Frequency of progress

Progress, as a phenomenon that can be viewed through the prism of the presence of allowed (or forbidden) technology. This feature is due to the fact that science is actively involved in the life of a man contemplating changing it (body, mind) with the aim of further development.

The well-known during the Renaissance, when the church Inquisition actively opposed the scientists and artists who are "different" look at the world. The human body was declared "crown of creation", and any infringement of the "Crown" was regarded as a crime against God.

During the period when any science (except for proper and correct) recognized heresy, the gradual accumulation of knowledge. Any achievement of individual scientists to preserve and refuge with great care. When the period of the "accumulation" eaten up to a certain point, information is beginning to spread in an uncontrolled flow, finding listeners everywhere.

Certain stagnation in science - is useful. This gives time to summarize achievements to date and possible reorientation of interests. If properly used the allotted time, you can find more rational ways of development. Of course, if the question is about the scope of entertainment, or focused on a small part of mankind. Otherwise - to slow progress tantamount to a crime.

Yes, we face risks, and there will be those who suffer from an accelerated pace. But the introduction of oncology drugs, which treats one hundred and kills one must reverse the "morals". Ultimately, you can let people choose themselves whether to use those medicines which are not at risk to put forward to the market. Understandably, after referring to the principle of craving the drug and possible consequences.

Progress is accelerating a natural course of events, but we can artificially slow down the process. Of course, the process of such "crimes" would, some of them taking place today.

Do not be afraid of "inhibition" or "acceleration" in the sciences. It is necessary to competently use the new features. Adapt to unpredictable events. Monitor current news. It is very difficult and requires a lot of effort invested.

But the road to the stars, is through the thorns.
