Panic - the
best simulation of danger. A person is not in danger, but he becomes unable to
think, make decisions, and desperately in need of help. It contributes to a
swelling panic cruel laws and totalitarian regimes. And the more violent panic,
so we are defenseless. So what is happening in the world now? What we are
taught to be afraid of? Technology and progress.
They were
the personification of evil, since the Middle Ages. Progress and science are
presented as dangerous, that allows keeping the masses away from a very
interesting source. At a minimum, a source of investment. As a maximum - the
creation of technologies that we are unable to control.
Those who
create the first artificial intelligence, a powerful weapon, cheap energy -
risks radically intervene in the existing order of things. But there are those
to whom it is unprofitable. Any more or less strong fluctuation risks knocking
humanity the ground from under their feet. And the fear of the unknown is more
important than common sense.
However, the
choice between these options is able to make every one of us.
