It's kind of the most important precondition for SSI shtick, that you're incoherent in one way or another when you post. 

If we're minding our Scriptural P's and Q's, it was Gen. 11 that brought the Tower of Babel scattering and in 1 Cor. 10 (that's First Corinithians, Donald, not One Corinthians) Paul emphasized that it was indeed Jesus making these decisions.  So you were right all along :- )

.....

I couldn't agree with your basic point more, and it's a fascinating one.  Gen. 11 says that if the whole world could communicate, then "nothing will be restrained from them, which they imagine to do."  The earth's scientists have been truly collaborating since when ... oh, 1900 A.D.?  And bang, millenia of primitive tech spirals within a few generations into 3D printing and genetic engineering and thought-driven machines and who knows what Google is up to.

What technology would you rule out over the next 100 years?

According to this logic, which may or may not be necessarily inferred, the Earth's timeline would therefore be in the final stages (since the Babel Strategy has been cancelled).  Not that I'm a End of Time kinda guy.
