sunday school (many moons ago) I was taught that God confused the languages of the people due to their "pride" in attempting to reach heaven by building a tower in Babel.

I've since understood the deeper meaning. Men can accomplish many things that they should not. The following verse from Genesis 11 is quite chilling to me.

5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

That one is one we are unravelling. First, with the invention of the printing press and then, explosively, with the invention of the internet and the tech that supports it.

The rate of change in the world is already approaching a pace that human beings can not deal with, mentally nor emotionally.

It will get FAR worse. The rate of change is only increasing - and exponentially so.
