00:00Science will continue to develop. You cannot stop that and it must not be stopped.
00:04There is no reason.
00:05The question now is, since we will have scientific progress and we will have technological progress,
00:12who then is the knower of science and the consumer of technology?
00:16That's the question you should ask.
00:18Is the knower of science wise enough?
00:20Because science is going to become even more powerful.
00:25Is the consumer of technology wise enough, sane enough?
00:29Because there will be even more abundance of the goods on offer.
00:34The markets will be brimming with stuff, offering consumption, endless consumption.
00:42So are you sane enough? That's the question you should ask.
00:47Right?
